5 Cons Not To Buy

Limited Infotainment System on the Base Models

The Ford Ranger higher trim comes with modern and luxurious features but when it comes to the base model, it is very basic. Some of the Ranger‘s rivals offer more infotainment features even at the base trim level which is becoming common these days.

High Price

The latest Ford Ranger model comes with excellent new features and good reviews, but also comes wth higher price. The more luxurious the trim level is, the higher the price, and it will just keep on getting expensive as the new model released. 

Smaller Size


The Ford Ranger might look like a big truck, but it doesn’t have the payload and towing capacities of a bigger full-sized truck. Other full-size pickup trucks offer a much better towing and cargo accommodations.


Cramped Rear Seat Space

The Ford Ranger has the most notable and modern interior features, though it lack in-cabin space. The front cabin has spacious and comfortable seats with soft leather materials, but the second row doesn’t offer much leg and knee room.

Not a Fuel Efficient


The Ford Ranger offers a powerful engine with 3.0L Power Stroke V6 turbo diesel engine, but for the fuel efficiency, it isn’t faring much better. The 2.0L turbo gets a combined fuel economy of 7.6L/100km and the 2.0L twin-turbo diesel engine has 6.9 – 7.2L/100 km. While the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine has a combined fuel economy of 8.4L/100 km. Though it can still get a good number based on the equipped transmission and how you handle your car.
