I love it and I now own it... took delivery in March in the Hot pepper Red no less. I couldnt be happier ! I went with the FX4 package. Rides like a Dream and with the added 2" all the way around its as sturdy as they come. Thank you Lauren for reviewing this Truck !

You jumped from the XLT Exterior to the Lariot interior. That cluster is Lariat only, as is the leather, and for some reasom the upper glove box is Lariat and Raptor only. I think you need to be Model specific thougout the entire review, as there is quite a bit of variation between models.

Excellent review. I’ve watched a dozen reviews on this truck. I’m sold on 2024 Ranger, it beats the Tacoma in several ways. As soon as the 2.7 is available, I’ll be buying the Lariat.

@chrisfrank8413 3 ай бұрын

Ah, big money! I agree, the Tacoma looks and feels cheap and plasticy to a fault. Ranger is a real truck. Steel bed, good interior, way better than the Tacoma. I checked out an XL the other day, was impressed with the stance, this is 100% Truck! But for reliability, I'd stick with the 2.3. The TTV6 has some weird problems. You can get a Ford Racing tune for the 2.3 that puts you near the V6, but not sure what that would do to the reliabilty of it.

@GPCCPA 3 ай бұрын

@@chrisfrank8413 I believe the problems with the 2.7 TT was with the 1st Generation (2015-17). The 2nd Generation added Port Injection to reduce the carbon buildup; redesigned the Cam Phasers; and redesigned the Oil Pan which was plagued with leaking. The old Oil Pan used sealant which failed due to heat buildup. The new Oil Pan has a built-in gasket which seems to have solved the problem. The only other problem that I could find was with the plugs and coils which require more frequent maintenance, due to stress caused by the twin turbos. So, I feel pretty confident that the 2nd generation 2.7 TT will be a fairly reliable engine.

@jimmyrichards5595 3 ай бұрын

Not sure I understand your comment. I don’t get it. Because as she said, this(Ranger) comes in 4WD or 2WD. I feel pretty safe saying that you don’t get the 2WD version for off-road, because it’s not made for off-road. So… I really don’t know why you’d need to import anything from down under!

@Aaron_Voltz 3 ай бұрын

Don't have to import from Aussieland. Try Mexico for the Maverick. I'm really liking my 22' Maverick Lariat AWD without the FX4. There's compressed fabric shielding on the bottom between the wheels I'm guessing to reduce or eliminate stone chips in the under-body paint to reduce rusting. I doubt they offer much for aerodynamics. Anyway, the Maverick is very much not an off roader.

@alext8828 3 ай бұрын

@@jimmyrichards5595 Yeah, I just would like a smaller truck than the ones they're marketing now is all. Down under they used to have a truck very similar to a Ford Ranchero or a Chevy something or other.(I forgot what they were called, El Camino) In Aussieland it was called a UTE and it had a real name. I'll look it up. Hold on a sec. Yeah, it was called the Holden, UTE. Now, I might go for an older Ford Ranger, but a friend has a Ram and it's too big for me. I had an Isuzu and a Dodge. Both were much smaller is all.

Nice looking. Needs a two-door version with a 6' bed, while still keeping 4x4 (for those muddy/sandy jobs). Delete option for that stop/start crap. Add a manual tranny. So basically an Asian-spec Hilux, DMax, etc. Not really a fan of the EcoBoost longevity either. Keep it simple. Pricing should start in the 20s not the 30s. But Ford, like everyone else, would rather sell fewer units for a high profit margin. Except, if people aren't buying cuz their too expensive, there is no profit margin😊

@@jayson657why? Ford with warranty out to 150k miles is the same price as a taco. Rather do that on a proven 2.3 than an unproven taco with 48% new parts in the power train. Turbo trucks will all need to be fixed at some point and with inflation having that extended warranty finally makes sense. Repairs have already skyrocketed just look at your insurance bill. But you keep fanboying

Nice review. Functional truck. Front end update is a bit pedestrian. Lots to like, but some oversights (no rear AC vents, no 60/40 split 2nd row seat, no push button start in the XLT, etc.). 1800 lbs of max payload that one will never see on an actual truck on a dealership lot. What is the real world payload of this truck?
