No, Ford has said Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will still be supported. This new Apple Maps support becomes the new native navigation instead of what you see today.

True, until 2029 when it becomes the F-100.

I upgraded from a 2020 Ranger to my 2026 Ranger XLT in Desert Sand. You have excellent taste. Loving my 2026.

Agreed. It is a minor NVH issue that has a simple work around (start in neutral) if one is concerned about it. More important things in life to worry about. The 6G Ranger is a great truck.

I put these on my 2026 Ranger. Added the optional embroidered US Flag and they look nice. I like them.

I agree and don’t think those designs will age well.

Don’t think so. Farley just made a big commitment to the Aussie’s largely because of the smashing success of their Ranger SD. The Aussie’s will rightly so have the lead on the F-100. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be styled to match the F-150. I expect you’re right about that.

Additional tidbits is that F-100s will use the beefed up frame from the Ranger SD. But, there will likely be two versions. An F-100 Standard Duty (or call it light duty) which would be much like today's Ranger but it will utilize the beefed up frame. And there will be an F-100 Super Duty which...

I've had my 2026 XLT in my backyard.

Wow, I'm guessing there must have been other things you didn't like about your Ranger. For me, the clunk issue is a minor NVH issue for which I have found a very easy workaround to prevent it. I love this truck and would not abandon it for this minor issue.

I have not noticed trailers having reverse lights (at least not in North America). Here is what I found online: "Most standard trailers do not come with reverse lights as a factory feature. While some newer RVs or specialized utility trailers are beginning to include them, they are not legally...

Here is an explanation from Ford that was posted in a similar/duplicate thread: https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/transmission-%E2%80%9Cbanging%E2%80%9D-noise-and-jerk.28931/post-450529

That was a common complaint with with earlier versions of BlueCruise. The later versions of BlueCruise moves you to increase distance from the semi when passing. It would be nice if this tweak could be incorporated into Lane Centering. Lane Centering gives you 15 seconds of grace time when you...

"Lane Keeping" and "Lane Centering" are two different things: Ford Lane-Keeping System and Lane Centering are two distinct technologies. Lane-Keeping is a safety net that bumps you back only when you start drifting. Lane Centering is an active convenience feature that continuously steers the...

I didn't realize those gauges were available (or forgot about them). Thanks for pointing them our in your post.

I’m reminded that Ford said TTP will begin truck production in 2029. That could mean 2027 and 2028 will be the last production years for the North American Ranger in its current form.

A hybrid Maverick already exists but a new version of the Maverick could incorporate UEV elements. The UEV truck (a.k.a. Skunk Truck) can be viewed as a Maverick EV. More insider info suggested that "Maverick EV" or "Ranchero" are the two names being debated for the Skunk Truck.

No, me either. I'm betting that the F-100 will be much like the Ranger we know today but with Ranger SD underpinnings, a lot more configurations and hybrid power train(s). Think smaller F-150 (i.e. F-100). Yes, lots of speculation. But some of the key posts are from insiders with a history on BOF.

Bumping this older thread because there is some interesting information (from reliable sources) about the Ford Ranger's future. I provided a link for the discussion on Blue Oval Forum below but here is the short version: Production of the Ford Ranger at the Michigan Assembly Plant (MAP) will...

I suspect that the action of moving the transmission to neutral causes some kind of transmission software reset that prevents the clunk.
