My first Ford was an English Ford Anglia Prefect, 4 cyl, manual everything, 2 door. My first American Ford and first new car was a 72 Ford Pinto, 4 cyl, manual everything, hatchback.

I remembered my rewards points were about to expire on April 1st from my Nov 2019 purchase. Wasn't sure what the process for using them was, so stopped by the parts department at McCombs Ford here in San Antonio, TX, and asked. Dennis asked what I wanted to order, put it in the computer, and...

We moved up from a 16' Scamp to a 19' Escape, which we picked up in Montana and are driving back to GA. Delivered weight to Montana was 3600 lbs, with a 5000 lb GVWR. We currently have about 700 lbs of cargo/ water inside. The Ranger tows really well, and easily maintained speed up the mountain...

I'm glad you mentioned that! I had no idea there was a lock back there until you mentioned it. I sure am glad it's the same key as the truck uses so we don't have an extra key to carry around!

I don't have adaptive cruise control so that warning doesn't apply to me. Mine does have Automatic Emergency Braking, and that warning does not refer to AEB. Trying to understand the manual regarding towing makes it appear several different people had input, and never coordinated with each...

I used Quaker State Ultimate Durability full synthetic 5W-30 on my oil change last week. It meets the SN PLUS designation required for our 2019 Rangers, and also meets GM's DEXOS 1 Gen 2 standards. Right now it's on sale at Walmart for $14.67 for the 5 Qt size (just don't buy the three pack at...

Ha! I quit living in those places that get down to -22 a long time ago. When I was in Alaska, it got down to -57 once and although our work truck was plugged in and started OK, the rear axle and transmission froze up.

No, the dark area to the right of the 24mm nut is just a shaded area where there's a gap between the oil pan and the 24mm nut due to the spacing of the solid washer supplied with the valve.

Just changed my oil for the first time today. I had 5953 miles and was down to 27% remaining. Not sure if that 27% remaining life is based on the fact that I pulled a 3,000 lb camper for most of those miles, or because 12 months will be up in November since my truck was built. Getting ready for...

Only one camping trip so far from Atlanta to Sebring FL, pulling our 3,000 lb Scamp. Mostly headwinds both ways. Got about 15.2 MPG going down, and about 16.9 coming back keeping speed between 62-65 MPH. Calculated via the Fuelly app. Rangers MPG gauge was about 1-2 MPG overly optimistic.

I love the style, economy, and power for towing my camper. Do not like the tiny gas tank when towing my camper. Wish they had a longer bed option on the SuperCrew.

I know the insurance company I worked for would still cover the liability claim arising from the accident, even if you were overloaded, although they might reconsider if they wanted to keep insuring you in the future. As for civil liability, yes, especially if it's a fatality then the other...

I like it! Just ordered one. They have a July 4th Promo where if you put the word FREEDOM at checkout you also get a free 12 pack of disposable funnels. I'll check this out and see how it compares to the Fumoto on my Durango.

No clearance issues with that huge 24MM nut? I haven't even looked under my Ranger yet but with this Coronavirus putting a damper on our camper travels I might hit 12 months before my first oil change is due. That does look well built, and I like the idea of buying from a USA Veteran owned...

Thanks for the great write up and photos. It almost looks like the F107SX could work even without the adapter in the orientation that you set it. Did you check to see if it would mate up without the adapter? I have a Fumoto on my Dodge and love it.

Looks like the F107 is no longer available, and that the replacement F137 appears to have a narrower washer.

I'm wondering the same thing. Looking at the photos of the oil pan it looks like the F107SX would fit, but the wide part would need to be on the lower half. Saw this description that mentions a little different verbiage regarding clearance "*An adapter may be required if the valve cannot be...

I actually prefer the Gremlin over that Buick. It was actually one of AMC's most popular cars.

I had to get a new drawbar for our 2WD Ranger since the one on the Dakota needed a 5" rise (6" drop), and the Ranger (2WD) needed a 4" drop with the same camper. I got this one; " CURT 45270 Class 3 Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, Fits 2-Inch Receiver, 7,500 lbs. GTW, 1-Inch Ball Hole, 4-Inch Drop...

I'm surprised they used the Gladiator rather than something that performed better in prior Ike challenges, like the Ranger. Yeah, these midsize trucks "can" pull that load, but the question is do you really want to pull that load? I seriously considered the Gladiator, but the Ike test they...
