Not what I was expecting, I thought the 2.7 Colorado would have cleaned house. Only thing predictable was the Jeep dead last.

You can see Ford knows how to program that 10 speed watch it jump forward every time it shifts next to its opponent. The 10 speed probably has more to do with the win than you’d think.

The 4 cylinder in the Ranger is a very impressive little engine! Also not bad on fuel economy for a mid size!

The newer direct injected Nissan V6s are severely underrated in horsepower. We had a Pathfinder with the 3.5 Liter version this Frontier 3.8 and it was an absolute screamer "on the cams". That 310 hp rating on the Frontier is a worst case scenario on crappy octane gas on a hot day. Probably more like 325 after a good break in. Admittedly, the Pathfinder was awful with the CVT but that engine tried its heart out. If Nissan wanted to throw down they could put the GT-R engine in the Frontier.

Thanks so much!!

To be fair most stoplight simulated street race you may face is 1/8 or less

Ranger didn’t even show it’s final form. The 2.7 Ecoboost will be available soon to drop the hammer down.

Awesome show again and good to see comparison. However, we have a Ridgeline truck and find it more than fast enough, great handling in year round drive, off road adventures we do, towing we do, and things we carry in bed, be it new furniture and appliances or dump run items. It's all we need. The others are awesome, but we don't need more ground clearance and traxda offers 1.5" to maybe 3" leveling/lift kits if we wanted and rims and tires options available. We have All weather winter rated All terrain Nokian Rotiiva tires which is great for us. We did notice less sporty than summer tires especially carving corners around lake superior which you guys should do some testing.

Awesome drag race! I'm now impressed at the power of the new trucks after the Ford spanked the 360 RT Durango. They don't have the torque out of the hole, but they have gears and horsepower to go fast. Great showing!

This will boost ford ranger sales

My son's got a Ranger, he'll be happy to see it finished 1st. We're going to look at and possibly buy a Catalina 25 (that's a sailboat) today, so lets hope it does as well towing as it did on the drag race. We'll certainly find out ourselves how well it tows with it weighing right at 6,000 lbs with the trailer boat and gear. His 2023 Ranger is 7500 lbs and his truck's door sticker says it has a 1443 lb payload capacity so we're good on both of those. If we buy it well certainly find out how it tows as we have a 3 hr drive from Lexington KY back to Indianapolis IN.

I have a 2022 ranger and tow a 4500 lbs tritoon often and it does fantastic

@kennetho5393

It should do fine at that weight. It's not a weight I'd tow daily or a couple times a week. A couple times a month will be fine but I'd change the oil a little earlier during boating season. On the highway I'd use 8th gear.

Ranger sounded like parts were falling off of it. Typical Ford junk

@@Jose-Ramos-Jr That was parts from the typical Dodge falling off that the Ranger was running over.

Turbo engines have a huge advantage at higher elevations…. So not a lot of surprises

There are going to be a lot more hurt feelings when the 2.7 EcoBoost shows up to the party to play. I'm highly impressed with that little 2.3.

The 10 speed aint no joke

The towing and off road test to me is more important than a drag race. Very few people buy a truck for drag racing.

You buy horsepower, drive torque.

Another great TfL production 🤠

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

I own a 22 Ranger XLT and that 2.3T is prety quick especially since it has the lightest curb wieght hightest payload capacity in this segment.
