Is the NEW Ford Ranger XLT The BEST Midsize Truck? | Full Review + 0-60

This is a good looking truck……I would buy it if I were in the market (coming from a Toyota fan)

You are wrong at one point. You can sync the AC. If you go to the AC screen hit the dual button

Still think RAM needs to bring back the Dakota with 2 engine options 2.0 that is on the jeep and the 3L in the RT version

I have the same exact truck with the lower technology package i like the truck but i dont love the truck I didn’t get the option for the 2.7 Ford shouldn’t of released this truck without that engine option

There’s already plenty of gen 2 2.7L’s with over 200K and even one with 540K. None have needed to replace the welt belt. Might not be as big of an issue as you might think.

How tall is Brian?

Stop playing games Ford and send us those rear climate vents from Australia!

The Tacoma is 317 lb ft of torque which is 17 more than the Ranger. It also reaches peak torque at 1700 rpm. That bed needs a spray in bed liner. Not opting for the 2.7 eco boost doesn’t make sense! This is the biggest advantage the Ranger has over the competition. It’s a very good engine! Where’s the trailer brake controller. All tow packages should include this!

Waiting for 2.7 ! Lariat!
But duramax Sierra is on my list!

My work ranger has the radar (think that's what is) for the adaptive cruise under where the number plate is. Where is it on this thing?

The 2024 Ranger like its predecessor has Amber Turn Lamps on the tail lights and IT’s the only midsize truck to have them ….sadly NOT ONE review yet has noted this and it’s a important safety feature….hopefully rear AC vents may come in the future like the overseas Rangers

Can’t wait to see a 2.7 road test…..

Loved your beginning voiceover. Very good. Very professional!

So here’s everything you are questioning that they left out.
There are rear seat AC vents. They are under the back seats.
There are three tow packages. Basic, just receiver and 4 and 7 pin connectors for $400. Advanced, for $800 includes brake control and backup assist. Advanced with technology which you can program different trailers and trailer blind spot and 360 for $2300.

The FX4 decal actually adds about 20hp and although you don't notice it, as soon as the tires hit dirt your truck raises 2". Lol. I'm honestly anxious to see the new tremor. I'm still getting a RR though as soon as i find work.

Great review guys ! I have the exact same truck only in Hot pepper Red... My Only complaint as of yet is the sometimes sluggish start up of the infotainment screen. That can be annoying. I have re booted it and re loaded it but in a few weeks its back to stumbling here and there. From what I read, thats a bit of a common issue with these Fords.

I’m interested in this truck in black with black appearance package, 4A advanced four wheel drive and a 2.7 twin turbo V-6. My Maverick does a 0 to 60 in 6 seconds; 2.0 Ecoboost with 250 HP and 277 FPT

Test drove this vehicle yesterday with my wife, along with the new TRD off-road and the Frontier. I'm a huge Toyota fanboy, and currently drive a 2017 Ridgeline. Wife and I both picked the XLT as my next vehicle. Can't wait for the 2.7! I'm 6'1", and I get sit behind myself with knee room to spare.

I’m NOT paying 50k for a truck without push button start. That’s ridiculous

Hola,muy buenos los videos, aquí en Argentina se fabrica la Ranger, pero los motores son diesel, cuatro cilindros 2.0 y V6 3.0 con la transmisión de 10 velocidades

44k for an XLT mid size… lmfao

I just got my order confirmation today for my 2.7 XLT Ranger. I can’t wait .

I’ve owned my 2024 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 for about a month now. Had the opportunity to take it out into the Florida woods on Independence Day. It handled the frequent ‘sippy holes’ like a Champ thanks to the rear locker in 4X Low. Love it!

Thanks!

HATE the beige headliner 😂

Tail gate cables are red for visual reasons.

I believe the torque rating is 310!!!!
Nothing worse then trying to learn about a new design and technology when you don’t state proper numbers

Those giant screens and digital gauge clusters need to go. theres been better aftermarket solutions for the multimedia for over a decade. No display off button without going to settings>display> off, add in the lack of buttons for the heated seats and controls.. now you have the same issue as you do when we switched from phones with buttons to phones with screens, youre hunting for controls vs using muscle memory. also the extra illumination from the digital gauge clusters as night in outside of cities is awful. Can definitely tell the engineers and design teams working on all these new trucks have never lived outside the burbs.

I'd be willing to bet the Tacoma is 1000 lbs heavier.

Could you do a comparison video between this and the Colorado/Canyon?

I love the width of the Ranger. Me at 6 feet I would like to sit in back of myself with at least one or 2 inches to spare in the backseat, which I cannot do. I would even sacrifice a few inches in the truck bed to a few inches stretched in the backseat.

definitely needs the 2.7L engine

How come nobody's talking about the horrible instrument cluster?
It looks like a Phone app.

The gauge cluster is a total joke! It looks like a Phone app! The XLT should have the same gauge cluster as Lariat.

Considering midsized are trucks that are the most affordable to the average American. Why not make the back seat leg room a few inches larger.

Make a cheap manual single cab.

I wish the raptor had the sunroof and I wish the lariat 2.7l had a full time 4wd.

A lot of these folks in here remind me of liberals. They just keep repeating what they hear no matter how bad the information is or how incorrect it is. Everybody keeps talking about how reliable the Nissan and Toyota are. Meanwhile Nissan builds the most unreliable cars on the market and this is nothing new for them, fact. And secondly Toyota's having trouble with engines and transmissions in both their trucks and also has not been anywhere near the top of the list for many many years now. Know who had the most reliable truck yet again last year, Ram and General motors. You're welcome. You can look it up, it's easy to find.

I can't decide between the xlt fx4 or the xlt sport appearance package

Bummer you didnt get the 2.7 v6 eco boost 🤦🏼‍♂️

Why is the 2024 ford ranger not rated on the window sticker

As usual, good review! I'm looking at both the 2024 Ranger XLT (like yours) or a used 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. I've driven both and they are both solid rigs. Based on your more extensive drives, do you have a preference?
