its funny how todays compact trucks are close to the same size as the full size trucks back then
Current ranger is a mid size truck
By funny do you mean sad?
By sad do you mean safe?
The new 2019 Ranger is the same size my 2007 F150 SPORT SIDE REG CAB
@@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY wow! I I wish they still had that size in another model, its nice having a smaller size truck with a full size bed
It feels so good when they finally do an up to speed on the vehicle you own.
Yup. I bought a Crown Vic and then Googled a bunch of Crown Vic stuff. Then CZcams recommended the Crown Vic Up To Speed.... That's actually what turned me on to this channel. Then they did the S10, which I have. Now I gotta wait for the Dakota and Power Wagon... but my Power Wagon is just the 70's pickup.
So true! Just watched the video in my '08 Ranger Danger
lol I wish... I have a brz. they haven't changed
When they did the up to speed video on the jeep wrangler it was pretty disappointing.
06 ranger toreador babbyyyyyyyy
Sold my 1994 Ranger XLT with 5 speed 4.0 liter last year. 4inch lift, light bar, wheel spacers, straight piped. Just the perfect highschool truck.
I added one like when you were at 68
I have a 93 ranger with a 2.3 5 speed manual straight piped
@@bradley4698 nice
Did you perhaps sell it to a man named Cody?
my ford ranger can beat that
“My dad was setting up family franchises!”
Unleashing evil in other women across the country 😉
@Drew & Chan - Yeah... ‘No daddy issues here’; that’s for sure.
I thought maybe “family dollar” since the logo is kinda similar but no, he meant literal families
Give him 25k likes so he’ll do an up to speed on his relationship with his father
yes
@@garagemodz1 yea boi
I'm down!!🤣
We never got up to speed with Jessica
Rspence396 thank god someone said something lmao
You should create a T-shirt with the legend "mo powa bb"
Need that as my ringtone
I would buy
i was thinking exactly that, id buy instantly
That's a great idea!
Baybe*
You have no idea how badly I wanted him to say “FORD F*CKING RANGER” in the intro
Same I was waiting for it
Lord I hate that song
“When my dad put his evil inside of my mom” I laughed so hard when he said that
My dad has a 20 year old ranger XLT that still looks like new. Original owner and lava red/orange with original parts. (AND ITS MANUAL!!!) *LIGHTNING!!* *LIGHTNING!!!* *LIGHTNING!!!!!!!*
Raptor 318 you lost him at my dad haha
We have a neighbor who still have his Ford Ranger 2008 XLT until now, but it undergoes to repaint.
Nice to know someone loves and kept a part of history alive.
I own a 1988 ford ranger 4x4 its my first truck and these things are crazy reliable
Hehe, love the Funhaus symbol easter egg :)
Louie Montinola 😉
Thats clearly a nazi swastika
Imma need a timestamp on that plz
@@carston101 mark at 9 seconds in
He actually also appeared in one of their videos as well.
czcams.com/video/1LdOaxIm42k/video.html
"My dad was setting up family franchises across the nation" literally stole my soul out of my body via laughter...
I remember the 97 ranger, its was rather snappy to drive with a manual transmission and it spun the tires rather easy making it a pretty fun and good utility machine that could get to a healthy 115 mph if you ever where in a real hurry. (My former boss wasn't too thrilled with the short longevity of the rear tires... Yet he kept lending it to me tho.)
I have the 2021 XLT FX4 with 285/70s and I love to drift it, it pulls a trailer like a dream, or you can pull a toyota uphill with its breaks on LOL and get 22 MPG while you are doing it :)
What do you guys think of the 2019 Ranger? Is it worth the wait? James is gonna chain himself to the front door of Ford headquarters until they build him a Splash Edition Raptor with purple and turquoise graphics like those cups from the 90s.
Donut Media do the Ford Explorer
Donut Media what about the Mazda rotary trim, also when are you guys going to do that sweet sweet terminator ?
It would be awesome, IF THEY SOLD IT IN THE US! I don't get how Europe and Australia get the new Rangers but we're stuck with the old ones
About a month a go my family purchased the 2018 ranger wildtrack(leaving in Greece),3.2 and its preety damn good so i personally believe it will be a success
Too big
The Ford Ranger is very popular back here in the Philippines and other South East Asian countries because of its overall features. Very useful in floods, high mountains, or varied terrain.
Ford Rangers are unfortunately very popular within Metro cities like Cebu which sucks because they're huge and space inefficient
I like the FUNHAUS logo in the beginning, nice 'shout out'
Really surprised that there was no mention of the very intriguing front suspension. Having a Dana diff built into the front "traction beam" was something way ahead of it's time.
Sooo... when are we gonna get a "MORE POWA BABY" shirt?
MOAR POWA BABEH
Moar powa babeh
*MORE* *POWAH* *BABAH*
I legit read this when he said it

Cheeky little FunHaus shoutout at the beginning
Yep, it was nice
You mean that Nazi logo?
Funhaus!!
@@williamruiz9186 idk, AH determined it's a Nazi logo. The comparison is uncanny
Think about a Raptor Ranger... jesus. Tiny pissed off truck. Me want and I'm not even a Ford guy.
Imagine that. A new ranger with a 3.5eb!
Google it, they have one
Looks sick when you lift it
Ranger Raptor is sold in my country because full size trucks aren't popular here czcams.com/video/k7UPaiqdaC0/video.html
Should call it the ranger microraptor
Love our new 19 Ranger XLT FX4 crew cab in bright black! We've owned it 4mos & it's even more popular in our family than our '17 F150 Platinum 4wd. Ranger is very sporty / high tech & feels bank vault solid. It's powertrain is outstanding..so refined & powerful. Home run Ford!
No
Yeah no.. 3rd gen ford rangers were their last best run
Your engine will not last. Lmao
Up to speed on the Mitsubishi PAJERO!
Yahya Alghamdi YES
Americans doesn't get Pajeros.
Inspecktor F we got the Montero it is the same thing
Yeeeeeees pleaseeee
Mitsubishi I 200 Warrior trim and Barabarian trim
I just want this truck to go back to being a mini truck :(
Same. also the fact that the new one has a 10-speed Auto and all that extra horsepower and torque compared to my 2011 4.0L 5spd auto, mine still keeps up or sometimes beats em 0-80.... And then also despite all the technology they still can't get a 4 banger truck to get 30+mpg 🤦🏼♂️
JoeIsCrazyWillman one day my 280k original 96 2.3 danger ranger will stop making compression, but not today. I’ve been riding that lame joke for so long it has become cool. Best 0 dollars ever spent. In fact after getting rear ended and later getting hit by an enraged mustang that stopped inches from my front door, that ranger has cost me -1200 dollars. Neither accident left a mark that a 4lb hammer couldn’t remove.
I put a turbo barra in my 02 courier.
Good luck any new ranger catching that 😂
I just bought a 2009 Ranger with a V6 I never like pickup trucks unfortunately I have to give this one to my son because I told him I would when I bought it at least I got to take it through McDonald's drive-thru before I gave it to him
@@TheLexiconDevils where'd you end up picking up a Barra?
or are you in AUS?
This is my favorite episode of Up To Speed, my grandfather had a little red 1998 Ford Ranger and I loved getting to ride in that little truck so this brought back some really great memories ❤️❤️
I know the feeling I remember growing up in the backseat of my dad's 92 GMC Jimmy (Chevy blazer) and now that I'm a adult I still stop and drool over every first gen s10 I see because of that memory
I’ve been a ford guy for my last 3 vehicles and just got the new ranger last month. So far, I love it. Happy to learn about the history of ford and the ranger as well. Thanks for making this video, good job!
Yesterday, my dad went to hospital bcs of heart issue. I need to work in the morning while trying to claim his health insurance through papers and stuffa, I was so tired *both physically and mentally* , just before I went to sleep, I decided to watch a video or two.. which I thank myself for doing it. This is a very good and entertaining video, you guys actually put a smile on my face. Thanks donut, thanks James.
Love from Indonesia. 😊 (btw, It is already 01.19 am here)

AYE that funhaus reference!!!!!
I recently bought a ford ranger off Craigslist for 1500 it’s my first truck and it’s awesome. It a 5 speed and it has a custom stereo. Sadly I can’t drive it yet because I turn 16 in 1 month but I’ve learned to drive stick in a Walmart parking lot and it’s the best feeling ever.
Enjoy your freedom. Nothing like your first vehicle. Dont drink and drive and wear a condom, we dont want you to have to trade in that little bad boy in for a mommy mobile.
Nice find!
Gonna be the best truck you get if it’s the I-4. Sure, some electronics fail on it but the engines solid.
@@wesleymatthews6356 words of wisdom Lloyd, words of wisdom.

enjoy it.
don't crash it.
keep making it better.
don't sell it. when you get older, you'll wish you hung on to your first vehicle.
Love the way you present the program, very informative, love the sense of humor, there isn't anyone better, thank you,keep it up,🙏👍👍😀❤️❤️

Funhaus in the beginning? Nice
Was just about to say that hahaha :D Don't know if was that intentional or not thoe ?
they've been in each other's videos before, and are both LA based
Wat!? I wanna see that! Any specific ones I should look up?

Probably the best bowl of Mac n Cheese you've ever had.
You guys are great at educating the evolution of Cars & it's manufacturering line up but I like the way you present us as public. & I appreciate every inch of hard work you guys have taken in the past, present & all the very best wishes for your future. Jai Corona stay safe & stay healthy. 🤩
Thanks for the video. I built the Ranger from 92 to 2004 also the Mazda B series in Edison NJ along with Twin cities and Louisville production. But all Mazda’s were built at Edison. They were great little trucks built by people who did take extra pride in what we were building.
I have one of the ones you built in twin cities.
God i love Up to Speed
God damn, I love you too
"when my dad put his evil in my mom" is hands down the funniest thing that James has said so casually
I'm watching a Ford Ranger Up to Speed with an Ford Ranger ad..
Same
I always found the Ranger strange. I'm British and pickups don't usually sell well in the UK and Europe. Instead, you got a Transit or a panel van. But the Ranger started to pick up sales in recent years and are becoming common for construction companies and workers. So it was a bit of a shock when I suddenly started to see more Rangers on British roads but I guess thats just a show of the times now.
How many bits live in Britain?
I thought it was a immigration center.
Allah akbar.... boom
May the queen rot in hell
Because Trucks are much better then Vans and the Uk finally sees it! Took them long enough!
@@joshuaallswang8016 trucks really aren't any better than panel vans
@@TheTallOne890there's a reason why trucks are more popular than vans in America. Glad to see the Europeans have taken notice.
@juliomaldonado4028 trucks are more popular because people think they need something capable of hauling heavy things and going off-road when, in reality, it's literally just a pavement princess and never sees any kind of hauling
(0:09) the Logo of “Funhaus”, NICE
Lol
I used to watch those guys but they got way too perverted around 2 years ago
Good to know I am not the only one who noticed this. I can only imagine what would happen if Adam and the gang co hosted an episode of up to speed (since they are in LA)

I owned a 1987 ranger with the 2.9 V6 and a 5 speed manual, and that thing was like a go kart on mud tires. It was lifted on 31's. One of the most fun vehicle I've ever gotten to drive.
Loved the episode i am a proud owner of a ford courier currently restoring it but always appreciate when i see it getting talked about

James and his obsession with Post Malone’s birthday.... I like it😂
7:18 - Got an XLT, and that's pretty much how it feels. Apparently, AC was still optional in those models too.
My very first vehicle was a 1983 Ford Ranger XL. It had the 2.0L, 4 speed transmission, and a 456 rear end. The build date on it was was 06/1982 making it one of the first Ranger's built. It has to be the toughest little truck I have ever owned and trust me I put it to the test all the time. Totally miss that truck!
I inherited a 1986 2wd 2.3 ranger. Put in a new clutch flywheel ect. Dash says 94k probably 394 idk still runs has 6x9s behind the seat and a saddle blanket seat cover i love it.

If you're doing the Ranger you need to do the Toyota Hilux!! Yes its different to a Tacoma
Please do an up to speed on the Toyota Hilux
Used to drive a Hilux around Baghdad (BIAP to be specific). It was a truck left behind by Saddam's cronys. Cracked windshield, dents, etc., but it kept going. Being that it wasn't one of our trucks brought in, had to use a gas card from another vehicle just to fill her up. I actually brought wipers for it on one of my trips. Maintenance? What maintenance.?. Again, being off the books meant no money to maintain. Thing is, it kept running. Year after year, through hot and cold, sandstorms, and zero maintenance, it kept running. Brand new GMC trucks died roughly three months in that environment, but that Toyota wouldn't die. Long live the Hilux!
I think they just feature vehicles that are sold in US, mainly ford ranger was just released in 2019 and i think hilux will never be in US soil
Jayson La Faber it's been done. It's under 4Runner. Same as hilux surf.
rex llanes hilux will never... Can't compete with 2.7 ltr and same tray size. But it's a #1 in places like Australia, New Zealan, South Africa etc followed by Toyotas Landcruiser 79 which will also never make Us market. Canada has Hilux tho.
And to add US market doesn't seem to like Diesel engine so much nowadays so that plays a part too.
I love these videos, they are funny and informative at same time 😂🤓
My grandfather left me his 1996 ranger when he passed away. 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual. Just recently had to install a timing belt and spark plugs and wires. The *factory plugs and wires* where still in the engine. 23 years later, they still worked. 100,000 miles.

Man this video is great! Just bought the 2020 ford ranger XLT with lariat trim and I’m in love with it.
Working on getting a new engine in my 1990 4L Ranger, this video was super entertaining, thank you!
I saw a new one on my way to school...I followed it instead of going to class. I still haven’t gone to class. Its 8:33 and now I’m watching this. So I’m still content.
This truck is really popular outside the US
they sell very well in South America, and has fierce competition from toyota (hilux) and Volkswagen (amarok).
Yeah its really unfortunate that the only options for a newish small truck in the US is a Frontier or Tacoma.

“Everything you need to know about the Ranger” except for mentioning the Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab **4.0L** V6 4x4 with a 5-speed Manual making you 207HP AND 238ft-lbs.
Frl, I have that exact truck and he just completely skipped the 3rd gen ranger specifics
Right! I just bought a 5mt v6 4x4 ranger and came here to hear james hype it up. I am dissapointed
Most of these episodes are for entertainment sadly. Not accuracy
Too bad the Mazda 4.0 is a turd
@@Will-fr5du seriously! I came watched this video because I have that exact truck but it wasn't mentioned. Am sad. :(

I still own a 1994 Ranger Splash my parents got for me my senior year in high school. It's black, single cab, 3.0 V6/5 speed manual. I've done a few mods though - lowered 6/7, Mustang GT 17" wheels, Xenon roll pan molded into the body, clear headlight lenses/corner lenses, '00 style taillights, and of course, an aftermarket headunit. I absolutely love that truck. I'll have it til the day I croak.
