Not even a little impressed. I'm not a huge Ford fan, but my pap drove a ranger, so I have good memories tied to them. The price just seems awfully high. I walked out the door with a new ram 1500 crew cab with a hemi 5.7. And 4x4 for not alot more than this. I think it's overpriced.

looks like a GM body style. My New 2017 XLT F150 was not much more then that either... Think I will keep the 2004 Ranger I have as my trapping rig. After all it is just getting broke in at 267,000K and it LOOKS like a Ford!

It's essentially the same vehicle they continued to make overseas while not offering it here. Bummer, was hoping for more. Have to see what the Z plan pricing comes out to be.

base price is more than I paid for 4wd in 98. truck has been rough used. still not using oil. I doubt seriously the new style can hold a candle to one of these. old truck still not using oil between changes. need to replace the egr valve though

I guess I just don't like the size of it? I expected a smaller truck like the original rangers. I dont get making a what's supposed to be a midsize truck into an almost full-size, for just a few to grand less. I feel like you get the worst of everything that way.

Looks OK to me. Some better tires would go a long ways.

Yep, a lift kit for the deep snow and some bigger tires.
Nice looking little truck.

I don't like it, looks to Toyota'ish to me and it's not Ranger size.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Looks the same size as my old ranger.

Big enough to haul the 4 trax.

That's because they're trying to improve the looks of it.

Well they failed lol. A Ford should look like a Ford.

The new one looks to have more room in the interior and less room under the hood.I wont buy a 4 door truck.Supercab gives a place to lock stuff up and more room in the box where needed for a trapper.

Had a 4x4 Ranger in 85. King cab model. Perfect size and would go anywhere. I like the new look as well.
