2019 Ford Ranger Reviews SummaryEveryone is talking about the all-new Ranger, but there’s just one problem: It’s not all new. The last Ranger was a staple of Ford’s lineup, but it was pulled from North America in 2011, although it’s remained on sale elsewhere in the world ever since. Refreshed for 2015, it’s now returned to the US and Canada to contend with the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, the GMC Canyon, and the Toyota Tacoma, which haven’t exactly been relaxing during the Ranger’s absence. So, how does the Ranger intend to insert itself back into this already well-established midsize pickup category? Price and power. While the Colorado and the Tacoma both offer multiple powertrain options, Ford is leaning into its recent penchant for simplicity, offering a single engine and transmission: its 2.3-litre EcoBoost paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. | |
2020 RAM 1500 Reviews SummaryA full redesign for the 2019 model year left a significant bit of tech on the table for the increasingly popular Ram 1500 pickup truck: the EcoDiesel 3.0-litre engine. Ram was once the only option for a half-ton diesel pickup, but emissions certification problems resulted in Ram pulling the diesel engine a few years ago. The engineers at Ram have been hard at work updating it ever since. Although the EcoDiesel wasn’t ready for 2019, it’s now available for any 2020 Ram 1500 trim, so it seems it was well worth the wait. With 80% new parts, the EcoDiesel's improvements to power, efficiency, and delivery all mean that Ram is fighting hard to change minds about North America’s least-loved engine type. | |
