Steve is a great addition to tfl. He and his private trail system are a huge value to evaluations of these vehicles.

Steve makes the best off road videos! Give this man a raise!!!!

Go Ranger! Great little truck.

Steve's becoming my favorite cast member of TFL 👍👍👍👍

When he takes these trucks through challenges he cheers them on like he’s watching Rudy getting to play the last few seconds at Norte Dame.

I don't know his name but this guy is awesomely entertaining

Impressive. I didn't think it would make it through that mud pit. Love the Trail Control. I just ordered a 2023 Ranger Crew 4x4 XLT FX4. Can't wait!

Looks like Ranger handled it just fine! I think the FX4 Ranger would be up to the task of mid-grade off-road duties which would satisfy 95% of the owners. I have a 2019 and really enjoy it.

Good little truck! You got the best reviews on YT dude. TFL is lucky to have you. Chatty, informative, you really to test these rigs well, and we can OBVIOUSLY see how much fun you are having. Keep the good work up!

Trail control is like using a calculator in math class.

I lucked out and got a 2020 Ranger Lariat as a rental for the next month. I’ve been SO impressed with the Hankook tire’s on-road handling. They stick like glue while I’m hustling on curvy mountain backroads but they’re also smooth, comfortable, and quiet. Now I’m even more impressed to see that they’re actually good in the mud as well.

I’ve been impressed with the Ranger overall, really. The only thing I don’t like is the 10r80’s automatic shifting logic. I even reset the ECU so it could relearn my driving habits but that only made it actually use 2nd Gear for about 20 miles before it went back to skipping from 1st to 3rd and hitting 7th Gear by 40mph and 10th Gear before 50mph. I really don’t see the point in having 10 gears when it only uses 5 of them as a rule. You would think it would kickdown gears aggressively when you toe into it but instead it just stubbornly stays in too high of a gear and bogs like when you accidentally shift from 1st to 4th in a manual transmission. The 10r80 is SUPER annoying 100% of the time.

Either way, I’m glad I got to experience this trans before the Bronco releases. I’ll definitely be getting mine with the 7-speed!

I love my 2020 xlt supercab.. it’s not 4x4 but handles the trails just fine. I especially love that 0% apr 😬

[joshuakarlsen]

I am amazed how good this truck does off road!! Great video!!! Keep them coming!!!

[jdhoger]

That was an awesome review, glad you tested in all that mud, handled great for a small pickup. Well done sir. thank you and thumbs up.

[crsantin]

Great video. The Ranger isn’t designed to be a hard core off roader. It did well and it’s a nice truck for daily driving and utility. It has enough trail capabilities for most people to have some fun.

[thenum]

Love Steve's videos. He pushes the limit and it is appreciated.

[norsefalconer]

I can't wait for the Bronco, dealers will be giving away the Rangers and that's the time to buy.

[ricwestdoesitwork]

The Ranger did a good job in the mud. Thanks for sharing TFL & Steve.

[iray]

I got a 2019 FX4 at a massive discount and I'm loving that truck. With just a 2" Falcon shock level and some KM3's that little truck is outstanding offroad or On.

Love how you get so excited on these tests. Refreshing.
