Ranger Safety Canopy System Saved Our Lives!

2021 Ford Ranger Lariat 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
We purchased a new 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat in Shadow Black with the 501A options group and had the truck for nearly 4 years - very smart looking and comfortable to drive. Last October we were involved in a head-on collision with our Ranger and aside from my wife’s broken ankle and my black eye from the airbags/chest bruising and strain from the seatbelts the Ranger Safety Canopy system saved our lives - such a safe truck if the unthinkable happens and kudos to the Ford safety engineers! With that said we purchased a low mileage 2021 Ford Ranger Lariat in Carbonized Grey and blackout trim, 501A options group with black lacquer rally wheels - super sharp looking! Truck rides beautifully, we love the black leather trimmed seats and Bang and Olufsen 10 speaker stereo system - truly a luxury SUV ride - technology package is excellent, gas mileage is great for a mid-sized truck and enjoy (as we did before)the peace of mind the Off Road Fx4 Package brings should snow turn our roads into a challenge. You really don’t have to worry about mechanical issues as long as you bring your Ranger in for it’s regularly scheduled maintenance. Highly suggest having the inner Ford Toughbed bed liner for the cargo bed, along with the OEM Ford tonneau cover - this makes the truck more aerodynamic thus gas savings. Also suggest installing the aftermarket gas strut damper for the tailgate as we did to avoid it slamming down. We noticed that the 2021 Ranger Lariats do not come with the factory installed engine cover as our 2020 Ranger Lariat, but will order this separately to cut down on the noise the eco boost engine makes. Also suggest washing your Ford Ranger with a power washer/foam cannon system to avoid fine “spiderweb” scratches on the clear coat finish which are nicely applied at the factory, and to keep the OEM Hankook OWL tires when replacement is warranted to preserve original Lariat off road package ride and feel - do rotate tires at each oil change - this comes with Ford’s “The Works” oil change service and it’s worth the money for your Ford Ranger investment! Overall a wonderful truck and yes, you can “nitpick” the Ranger but for your money it is better equipped at each trim level offering than other trucks in its class, and with reasonable care retains it’s value very well! We also feel it’s the safest mid-size truck out there - the Five and Four Star safety ratings are for real folks - I would not be here writing this review if it were not for the Ford Safety Canopy System - thanks and I hope you enjoy your Ford Ranger as much as we do!

Although I’ve only driven the 2021 Ranger less than 100 miles so far , it has exceeded my expectations and has provided a wow factor. The fit, finish, and driving experience, although, very short at this time is excellent.

We bought a brand new ranger lariat edition. Within 35000kms she's rusting. Ford won't warranty the rust by claiming stone chips. We drive the hiway!! Transmission is jumping all over the place and again ford won't do anything. Terrible truck even worse customer service. Do not buy!!!

I tried the New Ranger Lariat last week. After driving one model convinced me to buy one bemuse it ran smoothly and handled the local steep hills well. The hand break is positioned well in center of the console and the S gear changes worked well --However, driving another model which made me feel a little sea sick with all the automatic gear changes! and worst of all ; the engine would stop at the traffic lights and then start up on the green GO light -this is most disconcerting and changed my mind completely!

I've been trying to purchase an extended cab Ranger with a 6' bed for more than 4 months. The dealer I ordered it from can't get it because of a recall and the dealer that had one couldn't sell it because of a recall, (non-chip related).......very frustrating.....bought a NIssan and am happy I did!
