2019 Ford Ranger

[CCHeath]

Same could be said about the Toyota Hilux vs. the Toyota Tacoma.

From what little I have read on the Ranger theres A LOT different from the Midsize Ford the rest of the world gets. Frame and suspension is different, wich lets be honest makes it a different truck. I also believe the engines and transmissions are different. Its like most Fords honestly, the Fiesta in Europe is an amazing car, in North America its OK, because they are set up different for the different markets.

Forget the reviews. They're written by washout losers that couldn't find a better job. They have little or no knowledge at all.

They'll curse a firm ride, then praise cargo capacity later. They have no clue that each is related. And affordable to adjust. Custom springs and shocks are everywhere. MT's top pick for overlanding is a Honda Ridgeline and a ''coral'' colored sweater vest. That's all you need to get to offroad Starbucks.

This is true.. If it isnt a honda or toyota, its eeeevil.

Allthough, a overland ridgeline might be cool.

Anyway.. One big benefit of the ranger would be people down in aussieland have been up to this for years, you might be able to score some good ideas from them.

Also a lot of the big reviewers have at one time or another gotten in trouble for taking money to overstate how good a product is.

That rag actually absorbed my Ford. Had to buy a new one.

Looks like a good platform. I like it better then the Colorado.

Got one. Like it. Aftermarket isn't a problem...lots to pick... had it in Azusa Canyon OHV... stock FX4... did well on the trails... didn't have the courage to romp in the deep mud. But crawled the trails and sand well. Tires are the next step. But actually more interested in towing an Off Grid trailer... at 7500 lbs tow capacity should be interesting what it can really do...

I love my 2019 FX4 Ranger so far. It's effortless tooling around off road compared to the Jeep KL Trailhawk it replaced, probably due to the better clearance and wheel base.
