You did a really good job on explaining how that truck works
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the rundown. Mine arrives tomorrow!
Glad it helped! Hope you end up loving the new ride! Is it the first time you've owned a Ranger?
@@CarsWithSteve yes it is. I’m a Tacoma convert. Just drove to work for the first time. Absolutely thrilled!
@@LB-kk3kw Always nice hearing people loving a change! Hope you enjoy the new ride!
Waiting for my Ranger to come in just a few months, and this rundown of features only made me more excited! Great job and very helpful!
That's great Mike, glad you enjoy the video! What build did you end up going with for yours?
@@CarsWithSteve XL build with all terrains
@@Mike_Lorusso Nice and simple! Hope you enjoy it when it gets here
Mike, How long a wait? I am going to order one on Monday and wondering what to expect.
@@jcstevensva if you order for a factory build it’s typically about 4 months, that’s with very specific features and your dealership doesn’t have one that specific on the lot
Great review! I just bought one of these...looks like it does way more than what I thought
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it! It's pretty great what these can do, especially when you get that larger media screen. Hope you enjoy the new truck!
I guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
Thanks. I learned something about the radio.
You're welcome!
Just bought mine on Friday and I pick it up on Tuesday. So excited...
That's great Jeff! Did you go for the SuperCab XL as well?
@@CarsWithSteve I did, had a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback that I had issues getting into at my older age and always wanted a truck so I went with it.
@@jeffreychapple5705 Going to be such a huge difference having the truck as your daily driver! Have a blast when you pick it up tomorrow
Like the super cab with a longer bed!!!👌🏜️🏞️👍
But the back seats 🤣 although to be fair.. 90% of the time I'm alone in the car so it wouldn't matter at all
Awesome review.
Thanks Max, appreciate that! Have you already grabbed your Ranger or in the market for one now?
Very informative review! Recently purchased a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT with FX4 / Blackout Packages. First time Ford owner, a month in and loving my New Ranger!
Thanks so much! That blackout package is so nice! Glad you're enjoying yours so far and curious.. what were you driving before?
My previous car was a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T, was a logical purchase when i lived in Southern California, since relocating to Northeastern Oklahoma winters are harsher thus the upgrade to the Ranger.
@@fx4native492 The gene is a great car! One of my buddies still has a 2012 and loves it.
Great call on the change over with the move! If you get the urge to shoot an owner or offroad video feel free to send it my way
Thanks!,
You're welcome!
Just bought one of these 2 months ago and I love it. BIG upgrade from my 2010 Ranger. I didn't get the FX4 model because it was unavailable. Mine is the STX and it's perfectly fine for my driving habits. I got a factory rubber mat for the bed from the dealer for FREE. I kind of disagree with your comments about the seat positioning for tall people. I'm 6'3" and I prefer the seat raised up all the way then tilted back a little more. But hey, to each his own.
Thanks so much for the feedback on the seats! With the seat up do you find that you're rubbing your head on the roof of the car at all?
Great that you were able to snag a free rubber bed mat! How are you liking the STX compared to your old 2010?
@@CarsWithSteve My head doesn't hit the roof. I still have a couple inches to spare with the seat tilted back a little. I LOVE this truck. I mostly drive in the city and a little on the highway. My old 2010 Ranger didn't even have power windows, if that tells you anything. Pretty sure it was made for sale in Canada. A lot of French language here and there.
@@LAIRDO- Good to know! I'll make sure to mention that when I'm shooting a Ranger video going forward. Wow it's wild how many people own their Rangers for 10+ years. Hopefully this one treats you well
like your style. have watched many of your videos...
Thanks! 🙏 Curious.. anything else you'd want to see covered off in the videos?
@@CarsWithSteve lol... it is impossible to think of one... you have covered EVERYTHING... even the aftermarket fuel cap for Ford capless fuel filler... you have done a GREAT JOB here...
@@XChaoticComposerX Haha thanks!
I thought Ford only offered the FX4 trim in Supercrew. I do prefer the Supercab since I rarely have passengers.
Nope, it's available across the entire vehicle lineup for all trims. XL / XLT / Lariat in the SuperCrew or SuperCab
If you don't really use the space that bigger box is always handy to have
@@eaglestryker1338 That's right, the US does have SuperCrew / SuperCab availability across the trim level lineup! I made sure to make that reference in my upcoming 2022 model walkaround video.
Love the color
Such a great color!
@@CarsWithSteve What is the name of the colour?
@@Randetroit Velocity blue
You didnt drive the ranger this time around. Great review. Will be buying this when i become an engineer in time. Keep them coming. Watching all the way from Souty (South Africa)
It's so wild that the videos are finding their way to you guys out there... glad you enjoyed it! I have the drive review video coming out in a few weeks so stay tuned ;)
@@CarsWithSteve I'm impatiently waiting for the upload. Once again, thank you for the amazing content.
@@earlneeno3696 You're welcome!
I thought the backseat space would be smaller. Not bad actually 😮
Bit tighter than the SuperCrew but still a good amount of space
Nice review. Hoping to grab a ‘21 XL in Race Red from my local dealership tomorrow. I’ve owned Rangers since ‘99. Currently have an 01 and 05 which I’ll sell after buying this new one. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Going from one of the old body styles to this.. you'll find this way more spacious. It's cool seeing folks who love the older truck staying with it in the newer model!
Traded my '01 in on a 2020, really like the new truck except for terrible fuel mileage ! The '01 had a powerful v6 that got 25ish mpg. New one.....started @ 17mpg !
@@daghostxxx1797 Wow that fuel mileage is really different. Oy. I know you just bought but keep your eyes out for the new Maverick over the next few months. Smaller than the Ranger, better mileage and comes standard with a hybrid drive train
@@CarsWithSteve Will probably get 8mpg !
@@daghostxxx1797 Lol! Rated at 40 mpg for the hybrid version
I am enjoying my 2003 Ford Ranger Edge (with 4WD HI/LO). An upgrade to something like this would be awesome. :)
Haha those old Rangers are great! What mileage do you have on it? The Ranger is getting an upgrade.. slightly better Tech with a new look!
@@CarsWithSteve 177000+ it is really nice pickup truck. But upgrade would be nice 😉
@@goodingwashington6099 that's awesome! Haha those Rangers can take a beating. The 2023 is getting a bit of an upgrade!
Very in-depth!
However, when you showed the driver's door panel, it looked like there are no window controls for the rear windows to lower or raise them.
Is that an XL-only thing, or do all the new Rangers not have that on the SuperCab configuration?
Good catch on that and it's because the window adjust isn't on the side door! If you look just to the left of the instrument cluster screen by the driver dash vent you'll see the controls there
@@CarsWithSteve
Are you talking about the 4-way power mirror adjustment switch? That controls the rear windows, too?
I drove a new Ranger for a while, but it was the 4-door and the rear window controls were on the door panel.
Oh man I just realized I misread your comment 🥴 That switch by the vent is for the sideview mirrors
The SuperCab doesn't have window controls because the windows are locked in place but the SuperCrew would have the controls there
@@CarsWithSteve
It's all good!
Well dang. I didn't know they were fixed in place.
I am thinking of buying the 2021 ranger xl super cab but it is not available and to do it the procedure is 10 to 12 weeks
Yeah that’s pretty standard right now for factory orders. Dealers can trade though or you could always search the Ford website for models available near you!
Mine is sick they are fast .
Nice! What engine does yours have?
Do you have to have heated seats with a sliding rear window?
Not at all! The rear sliding window is available on all trim levels - even the XL SuperCab base
I might get one
If you're after a simple truck it's a good option. What are you in right now?
I drive a suburu forester
@@careywurdinger5238 Will definitely be a bit of a difference. Take one for a spin though, it's a great ride!
Carey, save $$$ for fuel, this truck gets worse mileage than the full-size ! Sits in my yard, unless I have to drive it !!! 17mpg - new
@@daghostxxx1797 really . I m probley keep my car because gas is too high . yeah good thinking because everything is cost so damm much . thanks
bunny on the right of the truck at 3:16
Wow great catch!!! I had to watch it three times to see that
Adding sync 3 to the xl stx package is a bad move for Ford. It will cut into sales on the xlt. Sync 3 with android auto was one of the main reasons I went with my xlt.
I don't think it will hurt them much. The XLT has a nicer exterior, better interior options like heated power adjustable seats, reverse sensing system.
There definitely will be people that will stick with the XL base but I don't see the XLT being dethroned anytime soon
Where is the 4dr link?
Must have missed those - will add them in now but here you go:

Would love for ford to offer a supercab Lariat with a rear seat delete option. The supercab is completely useless with seats period. Hope ford really improves the next gen ranger. They need to have or offer so many more options compared to other fords and manufacturers. I loved my past rangers. They were awesome trucks. Love the color and wheels on this model though.
Haha agree with you on the rear seats. They almost remind me of the comfort of the back seat for Mustangs! A rear seat delete option would be great!
Have you checked out the upcoming Ford Maverick yet? If you're looking for a smaller size it could be worth hanging off for a year until this is released
Exactly! I was discussing what I wanted with dealer and said I don't want a back seat. They don't give a choice.
I bought a 96, it was totaled by some lady and I bought a 2002 which I own now. Really great truck. I can't see how I'd ever need anything bigger.
But, going with Lariat with my order this time. Just give me comfort.
@@jcstevensva It would be easy enough for the dealer to rip the seats out prior to delivery. Heck, do it yourself and then just hang onto them or sell them off!
The Lariat has some pretty good features to it. What options do you think you'll go for?
@@CarsWithSteve I'd like a real shut-off button for the useless "stop & go" option !
@@daghostxxx1797 Ahh that would be nice! There's technically a way to disable it but it could void your warranty if it's traced back to that switch
Thank you for posting better bed dimensions than ford!!!
Haha you're welcome!
Bad idea having climate control settings on the touch screen. The mechanism relative to the conventional analog system is more likely to divert driver attention off the traffic and is more complex. Besides, touchscreen are prone to freeze.
The majority of the climate settings are a bit further down with the old school style buttons. Touch screen is where a lot of cars are going, especially as tech evolves. I haven't heard many stories of people's media screens freezing and that doesn't come up in forums much at all
I love this, every detail we need here but can you mention the prices of the cars you review? Thanks!
Thanks so much! If you look in the description of the video it outlines the price of the car that was driven as well as links to the build on both Ford USA and Canada
@@CarsWithSteve ah ok
@@sparklyqueen12 I just realized that I don't actually tell people to look at the description for that info during the video at all so I'll start mentioning it in videos going forward
What difference supercab vs supercab xl sir?
Hi Saddam. The SuperCab is available in the XL or XLT trim level - each one has a few different options available. The Ranger is also available as a SuperCrew.
The main difference between the SuperCab and SuperCrew are box size and doors. SuperCab has a 6 foot box with 2 full and 2 half doors while the SuperCrew has a 5 foot box with 4 full doors
@@CarsWithSteve thank you sir for your information, you are great salesman. Ihope you achieve your selling target n get a big bonus. Have a good day sir.🙏
@@saddamstyawan3316 Appreciate the kind words!
The XL is the trim level of the SuperCab version.
Comprehensive
Thank you!
I guess i'll hang on to my 2010 F150, 4.8v3 for another 200,000 miles
Hah those older F150s and Rangers were tanks if they're taken care of properly. The new Maverick is coming out soon - bit smaller than the F150 but at a much lower price point than the Ranger
I bought the XLT Supercab, I like most about it except for the rear seat headrests. They block the rear window, they don’t fold down and they’re a bitch to remove.
Hopefully Ford sees this feedback and does something about it for future models
3.17 bunny rabbit runs past truck lol
haha good catch!
Crazy how technology has progressed in the passed years, my ‘02 F-150 5.4L can only tow a maximum of 6500 according to the door jam sticker. 😞 lol
It really is wild how much the tech progresses in cars. The 2002 Mustang GT V8 had 260 hp while the 2022 V8 has 450
Was considering a Tacoma but definitely hesitant.
Pricing wise they're fairly close if you build them with similar specs.. Take one for a spin! If you're regularly driving it off-road look at one with the Tremor or FX4 package.. if it's a daily driver with no off-roading try to find one without those packages
I ordered a 2021 Tacoma and waited 5 months for it. I bought a new Tacoma because I loved my 2007 Tacoma. 2021 not the same. I did not like the lack of power! I was fortunate to be able to sell it for a profit and now have ordered a new 2022 Ranger!
can you do a shorter version of these videos as well?
I've done a shorter version for a few of them. It would make sense though to make a short for all of them though.. Lot of the same tech between the trim levels. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@CarsWithSteve saw the Edge video this week vs last. good mix on the short vs full length
@@mattv8721 Thank you!
The biggest flaw of this car is the steering wheel. The disk space is too small.
Interesting.. that's the first I've heard that comment on the Ranger before. Have you taken it for a spin or just a seen it through videos?
"Check our oil if we need to." ???
Yeah - some people like to check it themselves, most people leave it for their service technician
Please tell me there’s an engine shroud. Looks like a rats nest
HAHA rats nest, hilarious.
Nothing available from the factory but there are some after market options you could get if you really wanted to cover things up
awesome video, but Ford has this truck way overpriced. Their basic base model should be $20k, pricing it the same exact as a toyota tacoma is a bad decision. most people are going to go for the tacoma, which has more features even in the base model.
They stuffed too much into the Ranger to give it that $20k price point but that's where the new Maverick is coming in. I think Ford realized they dropped the ball on pricing for it
