1k Mile Review: my 2024 Ranger Lariat = "A" rating ✔

[Dpowhatan]

Did you hand calculate it by chance ? - one of our vehicles has been off as much as 3 MPG from what the trip computer says. (normally high by 1.5-2.5 MPG)

Unfortunately, I did not. I know that typically, the vehicle’s trip computations can be somewhat generous.

I picked up my White 2024 Lariat FX4 addition with every option checked. I agree on mostly what's been said here. Highway ride is amazing. 80MPH is 2100 rpms taking it easy. That 2.3 turbo is an amazing engine. I'm averaging 22.5 mpgs. I only have 750 miles on the truck. I thought about waiting until the 2.7 6 was available but that 2.3 sold me. Plus it's been out a long time with a proven longevity record.

I took the new Lariat on a trip this week and wanted to pass along my initial impressions.

The truck rides beautifully. I downsized from a 2008 F150 XLT that has 240k miles on it, so this was like driving a limo! It handles very well and is extremely well mannered regardless of road conditions. The steering was very precise and the truck always felt well-grounded.

I know a lot of the YouTube reviewers expressed concerns over the center stack, but that’s because they only spent a short amount of time in it I believe. Once I got used to where the main controls were, it was very easy. And the majority of the frequently used stuff is accessible using the steering wheel controls. The seats were amazingly comfortable. Never got a sore back side, even after nine hours. I didn’t notice much road noise at all.

So far, I would give it an “A” rating.
