Tremor: Jerky Transmission, Engine Powerband Sucks

There is so much that's annoying with my 2021 Ranger Tremor that I am going to sell it before 8,000 miles. The noise of the engine grates into your very core and Ford has done almost nothing to filter out that direct injection clacking that nobody wants or needs to hear in the cabin. It has a 4-cylinder and 10 gears yet I cannot achieve more than 17.2 mpg in the city and 19.8 on the highway... and that's with me changing the heavy off-road tires to lighter highway tires? The transmission is extremely slow to react for a 2021 vehicle and annoyingly jerky often with little consistency as to when it'll change gears and you end up lugging the engine if you're going about 30-35 consistently. The suspension makes these clunks that reverberates along the frame when you accelerate or stop (I'm told that's the FOX shocks). The steering is too touchy for a truck just off-center. The dashboard center-stack design is terrible and I literally cannot see the buttons during the day because the interior is so dark (god forbid I can get a tan interior on the TREMOR). Speaking of TREMOR, the TREMOR sticker was not applied level and it's like this on every one I see. The included skid plate is thin metal that has no business being on an off-road package truck and there for show and cannot be replaced if you bend it because Ford doesn't sell the black one unless you buy another TREMOR truck. Most importantly to know, the brake feel is the worst of any car I have ever driven in my entire life and that includes a 1967 Lincoln. Overall, I feel like I'm driving a truck that's 20 years old, not brand new with modern design. Especially since the full tank fuel range is actually embarrassing. What's worse, there's very little quality aftermarket for these trucks compared to the Toyotas and since Ford is going to redesign the truck for 2022, apparently, there's not ever going to be much to speak of. Yes, from a specs perspective you have better towing and power than the Toyota Tacoma. Okay, sure, but most people don't need 7,000 lbs. of towing on a mid-size (and you wouldn't want to tow that much with these "afterthought" brakes and no factory brake controller option) and most people want a more reliable naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine. I drove the new engine/transmission combo in the Nissans and THAT is how you do it. I should not be getting jerked around and annoyed by the engine/transmission tuning every single day. And to add to the list... the A/C is awful. I live in Georgia... sometimes it never really cools down the cabin unless you are blasting the ever-lovin' out of it. Never had to do that in any other car in the past.

Value vs Quality

Purchased a '21 Ranger to replace my tired, old '04 Colorado. I like the exterior styling, but, the interior is very cheap plastic bits and I find all of the automatic systems (lighting/chimes/auto on-off, etc) without manual controls, annoying. I didn't realize how large this vehicle is and how high off the ground it sits, much bigger than I realized, and I'm 6'3. It will take a little getting used to. The difference between the Colorado and the Ranger is like night and day in terms of performance. The controls don't feel intuitive, but that could be muscle memory kicking in...and their placement seems not very well thought through. Overall the fit and finish is mediocre, not great/not bad, just could be a little better. Value is a relative thing and is different for everyone, I personally feel the price is a bit much for what you get, take away all of the many Ranger emblems letting everyone know it's a "Ranger", and you have a fairly basic truck. I would rather pay a little more for something a little more substantial. For this reviewer, Quality = Value. Would I purchase this vehicle again, the verdicts out for now, but at this point I don't think I would. Pros: Engine 2.3L Turbo Ecoboost Drivability (reliability, not sure yet) Cons: Cheap Plastic Interior (especially the sun visors) Too many automatic systems w/o manual override Infotainment System Gauges (too cluttered/complicated not simple readouts) Price

I bought the truck new. Like others I was going to go with the Tacoma but the ride in the Ranger was nicer. Overall, I am well pleased with the truck. The ride is good. The turning in and out of tight place is a plus and it has no problem pulling my Bass Tracker boat. You don't even feel it back there. I gave it 4 stars because of the cab room. I miss the room and storage that I had in my F 150. And to be honest the Tacoma had a better storage with the back seat folded down.

Our 2021 Ranger has lock us out twice! Entering the truck by the key will get you in, but the truck is dead. No power!! I'm told it's a glitch when there are certain internet wave interfering with the truck. Great.....grrrr!! Once at Costco and once in front of our church. I waited 10 minutes and the alarm began to sound and then I had power. Fix the glitch Ford. I wouldn't want this to happen if I had an emergency.

Oh my gosh, what happened to Ford's quality? Took delivery of this truck with scratches in the dash and the floor console... the door panels scratch so easily that they are noticed. The brakes are terrible.. a disappointment. Owned Fords all my life.. this is my last. Not to mention my vents weren't hooked up either..
