2025 Ranger Lariat FX4 2.7L
6500mi on Lariat FX4 2.7. I love the truck. It could be more refined, but I'm nitpicking. Came from a 21 Lariat Tremor and don't regret it. Only thing I miss is the Fox shocks, but also glad I don't have them to have to rebuild all the time.

Would I buy again? Yes. Yes I would. ESPECIALLY the V6. Lovely power plant. I average 20mpg tank to tank. Mostly short trips with a 100mi trip every weekend. I'm more than happy with that.

I had a Tacoma TRD Off Road as a rental a couple months ago. Drove it 1,500 miles. The coil rear suspension suspension was nice but everything else is better in the Ranger. The Taco’s interior felt cheap and the design was already dated. The steering wheel was way too thick and the steering was sloppy. Toyota is really coasting on its reputation these days.

Well here she is. Just picked her up today. Very very happy with her! I was using a 2018 F-150 (RCSB) 4x4 as my daily driver. I'm now going to pass that down to my son.

This Ranger is just awesome. Count me as a happy new member of the club!

I enjoy my 2025 Ranger XLT 4x4 with Black appearance package. It’s nice having a truck again but i also miss my Mustang GT lol. The wife drives a 23 Bronco. I like the Bronco and all but i like the Ranger better as my daily. It also can tow and haul more. My only complaint is seat comfort but I’m working on a remedy for that. For me the seat base needs to be a tad wider in the rear. It tapers too much do my liking and causes issues on long rides. But i also have some injuries that may exacerbate the issue
I agree completely on the seat for long drives. I got a couple of gel foam seat cushions off of Amazon that fixed the problem.
