Can’t really see in the pic but to be fair, this one is a full load FX4 so it’ll be more expensive. I think you can get a strippy 4x4 version around $30k if you want a base model.

Wow...46k for a Ranger? Then again, the Toyota Tacoma sells for around this same price. You could buy a new full size truck for this price, granted not very many options and a base model, but to each their own.
Yeah...you can pretty much just about buy a vinyl seat base model 4x4 new F150 for that price. The price is "normal"(using that term loosely) for this time in our lives. Vehicles are just getting more and more expensive.
You can also buy a full load F450 for $97,000 too if you want...for example.

The price of the Super Duty is ridiculous, then again, I just bought a 2019 Silverado 3500 for around 65k after discounts, not too bad considering it's an LTZ with a boat load of options.

Ford screwed the pooch on this one!
Last January I was in Vietnam and Cambodia, I saw six different variations of the Ford Ranger that looked awesome, and were totally setup the way a "midsize" truck should be.
Six and seven foot beds, etc....
I was hoping Ford would do what Chevy/GMC did and bring a competitor to the ridiculously overpriced Toyota Tacoma.
Guess not. :bash:

I dunno. I don’t get involved much on the sales side. They make me want to barf. This thing just landed in front of me today so figured I’d share.
Couple points to add.
You can get a longer bed.
Truck prices span a huge range. So end of model year leftovers are always going to sell cheap. The dealers pay to have those vehicles on the ground every day they sit. It’s called flooring. Also you can buy a $25k ranger and you can buy a $47k Ranger. Same goes for silverados and f150’s and Tacoma’s. All comes down to the way the vehicle is optioned out. This particular truck is very loaded.
Lastly. They told us Ford is going to offer more accessories and bolt on’s for the Ranger than Chrysler makes for the Jeep Wrangler which is wild.

Good, learning from Chevy's mistake with the Colorado. When I got mine there wasn't much of anything available for the aftermarket side. Only recently has there been a decent bumper for it.
Now that a lot of Colorado's have sold aftermarket companies are putting stuff out.
Still don't know if I can get a front locker for it

End of the year silverado crew 1500’s were in the low-mid 30’s.
I can testify to this.
My brother just bought one and he said he paid $32,000 or so. Bought it somewhere over on the west side. I wanna say Issaquah. Nice truck.

There's $80,000 F150s out there, overpriced trucks are nothing new
I just bought a used Colorado from a Ford dealer who had multiple F-150's priced over $110k.
I've seen the Ranger internationally and it's very similar body wise and IMO looks good in person. The real miss, and reason why I didn't even wait to test drive, was that the crew cab couldn't be configured with the 6' bed.

Here’s a couple other pics I lifted off the web. I’d like to take the Ranger Raptor for a rip.

I can't imagine what F150 is over $110k. I think the most expensive F150's are the Raptors and they're around $80-85k. Maybe they're putting a massive 2nd sticker on them? That doesn't make any sense though either as dealers have them on the ground now...there's not enough demand.

I can reach over the side of it into the bed to grab tools etc. The new "small" trucks, including the Colorado are TOO TALL to get anything out of the pickup bed from the side. Nothing is worse then having to climb into the bed of a truck just to get a hammer.
I cringe when guys put lift kits on their full size pu's. When the tailgate is down and it is at mid chest height, how fun is it to put a 50lb bag of seed/feed or a 100lb tractor weight in the back of the truck?

I feel your pain. I have a 95 f250......WHY doesnt SOMEBODY make an aftermarket METAL door handle??? Not a cheap plastic or pot metal handle but actual steel. I tried making one out of some flat stock, worked great till i had to put the door panel back on and it wouldnt slide through the slot without rubbing on the panel. I have reinforced the tin in the door for less flex, replaced the cable and just the other day I bought the bracket that the handle bolts to. Its still a concentrated effort to open the door without busting the handle...lift handle, push door open with side of upper arm...do not use handle to "lift" door open. :o :( >:(
Sorry for the threadjack, at least I'm talking about a Ford.

Those handles are junk. I heard a rumor that the 80-86 handles are made of heavier steel and will fit the 87-96s. I'm going to check that out or make my own.
