I’d replace the dash with the 65” tv from my living room if I could.
I like analog gauges but a tiny backup screen is almost worse than no screen at all. Especially when looking for a trailer.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Seriously....I would have to sell my house and buy it cash.


Because I will take it home and cut it up.

My wife would sell that useless bed and I will build one that works after stretching the frame 14 inches.

Since they are not offering a diesel hybrid....or the bigger output hybrid yet... Can't see it happening. The powerboost has ruined me.

But they are coming.

If I am making payments....likely some sort of vehicle that offers at least 3500 watts.

So powerboost expedition I can see as next.


Which means ... Wife will stop me

Nothing I see shows anything but a more door. I really like that under seat storage but I really have my sights set on a super cab and a longer box. I was thinking about as close to a base truck with a couple cherry picked options would work for me.

Ford is getting closer to what I want, but I don't see the Supercab yet. Hopefully, they will still come out with the Tremor option. I am still looking at 2025 for my purchase. Maybe by then Ford will come through for me.

It would be just my luck that they would have the Supercab without the V6 option.

I'm thinking 270hp 4 banger is more power then I've ever had in a Ranger... including my V8 swapped truck. Now if they offered a NA V6... with those numbers... I'd be interested.

Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.

  • Ford raises the bar again for midsize truck customers seeking adventure with a fully redesigned 2024 Ford Ranger® engineered Built Ford Tough®, with a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine and more powerful available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6*, plus new driver assist technologies and features to make driving easier both on- or off-road
  • Ranger offers available advanced towing technology, including class-exclusive** Pro Trailer Backup Assist, an integrated trailer brake controller and 360-degree camera to make off-roading and trailer backing easier; it also improves over time with over-the-air updates
  • Get gear to the next adventure with new features like an available Integrated Box Side Step, new fold-flat rear seats to easily carry big stuff in the cab, greater width between the wheel wells to flat-carry cargo up to four feet wide, plus in-bed and in-cab outlets provide the ability to power various tools and devices
  • Ford is the No. 1 selling pickup manufacturer globally*** and the all-new Ranger is a key part of Ford’s winning global truck portfolio. Ranger is sold in more than 180 markets around the world
DEARBORN, Mich., May 10, 2023 – Proven globally to be ready for adventure, the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger pickup is made to enable owners to do more of what they love outdoors, with smart new features to explore new places and take on new challenges. It’s the most connected and capable Ranger ever and the only midsize pickup Built Ford Tough.

Ford has engineered each aspect of the all-new Ranger to meet the uncompromising demands of its adventure-craving customers, including its frame, suspension, powertrains, connectivity, and advanced driver assist software.



The Ford brand sold more than 1 million pickups around the world in 2022 and part of that sales success comes from Ranger. In the last decade Ranger sales have increased 112 percent globally, with over 86,000 sold so far this year.

The previous generation 2023 Ranger was recently recognized by Kelley Blue Book® for having the lowest five-year total cost of ownership in the midsize pickup truck segment when accounting for insurance, maintenance costs, fuel costs, and depreciation.

To meet the evolving needs of its adventure-seeking North American customers, the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger now offers more towing technology than ever in a Ranger, convenient storage features, plus an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6* for added power.

Ranger Ready

The foundation of Ranger backcountry readiness is durability and reliability. To ensure the all-new Ford Ranger is Built Ford Tough, it’s been tested with the equivalent of more than 4.9 million customer miles prior to launch – from broken road surfaces in Australia, to harsh hauling, brutal towing and hot testing in America, and cold testing in New Zealand.

In designing the backbone of Ranger, Ford engineers improved the truck’s fully boxed high-strength steel frame, with the wheelbase and track both stretched about two inches to provide more bed space and improved stability while remaining easy to navigate on trails.

The rear shocks and shock mounts have also been moved outboard of the frame rails for improved ride and control. All versions of the Ranger also benefit off-road from improved ground clearance and better approach and departure angles.

From day trips to multi-day journeys, the all-new Ranger is ready to bring gear to wherever the next adventure lies, with a maximum available towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and maximum available payload capacity of 1,805 pounds††.

To power these adventures, the proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost continues as the standard engine, developing 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque†††, and Ranger will offer the available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6* shared with F-150® and Bronco®, which produces 315 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque††† to provide customers more power when towing, passing, and off-roading. All Rangers come with a standard class-exclusive** 10-speed automatic SelectShift® transmission and an available electronic shift-on-the-fly 4×4 system built for on-demand off-road and low traction capability.

More Ranger, More Ready

The all-new Ranger introduces more clever storage and useful features for owners, like an available wireless charger‡ for mobile devices, a large center console storage bin, big door pockets designed for quick access to frequently used tools and other items, and an available second, upper glovebox to store even more gear. Ranger also has improved second-row storage with under-seat rear cargo bins optimized to make it easy to stash stuff. New fold-flat rear seatbacks help with loading and moving large objects, from coolers to large screen TVs, plus there’s room behind the seats to keep tools and other equipment.



The new interior features upgraded materials and textures, improved fit and finish, and more purposeful technology. The experience starts with a standard 8-inch digital instrument cluster or available full-screen 12.4-inch cluster and is complemented by a standard 10.1-inch or best-in-class** available 12-inch center touchscreen with Ford’s SYNC®4A system, which puts smart and connected features at your fingertips. Ranger includes a standard embedded 4G LTE modem and the convenience of features built into FordPass® Connect‡‡.


With just a touch, drivers can access dedicated screens for drive modes, off-road data, navigation, music, and other vehicle controls. The center screen is also linked to the available 360-degree camera to help make parking a breeze or to assist when negotiating particularly tricky terrain while out exploring. Physical buttons and knobs below the screen simplify controlling commonly accessed features like climate control and radio volume.

Devices can be easily charged with two USB ports in the cab and an available wireless charge pad‡. Ranger also gets better over time with over-the-air updates adding new features and capabilities to enhance the customer experience.

At night to help set up a campsite with ease, Ranger now has available Zone Lighting that can be controlled through the in-vehicle touchscreen or FordPass® App‡‡‡, plus available bed lighting helps owners find their gear in dark conditions.

Driving on a trail can be difficult. Driving to it doesn’t have to be. There are 31 standard or available driver assist features for Ranger, the most available driver assist features in its class.** These include BLIS® with Trailer Coverage§ to help alert drivers to vehicles in blind spots and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go§. A new, intuitive-to-use short-throw E-shifter on Lariat 4×4 enables Ranger to offer driver assist features such as available class-exclusive** Active Park Assist 2.0§, which is a fully-automated system to help customers parallel and perpendicular park in tight spots and class-exclusive** Pro Trailer Backup Assist§ and Trailer Reverse Guidance§, which uses cameras to show angles and monitor conditions surrounding the truck, and provides real-time coaching on how to maneuver the trailer.

The bed gets an available Integrated Box Side Step behind the rear tires, big enough to fit both feet, creating a strong, stable way to access everything in the cargo box. There’s also an available 400-Watt power inverter with an outlet in the bed to make running a grill for tailgating, an air compressor for filling tires, or other tools for the trail a snap. The redesigned tailgate also doubles as a workbench with an integrated ruler and clamp pockets. Two inches of added track width have benefits in the bed as well, with more than four feet of width between the wheel wells, which makes loading bulky cargo like an ATV a lot easier.


Bolder Design

The design of Ranger is defined by unique grilles and front-end appearances for XL, XLT and Lariat models. A signature Ford C-clamp headlight treatment and strong shoulder lines down the sides incorporate bolder wheel arches and give Ranger a sure-footed look. The rear end mirrors the front with C-clamp taillamps, and everybody will know what you’re driving with “RANGER” stamped across the tailgate.

The 2024 Ford Ranger will be proudly assembled at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan§§, with orders beginning later this month, and availability beginning late summer, with late fall availability for the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine. Visit Ford.com/RangerReady for more details.





Some of The Changes Over The 2019-2023 Models:

  • 2-inch wider and 2-inch longer wheelbase
  • Optional 2.7-liter 315-horspower V6
  • More storage under the rear seats
  • Fold down rear seats for more room to mover large objects
  • 12-inch center touchscreen
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Integrated Box Side Step behind the rear tires
  • Available 400-Watt power inverter with an outlet in the bed
  • Integrated ruler and clamp pockets in the tailgate
  • 3.4-inches more width in bed between the wheel wells (now 48.2-inches)
  • 360-degree camera
  • Zone lighting

Nada

They even quit taking manual Bronco orders, I think for the rest of the year.

Without looking into it much at all it seems like a lot of people were having issues with them. They blamed redoing the plant for the new Ranger though.

Meh... Some evolutionary minor improvements, but nothing exciting. And the 5 foot bed makes me want to put my '98 long bed back together!

Hope the V6 is available with a supercab, On paper that seems like a excellent engine. Ive no need or interest in a crew cab, really if they brought back a reg cab /7’ bed Id really go for that. Oddly enough I never thought Id want anything other than a super cab but my last 3 rangers were all reg cab longbeds and the longer bed is worth having less cab, always wanted to build a supercab longbed but thats a lot of effort to gain 1ft of bed length. Not that I can afford a new truck right now anyways, I was hoping 2019’s might be affordable by now. Nope- unless its totalled beyond repair. Maybe if I found 2, one with severe front end damage and the other with major rear-end damage and I cut & weld the “good” halves together.

I’ll have to play with the builder app just to see things.

I’m not a fan of that huge screen replacing all the manual controls on the dash. The screen breaks, you’re S.O.L. and now you have to take off your gloves to operate the controls.

I get it, city folks and the average suburbanite want all that crap and Ford is going to cater more to where the customer base is. I don’t like it but I get it.

OK so what I've seen and read so far the 2024 will only be available in crew cab and with the 5ft bed. I know that's a deal breaker for some of you. Hopefully they will introduce the crew and a 6ft and a super with a 6ft in the future but not in 2024.
