We like it alot. For the two of us and our three ferrets it is the perfect. We have the one with the twin beds, RP-191. So, no crawling over each other in the middle of the night. Too bad they don’t make that floor plan anymore.
I was only going to seal them off temporarily for the test but was at the Dealer today and the asst. service mgr. said to not even do that. He had not heard of another 5g Ranger with a wind noise problem and no service bulletins on it? I will follow Dave's advice and have someone to ride in the rear seats and listen for noise. Also got the replacement drivers side wind deflector today and will install to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the details, that sounds really good and perfect for what we want. Two of us and Cheech and our kayaks. Probably never more than a week and most likely 2 or 3 nights at a time.
Let us know how well these deflectors work, I'm on the fence about them but do like to leave my windows cracked in the summer. So i guess my big question is any wind noise and also mirror blockage.I was only going to seal them off temporarily for the test but was at the Dealer today and the asst. service mgr. said to not even do that.

David,
Bummer about your A/C.....I'm guessing you need the climate control module changed out. So some good news for the trip. The weather up here is still really good. We're projected at 45F for a high this Friday (May 20th). Early June should be good for ya'll as you head up to SD. We typically don't get super hot till July in Colorado. Now Moab, not sure about that one but I bet it will be great at night in the desert, but you already know all about thatWent to Mexico today to do a quick adjustment to the dental implant I had installed back in March. The trip was great and got good mileage ( 24.7 mpg) round trip averaging 70 mph.
One thing I did find out is the darn HVAC actuator door (or whatever it's called) doesn't work now on the drivers side. It was 106 when we left and of course my side is blowing hot air while the passengers side is cold. Made for a long ride home as even when the vents are closed you still get some hot air through them. The only thing I had in my truck was some paper targets behind the seat so I had my gf hold one one her side to deflect so cold air towards me. Now I hope this can be fixed quickly as we're leaving in a couple weeks for vacation.
Edit: I found the thread here. Now to see if there's parts available.
Border Crossing at Los Algodonez,MX
Once it gets hot and the snowbirds go home the streets are empty this time of year.
We didn't get to stop at Dateland for a date shake Duke @DukeCanBuildit. I was looking forward to one after we were talking about it this morning but with the ac the way it was I was just want ting to get home and out of the hot truck. ?

I might just leave it stuck on heat!? I'm going to pull the actuator out and just manually control it. It looks like a quick easy job so I'm guessing it'll take me all darn day. Usually that's how things work out but who knows I might get lucky as it looks like it's an easy fix.?
Paul, I wish I looked that good!
That's it? For me it's 100$ now ?
great truck and its got all the best options without too much fluff.I went and visited it at the dealer today. Couple more days, and it will be going home with me! Here it is looking lost and alone in the back lot waiting for PDI
