I didn't expect that.
The Trail Control on the Ranger looks like a awesome trick

I am keeping an eye on the American Ranger. We will see engines in the States that we only can dream of.

Like the Jeep 2.0? In that specific case I think we I'd prefer the 3.6.

Scratch... he was referring to Ford & their Ecoburst motors...
Watch the video - no Jeeps...

I found the video interesting.
That guy does lightweight tests - he is more of a Clarkson than a car guy - but it was interesting.
The Ford Ranger is new and fresh and that Ecoburst 2.3 is a good motor.
The new Ranger makes the Tacoma look a bit outdated - which it is.
I believe Toyota is working on a new one - talk is the next Tacoma and next Hilux will be one and the same.
They are currently very similar, but not the same.
Let's see...

Sorry I was referring to his second sentence, which seemed open to all US engines.

That Tacoma is just fantastic.
If we had it here, I would be driving one now.

You and me both. I love that truck
I don’t think the Crawl Control was to blame for him being unable to move. I think it was driver error. Will have to look again
Did you notice that not a single tire looked deflated, on any of the two vehicles?
Also. That 2.3 EcoBoost would be nice in the Ranger even the Raptor Ranger
