Look get a toyota tacoma beats the cars butt and i know you said heard it a 1000 times but the tacoma will kick its butt out the window.

To be honest, it’s too early to form any accurate opinion on a brand new vehicle. 

Only time will tell the truth.

Car and Driver did a published report on the 7 mid-sized pickups in 2019. Listing results worst-to-best are:

7. Nissan Frontier

6. Toyota Tacoma

5. Ford Ranger

4. GMC Canyon

3. Chevrolet Colorado

2. Honda Ridgeline

1. Jeep Gladiator

Impossible to say for sure. Thats why buying new vehicles is silly especially when they are dramatically overpriced. 

Reading through the other responses, I'm not sure anyone wants to know the truth about the "new" Ford Ranger, but for what it's worth:

The "new" Ranger is not new. The same basic machine has been in continuous production in almost every nation EXCEPT North America, where production and new vehicle sales with the 2011 model year.

The engine used in the North American version is based upon the Spanish-built 2.0 L Eco-Boost Gen 2 engine. Ford extensively modified that engine, stroke it to 2.3L, added a twin-scroll turbo, so now, the anemic little 2.0L basic engine is being pushed so hard and so close to the edge of a cliff, that the word "reliability" is never heard when referring to the modified little engine.

To be able to drive around town at low rpm's where engine power is almost nil, Ford elected to use the very problematic 10-speed transmission. That decision has become a major cash drain for Ford.

Then Ford knew they had to get the fuel economy numbers up, so they added a little monster named "Start-Stop", which shuts down the engine at red lights and stop signs, and when the driver wants to go again, he/she must wait for the computer to re-start the engine.

Ford also knew that starting an engine, any engine, is a MAJOR cause of engine wear, but they didn't care if the engine has to re-start 10-20 times in urban blocks, they still don't care about engine wear profiles that are off-the-charts, they just want .23 more mpg to show-up in TV ads.

The interior is basically a 2-seater. The back seat might as well be from a log cabin because of it's comfort level, and the folding forward feature is a bad joke. That feature wasn't designed, it was pulled out of landfill. Rear seat retainers are also marginally dangerous, because they fail to keep the rear seat in place.

And whatever you do, don't open the tailgate with any part of your body nearby, or serious bodily injury can easily occur by the instantaneous fall of the un-dampened tailgate. And try to step into the bed with no step assistance.

I'm a long-time car sales person, and we know Rangers to be a very hard sell. Nobody wants them, they fall apart, have very little power until you floor it and the turbo kicks in, and that is almost abusing the vehicle.

I could go on and on, but about 6 weeks ago our parent new vehicle dealership sent us word that any Ranger taken in trade will not be sent to used vehicle sale, but instead, be sent directly to wholesale auction. We threw a party !

Company management has determined that they have lost too much money trying to move those things, so now, no more.

Also, in passing, be very careful about considering a Tacoma (as some may have told you too). They are no longer made in Texas, or in Baja California. They are now made in Apaseo el Grande, Guanajuato, Mexico, with most of the component parts also being fabricated in Mexico. Currently, industry observers predict the same low quality and workmanship levels that existed in the Baja plant, which is now slated for closure. And think about 8-speed transmissions that don't shift, and fuel pump recalls, and a bunch more bad stuff.

As of now I consider Rangers to be terrible, but they are also currently rated better than Tacoma.
