The one thing I never liked is the gap around the emblem. Wish they designed it to either hug the ford logo tighter, or perhaps even went over(requiring removal of the logo) and had its own camera lens housing rigging.

To be, its a great add-on but that small issue is a deal breaker for me. Not knocking you of course, just the final design.

Looks very nice - gives it an up-scale look! I like it on black paint. I don't think it would look that good on my Cactus Grey though.

Well, I would have owned the cactus grey had the truck arrived on time. Turned out better that it didn’t, as I got a much, much better deal on this black truck. I think the cactus grey and black are colors that work well together, so you might be surprised how nice he appliqué may look on your truck.

yeah, that caught my eye too. I guess now that it’s on, it’s a non issue for me. It might be a legal issue messing with that logo. It took me awhile to make a decision. I like stock mods, and having Ford endorsement on the appliqué was part of that decision. Thanks.

Was bored last night so I popped the fender vents off and Plasti-Dipped the “Lariat”. Only chrome left are the lugs.

Guess I should pick up some tinted signals for the mirrors ?

I made a mess.

My oil drain catch pan does not work so well with the Ranger. I need an oil drain trough for this truck, how does the oil drain as 2 streams from one hole?!?!

This is the first time I've changed the oil myself on the Ranger, this is its second oil change.

Also, does anyone else have the reset procedure not show any messages? On my RS I've seen the messages just fine, but on the truck the messages never appeared, even after holding the pedals for 45 seconds. I started going through the menus on the info system as I remember I could display oil life there (RS I have to use a scan tool) and was thinking maybe I can reset it from the menus, but when I got there it was reset already and showing 100% oil life remaining already.

I was thinking of doing mine in red ?, did they pop out pretty easy ?
Super easy, they pop right out. Use a plastic pry tool, start at the top by the door pry along the top. I put some painters tape on the body just because I am paranoid.

I came up with another design for mounting both the cell antenna and the shovel on the same side so I can remount my awning on the other...all good now...

You get a oil drain valve (Valvomax or Fumato) with a drain hose.

As far as resetting oil life on my '19 XLT it is in the dash info display under settings, vehicle and scroll down to oil life reset.

Well I was following the directions in the 2021 Ranger FSM for the Oil Life reset, same steps as my 2016 RS, but in the Ranger I didn't get any of the popup prompts that it was resetting (should be a prompt that it will reset with a progress bar, and then confirming reset), but on going to the menu area you mentioned (and I mentioned before) it was already reset, I'm assuming it was reset by the FSM process I did, even though it didn't inform me it was resetting.

The only other thing I can think of is, I logged the Oil change in the Ford Pass app. Maybe when that record as added in the app it sends a reset command to the truck too...., I don't know. I've never heard of it. But I'll do a few things different next time if I remember to see if I can determine what happened.


Also, I can still count on this forum to help me spend my money. I had looked at the Fumato before and didn't like that design. But that Valvomax looks nice.
