gave it a good wash after doing a 1100 mile round trip...the return trip hauling a 5x8 Uhaul trailer full of furniture plus my wife and two kids gave about 18 MPG at a steady 66 mph

Nope...4x4 STX FX4 with 32" cooper discos...set cruise to 68 and go And, yes, sort of driving downhill, from NH to MD:wink:

I put 520 miles on mine in one sitting....managed a whopping 26.3 (calculated) MPG...

Funny, I had a 2014 Forester that burned oil; I ended up getting a new short block at 30k miles...that one didn't burn any oil but probably because I used Redline full synthetic 5W30 from the get go...part of the issue with 2014's was the panther piss they used for oil (0W20), that in...

A 2014 Subaru Forester with a 6-speed manual tranny... had 72k miles, a new short-block at 30k, a front end accident at 32k miles and working on its second rear wheel bearing

put me in for $4,995.95, assuming your bulkhead is ok

Forscan...zero issues

auto start-stop...most annoying thing ever conceived by man!

Installed the OEM 4/7 pin harness and receptacle on my ranger

Not necessarily in order... 54 years old..for a couple more months First Ford was my second car, a baby blue 1984 Escort L with 4 speed manual I learned to drive mostly between a 1974 Dodge Coronet with a 318 and 3-on-a-tree and a 1975 Datsun pickup truck with a 4 banger and 4 speed (with a...

Well, the point is that it would be nice if Ford, which offers manuals on Rangers worldwide, would offer them in the U.S.&A..so, it's not that "people don't want them" because some do; I among them. In fact, there is no need to "design it in"or invest in R&D to find the right gearbox", because...

I'm twitching right now!

I would LOVE to have a 6-speed manual on my Ranger, and like Elmosaurus, will take a manual any day of the week. This is my first automatic, all vehicles I've owned before have been manuals, including two 3.0 V6 4x4 Rangers. On every vehicle I've owned, I have been able to beat the EPA mpg...

I gave the black beast of AAAAAAAGH its fourth oil change at 19,883 miles...rocking it out with a FUMOTO oil valve and if it weren't for those darn flap clips I could do it in under 1/2 hr!...It took me just under an hour, including changing the cabin air filter

100% agree...I've had much worse stock tires on my two previous rangers including a sharp piece of gravel slicing right between sidewall and tread (Firestone Destination AT)

Don't know if you have seen these: Granted, they went on the easy trails, but the stock kooks handled...ok...but I would agree that their snow performance sucks. That said, I used mine for two years in New Hampshire with no issues; since switched to Cooper Discoverer AT3's good luck

I recall when picking up my truck from the stealership, they had my stock hankooks at something like 42 psi!....waaay over inflated. Ended up running those at 34 psi

Gary, don't bother with a stock alloy wheel unless you plan to do a 5-tire rotation. The steel wheel does just fine as a spare. And yes, there is room forward for the tire to go, you just need to give it a nudge as you winch it past the hitch

I had mine like that for a while and I find that the steel wheel tends to trap a lot of dirt/sand/salt in that position. So what I tend to do now is drop the spare when I rotate tires and use it in lieu of a jack; giving me a chance to look the thing over, check pressure, etc. With only a couple...

The ford stock hitch should have no issues accommodating a full 32" spare. My Curt hitch is not the low profile one but the "HD" one (whatever that means). The Cooper disco in 265/70/17 lists a diameter of 31.6", and there is maybe 1/16" of clearance between it and my hitch. Like I said earlier...
