I saw a made in Mexico version here in the Denver metro.....wish I could have taken a picture. The tailgate was different. I don't think the Ranger tailgate indention was the same as ours....it was weird.
Sadly, I may be done with Ford products after the 5g with their new marketing strategy. I'm not about to pay these additional mark-ups so the dealers can cash in on the new "no lot inventory" situation.
There are plenty of other folks that make as good or better vehicles that don't pull that...
I would ditch that K&N Mark.....I ran one for about 50K and I'm convinced they are not good for our turbo system on the 2.3L...
I also run a tune (not Ford) and I believe that you can't use any extra airflow based on the off-the-shelf tuning. So why have anything other than the factory...
I've had the LTX tires on an SUV in the past....great tire! I currently run KO2's on my 19' Ranger. Mine are "E" rated, which are 10-ply and very hard rubber. They are very nice on the highway, smooth and quiet. Now on collector streets with any roughness they ride fairly rough. Depending on...
I think you are SO correct. I have been in the market for a Maverick for a couple of weeks and the dealers that have access to any stock want crazy mark-ups! There is absolutely no way I would ever pay a $5K - $10K premium for ANY vehicle. I just have to do without it and choose another to be...
Based on the prices for 5g Rangers (XLT's) on the lot right now, no way.....23' XLT MSRP $44,420.....ouch!
Ford is allowing dealers to sucker punch would be vehicle owners with these additional premium fees for hard to get or popular models......
It's nothing short of price gouging....
I...
I have the RC 2.5 inch level kit on mine and it's never been COMPLETELY level. It's close enough though.....looks great to me is really all that matters. I do get constant compliments on how my Ranger looks so I guess others feel the same.
I can't afford to pay for the damages to my truck with this inflation going on.....lol.
I understand about the soft shift programming. Thing is I can feel a bit of a bump at times with the hard shift tuning which concerned me with all the transmission talk. Sid started getting a bump before his...
Thanks for asking for my opinion....I also am not some mechanic type that knows everything and obviously my shortcomings are pointed out in here all the time....lol (I could give a rats arse.) I'm a biologist with an aircraft mechanic background.....lol. Anyway, I agree with the article and have...
LOL....aren't you a sweetie!
Spoken like a true Coloradan.....
Oh, btw Dougie.....go Troll someone else sweetheart....you seem to like that kind of thing.....:bandit:
Transmission burned up in my 2020 Hyundai Kona commuter, so I'm looking for a new ride. I really like the car/truck feel of the Maverick and the only other competitor in that market.....the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Sadly there really isn't any competition between the 2 because you can't find a...
I LOVE to make power with my Ranger.....but beware of the bottom end on these 2.3L engines when you get the HP up too high....which is variable. Bottom line is you don't want to be the next thread starter for the "I Threw A Rod" post. If I were you I would search through some of these kind of...
Hey Phil,
I'm intrigued to say the least. All this tranny talk and then here we go with the black cloud. My Kona transmission is gone at 91,500. The wonderful thing about Hyundai is that 10/100K warranty. The dealer will be installing a completely new factory transmission this next week so I am...
I absolutely hate that technology!! It scared the crap out of me the first time it took over......
I keep that turned OFF!!
Worse than that is the automatic braking on my Kona!! You can't turn it off no matter what!!
It will hurt you if someone stops quick in traffic.....
Scary....something must be in air! I was posting earlier on the transmission thread.....went out to my daily driver Hyundai Kona Ultimate.....low and behold she does nothing when shifted into Reverse.
Drive seems fine but Reverse is no bueno....I have a service appt for Friday morning...
Transmission programming seems to be a big factor in all of this. I've had a high performance tune flashed to my truck since 30K (at 97K now). I have had a few instances of the transmission "bump" over time but not to the extent some have experienced in here. Always would happen in D when...
