This Is A Deceptively QUICK Truck! // 2020 Ford Ranger Off-Road Review

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

"To the hilt" is a reference to the use of daggers and swords. It means that you've stabbed someone as deep as you can, using the whole blade up to the hilt. Modern use simply means that sometime is done as much as it can be. Loaded to the hilt would mean loaded up with everything you can.

[@sblagg527]

I'm glad you mentioned the absurdity of truck prices these days, basically limits the purchase of them to individuals or companies who can write them off as a business expense.

[@drn13355]

They are selling them as fast as they can make them. The basic XL starts in the low 20s. How much cheaper do you want to "write off"?

[@jeffconrad2607]

We have 5 Ford's in my family and I use the keypad all the time! I love them!

[@ead1017]

"To the hilt" means "all the way." If you stab someone "to the hilt," that means you have put the entire sword/knife into them, all the way to handle, hilt" YIKES

[@rhark25]

Or, simply replacing the blade in it's sheath or scabbard it would go up to the hilt

Love my '19 Ranger XLT FX4 crew! 1yr 12,400mis on her. She keeps getting better an better. Powertrain is superb! Interior top of class. Most tech of all midsized trucks. New midsize class leader by far. Good job Ford Motor!

[@davidmccoy9021]

I bought a 2019 Ranger XLT this pass September. I also have an ‘02 Ranger with the 3.0 L V6. Do not let the 4 cylinder 2.3L fool you. The mating of motor and transmission will haul some serious ass. The Lariat was not worth the added expense to me. I got the truck I wanted in a price range that got me bang for buck. It was a retirement gift to myself, 40 years in Paper making. Love my Rangers. The ‘02 is a 5 speed manual my daughter learned to drive.

[@davidmccoy9021]

Ken Davis no I have not experienced any engine shudder. I have about 12,000 miles on mine and no issues.

[@Jimtac]

I constantly use my door keypad on my Crown Vic. Super handy.

[@jasone1290]

I have a ‘19 Fusion with the digital keypad. Use it all the time!

[@IKnewMickey]

Jason E The single most underrated feature is that ford key pad. Almost makes me want to switch back to ford from my current Toyota, almost.

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great review, Sarah. This is a seriously cool truck! BTW...Ford Performance just announced that they're making some accessories available for the Ranger. They include. off-road wheels, tires and suspension, a tune that adds 40 HP and 60 LB FT of torque and a cat-back exhaust. All of the things you mentioned are coming to fruition. You're so darn smart! It's always nice to see that you bring your penguin friends along for the ride. I can't imagine one of your car reviews without them. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.

[@fordfan7829]

Loved my 2011 Ranger V-6 and now have the 2019 Ranger since new. Neither saw the dealer after purchase - run like champs with no issues. I really wanted the F150 but it was too big and did not fit my driveway. The Ranger has fantastic gas milage and its quick like you said. I have the Lariat and picked this truck due to style, performance and overall very good experience with Ford. Only complaint was the truck was expensive and stupid named tires. I really love your channel but your scores seem kinda harsh.

[@mikelemoine4267]

I love the touchpad keyless entry. We used to load up several cars and go to the beach every weekend. You can drive and park right on the beach so everyone would park together and lock their keys inside my car when we'd go swimming or walking on the beach. It was great as everything was secure.

[@Primus54]

I’m dating myself, but there was a time when pick-ups were much more affordable than passenger cars, although the list of available options was short. Back then, you mostly bought a pickup because you really needed one for work, towing, or country living. Somewhere along the line, pickups became trendy to own (especially 4x4’s) driving up the market and with the standard and available options, prices got out of hand. There is no way a Ford Ranger is worth anywhere near $50k... $35k would be a stretch. I admit, this Ranger is nice but I wouldn’t pay that price even if money didn’t matter.

[@mattgeiger9988]

After discounts and incentives you dont pay that price, got a decent load xlt for 24,000 in 2019

[@doomtomb3]

Truth. The greed heads have lost their minds.

[@anthony2558]

@@mattgeiger9988 i believe were referring to pre 80's when a f150 was $8000 and less.

[@officialyasir]

Base ranger starts at 24k MSRP, comes with the same engine and transmission as every other trim. You can add some discounts to that and get one of those.

[@bubbaj6929]

All our fault. We don’t buy them. Price will come down.

[@amillionbandzC4]

That Ranger really surprised me on looks & performance , thank you on the great content 🚘

[@badopinionsrighthere]

I use that number pad on my old merc all the time. It's perfect for leaving my keys and wallet in the center console when I'm running.

[@iveyfaganjr605]

Those buttons on the door are amazing and I have no clue why no one else puts these on the cars! You can look the car while it's running to grab a drink or grab your take out. Plus you can get in to it if you don't have your keys. Genius!!!

[@InvertedAerials]

Key Pad - use it on my explorer and f-150 all the time! Best invention ever!!! Used it 2 days ago when I grabbed a bunch of camping gear and remembered that I had forgot to grab the keys...didn’t care, had the touch pad! Saved some time!

[@charliepherdinkatz9165]

I own 3 Fords, and use the keypad every day!! They’re the best thing ever, and Ford better not get rid of it 😜

[@williamnoll7935]

I own four Fords... 2013 Escape (pillar integrated), 2019 Mustang (none), 2017 F-350 (attached), and 2020 Edge (pillar integrated). I use the keypads all the time (moving stuff between vehicles, like my backpack and work badge); I really wish the Mustang had one. When you own a 'herd' of Fords, you don't always carry all the key fobs, so access is easy with the keypads.

[@chriseber7714]

William Noll or if your key fob is in the vehicle and a passenger grabs the handle at the same time you do causing the vehicle to lock itself

[@jimfberry]

I have a 2018 Ranger 2.2, 4 cyl. Diesel 29-30 MPG. I just love it!

[@stevoreno45]

I have a 2018 F150 and I LOVE the cold seats as well as the trac control in the snow. I never use those buttons on the door the doors. My doors unlock when I have the fob in my pocket and I put my hand on the handle. You're the coolest Sarah!

[@exmortis4404]

I used my keypad on my 2018 F150 almost every time I use it. I leave my keys in the truck when I shop, because I can enter and lock via keypad. Love it!!!

[@paintrain5285]

Yes, I use the key pad and love it. I can go run, hike, bike or some other activity where I don’t have to take my keys. Although on the Ranger it looks tacky.

[@rallyspeed]

The combo lock buttons: I've had them on all my Fords. Love them and use them daily. And yes, manual hand operated parking brake = true emergency brake! I love it, wish my F150's still had manual brake.

[@matthewconte2198]

I drove a Colorado just to compare before finalizing my Ranger decision and got about 50 ft before I realized the Chevy has a dumb e-brake pedal and it was on.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Owned Fords for many years and YES I do use the keypads on the ones I've owned (and do today with my 2018 F-150) even with Ford Pass I use the keypad to get in the truck when I don't have my key handy - one of the best use cases for the feature is when people go for a run/jog/walk they don't have to lug around their keys with them (or hide it).

[@kevink6409]

The keypad is one of the best features on a car. I use mine all the time.

[@drzig530]

I love the real "keyless entry". Great for running, biking, hiking or airport, just lock the key in the vehicle and its there when you come back. No need to tie it into your running shoe or keep track of it while out doing things.

[@davidjensen5626]

That combo lock deal on Fords - genius. Especially here in AZ. Leave your AC on with your truck locked while you run in to the store real quick or something. Friggin genius.

[@snarktwain644]

I've used the keyless since I would play with my Dad's 1984 Lincoln Continental, which had it. Started selling Lincolns when I was 20 in 1985 and demo's that feature thousands of times. My 2020 Ford Escape SE Sport has it, but it's in the B pillar, translucently behind the black trim which is sweet looking..

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I used to have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred (BEST car I ever had, I miss it alot) I used the door keypad all the time, to unlock the doors & open the trunk!

I use mine all the time on my F150. It's a great idea, especially when I'm out kayaking. Can leave the keys secure in the truck, without worrying about them

[@robbiefitch8787]

We use the keypad daily on our FoMoCo vehicles. I changed the codes to be the same on all of them, makes it easy for our family to remember. Love your reviews and humor. Keep them coming!

[@TheBandit7613]

I use my combo on the door. When I go camping, I can get in N out of the truck without the key, or lock the door with the AC running. It also controls auto locking doors and seat belt bells. It's a control panel for truck features. And of course, never lock yourself out.

[@TheWhisperTexan]

With the keypad on my Ford Taurus I never locked myself out of my car.

[@OHJLM]

This looks so much better than I thought it would. The grill design makes a big difference.

[@coolchef09]

my escape has the keypad on the center pillar and i love it. you can always get into your car and never have to have your key on you. sounds little but its nice.

[@pb730c3]

I have a 2016 Fusion with The stealth Securicode that is touch and hidden in the gloss black of the drivers door. Love it, once you unlock with the code if you hold down the 3/4 button it will unlock the rest of the doors, and for the Fusion holding 5/6 pops the trunk. To Lock the car hold down 7/8 and 9/0.

[@raymondmimick5198]

For the two F150s I own, I've used the key pad every time I use the truck(s). I lock the doors via the key pad, open the doors when I don't have the key and overall just use it.

[@icer3jdy]

The phrase "to the hilt" comes from Roman times, when a person was executed they were made to kneel then a sword thrust was made from the base of the skull through the neck. Severing the skull from the spinal cord, slicing the jugular veins from the inside so that the person's lungs fill with blood. The sword was pushed all the way to the hilt. It was considered a humane way to kill. So every time you say that phrase you have ordered someone's death, fairies have died and an angel loses its wings. The truck review video was great also.

[@michaelkatz5876]

I miss my '79 Ranger 1/2 ton. Candy apple red. I'm not a big fan of all the electronic doodads on vehicles now days. It seems at one time or another they quit working. Been watching you for a few weeks and severly love your facial expressions and little pokes of humor. I really enjoy the detailing vids. Love you!

[@jeffreydavis8838]

I’ve owned three Fords (currently an F150) with the touchpad entry system. I love it. When I hit the trails I can leave my keys in the truck in case of emergency. Walk outside in your PJs to get something out of your Ford but forgot the keys? No problem!

[@bobdobslob]

I've never owned a Ford, but I am envious of the door keypad, just because it's great for beach trips were you don't want to dunk your key. Just hide the key inside, and go swimming.

[@bubbaborsci7123]

Ford Key Pad entry. I love it and use the key pad all the time on my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. Really nice to go grab things out of the car without having the key or fob on me. It's nice to see the Ranger back; I'm not a fan of small ecoboost turbo engines. The new Ranger is way too expensive compared to the previous generation; you can buy larger trucks for similar pricing. For a $50K truck they oddly used the old school key pad instead of the capacitive touch ones in the door pillar like other Ford and Lincoln models. A regular engine choice would be nice. My daily from 2001 to 2010 was a 1998 Ranger XLT Extended Cab with the 3.0L V6....awesome little truck and took us on a lot of camping trips. I put 175,000 trouble free miles on it. My Ranger was white and the paint still looked new to the end keeping in mind this was before Ford came up with their "peel"-formance white paint. When I sold it, it held its value. I paid $12K and sold it for $4K....great little truck.

I am a fan of the Ford Ranger, which says a lot. I'm 6'3 and my first new vehicle was a 94 standard cab Ranger XL. I drove that little 4-cyl Ranger for around 6 years. That lil Ranger got me through several PCSs (McChord, Osan, Fairchild, and Luke). I know there have been a ton of techy improvements since 1994, but I have a hard time justifying a $47K Ranger. Maybe a diesel Raptor. But that's a big maybe. We got our 2019 F250 4x4 (horse hauler)for a bit more than the Ranger in your video. Higher prices seems to be the norm and I'm an old fart. Keep the great videos rolling.

I had a 97 Town Car with the key pad and I wish every car had them. Could unlock the door, all doors, open the trunk, and lock all doors with the keypad. Was never locked out and didn’t have to grab my keys to get stuff from the car. And it rode like a living room. I’d give that car a rating of 4 penguins for sure.
