New Ford Ranger mega thread

I hope it works for Ford, but I am not in the market for a new truck - love my Taco

 

I would consider a Ranger Raptor with a Twin Turbo V6. Of coarse that wouldn't happen.

 

ehhhh still like the taco looks better

 

Why did the other thread started this morning on this subject get nuked?

 

I think they look pretty bad ass. Cant wait to see one with a lift.

 

Honestly, I’m surprised Ford didn’t offer a long bed with their full cab.

 

The Ranger will be available with two cab configurations, SuperCab and SuperCrew, and with three trim levels, XL, XLT, and Lariat. Stepping up to SuperCrew for the XL costs $2200, while it's $2175 more for both the XLT and top-level Lariat. Four-wheel drive is a $4000 option for XLT and Lariat, and a $4160 option for XL.

A Ford spokesperson provided us with a breakdown of base prices for each Ranger model, including a $1095 destination and delivery fee:

4x2 SuperCab

• XL with 6’ Box: $25,395
• XLT with 6’ Box: $29,035
• Lariat with 6’ Box: $33,305

4x4 SuperCab

• XL with 6’ Box: $29,555
• XLT with 6’ Box: $33,035
• Lariat with 6’ Box: $37,305

4x2 SuperCrew

• XL with 5’ Box: $27,615
• XLT with 5’ Box: $31,210
• Lariat with 5’ Box: $35,480

4x4 SuperCrew

• XL with 5’ Box: $31,775
• XLT with 5’ Box: $35,210
• Lariat with 5’ Box: $39,480

I know it would be different, my point is look at what happened from the 2nd gen Tacoma to the 3rd as far as the transmission goes. I doubt it would shift any different if they went to an 8 speed simply because it is all a push for better gas mileage.

Edit: I'm most interested in the power numbers, if it is anything like the one in the Explorer, MKC, or Mustang then that will be pretty exciting. Other than that I don't love the looks.

 

Why not compare to a trd or though since it has a locker? Why not start with a base ranger that competes with the Sr and compare those?

 

It's still a part in a Ford vehicle (this will be abundantly clear if you ever buy the pretensioner from the dealer, with 300% Ford markup...). It's a lapse in Ford's quality control system and supplier oversight. No automaker manufactures everything in-house.

 

I started with an XL Ranger and applied the options that were desirable to me, just like I did with the Tacoma.

The end result for the Tacoma was the XL 4x4's starting point.

Like I said, this was not a 1 for 1 comparison. I am not knocking a better equipped truck for being more expensive. I was simply looking to see what value the STX FX4 might provide. Hoping that it could offer TRD O/R capability at a lower price and it didnt.

I am simply comparing the Ranger I was interested in to the Tacoma I was interested in. I knew they would not be comparable in price and equipment. I simply wanted to compare how different the price would be.

I am not an automotive magazine, ranking or complaining here.

 

With Ecoboost, and a transmission that doesn't make me want to kill myself!! Definitely going to look into it.

 

I have company trucks that get swapped every year. Had an 8 speed auto in the ram 1500 and hated it. Got this f150 with a 10 speed and was thinking it would be even worse. Turns out it's awesome. Don't knock it until you've tried driving one

 

So the dozen manufacturers that used Takata air bags all agreed to say fuck it they are good enough?

 

^Yep. You can bet all the automakers either OK'd Takata's use of the ammonium nitrate propellant composition when the cars were designed, or didn't know any better themselves.

 

Lariat and above is for the boss. Real workers buy XLT 302A. I see they even have that as the top package exactly like on an F150 lol.

Just bugging you of course.

 

True story, GM liked the 10 speed Ford transmission they negotiated a deal to use it with their new boosted 2.7 L that’s going in their half tons. That’s the short of it anyways, the design work was actually a joint project between a bunch of manufacturers.
