Which will bring up the inevitable question, can the ROW tank be swapped in to an NA model?
Depending upon the cost I wouldn't deem it worthwhile for 3 gallons. Just another disappointing lack of a feature. But possibly it becomes part of an optional package for the 2.7l so who the hell knows.
I have a Maverick and absolutely hate the twist knob! It's 1 of the main reasons I was looking at upgrading to Ranger. Now I expect a bunch of people to chime in about how they love it, but they probably don't switch back and forth between 3 (sometimes 4 counting the RV) vehicles like I do. The Maverick gets driven far less than my Grand Cherokee DD and lately even less than our F-150. It is a PIA relearning the position of that knob each time.
It's a diesel tank, and they require different things than a petrol tank.
agreed. I'd rather have a stalk or even a standard transmission than the twisty knob or the in-dash PRNDL (like some GM vehicles)
Only brag needed at this point: They beat Toyota by a weekI was hoping for more than what they gave us, that's for sure. Outside of the Raptor, what features can Ford brag about vs the competition in this reveal? One more engine option that will be available somewhere down the line? BLIS for trailers? 400w power? Is that really what they want to hang their hats on for a reveal?
I'm desperately hoping they will be adding more colors to the mix, because their colorizer right now is showing: grey, grey, grey, silver, white, black, hot pepper red, and velocity blue. 3 different forms of grey?! Don't get me wrong, I like and appreciate the azure grey and cactus grey, but "come on man!"
We haven't known everything, we've speculated on everything. We go off what they put out into the world with their test mules, we try to extrapolate from past interviews, and we see what ROW has had and try to make sense of it for the American market. When test mules show different colors, when past interviews talk about hybrid drivetrains, when ROW has a substantially larger gas tank, and when the reveal gives none of that while the competition has announced it? Yeah, that's a disappointing reveal.
I am holding out hope for Eruption Green considering we have seen test mules with different colors than what they have listed currently on the launch page.
I am also holding out hope for cooled seats because, in the center console image of the Lariat, the seat buttons don't have a fixed heat icon on them; so hopefully that means three levels of red for warm and three levels of blue for cool. That is a BIG feature for me and me chronically-toasty buns.
There are probably way more than you think. Why bother to build a Ranger you can't carry anything in? Might as well just buy a Bronco.
I had some time to watch some of the videos.
It's not that 4x4 auto is only on the Raptor, but the standard 4x4 no longer has a standard 2 speed transfer case. You now have to pay extra when you get a 4x4 if you want 4L. I kid you not.
