Ranger Base Camp
I was able to get the opportunity to go to the 2019 Ranger Base Camp and was able to truly experience what Ford is trying to accomplish. They told us that this is going to be a much different truck than the F-150. While the F-150 & SuperDuty's are meant for towing and working, the Ranger is after adventure. It has better ground clearance than the Tacoma or Colorado. All three of these vehicle were designed to go off road, allowing you to get to the ATV/Fishing spots that you wouldn't normally being able to get to, while at the same time allowing the opportunity to tow. However towing is not its primary motive. Towing was put into thought, but again that is what the F-150/SuperDuty's are more designed for. What makes the Ranger a better choice than the Tacoma and Colorado? Under the Tacoma the exhaust is positioned right under the under carriage allowing any rocks or debree to actually take out your exhaust... The Rangers exhaust is in a safe location not in harms way. The Colorado has a Skid Plate that is only bolted onto one side allowing for you to peel it open like a tuna can if you get stuck on a rock and need to go into reverse. The Ranger Has Actual Skid Plates protecting the Engine and under carriage. Everything completely bolted down and not in harms way. The Trail Control on the Rangers is also 10x's better than the Tacoma's Crawl Control. The trail control actually feels like the truck is understanding and working the terrain while the Crawl Control is just pumping the brakes and gas. Ford also has tons of tech that they incorporating and are leading in. Very soon you will be able to control any Ford Vehicle with a Modem to track, lock & remote start any where in the world right from your apple watch. The only Con that I was able to find was that they should have made a front/360 camera available for off roading like they do in the Raptors, Explorers, F-150's etc. Very Excited to see these hit the roads and have the opportunity selling them. [non-permissible content removed]. Hope this help! Again, not primarily a towing vehicle but adventure ready is the idea.

I love my Ranger!
The Ford Ranger has always been a super awesome smaller sized "pick up" truck. I had a 2002 Edge for nearly 15 years and I was so excited to hear they are finally available again. This '19 Ranger STX puts my '02 to shame (though I would accept her back any day and regret giving her up). Okay, enough reminiscing. The size of the backseat is perfect and so much more useable that the Supercabs pop seats. The power is much better, especially for a 4 cylinder engine. It is towing ready and still with a full sized spare. Overall I am super impressed and excited.... only 300 miles in, I look forward to many years of happy driving.

Good Truck Cheap Poor Accessories
I have owned this truck for 11months now. Feel I can give it a proper review. Power train I give it a 5/5. The 4 cylinder eco boost mated to the 10 speed transmission is wounderful. Plenty of power, speed, and towing in a small package. It as well has plenty of get up and go when merging on to the interstate. It also does real good on rural dirt and gravel roads. Where mine spends most of it's time. Now for the negatives accessories and features 1/5. In the time I have had this truck. I had have issues with the safety features that set my truck into limp mode. Took two trips to the dealership to fix it. Had issues with front radar picking up ghost and truck goes nuts and beeps out of no where. The radios volume knob broke and will not work after 6 months very cheap. After 11 months the vent actuator broke so my AC and heat will run at same time. There are some other minor issues I have had but not worth listing. So from what I experienced all time and money was spent on the power train and the mechanics of the truck. They made the interior and accessories as cheap as possible. Would expect more from a $30,000 truck.

jerky shifting
Ive got 15,000 miles on my Ranger, Fit and finish is great, nice safety features great styling and layout. Gas mileage has rarely been more then 25 mpg, all the power you could ask for but the transmission is very jerky and the ride leaves a bit to be desired. Had I spent more time test driving it I probably would not have bought it. The transmission shifting is VERY annoying!!!

Ranger Redux
Nice mid-sized pickup, very good handling & excellent acceleration, kind of lousy mileage so far, only 17MPG but in fairness, initial trip was towing a small trailer. Have owned it since December, great towing capability. Kind of cheap interior, tiny video screen, won't connect to FordPass no matter how many times I try. Very roomy however, family over 6' tall fit in back seat very comfortably. Easier to park & drive than a full-sized pickup, but bed is obviously smaller and won't handle as much cargo. Overall good, solid option in a pickup.
