"The standard single-range electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESF) four-wheel-drive system can be upgraded to a part-time system with low range."
Yeah, that an over $5000 increase from last years base price. Absolutely nuts!!!Super Crew, short bed only misses the target for me. Only hope now is they continually roll out more options over time like the rest of the worldHow is a fleet buyer or tradesman supposed to prefer this over alternatives with a $34k starting price? Head scratcher there. At least this takes the pressure off to move fast on early ordering.
Maybe. I said this too the wife earlier that I feel Ford tanked/taking
100% agree with you on wanting a SuperCrew/longbed. I too have no interest in a full-size truck and prefer a midsize in a crewcab/longbed configuration. I also have a motorcycle, Mtn bikes, kayaks and paddle boards I haul in the bed. Having and overall shorter truck that has a longer bed than the base crewcab full-size is a no brainer to me. Looks like Nissan and Toyota are the only options now. Based on what Toyota has teased (hybrid), Iâll likely end up on a new Tacoma? The launch was a swing and miss for me unfortunately.
Well last year's was a SuperCab, but still if you compare the 2023 base XL SuperCrew to the '24 it has gone up about $3000. That's an outrageous increase.
The Ranger stealing sales from the F-150 should be the least of Fordâs concerns at this point. Ford needs to worry about people like me who will likely leave the brand entirely. Making less money (the difference between midsize and full-size) isnât bad vs. ZERO profit!
They've misinterpreted the Ford press release. 4x2 is standard, with optional shift on the fly 4x4 with low range. There's no 4x4 available without low range. The other available item is the rear differential lock.
Just like a possible Tremor. One more year of agonizing waiting. Ugghh!
The teasers area silhouettes at this point but there have been some camo'ed prototypes driving around that obviously have a longer bed. I think it helps that they have much higher volume than the other guys so they can afford to offer more configurations.
Current Ranger is 34.5 I think.... new one is 38.X I can't remember what it said for sure. Apparently the wheelbase and trach added 2 inches, but yes all the ones saying it was the same appear to be wrong. The current one is really tight.... the maverick has more legroom just not as much width. Watching some of the reviews you can tell it is larger back there for sure.
Sorry to be blunt on this, but your angst is self-inflicted here
Nobody told you to wait 20 years and then put all of your eggs in the 6G Ranger basket. Where else does a person do that in their lives? 100% of available evidence around the globe points to an incremental launch over time. Label it how you will, and certainly do what is best for you and consider other vehicles that can check all your boxes, but just don't let emotions destroy you over this when all potential competitors aren't even released, reviewed and fully vetted yet. I started casually looking at Frontier on line yesterday and may sneak into a dealer to check 1 out. I'm fully aware it also has less of what I really want to consider it a substantial upgrade over my Maverick, but the drivetrain, lack of too much tech, Supercab (King) and $7k lower than Ranger MSRP are appealing.
Fwiw, I have a Maverick and short legs. Can state for a fact entry and exit in front seats is compromised with your feet hitting kick panel on door frame every single time. Only sat in the 5G Ranger once 4 years ago but don't remember the foot contact there.
Wth⊠how did they think that brown and green was a good idea??There is a leaked image of the Tacoma's interior floating around and it looks BAD. I thought the canyon AT4 had a pretty ugly interior but it looks like a 10/10 after seeing the taco's interior.
It has been confirmed on the taco forums that this is a photoshop. This is a Tundra interior with the air vents moved from the side to under the screen.There is a leaked image of the Tacoma's interior floating around and it looks BAD.
