Great "little" truck

so far, I'm very impressed with my ranger xlt fx4. I'm convinced the bad "professional" reviews are from some sort of brand bias. The turbo lag was a little concerning for the first 1000 miles but once the break- in programming went away I couldn't be happier with how this truck runs. Plenty of power with smooth shifts on pavement and dirt. I'm not generally concerned about fuel mileage out of pickup trucks but I do get 23 overall driving mostly on dirt and two lane roads. The fx4 package includes some nifty toys I'll never use, however it's pretty cool that the off road cruise control exists even if it's not my thing. The ride is excellent for a pickup with this much payload capacity, it barely rides like a truck at all. I suppose if you're lumping it in with sedans and luxury SUVs it is a little bumpy but if you're used to pickup trucks it's quite nice going down the road. Even better than the 2012 F150 I used to drive. My extra cab has plenty of room for my 6'8" 260 lb frame. If you have older kids or like to run around with adult friends I would get the four door. The interior is nice without trying to be real fancy, which I like. There's lots of electronics that aren't too confusing for someone with a love- hate relationship with technology like me. It was fairly simple getting my phone to hook up, set up the Ford Pass and navigate through all the screens to find what I needed. It's easy to find the differential locker, switch in and out of for wheel drive and switch up the terrain management if needed. There's also both touchscreen and manual controls for the HVAC and radio, with radio and phone controls on the steering wheel as well. All the models come with crash mitigation systems which I've never been a fan of as a commercial driver but this system is so smart I didn't even think I had it turned on. It's not annoying at all, I have left it on but you can turn it off, which is a nice feature as well. In short, I have owned and driven all manner of pickup trucks and SUV's, Broncos and jeeps and I absolutely love this truck. It is a joy to drive and is capable of doing its job as a pickup and a 4x4. I highly recommend despite if what the "professionals" say. Ford really knocked it out of the park with this thing, in my humble opinion.

Always had F-150's till 2009 when I began driving a Lincoln MKS. Loved that care for 164,000 miles. Decided to go back to a truck. Didn't want to give up mileage so looked at the Ranger. The Lariat trim level made me feel like I was back in the Lincoln. (Only thing missing is ventilated front seats, which I miss living in Florida) I have to admit, I was not prepared for the ride difference from the MKS. My wife reminds me it's a truck. The Off-road suspension package makes the ride stiffer than my friend's two wheel drive Ranger XLT. I went with the 4 x 4 because it allows flat (4 wheels down) towing behind my motorhome. The dealer had no 4 x 4's without the off road suspension package available. After three months, I'm used to the ride. I am amazed by the incredibly quick pick up from the 4 cylinder. The truck sounds futuristic because when it's being driven, you can hear the whir of the turbo-chargers. The truck handles well and has a surprisingly tight turning radius. I have pulled a 6700 lb trailer and the trailer package functions admirably, although I'm not sure I'd want to pull a trailer of that weight without electric trailer brakes. The pearl colored paint is awesome looking and reflects the Florida sun (and heat) well. The seats are comfortable, the ride is quiet, and the creature comforts abound. The 10 speed automatic transmission works flawlessly. Best highway mileage so far has been 25.6 mpg. Average mileage 19.7 mpg. Very pleased with the truck so far. Stereo system is only "good". Can't say "excellent." It would be nice if the Supercab was offered with a 6' bed.

Ford never disappoints with their trucks!

I"ve been a lifelong Ford guy and this review might sound biased but after spending six years of owning a 2014 F-150 XLT 4x4 Supercab and having my personal needs change especially within the past couple of years I had to downsize to something smaller but still needed a truck. I was thinking of going the SUV route with the new Escapes but after my wife talked me out of getting one we did some networking through some family and friends of ours and wound up going with a 2020 Ranger XLT Supercab 4x4. After taking the truck for a test drive I have to say I was far more than impressed with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine (actually swore to God that I was driving a Mustang) and I have to say this truck can easily keep up with the traffic on the highway without any sweat, can zip up to 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds, has no problem with keeping up with the traffic flow at around 110-120 km/h. I have the CoPilot 360 which so far helps out but I'm disappointed to find out that beside a flashing indicator on the mirrors there's no chime if you change lanes indicating there's a vehicle in the lane you want to go into. However the rear camera is very handy, the 8-inch infotainment system is good but I feel that Sync could do a bit of a revamp to make the onscreen controls easier. Apple CarPlay is a blast to use but I wish there was a way to use the Sync voice commands while using CarPlay, mind you I did come from an older version of Sync so I probably still have some figuring out to do. Nevertheless even with the 6 speaker system the stereo sounds fantastic but could use a bump in amplification. The ride is actually good, handling is not bad. The seats do provide decent support and the cab has more than enough front legroom. The back seat is actually roomy for the average sized person but not if you're on a long road trip however its good for tossing a couple of suitcases for a weekend getaway. My biggest complaint is the position of the cupholders- I recommend taking your own travel mug for coffee on long trips as I'm dreading the moment that a lid will pop off my paper cup of Starbucks venti or a Tim Horton's dark roast! I haven't had a chance to try out the truck in 4 wheel drive yet as I write this but with our Canadian winters I can imagine this truck will do good. As for the engine it's really happy if you use a very good regular grade of gasoline from a gas station that's 'Top Tier' certified otherwise make sure you fill it up with premium once in a while to keep things with the engine in check.

2020 STX 4x4 XL supercab, the base model with vinyl floors, no chrome but with alloy wheels. Not a 5 star rating because of several things: suspension, the seat bottom and body panel fit. By far the worst flaw on the truck are the shocks. They are too soft in both compression and rebound damping and allow the suspension springs to throw the chassis and passengers every which way when driving on anything other than a perfect surface. The comments by others about feeling like you are in a boat are accurate. Stiffer aftermarket shocks here we come! The cost and hassle there will be worth it though because the rest of the driving experience is good. Lots of engine power on regular gas with 24 mpg at 70 mph. The transmission has three shift calibrations that cover every driving style you want. Brakes are strong and pedal feel is linear, much better than the vagueness of F150's. The seat bottom is too short for my 5' 11" frame. A three hour trip results in a bit of soreness underneath my thighs from a lack of support. Another inch or two in cushion length would make the otherwise excellent seats that much better. Lots of seat adjustments are included on these base model seats, much more than on my base model 2016 F150. The fender/hood gaps are uneven on the body. Not gross, not functionally inferior, just unusual to see nowadays on a new model. The paint is excellent. The interior on my base model, the no carpet XL, is actually quite good. Lots of hard plastic everywhere (it's a truck!) but it is nicely styled and assembled. Lots of storage for bottles etc., good stereo, bluetooth, easy phone pairing. Overall a solid truck, better driving than my 2016 F150 and it is a much more manageable size than that in town. Cheaper than the F150 too!

I'm very impressed with the new Rangers! I've always had at least a half ton pickup over the years. When I bought a new Harley, I didn't want a big payment on a truck. The salesman asked, would you like a new Ranger. Initially I thought, too small. After test driving one I bought it! No regrets!! Plenty of power and comfort. Love the 6 ft. bed too. Honestly more than enough for what I need and I'm impressed with the towing ability!
