Happy so far
Had a 2017 Tacoma TRD-Offroad but the wonky shifting for the 18 months I had it drove me nuts. Test drove the 2019 Ford Ranger at the auto-show in San Antonio and loved the drivability especially the 10-speed transmission. Ford did their homework on the 10-speed. I ended up ordering one In February and received it in March. Have nearly 1000 miles on the Ranger now and gas mileage started at 20mpg and my latest (3rd tank of gas) is showing 23mpg around town. Not done any long road trips yet but am happy with how the Ranger drives on the hightway. Not taking away from the Tacoma as it was a sold truck but with the weird shifting with their new 6-speed just was not fun on the highway. Main issue driving the Tacoma is it would not stay in overdrive on the highwa, downshifting for minor overpasses, etc which resulted in worse mpg than in town. The new Ranger does not have this problem. Much smoother and more enjoyable to drive on the highway. Shifts are smooth. Fairly quiet ride for a truck and when you need "go power" their is plenty at your disposal .

Ranger XLT Blows the Doors off the Competition
I picked up a 2019 4x4 XLT with Sport and Off road package plus technology group in November of 2019. I watched the Edmunds review which seems to highlight road vibration. Mine has no road vibration and my passengers have commented how smooth the ride is. My price was under $35K with this vehicle packed with technology. First off, I'm 6'5" and amazed that I have ample headroom and legroom in this vehicle. Visibility is much better than the Ridgeline, in fact I sat in the Ridgeline one more time before I pulled the trigger on the Ranger. The Edmunds review preferred the Toyota, but being tall I can't sit on the floor which is what I find most uncomfortable about the Toyota. The Edmunds off road test failed to utilize trail control and the locking rear diff, which if you got um you should use them. They also found it frustrating that the ford when out of 4x4 Low when they came down the hill at too fast a rate. All which would have been handled successfully by Trail Control. My XLT has too many features to mention. In the end I looked for every reason not to buy a Ford, but I'm a logical person and it made good sense. Extremely happy with my purchase. I really wish reviewers would lose their brand bias.

It's a Keeper
We hade a 2013 ford escape with the eco-boost 2.0 which was very impressive . We decided to trade in the escape for a XLT Ranger. First impressions were the comfort, engine response, transmission shifting, safety features and driveability. I give the ranger thumbs up on everything except the gas mileage. The jury is still out on that. I only have 600 miles on the truck . I have been told that mileage will improve after break-in period (1500MI.) . We'll see. Overall my wife and love the truck.

Surprised
Let's face it The current Ranger platform has been out for several years in other countries. So what took Ford so long to offer it in the States.?? I owned a 2016 Canyon with most all available options and it was a great truck except for the transmission (known issues) After searching for the The Ranger with the options I wanted XLT remote start sync and a few more goodies I have to say very surprised, Fun to drive turns sharper than the canyon and the 10 speed tranny is outstanding the 4 banger has great power. Very happy with a Ford platform that is not new at least not new in other countries I would guess Ford will only improve on this slightly aged platform.
Focus ST to Ranger
I’ve been reading about and test driving trucks for awhile. Test drove this and bought it. Lots of power, feels sporty and fun and I’m used to the fun of the Focus ST. Tacoma was slow, roofline was way to low, I’m 6’3. Colorado: just don’t like Chevy engines. Frontier, hate to say it but feels like a relic compared to the ranger. Subaru Ascent and outback, very nice but boring. So far getting about 19 mpg, hopefully that will improve, I only have 600 miles on it. I got the XLT, 4x4 sport with tow package for about $36,500. I think I did ok. Now time for mods, so far: bed rug which is awesome, tonneau cover, hood spoiler, mud flaps, brush guard, window visors, weathertech mats and rear cabin spoiler. It’s looking good! When the tires wear out I’ll do the leveling kit and some wider tires.
