Ford Ranger Lariat Crew Cab Pickup Exterior. Tremor Package Shown.

The 2022 Ranger seems like a competitive truck based on its specs and features list. But its ride quality and interior come across as carryovers from several years back, not something cooked up new to expressly serve the needs of U.S.-market customers in a competitive midsize-truck field.

2021 Ford Ranger Lariat 4dr SuperCab SB (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I really really wanted to buy a Tacoma but my test drive was unimpressive. I found the Ford ranger to be much more responsive and smooth. The inside was also more comfortable although I did buy the lariat trim. The only negative is that so far the city mileage is about 18mpg. My first highway trip was 28 mpg, however so that was cool. I’ve been so impressed with the ranger, way beyond …

Great looking, fast, and roomy

2021 Ford Ranger XL 4dr SuperCab SB (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

Ranger XL with extended cab (not crew cab) and 6 ft. bed. Beautiful metallic gray. Used it to move furniture day after getting it. Fits lots! Plenty of space for tools behind front seats. Great acceleration, smooth on hwy. Looks, drives, and carries better than Tacomas, for way less money. Good deal from Encinitas Ford. Very happy.

So far so good

2021 Ford Ranger XLT 4dr Crew Cab SB (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I purchased the 2021 Ford Ranger XLT Sport package in magnetic gray about 2 months ago. I have just over 2k miles on it. As of now, I absolutely love this truck. Here's some of the pros and cons I see: Pros: Fast little truck. After test driving many mid size trucks, the Ranger is way zippier than any of the other models. Comfortable. The Ranger is super comfortable to drive even …

2022 Ford Ranger XLT 4dr SuperCab 4WD SB (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I purchased a new 2022 Ranger XLT extended cab. Ever since I purchased it the 10R80 10-speed transmission can't find it's gears. Engine revs up to 3000rpm from cold start caused with a delay in the transmission finding first gear; gear shifting is hard until you get to cruising speed. Engine vibrates shaking the truck between 10-30mph. Taken the vehicle to the dealer no less than 4 …

Safety

Our experts like the Ranger models:

Forward and Reverse Sensing System: Warns you of objects both in front and to the rear of the vehicle to prevent low-speed impacts.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Alerts you of an imminent front collision and can automatically apply the brakes if you don't react in time.
Lane Keeping System: Emits a warning when there's a lane change without the use of a turn signal and can provide steering input to keep the vehicle in the lane.
