I don't really go for mid size trucks. My Mom had a Tacoma and it was pretty weak when she had to haul stuff. It drove very well though incredibly smooth. I'll stick with my normal. Single cab, old diesel trucks for work trucks and King Ranch for daily driver and bigger jobs where I want a lot of punch

Other then having the same name these to Rangers share nothing.

I use to have a Ford Ranger. 1989 with extended cab, 5 speed manual trans. Most fancy extra it had was A/C and a cassette player. Loved that truck.


I bought a 2008 Mazda B2300 (Ranger) brand new for $10,000. It's crazy nowadays

I have an '06 with 311,000 and all I've done is replace the alternator and clutch plate.

I'm fully convinced they did away with it because the profit margin was smaller than they wanted.

Now they reintroduce it at double the price. IMO it will be a flop at that pricing.

my ‘99 had a sticker price of $19,000 (base was around $13,000).

I agree. Ford is leading the way in restructuring their company to increase profit margins. This means over pricing their products and forcing customers to use their services. I hope they fall flat on their evil faces.

Nope! Bought brand new at Mazda South in Austin for that price. Back when gas was ridiculously high and trucks weren't selling. My brother bought a new F-150 about 6 months later for only $1000 more

I'll make the Cubans look like a bunch of amatuers fixing my current ride.

Or buy another low mile used one and run it till it drops.

A Ford Ranger for $50,000? I’ve literally seen it all now.


Better come with $20k in cash in the glove box.

I could be mistaken, but I imagine the $50k version is the Ford Ranger Raptor. That one will have an EcoBoost V6 from what I’ve heard from engineers in the industry.

The base model Ranger is a 4-cylinder and more in the $25-35k range which is pretty in line with competitior’s mid sized trucks.

They need to get inline with GM Colorado and Canyon to compete. Those start around $21k and go on up average price $28 to $30k. I bought some for work trucks in the WT package 4 cylinder white $21,500 in both 4 true door and 2 door / 1/2 doors.
