    Ford Ranger Gets Top Marks for Fuel Economy

      Bests all other gasoline-powered mid-size pickups in combined rating.

    When the Ford Ranger returns to the US market in a few weeks, the EPA window sticker will be a primary strong selling point.  The EPA estimates for the Ranger have been announced and it beats any other gasoline powered pickup on the market. The two-wheel drive Ranger will have a 21mpg city / 26 highway / 23 combined rating.  That combined rating ties the combined rating of the diesel-powered Chevy Colorado. The 4wd model gets a 20 city / 24 highway / 22 combined rating of which the city and combined rating are the highest in the class.  The Ranger starts around $25,395 and offers only one engine, a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, that will tow and haul more than the V6 offerings from Nissan, Toyota, and Ford.

    The U.S. mid-size truck market is heating up with Ranger as just the newest entry in the mix.  The 2020 Jeep Gladiator will be arriving next year but has not yet been rated by the EPA.

      In other news. The usa still sucks shyte!!!    If its a Democrat problem, then arrest all democrats on  raping women, sex trafficking and sex with under age girls.   Yeah about that.... Trump is also on that list so... Lets get this right.  The main idea on this is that trump is on that list...  And it would be your president.  Shameful, disgraceful and disgusting. Unlawful, unruly and ungodly. Not trustworthy, not ethical, not honourable and quite frankly, quite phoquing scary that americans are capable of accepting this shyte as their representative of their country and people.  ALL americans...

      GM's Ultium formerly known as, is actually a 400V system.  The Chevy EV pick-up truck, the Hummer EV and the Escalade are dual 400V set-ups working in tandem to emulate a 800V set-up.  I guess the way the battery packs are set-up in that truck platform. The batteries stacked up one on top of the other. Amongst other things, I suppose.  The other Ultium platformed EVs with the single battery pack is just a 400V set-up.  But I also read somewhere that GM has an 800V successor platform ready to go on sale in China right now.  But is stalling due to reasons. Stalling here and there...   Rumours and/or disinformation it could be though.

      The sad part was the Auto Industry had agreed on the 800V standard before Ford went forward with the F150 Lighting and your right Porsche Taycan took the standard and brought it to market first. Ford like so many other auto companies had bought the tear down on the Tesla and knew what Tesla was, why then only build to their 400V equal when the spec was agreed upon to 800V. GM did this and was not that far behind Ford in bringing their 800V EVs to market, so I feel Ford took short cuts to be second when they could have built better accepting that Rivian was already out at 400V and they could have hit the market with 800V on par with GM at the time. Will be interesting to see what happens as the Koreans have stated to have mid-size and possible full size 800V EV pickups as well as Hybrid pickups coming out soon. Interesting times for sure.
