I'm planning on buying a 2020 Ranger sometime next year.
My 1999 Ranger has 300,000+ miles on it and I'm about to swap in a 92,000 mile junkyard 3.sl0w to keep it running until the new Ranger purchase.
I want to get the '1st year' problems corrected by FORD on the new Ranger and allow the 1st year demand to die down so that they will discount/deal on it.
Looking forward to the torquey turbo 2.3L EcoBoost w/10 speed combo vs. my 3.sl0w 4 speed.
I have to say, I LOVE EcoBoost/turbo cars!
When I lean on the Fusion Sport's throttle, it just MOVES! ....effortlessly vs. my Marauder which always had to downshift and run a lot of revs to move out.
(Although the Marauder sounded SO MUCH better!)
