Moosetang Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Was pleasantly surprised to see the Ranger at the DC Auto Show today, along with the Bullit Mustang, since I don't usually think of this show having anything not currently in the lots. The truck wasn't open and I didn't jump the guard rail to fondle it, but I got a good look. Have to say I was very pleased by what I saw. It's a really good looking truck in person and left a very favorable impression compared to the competitors elsewhere on the floor. The Tacoma still hides it's Mass well enough to look the most "light" in the segment, which is either good or bad depending upon your preference, but the rest just looked second rate compared to the Ranger. The GM twins in particular where severely "meh," With only the ZR2 really catching the eye at all. If the performance and features match up, this truck is going to be getting a lot of business.

Was it the same two they had at naias or did they have another one? Id love to see some more real life pics of it in different models/colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to see some more real life pics of it in different models/colors Was a blue Lariat Sport. I don't know if it was one of the two on the floor at Detroit or one from the photo shoots, but the Bullit and Edge ST also at the show seem to have been NAIAS veterans.

The 2 at NAIAS were that orange Super Crew from the reveal and a Magnetic Grey Super cab that was upstairs with the rest of the pickup trucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pictor Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Does anyone know if it will come with a BAMR? Or small moon roof or no opening at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Does anyone know if it will come with a BAMR? Or small moon roof or no opening at all Nobody seems to know, nor has one been pictured which makes me very nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 No BAMRs on trucks but I’m sure it will offer some type of moonroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This it?Sure looks like it. Very nice truck. Random thought/question while I'm heavily medicated to fight this flu: will Ranger get a tailgate step? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sure looks like it. Very nice truck. Random thought/question while I'm heavily medicated to fight this flu: will Ranger get a tailgate step? No official mention of it. I guess we will have to wait until the order guide comes out in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Saw the Ranger at the Chicago Autoshow. Its the same Orange one, and was barricaded off. Looks better in person, but still not much of a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 ...while I'm heavily medicated to fight this flu... hope you're better soon just curious/if you don't mind, did you get a flu shot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sorry Moosetang, probably that Aussie flu we had over here last winter, hope you get well soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildosvt Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know if it will come with a BAMR? Or small moon roof or no opening at all ZERO Moon roof for first year guaranteed. This is fact not fiction. No opening at all in the roof.

jpd80 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) You can tell that this must have been a late decision by Ford NA to include Ranger, probably after the CY2018 Global upgrade was done, so maybe just added what they could to get a truck for North America as a place holder, a bit like Expedition? An MCE is usually good for around three years so maybe an all new T6 by about CY 2021 Edited February 11, 2018 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I usually prefer to go without to get more headroom. My Edge has the BAMR but I keep the screen open or it hits my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 hope you're better soon just curious/if you don't mind, did you get a flu shot? I did in September, and doc insists it has knocked this down some despite being a different virus than was in the vaccine. Still less than a barrel of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Honestly, that might be enough for me to get a Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Honestly, that might be enough for me to get a Colorado. Ranger is being delivered on a tight budget, one engine, one trans so maybe options like the one you want are not available until Nth America works out who wants what.

fuzzymoomoo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I have a very short list of wants. If they cant satisfy me, how are they going to satisfy someone whos pickier than me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 No BAMRs on trucks but I’m sure it will offer some type of moonroof. I know this isn't a Ranger, but you said trucks. You don't call that a BAMR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I know this isn't a Ranger, but you said trucks. You don't call that a BAMR? Hmm.... that certainly looks like a BAMR. I thought it was just a regular moonroof with a fixed rear panel.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Order guide calls it a twin panel moonroof rather than a Vista roof. I think it is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
