That's why I use DuckDuckGo.
For me personally, given I am always on the ad supported versions of any online platforms (i.e. free), I learned a long time ago being tracked can a bonus.

My wife is a serious lap swimmer. One time I did searches looking for swim suits to get her as a gift. Literally the day I did those searches resulted in months of lovely sidebar female swim suit ads... :)

I’m a plastics and rubber engineer and Just noticed both orange bumpers over rear springs are incompletely filled parts (bottom 1/3 is thin and missing in spots). I can understand how they accidentally got included with good parts at the molder (although it’s not a good sign) since during startup the tool and molding machine has to warm up and settle in. molded parts typically automatically ejected and collected In a box or container. But how can an assembly worker install something like this??? Both sides are bogus.

just contacted dealer to get them replaced, should not be an issue as they are obviously defective from factory. Never seen anything like this on my 2012 Tacoma or 2016 T4R. Ford needs to improve quality control. Pinch welds look like heck, too. Love the Ranger but wish Ford manufactured as well as Toyota. They charge enough for the product!

I guess we can chalk up the jounce bumper ring up to a deleted cost savings. My 21 Tremor is missing it. You can tell they get used though. My guess is the ring provides a certain amount of extra load rating capacity. I feel slighted by Ford in a way, but will get over it I guess.

Tremors have a different bumpstop design. You're not missing the ring. It's a completely different part.

There is no excuse possible for anyone to install such an obviously defective product/part. I can believe my eyes. That is unforgivable. A supervisor should have been informed. That would have held up the assembly line. But, that would have been better than letting a truck go out like that. The line part supplier should have seen that! Quality control must be on vacation at that particular factory.!
