2019 ford ranger review....

[TCowner]

And to follow up on my previous post, the GMC canyon with the 3.6 V6 gave me just over 20 mpg on my daily commute. I know its all personal preference but I just like how quiet and smooth the V6 is compared to the ecoboost 4. Now, if Ford ever follows through with rumors I've heard of a 2.7 ecoboost (V6) then I could see myself revising my less than stellar rating of the Ranger.

..I do around 18 mpg commuting back and forth to work.

That's not impressive or encouraging at all.
Was hoping for it to be more around 22-25 with hiway being closer to 27-30mpg.

Here is my in-town driving. I haven't reset it for months.

2022 is supposed (rumored) to have the 2.7 eco V6 and the 3.0 diesel V6 as options. Excuse my while I wipe the drool off my chin.

I don't know, this truck darn can tow all our trailers like nothing. Even tow our big square camper trailer down the interstate at 80. Do we need more HP?? Over the summer, when we'll not aren't warming it up all the time, the fuel mileage is great. I'm not sure what to complain about.

We never let need vs want stand in our way

Have you compared that to hand calculated values? There's a reason those things are called lie-o-meters!

Seems most are off 10-15%.

I check ours early on and found our dash computer was pretty close. So I lost interest in checking it.

Yes I did the first few months I owned it. It was only off a few tenths of a mile, very close, not 10 - 15 %.

TCowner, any pics of your fuel history not towing a trailer?

I had this discussion at work about fuel mileage numbers at work. A co-worker was telling me that his 2019 Ram with 5.7 hemi was consistently getting 23-24 mpg according to the dash computer. Prior to the 2019 Ranger and the 2017 GMC Canyon, I had a 2014 Chevrolet silverado (5.3) and a 2011 Ford 150 (3.5 ecoboost) all quad cabs, and about 18 mpg was the consistent 13 mile commute (70 mph on the four lane) to work with some city driving tossed in. Now these are numbers based upon actual numbers between filling up at the station because the dash computer seemed to show better numbers.

My co-worker had a just over a 200 mile trip (all freeway) planned so challenged him with a friendly wager to use actual numbers and rely on the computer. He ran the trip mostly in the 70-75 mph speed and came up with just over 19 mpg when filled up. I won a 20 oz. diet coke.

I'm not getting the results you folks are. I am going to do another test next weekend on the trip to Wisconsin, this time with no trailer. I am going to compare the dash computer to the actual fill up numbers and report. If the numbers are anything above 20 mpg I will stand at the top of mountain and praise the Ford Motor Company.
