- 2019 Ranger XLT FX4

2 Days ago the my 2019 XLT FX4 threw a CEL and started bucking under ANY attempt at acceleration. I made an appointment and dropped it off at the service dept this morning and 4 hours later they tell me one of my coil packs failed. Has anyone heard of this happening on their Ranger? Coil packs tend to be super reliable. Its really weird for one to fail. The truck doesnt have alot of miles on it because of 2020 Covid restrictions and other than some very light usage of gravel roads I havent had a chance to do much offroad use. Basically no real wear and tear.
Such an odd failure.
Also because coil packs are super reliable the dealer didnt have one in stock. So it'll be a day or two. Very odd.
Makes me think about aftermarket hardware. On older WRX's there was plenty of quality aftermarket selection for things like coil packs. And not once did I hear about abject failures like you have to deal with with OEM parts.
If I take this truck overlanding do I need to pack a couple of spare coil packs to be safe?
