From Motor Trend; Apr 08, 2025: Meet the 2025 Ford Ranger Super Duty, a workhorse midsize truck that will not be coming to America.

If someone sees any Ford Ranger Super Duty news please post it.

Had a 1994 Ranger 4 cylinder: worst pickup we've owned. Dodge Rampage and 1997 Tacoma were the best. The present 2005 Tacoma is okay, but neither of us like to drive it. The Ranger seemed to have all 4 wheels bolted to the frame, like no suspension. Fuel mileage on highway was worse than driving to work, etc., only 23 mpg. Highest price 1st tuneup ever: 8 spark plugs, 2 broke off, and position indicator had to be replaced. Could fit less stuff behind the seats than on the Rampage.

Any good news about anything?

What did your ranger do today? Ours was in the middle of neighbors meeting a puppy.

 

[ArlyA]

Ranger, puppy, kids. What a mix.

Just picked up a new (used) 20ft trailer. Weights 1700lbs.

That's a nice one ArlyA. 20' should be plenty of room for your snow removal equipment to fit.

Nice one. What is its GVWR?

 

[ArlyA]

Ranger transmission was stuttering and just got home with a tranny software update for $100.

You mean the kubota on the trailer from 2 years ago? It was more than I wanted to be towing. It was to much.

The GVWR of the new trailer.

The GVWR of the new trailer.

The tag is faded out but I'd guess 7000 to 8500.

Me with ranger checking out new flood damage. Transmission seems to be shifting better.

late to the party, only read a few pages...
I bought 2019 Ranger take offs for dirt cheap for my 2019 Ranger. I really like the look of my original rims. Found on facebook. Brand new rims and tires (500 miles) so when original tires wore out, I had dedicated rims for snow. Think I paid like $600 for all 4. Can't beat that with a stick. I'm sure there are other makes/models available as well.
I had previously had bought brand new 2021 Bronco rims/tires for $500, but after driving, didn't like the 18" rims and 33" tires, so I sold.

Please post pics of your new, used ranger.

Please post pics of your new, used ranger.

Just took a couple pics. I bought new in April 2020. Lariat model, Sport package. I really like this style rim, not flashy, but still looks good. About 54k miles on it now. The rims/tires on it now are the new takeoffs I bought.

 

[ArlyA]

Got a nice hole today while driving rustic roads. Tires are not oem and with an unknown mileage but should be in the 30K+ area. When you run snows in the winter you really are guessing.

I towed this setup with a F150 and my Ranger. The Ranger had more HP and there wasn't much difference in stability. Top speed was like 50 using both.

 

[arto98607]

Regardless what the numbers or specs show and maybe it's just me, but hauling that looks like a job for F350 or equivalent...

No offense.

Or at least a 250.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
