Not really Bronco news per-say... but the Ranger is a very close cousin to the Ford Bronco—they are both on the same platform, and both produced at the same assembly plant in Michigan—so I thought I'd post it anyway.



Check it out on Ford's website HERE.


Price Starts at around $35,000 for the base XL model, with the Ranger Raptor starting around $57,000. Some noteworthy things that may give us clues as to what Ford intends on doing for the 2024MY Bronco....

Trims
  • XL
  • XLT
  • Lariat
  • Raptor

Engine Options
  • 2.3L EcoBoost
  • 2.7L EcoBoost
  • 3.0L EcoBoost (Raptor exclusive)

Transmission Options
  • 10-Speed Automatic

Misc New Stuff
  • New Sync Version: Sync 4A
  • New Tire: BFG KO3 All-Terrain

Color Options
  • Cactus Gray
  • Carbonized Gray
  • Azure Gray
  • Iconic Silver
  • Oxford White
  • Hot Pepper Red
  • Shadow Black
  • Velocity Blue
  • Shelter Green (Raptor Exclusive, below)




So... whatcha think???

Personally... disappointed no manual option, but I LOVE the Shelter Green color.

I wish they would just build transmissions, whether manual or automatic, that just work. They always try to reinvent the wheel.
Or keep figuring out how to make them cheaper. they don’t care of their crap.

Bronco 202?
Ford keeps having problems with the cheap manual transmissions that they’re buying from China. That would be my guess anyway..

Why the hell would we keep using them then?!

Again, goes back to the dealers being middle men and ordering generic options to get quick sales

“We know you want a 2dr, but how about this generic 50 shade of gray flex?”

No-can-do boss. I need the truck bed once a year to drive mulch home from Home Depot for my wife's flower garden in the spring, but the rest of the year I want to drive around in luxury. I'll take one of those F-150 Platinum crew cabs please.

😜

(For real though, I've been asked to get mulch for 2 months now and I have no way to get it home 'cause my Bronco is in pieces at the moment.)

No rear vents? Of all the things to share from the Bronco platform, that’s what they chose?

Huh.

I don't get that on any modern vehicle. Even 80s econoboxes had rear vents.

4 banger with an auto and you can't put a sheet of plywood in the bed and shut the gate? hard pass
With exception of XL and XLT you can’t get an f150 that will handle a sheet of plywood…

I like the Ranger. I just don't need a pickup truck. But if I did, I would consider one. They're decently proportioned and appointed, and I'm sure very useful, particularly if you're a homeowner.
It’s so small and there’s little if any better mileage than the F150…. I would probably look at a Tacoma before I looked at a Ranger… Although the Maverick harkens me back to my years in my 2005 SportTrac…. Fun Fun Fun

The SportTrac was awesome. One of those vehicles that I felt like I shouldn’t like, but yet I loved it.

I too have a lot of interest in the Maverick, and it may become my next daily driver to once the Focus reaches the end of its useful life. Given the option I’d buy another Focus, but obviously not sold here and the only equivalent car I’d even consider buying (Toyota Corolla) is only marginally cheaper than the Maverick. So why not?

I would certainly consider a Maverick if I wanted something smaller than my F150…

Which is why I now always order what I want rather than what’s available on the lot… I would rather wait and get what I want… MSRP is the current fact of life, so its just as easy to order and wait, for me…

In terms of transmissions, I’ve had three 10-speed automatics with no issue, and in fact have never had a serious problem with a Ford transmission...
