rperez817 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Very interesting. This is the first Ford Ranger review I've seen with a detailed analysis of audio system performance. Is the Savage Geese narrator an engineer or technician? He seems very knowledgeable about the inner workings of automobiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Seems like a great way to get his video shared and make more money on the Ads, how he makes $$$. A glowing review would get 1/100 of the views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 He normally does pretty good reviews. I am subscribed to him. He has a dry wit / sarcasm to him, but this is by far the worst review I've seen him give. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard about it until Anthony shared this video here on Blue Oval Forums (thank you Anthony!) The Savage Geese narrator doesn't seem to be an amateur. Quite the opposite. Maybe his automotive review and video work is a full time job for him? The videography is professional quality. And as I mentioned earlier, the narrator seems to be very knowledgable about technical details of cars and trucks. Much more than the typical YouTube reviewer.

jpd80 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) He’s just a colossal sook and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out his criticisms are based mostly on sticker shock. Most of the things he complains about will not bother most current buyers, is there room for improvement? Of course but isn’t the fact that people are paying way than his $25k base price testimony to what buyers see as the real worth of the Ranger Edited October 25, 2019 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a typical response when someone does not like what you had to say. I love Savage Geese and think he has some of the best reviews out there. He just did one on a Mustang Bullett and it was fantastic-he praised it where it did well and was point on in the vehicle's shortcomings. The Ranger is an "ok" product in today's market and is obviously dated and should be judged accordingly. I don't fault Ford for bringing it to the market and actually like some of the things about the truck but expect the next effort to be greatly improved-until then, it is what it is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like any of the players in the mid size market are really pushing the needle in driving the market either...that should change with the next gen Ranger..not sure what Toyota has planned refresh/update wise for the Taco though.

You are absolutely right besides the Gladiator but it also gets pretty expensive. I've driven several and if i was willing to spend $45K for a Ranger or a Jeep, it would be a easy decision for me. But like you said, the market is driven more from a cost stand point than someone wanting to push the product to the next level. Ram will also be adding a mid-size truck and I would expect that offering to be very competitive. I agree with Savagegeese-go get an F150!

02MustangGT Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 That guy is a complete waste of time. “listen to the transmission shift....” Yet the shifts are smooth and non intrusive. Passenger guy says “Tacoma is more reliable”... Huh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, that's one statement in the video that's not entirely true. The previous generation Tacoma (2005-2015) was super reliable. But the new one that came out in 2016 has been more problematic. The new 6-speed automatic Toyota put in the Tacoma that year seems to have some issues. In 2019 J.D. Power IQS, Ford Ranger was the #1 midsize pickup truck in terms of having the fewest problems. Frontier was #2 and Tacoma was #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontier was #2 and Tacoma was #3. Not to nitpick, but that is the initial quality survey not the reliability survey. We probably won't be getting usable JD Powers reliability survey results (that survey looks back 3 years) on the Ranger until the new generation is here.
