I have my fog lights on all the time on my XLT, they light up directly in front of the truck and off to the sides which is pretty important when driving around at night. The XLT headlights alone are pretty garbage as they seem to only light up a patch about 75ft in front of the truck. The fogs...
As a long legged person, there is no way I'd try to sleep like that in my short bed. However I often wake up like this in my bed at home. A 6ft bed would help with this whole camping thing, a shame they don't make one for the new gen.
Generic Rant Time: I would love if the fogs or the Turn signals could be the DRL's (but I'm too cheap for forscan), but I do not understand the people who completely disable them. DRL's make you easier to spot all the time, if you think it doesn't 'look' cool, what are you even doing with your...
Sorry about the cover, but it's out of warranty. To expect a company to replace it or anything like that on an out of warranty item is unfair. They warranty it for a year from factory defects. It has been over a year and only now is it showing wear/tear. I understand the desire to dislike a...
My 2020 has only needed the Transmission reflashed. I get jealous every time I see one of the old rangers. Specifically the extended cabs with the suicide doors. Just the simplicity alone makes me want one. I drove the GMC, Chevy, Nissan, and Tacoma before settling on the Ranger. I would not...
I believe I watched a teardown once and it's actually only 4 planetary sets and a buttload of clutch packs to engage or disengage all the different ones simultaneously or separately.
As a popular youtuber might say:
"Welcome to the dumbest automotive [forum] on the internet!" We have a lot of fun here. Watch out, sarcasm comes from all directions.
If you don't mind me asking, what does a 'good deal' on a 2019 Lariat FX4 look like these days?
We always joke at work that we are a multi-billion dollar company that has gone completely paperless as we lug around huge binders of quality records for each unit because it's the only thing that we can trust to be accurate.
Thieves are the worst. Out there taking OTHER people's property instead of getting a real job. Bugs me to no end. Punishment should be much swifter and more severe than it is now. Otherwise we just encourage this behavior.
I don't even consider my truck to be stock! For gosh sakes, I've removed the front air dam, added the tailgate damper, and the biggest mod of all has been the tailgate letters. Whew! That's a lot of modding. /s
Others have answered your questions about longevity vs mods, so my post is unrelated.
I laughed when I saw that you are 17 and were talking about being mature. I'm not doubting that in any way as I was also more mature than my friends at that age, but being 10 years down the road from that now...
The prices are actually not that crazy if you think about inflation.
I paid $33,200 for an XLT 2WD 302A Towing Tech etc in Feb 2021 (Had some dealer discounts)
Today that same amount of money is worth between $38.5-40.2K according to the inflation calculator. Inflation Calc
A brand new...
