Odd 2026 Ranger video. Total BS or is some of it actually true?

[cc1999]

Watched this video this evening, supposedly outlining the changes to the 2026 Ranger.
A lot of it I would say’s is some AI BS . Like the part about the shifter. Total BS least as far as 2026 goes, and how it works, etc. etc.
‘Curious though about some of the other stuff.
‘Pretty sure most if not all of it is AI BS.

Already tired of trying to distinguish what is AI BS and what is real these days.
Sad thing is AI is just getting started. I am afraid in a couple years we won’t be able to tell fact from AI generated fiction. Lol

Curious what you guys think about this one.

It’s clearly AI trash

Almost all incorrect for example no sync 5

no pro power

but it is true, the fx4 is now an option on the xl

I don't know where they got it, but they're right about 2 things- The Ranger Seat foam is TRASH, and the throttle response is potentially Fatal. I'm using a Banks pedal monster. If i had to go back to stock, I'd sell the Truck.

So 2026 gets Sync 5? I heard still 4A.

I am continually pissed off that Ford hasn't offered the 2.7L and Fx4 in the XL trim. Their excuse that the XL is only a work truck and doesn't need those options is complete corporate horseshit, of course.

Thanks!
Sort of what I thought.
That was one of the few things in there I was not sure on if it was total AI BS or not.

Some of the very very few things that were sort of correct, actually had happened on the 2025 model, not new for 26. Like the shifter in the Lariat did change to the mechanical shifter in 25.
The Raptor is still electronic even for 26, and no mater which shifter you have the down shifting function is always electronic controlled. lol Clearly making the AI logic on the pros of the mechanical shifter total BS. Lol

Another thing to keep in mind.... I would assume that the next step after Sync 4A would be the "Ford Digital Experience" which is currently used on the Explorer and Expedition.

Nice !
I am going to start checking those transcripts now.
‘That is great find, I never thought to check that before.
‘Thanks!

A lot of the “2026 Changes” were already capabilities on the ‘24’s and ‘25’s . . .
