High Mileage Ranger Report

[woodworker]

I have a 1x4 with a piece of carpet stapled to it nailed into the back wall of the garage. Ease into the garage until the front bumper touches it and I still only have 1.5" clearance with the garage door.

Yeah, that’s cutting it close there.

What can I say, nearing the 95,000 miles mark on my 2019 XLT and all is good...or should I say absolutely fantastic! I've had zero zip nada...not one single issue with this truck. It has seen the worst of roads. In fact, I drive it weekly off-road down here in the Florida Everglades. The engine is perfect, runs just like the first day off the show room floor. I've had no issues with anything else on the truck, either, not one single hiccup. Everything is functioning as good as new. I've performed routine maintenance with regular oil changes through my local dealer, the works package which includes tire rotation. Everything on the truck is bone stock, including the tires. Gas mileage is holding steady at 26.5 on the rural roads of Palm Beach County, going back and forth to work--city driving. Not bad at all! Can't ask for more as far as reliable is goes, imho. Both my previous F-150's had some issues by this point. And I've heard of horror stories on here from others with their Rangers but I just can't see any of that happening with this truck here. Knock on wood or just good luck or maybe my driving style, all is holding steady. Hope the same with others!

148,000 on my 2021 and not even a tiny quirk or issue. It goes in every 5000 miles for whatever it needs. Can’t say one bad word about it…

I really enjoy hearing reports like this. Thanks for sharing it. I'm at about 64k now and I've been trouble free - it has been a great truck for me, but all the reports of transmission failures does concern me. I'm doing what I can to extend the life of the transmission (fluid changes mostly), but it is really good to hear not everyone has had a transmission replaced early.

I'm in it for the long haul, so even if I do have to replace the transmission I will still be better off than buying something else.

i feel the same about buying new, at 71, my new car days are past. That’s why I take very good care of this one.
Plugs at 60k and 120k.
Trans flush at 90k.
All drive line fluids at around 100k.
Brake fluid flush twice now.
Fuel system flush around 90k.
New belt(s) at 100k.
Coolant flush at around 100k.
Engine oil change EVERY 5000 miles.
Bilstein coil overs and alignment 84k.
And other minor items.
Probably overkill but it has been absolutely flawless to this point at 148,000 miles.

I like it, kinda follows the lines and curves.

Good to hear! I’ve had 2 Rangers, 2019 and my current 2024 and they behave exactly the same. I really wasn’t looking to get into another Ranger. It happened on an oil change day, kicking around in the dealer showroom killing time…well, I drove off with the 2024 that graced the floor. I can honestly say that my 2019 (as far as a running engine goes and at over 130k miles) felt identical to the new 2024 engine. I really couldn’t tell the difference.

Yes. And if you look right below the license plate, these is an expanded metal grill piece I ordered from somewhere that fills up that big open space below the bumper.

I have a Mountains to Metal space filler there.

Certainly NOT "high mileage", but there was a brief time I thought I wouldn't get this far.

60k, I esnt in for a TSB for the transmission just before I ran out of the warranty. Need to do the fluid changes soon. The TSB worked fine, nice & smooth now. Before it was an issue on braking, felt like someone was hitting me. No other issues, love the truck.
