I just went back and looked at my order from Discount Tire. Sure enough, mine were XLs. Did not remember that.
Not sure how they even determine SL vs XL, because another a size right next to mine has the same weight rating, but is SL instead of XL.
I have Wildpeak AT4Ws on my truck for the last 5,000 miles and really like them. They’re quiet and are wearing well. Standard load. No need for LT tires unless you really need the weight handling. LT tires will just add extra unsprung weight and hurt fuel mileage.
Damn dealers gouge people. The Motorcraft throttle body is $136 from RockAuto and is fairly easy to replace.

The TPS is integral on modern drive-by-wire throttle bodies. They are generally not considered to be...
Funny that this thread came up because I just pulled my rear brakes apart this afternoon to do a little maintenance and cleaning. My rear pads were squealing under light braking until the brakes warmed up a bit.
Pulled the pads, cleaned them with a wire brush, dug the junk out of the groove in...
Yup. It’s literally meant to mean “stain less”. Stainless can still rust and there’s lots of evidence of Cybertrucks already exhibiting rusting and corrosion. And that they may spontaneously die in a car wash or combust in general.
I’m all for EVs, but the Cybertruck is a garbage vehicle...
Last spring-ish, I used the Berryman Intake Valve and Combustion Chamber cleaner kit on my Ranger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081TKBG18. Did it help? I don't know, maybe. Placebo effect and all, ya know. It didn't hurt anything either.
From what I've read, the main takeaways on these...
The wiring harness to the windshield is different if you don't have the auto-dimming mirror.

If you have the correct harness, then you can either tap into it, or...
I think you answered your own question. If it's a "just because" mod, then I suppose go for it if you like it. You'll have to cut a hole in your passenger front fender.
For actual off-roading purposes, the truck will be FUBAR'd from other things before the air intake starts drawing in water...
I’d have to agree. There’s nothing you can do to increase the GVWR of a vehicle. The frame and other components have their limits.
You can add something like a helper leaf spring, Icon’s stiffer leaf springs, or SumoSprings so the truck can better support the weight without squatting. But shy...
I would agree. Looks great now. All of that negative toe on the front was definitely eating tires. Negative front toe angles mean the tires were running like this:

Yep, this is also true if you go for the stage 2/2.0 kit. The stage 1 kit uses a snap ring to set the height of the spring perch, so you'll be disassembling if you change your mind.
edit: Another recommendation to improve the Ranger's ride is to replace the terrible rear leaf springs with...
I would also recommend the Eibach shocks. I installed them on all four corners, and they've been great.

Rear: https://eibach.com/product/E60-35-048-01-01?epsid=1935
Can also get a kit that includes new springs, but I opted to keep...
Not to drag an old thread up…but I’m gonna. I still struggle with this issue on my truck. It’s done it occasionally over the last four years I’ve owned it. I can almost reliably reproduce it. It always occurs right after startup under light throttle. Like when I’m trying to slowly navigate a...
I just had a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T4W installed on my Ranger. Ruined one of my original Hankooks with a tarp strap hook. Although they had about 7/32" left on them at 24,600 miles, I saw it as an opportunity to get rid of them.
So far, the Falkens ride great, they're quiet, and the truck...
