After getting mine and dealing with the Ranger wallow...I changed the rear shocks out to Eibach Pro Truck shocks. 100% improvement, best thing I did.

I picked up my 2020 on Dec 3rd. Same as everyone else tire pressure was 45 psi all tires. Drive home I was getting jounced in the cab like a rag doll. Brought them all down to 30 psi. Been smooth sailing since. Over the Christmas weekend I bled out the air and refilled with nitrogen. That should give me more stable pressure over the winter months coming. Got the tank setup already so why not! Good luck with your new ride, I’m lovin mine for sure

I've had an issue with the SuperCab rear door sensor on the driver side since the beginning. Every so often, the sensor will report the door closed until you hit a big enough bump or the body torques enough to trigger the door open alert. Stopping to open both doors and closing again solves the problem, but sometimes it's rather annoying, like the time when we were on a relatively narrow 2-lane highway with a trailer in tow and nowhere to safely pull over to reset the doors. Had to listen to the alarm randomly ding for 10 miles or so, which drove us nuts.

If the door really isn't closed securely, you'd think that it would let you know as soon as you shifted out of "Park" instead of waiting until addressing the problem is an inconvenience or unsafe. I've assumed that this is an adjustment the dealer can make; I've just been forgetting to mention it every time I've been at the dealer.

Got ours on the 21st, only 400km so far but door ajar 3 times, started pushing at top, time will tell. Tires are at 38, truck says 38, so that's good. Need to check oil, see if
any gas or height of oil on stick. Need to check washer fluid too. XLT FX4.
Nice ride, doing 18 miles per gallon so far, was hoping for better need to wait till
1,500 km to see the consumption.
I have the Hankook, so far not too impressed, again, time will tell.
Nothing else to say.
Love the truck, enjoy.

John, I thought exactly the same thing when I was trying to find a place to pull over.

I learned quickly that starting from a stop I need to keep my foot out of the turbo. When I got the hang of it the mpg's starting getting better. It is tough though. I love the "giddy up, an go" in the little truck.

Having just sold my '12 Prius, I am still hypermiling my XLT scab....finally got it up to 23.7mpg. It is all in the right foot. Yes there are those that ride your bumper. Advertised 26 mpg highway must all be downhill with a tailwind. Otherwise, love this truck!

I'm not hard on the pedal, but just doing short trips now, so 18mpg would be
expected, I guess. Tried that S option, wow, very nice.
