MERICA. Land of trucks.

We have these evvvvverywhere in aus, including the ranger-raptor

I like the Ranger. Not everyone needs or wants a full sized truck, so there's room for this truck. The one problem is not everyone that would buy this truck wants to give up ventilated seats and moonroof and power tilt/teli wheel etc. They really need to add a Limited version.

Bought a new ranger XLT crew cab with fx4 package. Went cross country and back with my family, went off roading with my cousin and his new Tacoma, and went off roading with all my friends to the creek to swim. The truck is amazing. Haters keep hating but I love it.

Leaf springs are for towing 7500lbs. When you use struts you end up like the dodge 1500's.... squat city.

ThatDudeinBlue should get the Ranger and give it a nice blue wrap so that it’s ThatTruckinBlue

Finally someone who seems happy about the Ranger. I love the sound of the Ecoboost accelerating on the Ranger, It sounds awesome.

If I spend 40k on a truck, it better have rear leaf spring suspension. It’s a truck!

Designed in Australia. Rest of the world has had these for years since 2012 . But not with the 2.3 eco boost . Rest of the world has had 2.2tdci and the 3.2tdci 5cylinder . Drive like a car, steering is nice and sharp. They are great pick up trucks 👌

I don’t care for the front end but everything else is satisfying👍🏼

I love when you do car reviews. Very interesting and entertaining videos man.

Excellent review! I have the Australian Ranger Wildtrak and it's absolutely awesome.

Just drove one as a dealer loaner, loved the truck not the price. 4x4 lariat crew cab. $41,800 and it didn't have all the options

The old Ford Ranger, they were simple to work on , good gas mileage, cost was good, and last a long time.

Been subscribed for years and this is like the first time I got a notification! Last time I was this early... oh wait I never was this early.

I just bought mine 2 weeks ago and I love it! (Traded in my 98 Ford Ranger.) Your review is spot on; I agree 100%. And it's also the perfect chick truck for me and my daughter. Love your reviews!

Bought a Ranger XLT Sport last week, I agree with what you said about the speed and power of the truck, very surprised and happy with the performance. Pulled my 23-foot boat out of the water with ease, fuel economy is great also, I have no regrets!

Excellent review. Of course, I watched this AFTER I purchased my 2020 Ranger. I've had it for 2 weeks now, and I love it. I thought my '04 Ranger was great, but a year ago someone decided to run a red light and total it for me. I was leary about the i4 in the new Rangers, in all honesty. However, I am HIGHLY impressed with the results. I think Ford knocked it out if the park this time!

I absolutely love my new Ranger. I drove a Explorer Sport Trac and went to a Jeep since they continued it in 2011. So glad to be back in the truck family. I love the 4 door mid-size trucks.

Just too much money for a midsize truck..... needs a cheaper version for the cheapskates like me. I don't need auto start stop, I just want a reliable truck

Love the new Ranger; test drove last weekend - far better than expected. The 4-cylinder Ecoboost is a beast. I have a Ford F-150 now, but looking to downsize.

Love my new Ranger.

I absolutely LOVE my Ranger. I had a 1990 Ford Ranger back in the day. This truck is a winner

I'm in Canada. I have 20,000 km on an FX4 Lariat. Love the truck. Faster than any other mid size pick-up and just as off-road capable as the benchmark Taco. The FX4 has crawl control and a locking rear diff. with a multi terrain management system. Highest towing capacity too. If you throw on a 5 Star tuner, they are faster 0-60 than a stock Raptor.

David, this isn’t a new platform. It’s new to the US but this exact truck has been overseas for years.

Bought mine in that exact color and spec but with fx4 out the door for $33.5k having put 6816 miles on it in the last month I’ve got some pros and cons. Pros: good pickup and go, phenomenal off-roading, comfortable interior, pretty good gas mileage, beautiful taillights. Cons- I would spring for the leather if you plan on doing 3+ hours of driving. I have the premium seats and it gets uncomfortable after 3.5 hours driving. I don’t understand the 4 cylinder hate the v6 in the Tacoma straight up blowssss it’s under powered with no enjoyable driving experience. If you want a truck and used to cars this is the perfect vehicle. I went into this from an excursion and am still very happy with it. Overall I’d say with a redesign this truck could be a king in the world of midsize trucks. Overall 9.2/10

Love the Truck, I just bought one and am very happy with it. By the Way great video, thanks.

I got an STX back in May and I love it. It's done a great job towing for me

I'd like to see a review on the Ranger 2-years later!

I had one back in February A 2 door ranger(2019-20) And that thing went fast like it really did accelerate really nicely You can even hear the small turbos, when doing a right turn, put that thing in rear wheel drive and it rips, its amazing!

ThatDudeinBlue, David, I completely agree with you. Like you I currently own a 2013 Mustang GT CA Special which I dearly love but I am moving to another state and starting a new biz and the Ranger is perfect for my needs. It is fast/quick, lots of tech, is very good looking IMO, is extremely comfortable to drive and can haul/tow a pretty heavy load if needed. I test drove all the rest. Did tons of research and decided on a silver Lariat supercab 2wd with 500a, nav package and tow package. You can't find one of these built like this anywhere. I was forced to order it. Ordered mine from the factory and with rebates, xplan and dealer incentives I'm looking at a tad over 32K tax and licence out the door. I'm super excited waiting for it to arrive but at the same time I am going to dearly miss my GT. BTW I love all your reviews. Keep up the good work!!!

Finally a cool ass down to earth dude reviewing vehicles! #Subbed!

I am a contractor and rented a 2019 Ford Ranger. I drive it in the city. I average between 16.8 to 18.2 miles per gal. I found it too big of a truck for what I envisioned with the Ranger name.

I just purchased this exact same truck. This Ranger is underestimated. Price tag is high, but you know WHY when you drive it for awhile. The steering is amazing, and feels strong with its features making it a super safe drive. It is a bit of an anomaly for a smaller truck. I have driven Rangers my whole life. At first, I just wanted a plain truck. Glad this truck made me go into the contemporary truck age.

Glad they brought it back. Out of all the 1/4 trucks Ranger doesn't feel cramped like the Tacoma and Colorado. More variety of products to choose from, more options for the consumer to get a truck that will fit their needs.

Bought me a 2020 Lariat FX4. Absolutely love it!

It was made because the full sized trucks have priced themselves out of the larger market 100 k for a truck is madness

Love the video and the quality was 11/10 My friends dad just bought a new engine for me and my friend and we just put it in a 1998 Ford Ranger.

I have a 2009 Ford Ranger standard and I pulled a f-250 20mikes up and down hills Ford will ALWAYS be my go to truck

I used to see these all over the place while I lived in South Africa in 2014-2015. Kinda cool they just brought it over here.

It’s priced too high. All the folks that love rangers bought them back in the day when they were 20-26k new. They went to take a look at the new ones and got sticker shock. I think those owners will keep their old ones.

The new Ranger is not a new platform. It Ford's global T6 Ranger platform, introduced in 2011.

I LOVE IT !!!! Just bought one and it is the bomb !!!

Love this truck. Thanks for your review. I went and bought the lariat chilli pepper red. Can’t wait to pick it up. Looked at the F-150 due to getting. 2 atv and pulling them. Saved some mone as the ranger will pull them. Just like you, I was surprised how fast it is. Nice response. Again thanks for your review.

thanks for letting me know how to start a car with a key

I love mine 👍🏼 traded my F150 for one and I'd never go back. Love the power and 28 mpg highway is great

The new ranger looks cools. I admire the re-design of it. A little bigger and more versatile 🔝

I've got one and love it!

I've got an XLT with a turbosmart dual-port BOV and it sounds REEEAAAAAL Nice

Wepppaaaaa i love how they are bringing back trucks, i have to test drive this. also man My dream is for you to review my evo

David thanks for the Ranger review. As others have stated previous, this is a updated 5 year old design. The Ranger has many compromises because of the F-150 which is not sold in other countries. The US will not add things that cut into the F-150 sales. No diesel engine, no Raptor for now, no Wildtrax V6, which is available in other countries. The Ranger is always going to be Ford's entry level truck in the USA with cosmetic upgrades.

had an 07 Focus hatch with bolt on mods. After that was totaled on the highway I found myself in a 2018 Focus sedan 5 speed and it was insane to see the difference Ford has made over the years.

The ranger with the 3.0 5 cylinder diesel out sells the Hilux in Australia, for the first time in history last year. It's a brilliant bit of kit.

I hope we get the Ranger Raptor in the States The twin turbo diesel 4-cylinder is really cool

Nice review!

I've had my '19 Ranger XLT Supercab 4wd with 302A package for 6 months now. It's my 4th Ford truck. The other three were F150s. Traded in a 2013 F150 STX for this. That truck had the V8 engine but this Ranger is quicker and more responsive. The Ranger is by far my favorite of them all. There's nothing I dislike about it. Just did a 390 mile round trip with it mostly on two lane countryt roads and did over 26 mpg with it. It's really comfortable , handles well, rides solid and quite and has a ton of convenient features. I also don't have to circle parking lots looking for a wide enough space to fit in any more. Think of everything I've owned through the years this is my favorite, and I'm 71.

It’s so weird seeing him drive by places that are all around me, he passed my house and my grandma’s😂

WRONG! Ford Ranger was discontinued in America ONLY in 2011. It was still made in other countries until 2019.

I bought a new one in 2007. Drove it till 2016. Manual transmission. Great little truck.

I like the new ranger. Had one as a loaner while my truck was at the dealer. Put it in manual mode and let it rev out, it really moves out surprisingly quick.

A few years back I was able to check out a Mexican market 2017 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a manual. I was sold, it was the smaller more basic new truck I was looking for. Then ford announced the only engine would be the 2.3 which I didn’t mind but then they said only will come with a 10 speed auto and that’s when I started losing interest. Now I’m waiting to see what they do with the Bronco

I agree with everything you say, I just bought one. This truck is awesome to drive!

Just bought one. Very impressed. About 10 thousand cheaper than a similar equipped full size. Very quite and comfortable. I bought the xlt 4x4 ,chilly pepper red ,locking rear end,sync 3, towing package, and optional wheels and tires package. Msrp 37,000.00. They knocked 3500 off the msrp.

Excellent Review. I have worked at the same Ford Dealership for years and have always been provided a company truck. They just took me out of a 2016 F-150 2.7 , Which I bought for the wife to drive, And put me in a 2020 Ranger. Other than the stiff ride, I have no complaints. It is a little torque monster.

2011 was discontinued in the United States. It continued in other countries, mostly South American, it morphed into the new one.

Still rocking my 92 Ford Ranger with the 3L.

It's so cute. But the floppy key thingy makes up for it. Awwwwww

Definitely planned on getting one eventually.

They should have made a cheap 15 to 20 thousand dollar truck with a stick. At this point you might as well just get an f150

Saw one up close at Costco ...looks like a shrunken f150

A good review, Thanx!

I like your video. I’m hard of hearing, but your voice is loud and clear. I could even turn my phone down a little. That’s unheard of 😊 Nice truck too...

I love it but I'm going to stick to my 96 ranger sport

I love how ford has just decided to take models they have sold for YEARS overseas and then bring them to America and be like “Hey here’s a brand new car”.

I like the size, mileage and off-road features.

Love the new ranger. We just now need the ranger raptor as well

I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat and I am using it to pull a 25' RV trailer (about 5,500lb towing weight normally) and it is pulling it beautifully at about 10mpg average. The Ranger is perhaps about the only mid-size classed truck that could pull such an RV trailer, and it does it pretty well.

Love my new '19 black on black Ranger XLT crew FX4. #Ecoboost

I have a new 2020 Ranger and simply love it. I have always bought F-150’s but I sure do like this vehicle.

Nice 👍🏽 I’d like to have one of these

"I'm looking forward to IF they bring the Bronco back." Me, an intellectual: Does he really not know???

@ThatDudeinBlue you do know this model ranger Ute has been around since 2014 with minor facelifts. In NZ and Australia with a 3.2 5 cylinder Diesel engine and now a 2 litre twin turbo diesel engjne

I loved it. I test drove it and I can tell you it will most likely be the replacement for my beloved Liberty CRD when it's time. I'm banking my down payment money for it.

got a lightning blue xlt fx4 and love it. much better than the previous gen .

I love the new ranger but I just can't afford it..

Reason why theres leaf springs in back so you can hold big loads in the back. Think man

People outside the USA will know we've had this and so many other previous models cause they never stopped making them for us.

I own a 2000 ranger 4x4 an love it but id really like a newer full-size!!! Hope you enjoy your nice vehicle!!

Needs the 2.7 Ecoboost engine.

Fuel Milage: same as the F-150 with a 5.0. Interior: Same as every single new ford. Remote start: Standard on all mid tier fords. This is just a smaller F-150 with a mustang motor.

Love my 2021 Ranger, the 2.3 turbo is all the power i need. I put MBPR catback exhaust and a blowoff valve and truck sounds great. The manual heater controls are great since I can't stand touch screens. Love everything about the Ranger.

I think its awesome that they brought the ranger back

I’ll say it. Too big. It’s the size of the old 150. I want a real small truck.

Had a ‘96 Ranger extended cab with the 4.0 V6 as my first vehicle in high school. Biggest pos i ever owned. Blew the head gasket lol

Just bought a 2020 after a test drive I was looking for a full size but changed my mind owned full sized trucks for years wanted something different and didn’t need mine to do all whole lot other than haul a small fishing boat or bikes and stuff like that. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy another midsize but just like the look and feel of this.

Remote start, oil life indicator and leaf springs?! InNoVaTiOn!!

All modern trucks with the exception of Ford & Ram heavy duty trucks and Ram 1500s have IFS and leaf springs.

The next refresh hopefully has a 2.7 Ecoboost option as well as standard cab

At Ford, quality, is job one! I like the new Ranger truck, it would definetly be on my list for a truck. If I had a new Ranger sitting on one half of the garage, and a 2020 C8 Corvette sitting on the other half, ahhh man, too sick dude!

I will get one I am pretty sure that is going to be my first truck ✌🏽
