New Ford Ranger mega thread

It’s still a Ford...

 

With a 10 speed tranny. You’d think Toyota would of atleast went with their 8 speed in these. Probably would have half the complaints about the hunting gears

 

It looks like a Ford ridgeline. One ugly truck

 

Funny you say that, i was reading a review of the Colorado a few days ago, which has an 8 speed, and one of the complaints was it was constantly shifting and hunting for gears.

 

1. GM
2. People will always find a way to bitch about something. Especially in 2018

 

#2 is 70% of this forum. Then 25% is “will it rub/fit” or “what lift” and then 5% is useful stuff to converse about. Or maybe 80,29,1. Who knows.

 

Can't exactly say "ya but that's a GM" when Toyota didn't do any better with their transmission. I don't mind how this transmission works most of the time but I also don't think if Toyota put in an 8 speed it would be any different.

 

One drivetrain choice, and it's a turbo 4? No M/T?

No thanks.

 

Well from a technical standpoint, it would be different. Not only the transmission, but the programming for the ECU too. I think eventually Tacoma buyer will find out. Hard to see them keeping the 6 speed with everyone else bumping up to 8 and 10 in the same segment. However it is Toyota we are talking about so it’s probably more likely they don’t change anything. With that being said their 4th gen will probably have an 8 speed. By then everyone else will probably be using a 12 speed

 

Not bad looking

 

Pricing equivalent to Tacoma without any of the aftermarket support yet. We'll see what the discounts pile up as later.

 

Hey does that there ford come with the rear drums like the turd gen?

 

Never buying one.

Well first of all the truck is ugly AF. Secondly they have no double cab 6 foot bed option. Automatic no.

I am NOT spending $38K on a pretend truck (I won't buy under a Lariat model). That's why I opted out of the Turd Gen.

 

I don’t how Chevy and Ford basically used their overseas styling. I don’t wanna see Nivaras, Holdens and the like cruisin around our streets. Hopefully Nissan will create a North American version should they decide to refresh the Frontier.

 

Nissan needs to stop making cars... not do refreshes or redesigns lol.

 

I like it!

 

Looks super cool and capable.
Way better than a Tacoma.
Everyone buy this. Stop buying Tacomas.
Los Angeles also sucks don’t come here.

 

I think it looks ok, will have to see it in person though.

$28,400 for what I have in a Tacoma now. That looks like a pretty sweet deal to me. I paid just a bit less than that for the Taco and it was 2 years old at the time.
