Trying to remove grille to clean cooling fins. Manual says to release the clips and pull forward after removing two bolts (see attached). Anybody know how to release the 7 clips? Thanks, Mark

Yes, I took off top and bottom shroud pieces. That's tomorrow's adventure. Thanks, Mark

Today I made something to blow air backwards; got 95%. Tomorrow I'm going to spray with an A/C cleaning fluid and use a hose to clean it. Thanks, Mark

Yes, I believe a chipmunk or something was having a good time in there.

A year ago my 2019 Ranger started overheating when going uphill on a west coast trip towing my 4,500 lb travel trailer. Dealer confirmed everything was functioning properly (thermostat and sensor replaced, fan functioning, no exhaust gases in coolant). Overheated again recently towing on hills...

Agree completely! They should still shut things down to preserve battery power, but provide a message/prompt regarding battery replacement. God knows, they have a lot of other, less critical, messages flashing at us!

I updated Sync3 and it solved my problem ... at least so far ...

Good idea. I have a charger already. When I did it last time I didn't realize it was going to take so long.

I agree, but I may buy anyway. I bought a 5-year download (I think it was $199), which I think covers 3 downloads. It took a while to upload to the truck ... might have cost $199 in gas ...

Thanks for the reply. General consensus is to update Sync3, which I'll do, then make a decision about the map.

Thanks for the reply. I'll update Sync3.

I have 2019 Lariat and updated my Sync3 and map files this past April. My current Sunc3 version is "3.4 Build 22252_PRODUCT" and my current map version is "NA 2 21". I assume the “2 21” means it’s from Feb 2021, but not sure, and that seemed strange considering I did this more than 2 years after...

Yes, I saw that note after I re-read the manual after my trip ... a little late, but better than never. Thanks

Yes, I will try premium next time. Although it overheated, it never felt sluggish. I did go a little slower (50-55) over the Rockies when it was very steep. I always use "Tow Mode" when towing. It has always downshifted what I felt was appropriately. It was definitely in the 4th to 6th range...

I have a 2019 Lariat crew cab. I have about 29k miles towing a 22 ft, 4500 pound Airstream and consistently get a bit over 14 mpg towing at 60-65 mph. When it was new, I did a 300 mile trip and got 17 mpg going 50 mph (speed designated in manual for first 500 miles towing). Maybe the shape of...

Here's my experience, posted July 23, 2023: I'm 70. When I bought my 2019 Ranger in 2019 I decided to buy the Premium Maintenance Plan because I didn't want to be crawling underneath my vehicles any more (been working on cars since I was 15); I'm just not enthusiastic about the up and down on...

It would help to have the trailer GVWR and tongue weights.

My feelings EXACTLY! Where in TN are you? Just curious ... I was born in Chattanooga ... a long time ago! Mark

I'm 70. When I bought my 2019 Ranger in 2019 I decided to buy the Premium Maintenance Plan because I didn't want to be crawling underneath my vehicles any more (been working on cars since I was 15); I'm just not enthusiastic about the up and down on the ground. I had the first oil/filter change...

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if revving higher would be better or not; I'll keep that in mind next time I'm at a steep grade. My gross weight (from CAT Scale) was 9800 lb, so I was close. I guess I need to modify my driving a bit; take it a little more easy, and maybe go into lower gear (I...
