yeah, i'm glad the sales guy i went through to get my truck didnt push this stuff too hard. I know a guy at the dealer and asked him which sales rep i should go through. When ready for the PDI and everything he asked "hey, fill out this sheet and sign it for anything else you want" I returned it...

My Mom just bought an Edge ST, had to go through all the hassle of getting the dealer to not put wheel locks on (asked the dealer to not put em on, and they put them on anyways, when asked to take them off the dealer said they'd have to bill an hour of labor, on a car that she didnt own yet...

At least Chrysler's QC is consistent... You havent really worked at an auto supplier if you havent gotten caught up in helping Chrysler fix a problem that really should never have happened...

I dont remember when i was told they changed it, but there was a point in production where Ford stopped putting the middle tiedowns on rangers. Mine was built in May and has all 6 tiedowns.

From what i've heard, in the first image those two threaded holes are for mounting that front tiedown up higher. Other two points seem to just be punched holes in the sheetmetal without reinforcement (but i havent looked at these myself). Last image, the lower-left one is what we have been...

I've noticed since i dropped my tire pressure from 47 to the door sticker 30 my truck bounces around a lot more than i'd like. It almost feels like it's under damped now.

We learned about this a little bit the hard way during my recent senior project. We were bolting a 304 SS plate to an aluminum plate using regular steel shoulder bolts. combined with a summer of 85%+ RH and the bolts were starting to get a layer of rust within a few weeks. The bolts running...

you would actually have some issues using stainless steel bolts because the bed is not made of stainless steel.

Ranger's bed is all steel. Only the hood, (front) fenders, and tailgate are aluminum

I just spent some more time over in allendale this past week and saw at least 4 different rangers over there. though never got a chance to pull out my phone. Seems that they're just uncommon in GR

oh god, i have too many hobbies and getting the ranger has only added to the things i want to buy! Most expensive one i've got is Airsoft: Family photo: Tokyo Marui Howa Type 89 E&L AK-74N Cyma AKS-74UN But i also like making mead and model building I've also got reading, PC gaming...

If anyone gets one for a saber Ranger, please post a pic so i can gauge the color to get!

Apple has been running into issues lately with the priorities that its devices have involving USB (Like when they had the issue of plugging an iphone into a laptop and the two devices agreed the most logical thing to do was to charge the laptop with the phone). If only we had some kind of...

What pressure was your spare at? mine was at 48 psi when i checked it...

that the cover managed to fall off on a sealed module is impressive. Even it it had been struck, i'd expect bits to be left behind. Take it to the dealer and complain.

So these fit into the two larger oval holes in the side of the bed? (pic below) How much modification do they need, is it like a job for a dremel, or will a hand file work? I'd really love to just add a reinforcing plate under the rails or something and add some tiedowns there. Would make it...

Anyone know of bed cap/rack options which use a removable canvas cover? I know there's one thread here about a rack with that, but I'm trying to find and compare options.

XLT W/ FX4 and the technology package. Hit 1000 miles on my way back to GR from the east side of the state. Just installed my soft bed cover, and had reset my mileage before heading out. Drove 25mph for about two miles, then about 15 miles at 55 mph, then the rest was at 70+, mainly around 75...

A canvas-covered rear topper is something i've been looking for! i'm excited to see the canvas cover! How much does this weigh compared to a bed cap of similar size? I also like all the extra slots/holes, will make it much easier to add custom tiedowns and such. How does this mount into the bed?

Among CAFE emissions requirements, NHTSA rollover requirements, and Ford's refusal to give up the durability of a fully-boxed frame, there's a major need for them to make anything they can lighter on the F-series, and a bit on the ranger too. Every non-structural ounce you save can save weight...
