When will 2.7 V6 be available on Ford.com Build & Price?

Ford has to get this information figured out soon. Toyota is preparing drive previews by months end.

I traded a 17 Tacoma for my 19 Ranger No way in hell I'd buy another Tacoma no matter when they are available!

Trading up my ‘23 Tacoma for a ‘24 Ranger. Hope it’s a good decision I’ve drove Toyota’s for a lot of years, feels strange getting something else

Can I ask what’s prompting y’all to switch out from Toyota so shortly? What might their shortcomings be as you see them? Usually I thought Toyota people won’t consider anything else. Though as a Ford guy, the fact that I’m interested in checking out the Tacoma in addition to Ranger surprises me a bit.

I had Rangers in the past. When the older versions were discontinued I needed another midsize truck and the obvious and only real option was the Tacoma. It was a dog and I only had it for two years waiting on the return of the Ranger.

The 3rd Gen powertrain in the Tacoma has to be the worse in the history of mid-size trucks. I even had a ‘16 (first year) and gave it another shot in a ‘23 (last year). 4th Gen I just really don’t like the look of the truck for one and a hybrid powertrain 4-cylinder don’t sit well either. Not really a shortcoming just a preference thing. I’m sure in 5-10yrs they all will be but until then I’m gonna enjoy a 405hp v6….badass for a mid-size truck. New Ranger is a good looking truck I think, Ford got it right this go around and actually put some time into it I think.

Not available on RWD? That’s really stupid

Don’t think the 4x2 could handle the power of the 2.7. My 2019 Lariat breaks loose under light acceleration when turning on dry pavement with just the 2.3. I’ll be ordering a 2.7 Lariat if I can find a Color I like. I have a lightening blue metallic which they don’t offer anymore. Velocity Blue doesn’t appeal to me and the Red is too Orange. May need to wait a year!

After waiting all this time for the new Ranger, I’ve decided that the current color choices just don’t do it for me. I’ve has a Lightening Blue Metallic Ranger since 2019 and love that color. The Velocity Blue is just too dark or stand I can’t get myself to pay the price of a 2.7ltr Lariat for something that I’m not going be excited about! Better luck next year!
