Biggest Ranger Dislike

What I dislike most about my 2024 Ranger is the noise level in the interior. Very noisy inside. Lots of road noise makes it into the cabin area. My previous 4 trucks were F-150's and they were very quiet interiors compared to the Ranger. I am very surprised and disappointed by this but I love the truck otherwise. Ford has always prided themselves on interior noise levels. I have to give Ford an F on interior noise levels in the 24 Ranger. I hope they are working to improve this in future years.

I was recently reading a road test article on the 2025 Ranger and that article stated that road noise was pretty low compared to other trucks in it's class.

I'm not the least bit impressed with the noise levels in my 2011 F150 or my 2020 Explorer for that matter. I did mount the stick on window visors on my truck so I suppose that makes it noisier.

My biggest dislike for the new Rangers is you cannot get a six foot bed on a crew cab platform. I liked the older Rangers where the extended cab was just big enough and you could get that with a six foot bed. I know a six foot bed on a crew cab means a foot longer chassis, but a five foot bed is too small and a deal breaker for me.

If / when I downsize, I'm getting a 6x8 landscaping trailer as well. You go to a place like Lowe's or Home Depot where the parking lot should be built for trucks offering either deeper and wider stalls or angled stalls and nope, neither exists. That's the beauty of the Ranger and all the trucks in it's class.

We have that where I am here in Ontario, HD has angled parking near the lumber doors specifically for trucks hauling trailers and dedicated contractor parking all delineated with orange markings.
