How it scores for you10 scores
A thoroughly modernized midsize truck with full 7,500-lb towing and strong resale on its side; fuel costs and a snug rear seat are the compromises.
Recalled far more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 4 of its 24 recalls were serious. About 5% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 44% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
SuperCrew-only US cab seats five with adequate but not generous rear legroom - typical midsize-truck packaging.
Stiffer new frame and the optional Raptor add character, but the volume 2.3L truck is competent rather than playful - mid-pack among midsize pickups.
Standard 10.1-in (avail 12-in) SYNC 4A touchscreen and modern driver aids put it ahead of older midsize rivals, short of class-leading EV/luxury cabins.
Roomier P703 cab and quieter ride than the old Ranger; still an unladen leaf-sprung pickup, so segment-typical comfort at best.
Trucks have historically held their value best.
Rated to tow 7,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
