Have had several Rangers in years past. All of them have been just what I needed. This time, I ordered what I wanted and needed. Delivery found that Ford robbed me of one of the most needed features for me, the LED lighting. If you have a harder time seeing at night, you're going to want to replace the factory halogens. I ordered the Lariat with all the trimmings, however, Ford deleted the LEDs without any discussion or alternatives provided. So many other items / features on the Lariat have been dropped that it really is just an XLT with a Lariat badge anymore. Worst part is, FMC couldn't care less about loyal customers anymore. It's all about going woke for the Blue Oval these days...Wanted the Tremor but can't have it in the SCab model so I bought the Tremor suspension and swapped it out. Paid for the option that included the B&O stereo, but, can't have it in the SCab model. Crew model only. Still have to pay the same for the rest of the package though. Performance is adequate. Haven't towed anything major as yet but seems as though it can handle it. Steering is tight if not noisy. Tech in the cabin is fine but could be much more user friendly and versatile. Seems lacking for the Lariat but OK for an XLT (see above). Cheap tires. Ford really needs to get away from Hankook and back to BF Goodrich or Cooper. Off-road package trucks should have off-road tires from the factory. Overall - average.

Great midsized truck. The turbo four has plenty of power and rides so smooth. I'm averaging 20 miles to the gallon. That was a big reason I downsized. Love the curb appeal and yes, I look back when I walk away!

Picked up rental Ranger

The truck had so many zonks. 1. Getting in the truck where normal sized get in is obstructed by the front pillar. you have to contort yourself off balance. 2. This truck trucks throttle response is with delay and moves up and along after you release from the accelerator so you have to watch as the turbo drives itself for a split second. This impacts breaking at needed reaction timing. It was no wonder that when I picked up the the truck it was marked by the rental agency with a ding on the front bumper. The center console was a queer afterthought fitting into the leftover space of the design. The visibility absolutely stunk. Maybe if you are 5'-5" or shorter its better. I'm 5'-11", 240 and this truck was cramped. The truck had little feel for the road when steering it which is probably acceptable to weak arms or hands but I felt like I was being disallowed to make the decision. Back-up visibility was terrible and with the steering a total nuisance. Yes these attributes became recognized to deal with and the truck felt sturdy and strong. But overall the awkwardness was something of a hardship. I think it was designed for more petite folks looking for the strength of a 1/2 ton truck.

Love my 2023 Ranger SuperCab XLT with the FX2 off-road package. It runs great, is comfortable at any speed. The FX2 package provides larger 18” off-road tires, off road tuned suspension, electronic locking rear differential and more. Looked at the Tacoma and Colorado. For me, the Ranger was the hands down winner.
