I want one, but 2k is too much right now.
Right now I want a bull bar to tide me over, but will probably leave it bald until I can afford this bumper

We will be offering a bumper for the Ranger. Should have one mounted next week. Angry Iron Metalworks

So I installed it, looked like the sensors would be clear.... But they are not. The front 2 sensors alert every time I go to drive..
I've looked in the display menu's settings and can't find an option to turn off the parking aid. Of course that's what it says in manual.
I'm open for ideas.

That looks sharp. I have an email into them about the parking sensors. I haven't got a response.

Thanks, I really like it. Just got to get the sensor problem fixed.

I wonder if there's a way to recalibrate the sensors....

You can turn off the parking sensors using the button in the cluster where the Auto Stop/Start button is. Same place you would turn off Traction control, turn on tow mode, etc:

I would call the manufacturer of the grille guard tomorrow and see what they have to say since your a customer now.

And I'm pretty sure that button also disables the rear sensors as well.

Either way, the truck looks good!

OK, I have an update.
Since I had purchased the auto start stop eliminator I got to thinking if they could do the same thing with the parking aid.... So I emailed them and explained the situation. Travis at Auto stop eliminator looked into it and made a modification to the connector. It's on its way to me. I will update when I get it installed.

Just FYI, if you go this route you will need to contact them directly.

I have adaptive cruise control and break assist on my 19 ranger. Are the sensors in question also responsible for those features? I had a car pull out in front of me that I didn’t see the other day and the truck stopped on it’s own, so I’d hate to mess with that feature at all.
