I tried the new 4-banger turbo on a '23 z71 silverado I had for a rental while my Ranger was at the doctors getting its bumper and rear quarter panel replaced... piece of s#!t
The engine went eco (cyl 2&3) shutdown way too soon and didn't bother how to change it/shut it off. So, yeah, on paper...
Dang! I won something...now to clear out a spot foe that grille in my garage. Full disclosure, last october some nimrod rammed my rear qt panel and bumper so I had an inkling of what things go for these days; what with america being back and all
By the way they behave sometimes (gear skipping) I have to agree...would have been all over a 6-speed manual if they offered one. I dream of picking up a 6-speed off a wrecked mustang 4 banger and make the conversion. Would have to source a bunch of parts from ROTW rangers (like center console...
Well there was a Sabre one, a Lariat demo with a few k miles on it when I bought my truck, but it didn't have the FX4 package so I went fro the black beast of AAAAAAAGGHHHH! instead...I have to admit Sabre is the best Ranger 5G color
well, technically yesterday; while leaving camp in the middle of a snow storm (one of those preceded by 1/2 inch of ice that can turn a driveway into soap), I had to engage "beast mode" ("sand" on terrain management), I managed to pick up a shard of brick on one my rear tires right between the...
I traded my 2014 Forester for my Ranger, the only saving grace on the Forester was the 6-speed manual (sadly no longer available ) and 50/50 viscous coupling center diff on mine that made it pretty much unstoppable under almost any conditions-with the right tires. My Ranger has better engine...
Yes I remember that from your trip last summer, Dave. The same goes with me; as long as I don't mash on the skinny one at every stop light, I get good results, and I, like you am running 32" tires (no lift tho). I have read several others in this forum who had managed over 24 mpg, so definitely...
Some things Andrei says sometimes seem like...I dunno...like "this truck is rated at 24 mpg highway and we've never seen it"....dude, I got over 26 mpg more than once on long trips. But get this, with cold, dense air at altitude and flying down the highway at 75 mph, don't expect to match EPA...
After seeing my truck drop bluetooth at random and, this morning, it disabled the radio...came home and measured battery voltage at 11.5 V. Threw it on the charger while priced out new batteries. Got almost exactly three years off the OEM battery (full disclosure, I live in New Hampshire where...
My 2019 STX FX4 does not have a LED row, but the center LED screen in my dash flashes red and beeps when AEB activates...can be annoying because it often activates when I start passing some slow poke and I'm late putting my blinker on
So glad I deleted my ASS with FORSCAN, probably why despite 3 years of short commutes (3 miles one way), I've had zero issues with my battery or its state of charge
What I've seen around my parts is a general lack of new Rangers on dealers' lots; a sprinkle of used ones on mainly one dealer, and the used ones don't last very long. This has been the case for at least 9 months. There are 4 (three smaller and one major) Ford dealerships near where I live that...
