All, I’m going to do my best to summarize what I’ve learned on this forum as well as tinkering with a former car of mine (2004 Cobra Mustang). With that in mind, please take everything I say with a grain of salt, as I am merely trying to pay it forward. First and foremost, with any of...

Xplorre, I agree with the others—don't jump into DIY repairs just yet. A truck being shoved 5 feet while parked likely caused internal transmission damage, and that crooked steering wheel means something is definitely bent. Plus, those taillights are packed with expensive sensors, not just...

Robert, I can sympathize with your situation as I was in the same boat as you at one point. The number of wheel and tire choices can make your head spin for sure. I would say that to go with 17-inch rims over 18-inch rims (depending on your financial situation) is a solid move. A lot of guys...

2thdr, I'm in the same general boat with my truck (although I have a little over 100,000 miles on mine). I've also noticed that "wallowing" feeling in the shocks, and I plan on holding onto my truck for the long haul—the goal is to pass it down to my son for his first vehicle in the...

Dtech, I was thinking about the easiest way to transport your inflatable boat and had an idea you might find helpful. Have you considered a hitch-mounted truck bed extender? These extenders slide into your truck's 2-inch receiver and can extend the bed of your truck by up to 4 feet. Many...

Steve, Without knowing a little more about you and what you prioritize, the world is your oyster when it comes to modifying your Ranger. Here are a couple of the major areas and a few examples of each: Performance Modifications (taking into account you kinda want to stay away from these but...

Dave, While the online "horror stories" can be alarming, it's important to remember that not every owner of a vehicle with a 10R80 transmission will experience these issues. The sheer volume of vehicles produced with this transmission means that even a small percentage of failures can result in...

Dave, Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your 5th generation Ford Ranger! You've found the perfect place to connect with other owners and enthusiasts. This community is a fantastic resource for everything from troubleshooting and maintenance tips to sharing your latest modifications...

Stephen, Please read below: 1. I put some nice 18inch winter tires on since I’m up in the land of snow 8 months of the year. That being said I had to remove my front mudflaps since the tires were rubbing ( specifically on the screw heads) when I was steering. They still rub slightly but only...

Scarzanger 21 (2.0), Here are a couple of options for you. Of note, I did all of these in succession due to the fact that my IPhone 17 Pro would not initiate the Apple CarPlay when plugged in. In the end, I did get Apple CarPlay to work again with a specific cable brand—Anker (and no, I am...

All, Thanks so much for all the insightful feedback on tuning options! I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with the Ford tune, Livernois, and especially the recommendation for Torrie at Unleashed. It's great to hear how much improvement you've seen in drivability and shifting. The...

All, Quick question about tuning my 2020 Ranger: I'm wondering if there's a mileage limit anyone would recommend against getting a tune? My truck's got 105,000 miles on it. I'm the second owner (bought it practically new at 800 miles). It's my daily, I put about 80 miles a day on it, mostly...

RangerPNW--good to know. This definitely gives me something to go off of. R/ NOMAD

All, Just like the title says, I am trying to get a definitive answer on whether or not this setup will work without any other modifications. With Memorial Day (and associated savings) right around the corner, I'm looking to purchase soon. Thanks in advance, NOMAD

Benny, Looking to get a price on new rotors (X4--both front and rear) and pads (to go with the 4 new rotors) for a 2020 Ford Ranger? Thanks in advance, Nomad

EJH, Sounds like you have it pretty much figured out already. For what it’s worth, here were my criteria when I was in a similar situation somewhat recently (as now applied to your situation): 1. PRICE – if they are similar in overall performance specs, save yourself some money and go with...

5386Childs, Here would be my recommendation for you, based on not only your parameters listed above but also having tried more than a few AT tires (and having these very tires on the truck now in a 265/70R17): - Toyo Open Country AT3 Here is why: 1. blackwall; size-265/65R18 (a size...

It may not be for a bit, but when I do, I'll be sure to post.

Exactly--force of habit.

Yes, that is the intent. On mine, some of the chrome plating has worn off to reveal more of a copper look.
