Nice truck, just not for me

I am not a truck owner, but have driven several. I rented a Ford Ranger XLT 4WD Crew Cab for a recent trip from NY to VA and back. I drove the truck for 3 days straight. First impression - this is a nice looking truck! The step-in is high, as expected. I found it difficult to comfortably step up and in smoothly, without banging my head. This would be annoying to deal with all of the time. The driver seat is comfortable, but hard to adjust. The seat is height adjustable, but I left it down. The back is very awkward to adjust and to get it just right. Maybe the power version is better? The side mirror controls are on the dash. You have to lean forward and left to reach them, so it could take several tries to get the mirrors right. Bad design. I started it up and the engine has a pop pop pop sound, sort of like a boxer engine on a Subaru. Driving off, the engine noise is loud and the truck really bobs and weaves and sways back and forth, especially on rough pavement. The movement subsides and the engine quiets down as you move along. But, a few times I felt a little car sick for a second. The engine has great low end torque and really take off. 10 speed transmission always shifted smoothly. Visibility is excellent, with a commanding view of the road. Headlights are good, and they include auto high beams - good feature. Radio is OK but the screen is tiny. Easy enough to pair with my iPhone, but I missed the Apple CarPlay. Lots of buttons on the center stack can be confusing. I tried to fold the rear seat but couldn't figure it out. Should be easier, like the Honda Ridgeline. Cruise control worked very well, although adaptive cruise would have been awesome. Highway handling could be a lot tighter. I found myself drifting alot. Around town, this truck handles like a much smaller car. I was shocked at how tight it can turn into a parking spot. Overall, this is a nice truck. I would want the power seats, adaptive cruise, better entertainment system, and a cargo cover. That's probably $40K+, so I don't see that happening. For someone that is used to a pickup as a daily driver, and need towing capacity, and under 6' tall, this is probably a good choice.

Best Truck in it's class way better than Tacoma

Ranger blows away the Tacoma and the GM twins. Ford's safety and technology is unmatched. Plenty of power and the truck is solid. Tight turning radius and the off road tech is fantastic. Toyota Tacoma's are nice but I traded my SR5 4x4 For the Ranger. Ranger is a way nicer truck than the Tacoma. Sure the MSRP on the ranger is high but no one pays MSRP. MY new Ranger MSRP was 41,000 Picked it up for 31,000. Cheaper than what I paid for the Tacoma. The GM twins suck on off road and comfort and gas mileage. GM is unreliable at best. The Ranger is mostly American parts. U.S. Steel ,Frame, American Axle and drive shaft, Engine made in Cleveland, Ohio. Transmission parts from Sharonville, Ohio and transmission built in Livona Michigan and assembled in Michigan.Body panels are manufactured by AK steel and stamping plant in detroit. A tough truck built in the USA. After one year of ownership zero problems or issues. Gas mileage has actually improved and it is the best truck I have ever owned!

Purchased the Ranger in December 2019, up till now it's been in the shop 60 days. HVAC box has been replaced twice. Will blow cold on one side and hot on the other. Fuel pump replaced within the first three months as well. Knocking noise in the engine bay anytime the AC or defrost is on. Body panels on this truck couldn't be any thinner, when I wash it the aluminum literally pushes in and out. Transmission is very clunky when coming from the start stop mode and changing to the reverse position. Literally jolts the whole truck. Very cramped driver position no matter how far the seat is back. The power window controls are literally closer to your elbow than they are your hand when your arm is resting on the door armrest. Ford missed the mark with this one especially for how much these go for.
