2019 ford ranger review....

[Bearsixty7]

Are you saying the new 2019 Ranger will be replaced by the 2022 Ranger or will the 2022 Ranger be an additional model?

I've read 2 possibilities, the 2022 will totally replace the 2019 the other plan is they may continue the current model Ranger but only a stripped down version for fleet/commercial use and the new model will be the main one for the public.

I don't know if anybody has the shorter cab style, aka "super cab"; if so, can you tell me if the rear windows open?
I've been waffling between this, and a Tacoma. The Toyota setup I want though; access cab, V-6 manual transmission; is almost as rare as hens teeth, and with the current health crap going around I don't want to drive to Massachusetts for a truck.

The rear door windows do not open one in the super cab versions. In the trim package we got, ours came with the sliding rear window which we have opened a few times to keep the mutts cool. Seems that we don't miss the open-able rear door windows.

Thank you. My dog likes to ride at low speeds with his nose out the window. My 2004 Ranger has a rear slider and I think that sometimes he falls asleep with his nose out the back window. I was hoping that truck would last another year but it needs front end and other work, and the frame is getting too soft to spend the money to fix it.
I'm also finding that the new truck stocks are depleted, while used trucks are almost impossible to find.

I've been looking on both Ford's website and at various dealerships, but can't find where they are still offering the rear sliding window. Certainly none of the trucks on the lots have them. This will be a deal breaker for me as I'm only interested in the Supercab, which also has fixed windows in the rear doors.

I lost a brakeline on my '04 today and don't plan to fix it; so need to find something soon. I may end up with a used Ram, if I can't find something new that I want.
It's really pretty sad that a full sized truck with a V-8 Hemi can give MPG comparable to a small 4 cylinder pickup.

They have the rear sliding window on the Supercab. It is a $225 option on the Ford Ranger build site. The dealer might be able to put one in for you.

Now I found it, I was looking in the wrong place.

I'd guess the sliding rear downwind is standard on the 2 fancier models. Our XLT has it.

The sad part is that I would have to drive 350 miles to find anything that I would want in a Ford, Toyota, or Chevy. Small trucks aren't very popular up here, and most of what I can find is a big 4 door with 5'bed... completely useless to me.

I thought the dealerships had to stock one of every version they build. I'll assume you have called your nearest F dealership? I don't like a 5ft box either.
