Auto companies often run through several design prototypes. Notice this truck has a front facia instead of a front bumper like the US Ranger. I personally thought it odd that the Ranger didn't conform to the current Ford truck design language. It looks like they do want it to fit stylistically...

There is no 2.7L option in the Ranger. It is 2.3L only.

I wonder if the fuel economy will improve a bit after that initial 1000 mile break in period. I have seen that people report performance increases a good bit after that. They are reevaluating their EPA process right now so I am curious to see what they end up with.

ReadyLift SST kits are usually mid-tier kits with spacers and front Upper Control Arms. Anything over the 2.5" mark on the Ranger starts to take the UCA joint out of optimal flex range. The only other way to correct those angles is with optimized UCAs or new optimized knuckles. UCAs are cheaper...

This article suggests that it is a clay model based on the blacked out windows. I do find it odd that the US version gets a real front bumper and yet this one is shown with a front facia. Also the photos appear to be taken in Australia which is where Ford has been developing the Ranger for...

I am guessing you will make a video of the install/mod?

Was thinking about using a tennis ball myself.

Most likely unfortunately.

Any rear facing seat in the Ranger is going to make things uncomfortable. Those car seats take up so much space! That is a holdup for me currently as I have a rear facing seat and I know it won't fit in the rear well after a few test drives. I should say that it will fit, but the front passenger...

I know @rangerdanger shared this in another thread but I think it also fits well here. The guy gets some of the details wrong but many reviewers are.

So true! Part of the reason I moved out. Still love my Memphis Tigers though.

The steering box and/or linkages are wearing out which is causing that wobble most likely. This is a problem I have seen on quite a few Ram truck as they don't appear to have a beefy enough steering box to handle the large wheel/tire combos over time. While I can tell you that there isn't any...

Ask the specific service department at the dealership you would take the truck to for warranty service. Some don't want any type of modification while others will let you mod quite a bit. Some will install a lift kit for you while others don't even like a leveling kit. They can only turn down a...

The issue here is where the tire can make contact with a plastic push pin cover for the front crash bar. The overall tire height is the issue here. You really should stay as close to or slightly under 32 inches. • 275/70R18 ends up at 34.2 tall and 10.8 wide. • 265/70R18 ends up at 32.6 tall and...

I drove an XLT that was optioned with the power folding mirrors. It was pretty slick.

So the only thing I found that was alarming while driving the Ranger was after I shut the tailgate and hopped back in to drive. I easily saw daylight through the tailgate and the latch side of the bed. So much so that I stopped the truck to check and make sure that I did indeed shut the...

Agreed!

The wheel/tire combo will change the ride quality more than the slight lift. Off-road tires on 20s will be much more rough than road tires on 18s.

Thanks! Couldn't get the info bubbles to pop up on mobile but it worked on a computer.

Typically stock wheels are 8 inches wide. The height is easy to find but not width. I haven't see the info anywhere. Curious about width on the 17's and 18's.
