Any more information on this? Ford's official parts website does not list any upgrades for the Ranger. The Infotainment main website lists the upgrades, but unfortunately, they are out of stock (plus the cost is nearly 2 grand)!
Thanks.
Congrats on the Ranger! Quick question: Were you able to get the XLT wit the 300A electronics equipment package (4" sync infotainment display) or were you able to get the upgrade (8" touch display infotainment with Apple Car Play)?
I ask out of curiosity mostly. My XLT did not come with the...
Been awhile since I have checked in, but does anyone have updates on this inquiry? I was wondering out-loud if it would be possible to take the bezel used in an F-150 and transfer it into the Ranger?
Again, it is not dire that I upgrade the infotainment system, but it sure would be nice.
I am very, very happy to announce that, "What did I do to my Ranger Today," wasn't cosmetic - it was financial!
I have officially PAID off my truck! 16k paid off in about 6 months! My title is being sent to me this coming week. I am beyond excited to finally call the Ranger 'MY TRUCK.' (Not...
I really, really wanted Lightning Blue when I was in the market. Just couldn't make it happen - I very much like my Oxford White truck though. Never owned a white vehicle in my life - pleasantly surprised.
Over the last two weeks I have added the following: A key ring trim, a Gator SFX soft tri-fold cover, and black gloss Ranger lettering for the grille and tailgate.
Got a good deal on the Gator SFX and install wasn't very hard. Key ring trim I ordered on eBay from someone who 3D printed it...
My wishes for an updated Gen5 or new G6 Ranger:
- V6 engine option and a V8 option
- Increased fuel tank size
- Upgraded audio and infotainment system in all models
- Power adjusted seating
- MPGs that are as advertised
- A true shark fin antenna
You are correct about adjusting the driving. My last vehicle was a 2015 Camaro V6 Coupe. However, I would argue the acceleration rates are pretty similar. I try to not hard accelerate in this truck - sometimes it is hard NOT to avoid doing so when I have to deal idiots on the interstate on my...
I average 17.5 to 19.5 MPG. I have nearly 5,000 miles on the odometer, I commute 85 miles roundtrip 5x a week. I only 4x4 when the situation calls for it. I don't try to drive aggressively. I typically use 87 octane fuel.
Needless to say, I am frustrated that my MPGs are not near advertised...
When I had my Ranger serviced for maintenance alerts last week, I told the service department about my concern with gasoline smell in oil. They dismissed my concern completely and did not assess during the service.
I have about 5,000 miles on my truck and have yet to have an oil change on my...
Ok, so I just read through this thread and thought I had better go check my oil. My truck has been sitting three days in an uninsulated garage because I had it parked after I had the check engine light come on this last Monday and the truck wasn't driving, in my view, like it should be.
To...
Sadly, the smile has faded from me: I have to take my Ranger into service this coming Monday morning. Had two check engine lights pop up earlier this week on this week's Monday morning. They never left. Tried to drive the truck a few days this week, but it was not driving as it was before the...
Just an update: I took my truck to O'Riley's for a check free OBD-II code check. Two codes were read from my truck: Code PO299 and P2AB9. These are pointing to under-responsiveness from the turbocharger. I have not noticed any fluid leaking anywhere yet. The check engine light is the only light...
Long story short: I have a newer truck with nearly 3k miles. Before I started out for work, I noticed two maintenance lights. Both were a check transmission/4x4 wrench light and one was a check engine light. Ford pass gave me the power train malfunction and malfunction indicator lamp regulatory...
My new WeatherTech floor liners came this week - love how easily they fit in the truck! I also got rid of the long flimsy antenna and installed the Stubby antenna.
I just wanted to update those who are curious: I have called two Ford dealerships in my area directly and neither dealership had ANY information about upgrading the infotainment system from factory install to the 8" display with Apple Car Play. I was pretty dumbfounded that even Ford didn't have...
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone here has upgraded their entertainment console in their Ford Ranger? When I bought my truck I a bit disappointed to learn I was only getting the 300A equipment package. I was hoping to upgrade my entertainment system but was unsure what avenue to pursue...
Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate you all offering your insight. I will consider all advice given so far and I again appreciate all the help!
Hello everyone. I am new to these forums and I apologize in advance if I should not have created a new thread for this.
Two weeks ago, I bought a White 2019 Ford Ranger XLT. This is my first truck I have ever owned myself. While I am excited to finally own a truck, I have some...
