Well, we're all a bit biased as should be and facts are facts.. Our money doesn't have the value it used to anymore either, thanks to Inflation and everytime the Dollar picks up a little headroom. The damn Feds print more of the fiat currency up an debase the dollar even more.
On another note. The calculator is JUST the truck. By that I mean;
- There isn't the $1200 destination charge
- There's no interest fees
- NO taxes included
- NO documentation fees
- NO DMV fees
- NO Title or registration fees
- ANNNNDDD... you know stocking dealers are gonna try and add an addendum for "Fair Market Value" adjustment of $2-6K too because a handful of people will want to be first..
So shy of where you all are from, your missing a lot of uncalculated monthly payment and total amount. So if you think that the NEW Ranger is higher than giraffe pussy now.. ahahahaha you just wait.
You thought the Tacoma was expensive..
Of course all that gets added. It IS Ford's site after all, and that varies from place to place. But it gets added to the Taco as well. If it sells well, or has a decent order book, dealer add-on will be even higher. All you have to do is look at prices of limited edition Mustangs to see that in action.

I had read the new Bronco will come in at Base Price of $27K... then it has to go up fast !
I too am not happy with Ford and the economy, but Ford promised an affordable Truck, nothing I see in there line up is what I would call AFFORDABLE !
I am glad the new design isn't what I was hoping for, I will not be buying another until my '03 Ranger with under 100K miles rusts out from under me !
The price of the F150 is one of the biggest things bringing the Ranger back. Sure the Taco sells and chevy sells some. But until the F150 got high enough that they could bring a truck in under it and not scavenge F150 sales, it was never going to happen. Last I heard you could fully load an F150 and be in the neighborhood of $70k. Puts the $35k for s decently equipped Ranger in perspective for me.
But for me it means I won't even be thinking about buying one. I am about to get myself debt free, including mortgage. Not going to add this expense. Plus, the only vehicle that I have ever bought new are motorcycles!
