  1. Ranger vs. GMC AT4 in 2024

    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...
  2. A Subie took me out.. Estimate guesses?

    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
  3. Ford ranks among worst in JD Power customer service survey of 2020-2022 vehicles

    I have noticed, through my work that most products manufactured during the pandemic have had a detrimental loss of quality
  4. Another transmission thread (yay)

    Sheesh!..up here in the northeast we're looking at $0.17/kwh, that is if you shop around...AND most of that electricity comes from coal/natural gas
  5. Another transmission thread (yay)

    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...
  6. Ford ranks among worst in JD Power customer service survey of 2020-2022 vehicles

    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
  7. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    My coworker traded his model T for this: It's a '65 with a 289 with a 4 bbl and electronic ignition....
  8. I'll Say It Again & Again, I Love This Truck!

    Dude...you were rocking to limp bizkit?....no wonder you were doing 80!
  9. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    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...
  10. Ranger vs Outback

    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...
  11. Towing beast!

    no problem...they clear the UCA with not much to spare and not even close to the crash bars
  12. Any special steps required with battery replacement?

    Glad I saw this...I changed my battery last Saturday and forgot to reset the BMS...all done!
  13. Towing beast!

    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...
  14. Towing beast!

    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...
  15. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    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...
  16. First emergency braking event... Ranger wins my heart!

    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
  17. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works and How to Properly Charge Your Battery!

    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
  18. Ranger sales vs. competition

    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...
