What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Tom M]

Tom, is that the AVS flush-mount hood protector? If so, how do you like it? i just ordered one this weekend after debating whether or not to pull the trigger.

I have the Aeroskin one from Ford. It fits like a glove.

I went to link on Amazon and entered my vehicle and it said does not fit 2019 Ranger. Did you have any problem with fit?........Dano

I installed on my 2019 Ranger and they fit perfectly.

Installed Putco grill insert. All the clips stayed in bumper and had to be dealt with. Also had to add some more 3m tape to take up some of the gap. Looks good though.

I had a super negative experience with Putco, ordered the exact same grille as yours, their website screwed up on the correct part number.
So they set me a grille for a truck without ACC and try to make it look like it was MY fault.
SCREW putco....

Heard those stories, ordered mine from Stage 3 who was outstanding with super fast shipping... even sent the right version! Won me as a fan!

Emailed them this to prove to them they screwed up then waited 3 hours and nothing, no call or email whatsoever. Part number 87163 is for trucks without ACC.
So I call them back and they realize their mistake, no apology or even an offer to send the correct part. The only way for them to send me the correct grille is for me to send the wrong one back, then and only then will they mail me the correct one.
Hesitant to check out Stage 3 because ultimately the $ will go to putco.
putco can take a flying F&*K for all I care.

I agree with you, screw them. They should have shipped that out to you ASAP no questions asked and asked that you ship back the part they originally shipped you at your convenience. AHOLES.

Installed the same on mine, work great so far, pics of the original and with these are in my garage, er, I mean my "Showcase"...

Did an oil change and filter on my 3.2 diesel. Filter is in the same position as your petrol engines, but no little trough underneath. Makes a mess when your remove it. Refill with 9.5 litres of 5W 30 synthetic diesel oil, and good to go.

Latest update on this snafu:
Just got an email from UPS stating that I'll have a delivery today from putco, mind you from UPS, not the sender.
I've a strong suspicion it's a return label, no email at all from putco since yesterday about what they plan to do, really fine communication skills they got...

I also ordered the lower insert from Stage3 when they first offered them. There was an issue with the early orders....Putco had the part numbers reveresed for ACC and non ACC. I received the wrong one and Stage3 immediately handled the issue and sent me the correct one within 3 days. Kudos to Stage3 - GREAT customer service! I also will order from them again.

That's a whole lot more than can said for futco's customer service, UPS showed up today to pick up the wrong part yet futco does not tell me anything about this pickup.
How long ago did you receive the wrong part? I placed my order with futco on March 6, they had to be aware of the error (I hope Stage 3 made them aware of it), yet they did not correct their database until yesterday, March 10.
I'll live without the grille for now, or wait until a reputable company manufactures a similar product.
Mistakes are made, that I can accept, but don't make the customer look like the villian, fix your mistake and remedy the situation in a businesslike manner.
As far as I am concerned futco does not even exist...
