They look nice,but I don't think they will sell too many-they are priced the same as the f-150.

New rangers are nothing like the older ones.You can get them with the ecoboost engines and new transmissions.

Nothing like the old Rangers. These are almost the size of the older F-150. I purchased a 2019 Super crewcab Lariat for my wife and after 2K miles it has averaged 24.1 mpg here in the Colorado mountains. Power from the new 2.3 EcoBoost is really impressive as well, I got the FX4 package to but have not had a chance to take it off road yet. It drags a two horse trailer with two big mules in it up these mountain passes with out much effort So far so good. Thumbs up.

Does it have a lot of rust?


Does a bear crap in the woods?

I don't think I have ever seen a non rust bucket, older Ford Ranger. I have 2 of them and if I washed them, I could literally put holes through the rust with the water.
