Reliability and Feedback.

[Shelby American]

Still waiting on my Tremor,and wanting to know how everyone's experience has been so far. Any problems or complaints?
Saw some posts on the web where some Ranger owners were complaining about the transmission, especially early on before the break-in period.

I'm only 500 miles in but no complaints so far, including shift points. The only issue I've had was me being too dumb to realize the interior rattle was my GFs sunglasses in the overhead but this forum fixed that for me lol.

Imagine the rattle if the wife found the GF’s sunglasses

I’ve had mine since June 5, 2019. I have 36,000 miles on it. I’ve had absolutely NO issues. It runs like a dream. I just can’t seem to park it straight…but that’s another story.

Try a different pair of glasses....

Almost 2000 miles, absolutely no problems on my 2021....look for excuses to drive it as much as possible. "Hay honey, gotta go up to the hardware store to get that 1/4 inch washer I forgot to get this morning" !!!
It's not a Tremor, but they all have the same engine/tranny.

I have had my Tremor for over 10k so far. I really love it. I get an average of 21 mpg in DFW traffic. It loves 65 - 70 mph and hates city traffic. I had to adjust my mpg after manually checking myself after several refills. I originally thought I was getting 23 mph.

It is comfortable and looks great. I get so many compliments and slow down and stares as going down the highway. I love driving it on small trips across Texas on the weekends.


Noise is not bad at all. The B&O speakers are great.

Love cleaning her.

Solid power, and good pick up from a stop.

Only issue and it is small is the front tire rub a small bit in the tight turn. I replaced a plastic plug that was taken off.

Oh, if you have dogs, get a seat cover quickly. The suede leather can scratch easy. Very pretty, and cleans easy. My knuckleheads have only been allowed in the truck once, and of course I got a scratch. I have since bought a weathettech cover.

I love mine, and hope to be like the guy that drives it 30 years from now. Great truck that makes me smile everyday.

I added a color match spray in bed liner (love it), a Ford folding cover (love it), tail pipe cover (love it), and other small cosmetic items. I am still going to add red tow hooks, and bed lights.

I have not figured a used for the switches yet.

My only real wish would have been an inclusion of a front camera that is on my wives Edge. It would have been a natural fit for an off road truck.

Overall. I love mine. Smile everyday, and drive scared of these DFW drivers. I want to have her for a very long time.

Good luck and enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

16 months and still love mine like the day I brought it home! ? I wouldn't get to hung up about what you read and let the drivetrain break in for at least a couple thousand miles. I'm not saying some don't have problems but I think once someone mentions something other think they hear/feel the same now. lol

450 miles on my tremor so far so good. The 10 speed does shift a little fast but it's not as bad as some have said in my opinion. Good power nice ride great looks. B&O system needs some work. All in all alot of fun to drive and spend money on.

After just having towed a loaded uhaul trailer most the way across the country and hitting 12k miles on the odo, can confirm. Great truck no regrets so far. I do agree that there is a transmission learning period, but mine sorted itself out after about 500 miles. And it's not uncomfortable to start out, just can take awhile to pick which gear it likes until it figures out how you drive.

 

[Bob902]

8500 miles including a 2500 mile road trip this summer to Texas. Zero issues so far. Only problem I have is my 17 year old keeps stealing it. Dang truck thief.

9800 miles on my 2021 and no issues, other than the ™£¢∞§ Hankook white lettering is leaching out.
Never used anything stronger than carwash soap at home and spray-only at the car wash, and no dressings. They are wearing ok, but it really detracts from the overall look. Iv'e seen other Hankooks do this, so if you have a Ranger ordered with any package than includes Hankook tires, you may want to ask the dealer to turn them inward when the truck arrives.?

 

[Ranger54]

Mines a Lariat FX4 (with all the Tremor Goodies) Best vehicle I have owned. 10 months, 7100 miles here. Massive snow storms, a few trips to the ORV park, daily driven, 3, 300 mile road trips. Average 18.7mpg city, 21mpg highway. Mods: Ford Performance tune, K&N filter, MBRP dual exhaust, leveling kit, tremor wheels, LT285/70r17 BFG’s wheel spacers, fox shocks and fender flares. Still stare at it constantly when I lock the doors and walk away. Thought the “new” would have worn off by now. It just gets better and better.

The Hankook tires were the most disappointing thing about my Ranger.

I couldn't wait to get rid of them.

The Falken Wildpeaks are light years better, but then again, Leroy's Hot Dogs and Tire Shop could've hooked me up with better tires than the Hankooks.

As far as reliability, my truck had the fuel in oil issue. The dealer replaced the HPFP and that resolved it.

Only other issue has been that my parking brake boot cracked, also replaced under warranty.

Overall review: Would I buy it again? Yup.

Just over 10k miles with my Tremor, man I would guess at least 2k miles of that towing our travel trailer. No issues. I have beat on it a bit off road too.

I am writing these items as a HAPPY owner of this truck. It does so well off-road and towing, these are so minor to me but figured you asked so I will tell. I would for sure purchase this truck again.

Main complaints are that the breadcrumbs feature is useless, not sure if it even logs more than 5 miles meanwhile my Honda Pilot I can do at least 700miles with data logging my path (Vegas to CA and back including the driving I did there). Would be nice if Android Auto map would show in the map field when in the "home" screen. When Android auto is in use and in the home screen, the map field just shows a map icon.

I have some minor paint defects. It is like some debris was under the paint in a spot or two. More worried of a junk repair so have not mentioned it yet to Ford. The grey Tremor also had the type of defect I have on my truck except being black, I did not notice it till the first wash....so kinda eh about it.

Just some silly places Ford saved money. One touch only on driver side, no ignition switch trim (gap between ignition and steering column (got the ebay trim piece), center arm rest compartment could have been utilized better (got an Amazon storage tray for the Ranger there), no center tow strap anchors in the bed, etc.

Does your truck have the factory spray-in bedliner? My truck Is Carbonized Grey and I had a couple areas where there was overspray on the outside of the box & cab corners. It first appeared that the debris was under the paint, but the service writer said "We've seen this before" and had the dealership's body shop buff it out.
