My 2020 Ranger is my favorite truck I’ve ever owned

I just returned my 2017 full 4 door F-150 for a 2019 FORD RANGER. I am a tight city electrician and this truck has electrified my turning radius. Well done Ford

My new Ranger is the perfect size for my needs

I bought the Ranger XLT in the Blue. I love it.

Had the same dilemma. Size won over all. Didn’t need the full size truck towing and full size parking anguish. Mostly city driving and the quick and agile Ranger won my vote. 2019 lariat fx4 sport in magnetic and looks great in my driveway.

Justin's a great presenter, thanks for the video!

Comparing a new vs used situation is always a little askew. A big point not mentioned here is that a new Ranger comes with a warranty, and you don't have to figure out at your own expense what the previous owner did to the F-150. That being said, In America, the F-150 is a more utilitarian purchase than a ranger. Plus since everyone buys f-150's, you can get a lot more variety compared to a Ranger. The Ranger is more for the adventure lifestyle type (the Wrangler and Tacoma Bro). Anywhere else in the world, the Ranger makes 1000% more sense than an F-150, but in America, yeah get an F-150. Personally I'm biased towards the Ranger, It's a nice truck.

I love my 2018 Ford F150 XL STX appearance package. It's my first new truck ever and feel it's the best value. Thanks for all the great work you do AT.

I just got my brand new Ranger Lariat Supercab 4X4 this week. to replace my Ranger Supercab 4X4 I bought new in '04, I'm loving it more every day. Yeah it was expensive but I'm worth it. If your worried about gas mileage buy a Prius.

Great content as always Justin, you’re the man.

I’ve had 4 Rangers before, and loved them all. Every one was a great truck, that were very reliable. When I heard Ford was bringing them back, I planned to buy another one as soon as they were available. But when I learned the only engine offered was going to be a 4 cylinder ecoboost, I bought a new F150 super cab 4x4 V8 instead. Very glad I did. Love the comfort and room of the bigger truck, love the power of that V8, and I average 20 MPG, which is the same as the turbo 4 cylinder Ranger. To me, that makes it a no brainer. Also, when you factor in the $5000 rebate, and the $4500 discount off MSRP I got, they were even the same price! At the same price and same gas mileage, who would buy the Ranger?

I traded my Camaro in for a supercab Ranger, and I love it. It's plenty of truck for me.

Great video! I'm so glad this video exists because I just test drove a new 2020 Ford Ranger, 2020 Toyota Tacoma Sr5 4 cylinder engine, and a Tacoma TRD Sport V6. For the price of the V6 Tacoma, I could get a full size truck and the 4 cylinder engine on the Taco's lag and are unresponsive compared to the Ranger's 2.7 2.3 L 4 turbo charged eco boost engine. Now I am considering an older used F-150 with the same monies as a new 2020 Ford Ranger. It's a tough decision and glad this video helps a lot!

I bought the 2019 Ranger, we do a lot of off road driving, climb 14ers in Colorado. The F-150 is too big to fit on some of the trails we have to drive on. I'm coming from a 1994 super cab Ranger, with 386.000 miles, and love the little more room in the new Ranger. The 10 speed automatic should be much better than the 5 speed manual the 94 had in the back country.

Like both, recently totaled my dodge Dakota quad cab. Ended up with a used 2009 F150 supercab, with 15,000 miles. My wife and I love the roomy F150, which has our vote! Craig

Just bought a 2020 XLT FX4 in silver. I priced out the same options on a new F-150 before buying and, even with incentives, it still came out about 5,000 more than my Ranger. I actually stepped down from a full size truck to get this one, and I don't regret it one bit. Power isn't an issue at all, and it seems to hold a deer or hog carcass just fine in the 5 foot bed :D

Ya, was wondering how these two compare thanks for the run-through.

Love my 2020 Ranger.1500 miles in and loving the off road capabilities on right trails👍🇺🇸

I bought a brand new 2018 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost Sport/FX4 packages for less than the 2019 Ranger I was looking at. Love the interior space of the F-150 and extra towing capacity.

Thanks great review were going for the ranger love the wheels and look of both trucks but it'll be the Ranger XLT FX4 Sports package and tech package perfect with respect from the U.K.

I'm a little late to the party but I had a 2016 F150 Extended cab with the 5.0. My woman and I were expecting a little one, so I traded in for the 2020 Ranger. While I miss my F150 and that V8, I cant deny how the Ranger fits in the city with a baby. I have room for the wife, the baby, and the dogs, I get great gas mileage, and getting around in a city with tight parking spaces is a lot easier. Great video as always guys!

That’s my exact truck on the left. Love it. ‘15 Sport with a 2 inch level. Waiting to buy some bigger tires next and tinting the front windows.

I have no freaking idea! I love them both!

I bought the Ranger XLT Sport in Lightning Blue just like the one in the video. Love it. But I also have a 77 F100 long bed with a built 351 if I need to tow anything more than 7,500 lbs. Blue also.

I care Justin...I care. Haha. Good review my friend. I love this channel. It's my "go to" for my F-150. Keep up the good work dude.

The F150 with a 3.5L and crew cab is really hard to beat. It's extremely roomy inside, fairly quick, and looks so damn good with the sport package.

When the lease finished on my 2016 F150 I just got a new Ranger SuperCrew XLT FX4 and for me I just love the Ranger. It’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever gotten. It’s so much more fun to drive and I appreciate the trim size.

I like the new Ranger. I owned, i think was an 06, FX4 level 2 with the 4.0. That truck was a beast. Hit a deer and got rear ended by a small car, no damage to either bumper. Need to bring back the 4.0.

Well I already bought a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT Sport 4x4 in lightning blue so you know which one I'm siding with.

Both have advantages as you point out. I have the Supercrew F150, biggest downside for me it won't fit in my garage. But love the interior space. The Ranger would be the way to go if you don't need to haul larger payloads. A lot of people say the Ranger is too pricey, but you won't pay the list prices you see quoted. Same goes for the F150. Both very nice.

I bought a 2017 F150 XLT Special Edition for a lot less than a new Ranger. I bought it just as the Rangers were being released. I couldn't believe how expensive the Rangers were. I was excited because I learned how to drive on an '86 Ranger and my first vehicle was an '88 Ranger. Thought I was going to be able to get back in a Ranger but upgraded to the F150, it was better in EVERY way!

I'm taking the ride and comfort of my 2018 F150 over the few times where it was tight maneuvering my tanker around. If I was off-roading more, I might favor the Ranger as it fits tight trails much better. I also note that I regularly have to fit 4 "regular size" adults in the back seat to avoid taking 2 cars when going to dinner, etc. while visiting family. A Ranger is not pulling that off. In my younger days, I would have chosen the Ranger every time though.

I had a 92 regular cab ranger 4x4 with a 5 speed standard with a 2.9 liter. I put 31 inch tires under it and that truck was freaking awesome. I took it places were people wouldn't take their full size trucks. I also had a 2006 fx4 ranger. A light truck with a 4 liter engine, lots of power for such a light truck.

Finally, Justin is back!

I looked at both and traded my 08 F150 5.4 Triton for the new Ford Ranger. Love the Ranger, looks great, fits in my garage, killer metal bed cover, even enough room for my 6’5” 225lb body. Enough power too.

Love the new Ranger but the key for me is the interior room in the F150.

Been straddling this exact debate constantly going back and forth between midsize vs full size. Great vid. I want a roomy midsize with great trim but I think the F-150 is the way to go in this case. The Ranger is too expensive for what you get. No bonus to fuel economy, doesn't have the interior space. Bed size really doesn't matter (trailer) but the towing capacity may. This is a truck for someone with a small garage that can whip it in a parking spot that may own a jet ski.

Great video, what size leveling kit is on the f150? Looks great

I want the small Courier pickup back! Either work for me.

If you need something that can fit in tight spaces downtown AND fit in tighter spots off road, the ranger ends up being the more all around capable truck (with a leveling kit and some KO tires).

Great comparison! I’ve been debating what I want to replace my car. I live in a area where I need a truck and I live by myself with a dog. My dad bought a 2015 5.0 F150 which I like, but is too big for a single guy and a dog. The only thing is that I might want a Bronco 🤭

I owned a 1999 Ford ranger ext cab stepside 4x4 for 6 years and 100k miles. Great truck. But I was ready for an upgrade. Got me a 2015 Ford F150 XL sport 4x4 super cab with the coyote V8 and sport appearance package. Never looked back. The new ranger is a nice truck for those who are looking for a compact pickup. Love the blue!

being from the UK I would pick the ranger. Tea and crumpits anyone?

Well I bought the ranger xlt sport I love it

Serious question. I’m looking to buy a new vehicle. It will be used every day to do deliveries putting in around 40 miles on freeway and 60 miles doing frequent stops, equaling about 100 every single day. Deliveries are no hauling or nothing heavy. Kinda like food delivery. Today. April 2021. F-150 XLT or Ranger XLT? Which one to buy and why? Thanks.

Appreciate the details on the break over angle, etc. The bigger truck seems like more for the buck, BUT if you drive around a lot on smaller roads that bigger size is no help if you do not need it. If you are towing 5-6,000 pounds max once and a while, the Ranger can do it fine. No great mpg gain in the ranger is the real bummer. But, in the end, will take the Ranger for its ease of moving around in tighter spaces.

When is the 2019 Ranger gonna get some product support on the website?!

I'm on the fence since I have a 06 F150 if I need a larger truck. If they put the 2.7 or something comprable in the ranger and I'm all in!

As someone who is used to driving mid-size suvs but wants a truck, I'd personally get the Ranger.

I asked myself the same questions and just bought a 2019 Ranger. 😏

Currently drive a 2012 5.0 supercrew, but a ranger 2x4 looks like it would be insane fun to zip around the city in.

I looked at both, but decided on the F-150 (new.) The Ranger was just slightly too small: I needed to consider carting around adult sized people in the rear seat, and the limo-sized rear passenger space in the F-150 won the deal. I optioned in Katzskins and BLIS in the XLT, and it's pretty sweet. Note that after 1,000m, I am not seeing anywhere close to 26 mpg Hwy on my 2.7V6, and combined is about 19 mpg.

If I wanted a smaller tuck I would go with a tacoma over a ranger, I was looking at a ranger the other week before I got a steal on a used 2017 F150. It had minor hail damage so I got it for about 10k less than similarly equipped used f150s. Love it so far!

Just sold my 2011 Ranger and bought a used 2017 F150 XLT SPORT 2.7. The ONLY regret is that the F150 is a mother to park....but that's to be expected. LOVE THIS TRUCK!

Torn between getting the 2021 f150 stx and waiting to see if they will drop the redesigned/ maybe raptor version of the ranger this year 2022 version?….

My 2006 Harley Ed. F150 was getting " long in tooth"..was waiting on the either the new Ranger or the diesel F150. Finally chose a lightly used 2015 F150 2.7 Ecoboost Sport. Just couldn't warm up to a smaller Ford or the "pokey" diesel but glad they're out there. No regrets here!

I like the Ranger. I use to own a 1990 Ranger XLT

I bought a dark grey ranger. Totally worth it.

Waiting for my ranger to arrive. I do work in city and need to park often. On my day off i go fishing hunting always so a pickup is needed and i like the look and feature of the new ranger. Bought the scab for the longer bed.

I drove Rangers in my younger days before kids. I was really hoping to get another one but I want the comfort of the extra interior space of the F150 now that I have a family

I'd pick the Ranger but there's already too many of them driving around where I live same with the F 150 so I'll keep looking for something maybe a little older.

I really wanted a new Ranger (I had a 2013 F150 XLT 3.5 EB) but when it came time to drop the hammer, I went with a 2019 F150 XLT 2.7 EB. With all the incentives, etc, I got everything I wanted on the lot for less than I would have had to pay to order (or wait) for a comparable Ranger. The new truck has the 5.5 bed vrs my 2013 which had a 6.5 bed so I did come down in size some 😁.

I have a 2018 f150 platinum for the weekends but i have 3 rangers for work 98 models xcab 5speed 4bangers i would be upgrading to the new ranger by the end of 2019 3 new rangers xcab xl trims 2wd

I just got a 2022 ranger fx4 lariat and also have a 2018 f150 lariat both crew cans I dont know what to do should I sell my 18 f150 and buy another ranger or just keep it with the 45k mi I plan on bringing the 18 f150 to Florida to leave there but the smaller truck is easyer to park and it will toe my boat

Nice!!

The rangers we have down here in Australia have either a 200hp 3.2litre 5 cylinder turbo diesel which does combined 35mpg and the 214hp 2litre biturbo 4 cylinder diesel does 40mpg combined. Not huge power numbers but they get the job done with ease. Also our ranger looks way better than what they have done to the US model. And we get the raptor😁. To buy a brand new right hand drive converted F150 down here costs anything North of $130k where an xlt ranger you can get for less than $50k

Couldn't go wrong buying either one. Both great trucks in my opinion 🤟

When they first announced the ranger I wanted one so bad but seeing the price nvm

F150 all the way !!!!!! Same mpg's a no brainer!

I had a 2016 F-150 XLT 2wd 5.0 nice truck it got 19 -21 mpg in town driving. Bought a 2019 Ranger XLT 2wd it gets 30 plus all the way to 34.5 mpg in town driving and the Ranger fits in the garage that's a nice thing keeping it out of the Arizona sun and heat. You can't go wrong with either truck.

I have a 95 Ranger and a 88 F-250 great trucks. Now looking at 2019 F-250 Crew cab long bed at $40. K

I have 3 2020 rangers that I use for my lawncare business, they pull a lawncare trailer with no problem, and they're compact , which is a necessity to be able to park in tight spaces and not be in the way of traffic

I have a F150 rite now and hate it for the PITA parking issues, unfortunately I didn't test drive it in strip mall parking lots and other small parking areas before I purchased and that's on me, so next year from now I'll be in a Ranger.

You can get a slightly less optioned F150 new for the same money as the ranger.

Ranger for me but not really happy with the engine I would have loved to have seen in 3.5 liter at least would have been awesome

Considering how most of everyone has been saying "well I can get a new F150 for the price of the Ranger," it would be nice if you compared the 2 with as close of a comparison as possible and pricing. New to New comparison.

Needed a vehicle I could flat tow behind my motorhome and the weight of the Ranger won out, I also like having a smaller truck to park as a daily driver.

I have a 2017 turbo diesel Ranger and its incredible. Power comes on like a locomotive and mileage rivals a prius:) Have had a dozen ford trucks, this ones my favourite although f150 not available here in Thailand. Lol

I would like to see a comparison of the 2004 Ford f-250 6.0 diesel and the new 2019 f-250 6.7 diesel.

I'm buying my first truck soon and looking at prices here in Florida the rangers are more expensive. I'm looking more at the F-150.

I'm going to wait till they release a Ranger Raptor in North America...

I like the ranger myself. I’m not a handyworker or someone that needs a truck for work. I’ve always wanted a ranger since I’ve been young

I own a 2016 F-150 2.7 eco boost 4X4. Same fuel economy with a lot more room. You always want more truck than not enough. The only reason to buy Ranger is for big city life.

Used full size for me. Just a matter of what makes the most sense for you. Nothing like a fresh warranty though!

Got a 97 ranger runs great no problems everyday thinking about buying new ranger just to witch last longer new or old

The new Ranger certainly checks a lot of boxes for most, however in my opinion it’s not quite there on performance, looks and styling. I’ve put 5 customers in the new Ranger the past couple months, and each was an senior/elderly male. The cabin experience is somewhat crammed, and the 2.3Eco has the worst turbo lag out of any Ford models. To get standard amenities out of the Ranger, Lariat trim is a must. They ARE tremendously overpriced currently, I don’t recommend anyone purchase one unless rebates are greater than $7,000

I went with a Lariat Ranger. The F150 just takes up too much room in the garage. That said, Ford could offer more incentives on the Ranger...cost is high! Ranger seems small next to the F150, but this new Ranger is huge compared to my 1997 Ranger. (which I still have)

Worked for Ford for enough years and worked on enough full size trucks to know I don’t like driving such a big box in town. Ranger is by far and away more practical and useful for me.

The one for me is the F150, because of what I use it for. I need the bed size for my slide in camper and the towing capacity for the boat, and the roomy interior of the super crew is simply nice and useful to have. I also still prefer the 5.0L V8 by the way. Having said that, I love what Ford did with the new Ranger. I love the soft lines. To be honest, I am not a fan of the boxy lines Ford introduced I think in 2010? My favourite recent F150 lines are still the 2008 models, with its soft curvy body.

F-150 for me, getting one soon

Well being as you really only have 2 engine options with the f150 being as the 5.0 and 3.5 are experiencing serious quality control issues. That leaves you with the 3.3 or the 2.7. Since those are the bottom 2 engine options you could easily find and f150 for less than a ranger.

I think I go for the size of the F-150. I like both trucks, but you can find a brand new, optioned out F-150 heavily discounted because Ford sells so damn many of them. Go at the right time. November-December on a Monday at the end of either month. The dealer needs to make their money for that month and the year so you are likely to get a sweet deal. Also, very rarely is there someone shopping around on a Monday.

Here's what I'd like to know. Does that eco boost f150 get the 12000 tow capacity? I feel like the diesel or v8 with tow package would but then you would no longer get the same gas mileage. The ranger however, can pull the 7500 with its standard engine and still average 23 mpg (not while towing, just in general). What is the f150 eco boost tow capacity without the tow kit?

I have a 2017 f150 5.0v8 and average about 20mpg mixed driving. Given the extra space and capacities, f150 all day here.

I will stick with my 2010 ranger. It works for me.

I had an 03 ranger fx4 white with crome down the sides and side steps, 6' box and a 4.0 SOCH engine and had it chipped, that little truck served me well over 240,000 km and i used it for work hauling all my tools as a cabinet installer for years. Finally the timing chain went and I put in a new engine for $1000 then I sold the truck for $6000 or $7000 can't remember and upgraded to a 2010 f150 XTR, I miss that lil ranger it was quick af, the new ones I find ugly and that 2.3 even with the eco boost I don't know! and that price alone holy

Did an extended test drive (over the weekend) in a 2WD Lariat Ranger. Power was pretty good, felt like a large V6, but hated the ride. It drove like a mushy Honda Civic and the radio screen is angled too far forward. The sun washed out the screen to where you couldn't see it. Bought an over-stock 2018 F150 4door with the 3.5 eco for $600 less than what the Ranger was going for, lol.

Does it really cost almost as much to produce the mid size ranger as it does a full size truck? This is a big issue for me and If I could get some honest information about it I would really like to know for sure what the actual production costs run, So I could better negotiate when I go to buy a New one. I dont mind them making some profit, that is the name of the game, the amount of profit is where we will differ at.

150 all the way except i live in Hawaii where the highway lanes are 2 feet narrower and so are the parking stalls. Heck if you go to the mall and don't want your sides all bashed and scratched opt for the Harley sportster, so even though i love 150 it would be ranger for me.
