CaseyKasey Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 If you have no need for 4x4, then don't buy it. Take that $4k extra for 4x4 and invest it (or don't pay interest if financing) and you will have more left over than the depreciation hit you take when selling. That doesn't count (slightly) cheaper insurance, lower fuel cost (better MPG on 4x2), and less maintenance (thought 4x4 maintenance is rather minimal). That's the way I'm leaning. Just get the 3.73 Locker and I should be fine for the weather here in Greenville and what "I plan" on doing with it over the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRAces Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I am getting out of an F-150 SuperCrew Lariat with 4-wheel drive. I kayak fish in the Gulf every weekend. Some launches require me to go down narrow and sometimes muddy roads for as far as 11 miles, so I want the piece of mind I get with 4-wheel drive. If I have to head north during the winter on a trip it will be helpful. Sometimes sandy areas can get soft at some of our launch points. Worth the extra expense for me.

dbeck72130 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just put my order in Super Crew 4x4 501A, Trailer Tow, Running Boards, Keypad entry. Now wait a month to see it scheduled, 3 months to build date, then hope to get it in 5 months. Maybe I'll be alive then LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll be alive then LOL Retail orders wont be scheduled until the OK TO BUY is given, and since this is a major launch in what is essentially a new plant given the amount of retooling required might be longer than the typical week or 2 into production.

dbeck72130 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I can not imagine how much money and effort has gone into the re-launch of the Ranger! I think it will be worth all that has gone into it and Ford will be happy they did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 I ordered mine Friday salesman told me it would be around Christmas before it would be here let’s hope sooner The 2019MY Ranger Job #1 Date isn't until 11/26/2018. With the expected slow ramp up for an all-new model, it could easily take 4-6 weeks before the "OK to Buy" status (5 consecutive days of production with zero defects) is achieved which is when the initial shipping release is issued and retail orders will start to schedule. As such, I wouldn't be surprised to see the "OK to Buy" status reached until January and Dealer stock orders to arrive in February. As such, you could be looking at March 2019. It could be sooner but it's all speculation until production actually starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23103a Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Those of you who have ordered, is price being discussed?I called a dealer in SoCal who said that they couldn't order or price out a build yet, which I thought was odd.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I ordered mine Friday salesman told me it would be around Christmas before it would be here let’s hope sooner What ice-capades is trying to tell you is your dealer lies. Or is just eternally optimistic. But most likely lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I ordered mine Friday salesman told me it would be around Christmas before it would be here lets hope sooner That definitely aint happening. Retooling construction is so far behind schedule that preproduction builds were delayed 2 weeks. Was supposed to start 8/13 but now isnt starting until next Monday. It absolutely would not shock me to see the job 1 date pushed back until December sometime, or even January because of the holiday break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pre-order sheet I got from my dealer had pricing on it including all the plan prices. I really do not expect to get it before Lat feb or march.

ice-capades Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Is there any eta on when more specs will be released? I'll assume you're looking for horsepower, torque and fuel economy ratings. Those will be probably be available around the time production starts or soon afterwards. Everything else is in the 2019 Ranger Order Guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Kinda what I thought the wait will be worth it I’m curious how the ne 4 cylinder will perform Based on the MKC and Mustang - very very well. Way better than the old Ranger and probably better than the 2.0L Diesel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schpark Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Tow rating is not in the order guide. For us folks in the north heated side mirrors are a must. But you have to get a Lariat to get them. That's the biggest problem I see in the packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better than the old Ranger and probably better than the 2.0L Diesel. Hi d-rail sir, test drive a 2018 or 2019 Mustang with 2.3L engine and 10-speed automatic transmission if you get a chance. I did that and found the powertrain very satisfactory. My '04 Ranger has the 2.3L non-turbo 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual transmission. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
