2024 Ranger

[Uncle Gump]

Super crew will have optional 6' bed.

But supercab will either not be offered, or offered only with 5' bed?

From what I read... no supercab at all.

Looks like a fully boxed frame. Are the current gen rangers this way?

Seems much more robust then the OBS ranger frames. W/ the tall skinny C channel. Not that there were too many issues with those frames tearing apart.

I believe the current Ranger does have a fully boxed frame. I was too focused on getting the task at hand done to pay attention when I was last under it. So, it is possible my memory is fuzzy.

The more I look... some say no supercab and some say yes.

I guess we will find out... sometime.

No Supercab with the 6-foot bed would very much disappoint me.

Hey it only took Toyota 14 years in the current design Tundra to offer a 6 foot bed with their crew cab, so I guess maybe in 14 years Ford might offer a 6 foot bed for the crew cab Ranger LOL. Not holding my breath on anything at this point as they continually change things up on what seems like a weekly basis LOL.

I assume they'll keep the 2.3L 4 cylinder as the only engine option, unless they go full electric soon, and wouldn't be surprised if they go down that road sadly.

Just sharing the link that said no supercab for US/Canada.

I wonder what they did for corrosion protection on the fully boxed frame? Toyota learned this lesson a few years ago.

 

[racsan]

make it airtight & fill it with grease, cant rust from the inside out that way.

F-150's have had boxed frames since '04...

Quoted from link

Ford Authority expects the 2024 Ford Ranger to be offered in the SuperCrew cab (the one with four full-size doors) and an option of a five-foot or six-foot bed. Though not confirmed, it’s likely that the SuperCab option (the one with full-size front doors and two rear half-doors) will not be offered in the U.S. or Canada.

That bites, Id rather have a supercab. After several years with a old reg cab/longbed I really like having the longer bed.

I know you said you were looking towards the Tremor package. That package doesn't come with the supercab 6 foot bed. Total bummer.

I was just playing on the build and price tool... just to see where I might land if the super cab is gone in 2024.

Looks like they mention a 3L Ecoboost V6 but only for the Raptor, seriously, offer the engine across the board, even though its a turbo at least a couple more cylinders will help a bit when you have a trailer or load in the bed and up in higher elevations, even the turbo 4 cylinder probably would struggle a bit when loaded up at higher elevations. A V6 in an XL 4x4 with the 6 foot bed might get my interest, the 4 cylinder does not LOL. Yeah, I know it ain't nothing like the old stuff, but still, its a truck, put an engine under the hood for a truck rather than a car LOL.

I was hoping they'd offer the extended cab still, I really don't have any need for a crew cab pickup, the super cab would be plenty, and mostly get used for storage of tools, and stuff like that, definitely ain't for a people hauler the crew cab still don't have much leg room for anyone other than children.

I will probably end up buying a 2023 FX4 and build the suspension equivalent to a Tremor if the Super Cab is dropped in 2024. I may have access to a pair of Tremor rear springs from a friend. Ford performance has a kit that is supposed to be very close to the Tremor suspension minus the rear springs. I am also considering doing Bilstein shocks on all four corners. I found out Fox recommends rebuilding their shocks every 50K miles to keep them functioning properly. I have used Bilstein shocks for many years and like them very much and have learned they are good for 100K to 150K miles. I have about 180K miles on my current front Bilstein shocks and can tell they are starting to show a little degradation in performance.

The 2.3 is a whole lot more trucks than the 3.0 is...

Ours runs really good, it would give my 5.0 F-150 a pretty good run for its money.
