I find this rather hilarious, I selected build my own ford ranger lariat, with base options, nothing fancy, it's $46k. The one I bought (in 2019) has some additional options; STX Chrome Package, Towing Package, and a electronic locking differential. I paid $37k out the door. Literally $10k less than what you claim is the "budget" friendly Ranger. I think ford is gunna go out of business. Almost every car around me has a "market adjustment tax" making every car they sell not worth buying.

[@John__Wayne]

The Ranger used to be reasonably priced and good for many uses. Lots of small businesses used them around here but people can’t afford them anymore. No single cab option along with many other things make them another amenity most average people can’t afford. Ford does make single cab, diesel, manual transmission rangers in other countries but we can’t have them in the USA

[@jimsomerville3924]

Yeah, extended cabs are useless, but single cabs with a longer bed would still have a lot of utility.

[@jeffreycormier3864]

Yeah...and now this is going to be the highest MSRP Ranger we have ever seen.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

They start at 32k. Compare that apples to apples with any other mid size truck. Very competitive and affordable. They also make the maverick for people who can’t afford 32k.

[@jensendkmg7209]

@@Jay-bw3fl But that's the point. Whats the value proposition here? If you need lightweight truck duty, the maverick is cheaper, does just as good for 95% of uses, is a hybrid and is cheaper. What does the ranger offer? I can get a ~2019 f150 with about 60K miles for 29K if i need a truck for real truck stuff. Why bother? Ranger is totally pointless.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@jensendkmg7209 an f150 with 60k miles is hardly the same as a brand new truck with full 5 year 60K miles factory warranty. Lol. I said apples to apples not apples to oranges because I knew someone would make a dumb comparison like that. A ranger is more capable than a maverick and cheaper and easier to live with in a city than an f150. Ford is filling all gaps in their line up and it makes sense whether you like it or not. Maverick starts at 23k Ranger starts at 32k F150 super cab starts at 38k It’s not complicated

[@godshandbigfootofalabama4686]

So at 61 years old, I've had a variety of trucks. My last "truck" was a 2019 Ranger XLT for 32K. It took a bit to get used to the porpoising feeling and I wasn't sure about it overall. And then....I got lost in the Talledega Nat'l forest... The Nav showed roads that were old logging roads from maybe the 1950's (?) to give you an idea of the bad conditions. That little truck didn't miss a beat ! HUGE ruts filled with water and mud, loose gravel winding turns and everything in between. A heavy truck would have sank ! I ended up averaging 23.5 mpg, pulled a camper everywhere and did a lot of remodeling with it too....All with ZERO issues. If I need another truck, I won't think twice about buying another Ranger. PS: I HAMMERED that little 2.3 liter like I stole it ! LOL

[@Foxbody302]

I wouldn’t hesitate either! But the only problem I have is the 2nd generation 2.7 EcoBoost found from 2018-present is the fact it has a rubber oil pan belt. When I found out it had that I was furious. Luckily I have a 17 and it has a chain driven oil pump.

[@PrimeEchoes]

I love how “bigger masculine aggressive front end” is being justified as a reasonable alternative/upgrade on the new Ranger to “being able to see over the hood of your truck is feminine” on the old Ranger lmfao. There is no doubt that the new design looks much nicer, but that line of justification says everything about the state of modern truck design and marketing. Form over function and appearance over safety. I own a 2021 XLT and the ability to see over most of the hood and easily nose it in when parking is seriously underrated.

[@harbingertheheretic3541]

Remember the 2001-2003 F-150 Supercrew? People joked about the sloped hood & rounded front end being a "ladies truck," but it had better visibility & got better MPG than the 2005 Supercrew. Had both in the family, and I'd buy the older truck if I ever saw it for sale.

[@chadgraber4575]

Exactly. I have a 2019 built into an overland rig. Great site lines and visibility.

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

Totally agree. And I don't think the new one looks "no doubt much nicer". It looks pretty similar. And the old one looks ZERO percent feminine. He's just a sales guy selling a product. Ignore him.

Definitely a great little truck but eventually I will upgrade and I’m looking at these Rangers and Tacomas.

[@spyder000069]

If you compare the spec dimension of the 2024 Ranger and F150 its only around 4 inches different in height and width. Weight is only a few hundred pounds different as well. Seems like its losing its "mid-sized" charm while also losing its "mid -sized" price. Makes me miss my 2000 era ranger which was still more truck than the maverick without over stepping into full size territory.

[@BillLaBrie]

Sums it up perfectly.

[@jaylapointe1654]

Keep in mind that weight is close because the f150 is aluminum.

[@BlueOvals24]

The "small" trucks like the Maverick seem to be the new midsize. Meanwhile midsize trucks seem to be no different than fullsize. I almost feel like they're trying to kill off midsize trucks in favor of this new breed of small trucks.

[@jeffreycormier3864]

You kept saying "Ford did this to save money" or "did that to save money" and that's great because as a global version of the truck, it should cost less. But who does it cost less for? Ford or the consumer? What is the price of an outgoing FX4 compared to the new FX4? I'd love to know considering the only thing car manufacturers have been consistent with is raising the cost of their vehicles year over year. This vehicle should be the same price or cheaper than the outgoing model, but I'm willing to bet that not only will this not be the case but the new one will actually cost buyers MORE.

[@dallasfrost1996]

The new Ranger will do fairly well I'd say, though the Tacoma will probably remain king of mid-size trucks in the U.S. The new Colorado/Canyon twins are very nice as well and offer more features than the U.S spec Ranger... A little disappointing for the Ranger. The Temor package will most likely debut later on, it'll mimic the Wildtrak.

(Traded my Ranger for a 2022 Bronco in Sept., 2022, so I don't have it anymore.) I can't imagine the 2024 Ranger with that same tow package would be any different. It was *quite* surprising how easily that truck handled so much weight behind it. Very well-designed.

[@fastfairlane3677]

You mentioned how they saved money by keeping parts from the global Ranger. You failed to mention what Ford decontented from global Ranger: 4A transfer case, rear seat vents, ventilated front seats, in dash pop out cupholders. Upgraded transmission?? 2023 Ranger 10R80-590 lbft capacity, 2024 Ranger 10R60-443lbft capacity, and a price increase of 10%. I don't think this will change Tacoma dominance in midsize, especially with the changes/features on the 2024 Tacoma.

[@nickwad]

I think the 10R80 finally ditched because of its design flaws. Maybe the 10R60 will be an improvement, I hope. Right how I have 56k miles on my 10R80 and its clunking and popping at certain speeds, yet i have cared for the vehicle like my own child.

I plan to buy at the end of 2024 either a midsize or 1/2 ton. I am leaning mid-size for drivability and price. Max of 1,800 lbs of payload. Hmmm, what is the payload on the actual truck in this video? ;) I am impressed with the interior upgrades. The powertrains are solid. I am underwhelmed with the exterior. I have never been a Canyon/Colorado fan until 2023. GM has hit a home run inside and out with the new Colorado/Canyon. The new Tacoma is looking amazing with the exterior, interior, and under the hood, including a hybrid option. Perhaps the Ranger exterior will look less pedestrian in person? The Frontier is a fine truck as well as the Ridgeline. I think Ford should have done more with the Ranger. Again, it is on my list, but??? Oh, and as far as Ford simplifying choices, I have used the configurator and it looks to me that they have less choices in order to keep the prices higher. I don’t believe that fewer options means a lower price.

[@Sp3rmWizrd]

Only the tacoma and the ranger interest me, ranger with the 2.7l will absolutely be the fastest truck (aside from the raptor but I doubt the difference is that significant once tuned). Gmc and chevy have nice cosmetics but not really the power that the ranger has nor the reliability of the tacoma.

[@deanmay338]

@@Sp3rmWizrd agreed, the Ranger with the 2.7L will be a beast. Lots of nice mid-size trucks. All are on my short-list. But, leaning Tacoma with a 6’ bed. Hoping the payload will improve over the previous gen. The Frontier, nice truck too, is the only other midsizer with a 6’ bed option.

Well with the price of the new Ranger, I’ll keep driving our 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD. It has the 4.0L V6 with a 5spd automatic transmission and limited slip differential and a tow pkg. I have to have at least a 6’ bed as our truck is used mainly for work around our property. Before adding a K&N intake and a FlowMaster 3” exhaust system, I was getting 19mpg with the cruise set on 75mph, I’m now getting 23mpg. It has custom 2 tone paint, (Silver over Red metallic), custom upholstery, (Red with black trim and stitching), LimeX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, rear air shocks, running boards, dashboard cover, window vents and only 36K miles. With the new Ranger being a double cab, it has only a Useless 5’ bed. The Toyota Tacoma double cab is available with a 6’ bed and is more reliable than Ford. Most of us who own pickups use them for hauling so the wimpy 5’ bed is Worthless.

I may feel that way about the Ranger when I get to see the 2024. The old Ranger was the perfect size for me except no crew cab available. They need to do something about pricing.

Ford wimped out on this revision; i guess they don't have any battery production capacity yet, so they have to stay with pure ICE. The Tacoma outsells Ranger 3:1 so far in 2023, it will probably stay that way, and I expect Toyota to have the biggest year in their history in 2024, while FORD stock is reeling from the realization of the investing public that Ford has agreed to transfer billions to the UAW, and will have so little left over to invest, that they will fall further behind. Memo to Ford Board of Directors: Bring back Hackett!! he got us the Bronco and the Maverick. Farley has given us leftovers warmed up !!

2.7l option is hands down better than toyotas engine options, crazy tuning ability

[@nunyabusiness8441]

Yes Toyota's doing pretty good right now, but there's no one who's respectable that drives a "Maveric." Only someone that spends many thousands of $s to retrofit one into a built up UTV or golf-type cart😂

[@Sp3rmWizrd]

@@nunyabusiness8441 To each their own, I liked driving it a lot more than the outgoing Tacoma. Good gas, car like maneuverability, sort of fast.

[@nunyabusiness8441]

​@RyanHaynes-qs2od Are you talking about driving the Ranger, or the Maveric?

[@Sp3rmWizrd]

@nunyabusiness8441 Maverick, I'd pick a ranger over it any day of the week though. But I have an f150 regular cab.

[@phillipbaker2082]

The day I can no longer get chrome on a ford truck is when I shop somewhere else. Chrome or nothing! And that goes for my shifter on the column also.

[@ddreese]

The change in the front end I think has more to do with EU pedestrian safety standards

[@Toritouch]

Got my ranger in 2021 in xlt trim i love how the truck drives but had a transmission problems after 12k miles. Idk if i should stick with ford or go for a different truck

[@jkfaulkner]

Well equipped XLT or Lariat is still $50K. Not seeing how that global architecture is reducing cost.

[@onefastr6]

Well equipped XLT(w/FX4) is $41,800. Not sure what you consider “well equipped.”

[@tag_76]

When is the 2.7l eco boost going to be available in the Ranger?

[@DATDesign]

Had a 21 Ranger. Dumped it and got a 21 Taco. The new front bumper is fugly... and no that hood isn't any higher. The top of headlights are lower on the previous gen, that's it. And that rear emblem. . . Holy belt buckle Batman. Also, no 6' bed option or manual trans. Will say the Raptor is hot stuff, but beyond what I'd ever pay for a mid size, don't care it's offroadiness. I'm excited for my next gen Taco though.

[@stacymanley161]

No thank you FORD..I'll keep my 2002 Ford Ranger Sport truck with 200,000 original miles✌️

[@robedwards6926]

I had a 2020 and 1999. Now a 2021, having a full backseat and 4 doors is really nice.

[@dantheman4751]

One of the best showcasings of this vehicle to date. Great job. I have to say that I am not thrilled with the front end design, but the rest looks great. There is something to be said for a definitive front bumper for a masculine appearance on a truck. Hence the Ranger Raptor design. It seems super lazy not to delete buttons for feautures the vehcile doesn't have. That, along with the empty hole where the rear vents should be. I look forward to seeing what aftermarket parts come out for front end appearance.

[@CyberSamurai4Life]

Longer bed option please.

[@MckinleyDjents]

Yes! I have a 23' Maverick but wanted to see more of the new Ranger for an upgrade.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I do love this new truck’s design and I would definitely own one of them! It’s beautiful, in my opinion. Ford knows how to build great trucks except when they push their new engines too hard.

[@chiefman8316]

Blame Washington D.C. Dems forcing these engines on us, not Ford, Gov wants us to drive E/V

[@tomearly111]

I like many of the upgrades however just like GMC and Chevy Ford is not offering a long bed option on the Ranger. When I bought my Colorado that was checked off as the first prerequisite of my midsize truck purchase. Looks like I'm going to have to keep my truck in great condition if I want to keep that option. It looks like even Toyota is only offering the 6' bed in the extra cab now as well. All us crew cab long bed lovers only choice now is the Nissan Frontier.

[@lukegarrett6638]

Out going rangers front end looks 100x better than the new, I’d buy a new arb bumper as soon as I could if I bought one

[@daveloderhose874]

I’m 6’ 3” also question is do you fit comfortably?

[@Gerry-K]

No extended cab....No Sales! I wish manufactures would stop shoving crew cabs down buyers throats!

[@TCcustoms_]

The reason ford cancelled the extended cab is because statistically speaking, nobody bought them.

[@slmjake]

Why no 6 foot bed? This is an expensive toy, or i guess you call it a lifestyle truck.

[@Show-me-how-now]

The biggest deal breaker with the Ranger is the lack of rear vents. I wpn't buy it for this very reason. Ford made a big mistake trying to save $200.

[@onefastr6]

Only 1 mid size has rear vents so enjoy that Chevy. 🤷‍♂️

[@timraber6575]

I purchased the GMC Canyon 4 door over six years ago before the Ranger came out. I like my truck due to the longer bed to help me in my small yard mowing business. I have been watching that same style in the Ranger line, but now they will cut that model out!!!!!????? This problem is why I have been forced out of the new truck market many years ago. Prices too high and they don’t make the model I could afford. It’s not just a Ford problem.

[@broeheemed32]

Released as a "compact" truck, they're already getting longer, wider, taller. I expect in a couple more years, they'll be as big as a 2012 F-150, and that mandatory 10-speed transmission will be a 20-speed. Or a CVT.

[@danhealey5417]

my co-worker has a 23 ranger and it has more time in the shop getting repaired and on the road and no way in heck would i ever buy one

[@DarkRelms1]

i had a 19 ranger and loved it the only problem was the fuel economy was crap. the 2.3 was not enough motor for the weight of the vehicle to get good fuel milage.

[@corbman9049]

Bummed out they got rid of the extended cab and option with 6ft bed. Toyota and Gm offer in both cab configurations.

[@ofmyownaccord]

GM doesn't offer an extended cab in the Gen 3. Every Colorado is a crew cab short bed.

Glad I bought a proven durable truck like the Tacoma in 2014. I have feeling I will need another 10 years out of it.

[@joeg9810]

Great review. They did some nice upgrades. I am sure the price went up too!

[@TheQuixotic1]

Ford seemingly took 2 steps forward with the look of the Ranger (both inside and out), but also to 3 steps back with features and affordability. The Lariat is missing TONS of features that are found across its competition: no rear HVAC vents, no moon roof, no HUD, no ventilated seats, no hybrid option. All of that missing for a 15%+ increase in price from last year!

[@Show-me-how-now]

The fact that the Ranger doesn’t have rear vents, in 2024, is complete lunacy! I’m a Ford guy and I would buy the Chevy, GM or Toyota over this thing just because of that reason.

[@phillipcraggs6202]

That looks much better than the outgoing version. Although I wish there was a king cab option. I hate large emblems, I know why they do it. But it still looks gaudy.

[@mikeweber3441]

Disagree hard on this. Based on just looks alone, the GMC Canyon takes the cake on midsized trucks.

Speed limiter thats a killer right there. Big Brother showing their domination.

I see you parked two Ford Rangers in two disabled parking spots. We consumers pay attention to details. Right up to the grease spot on your shirt. As for the price? In 2017, I could purchase a mid optioned 4door 4×4 F150 for 47k Too expensive

[@onefastr6]

Canyon, Colorado, Tacoma and even the Frontier all look better. 🤷‍♂️
