Wanted to swap my 2019 XLT for a new Raptor…but the CFO said “No, not until we can afford that around-the-world cruise” I apparently promised her back in the day. So instead, I decided to buy every aftermarket “bolt on” piece I could find and turn my stock Ranger into the “ultimate...

OTOH, “WE” are undoubtedly the most intelligent, most well informed, objective, patient, thoughtful, creative…and probably best looking…of all Ranger owners😎.

Just think: If they had only offered a manual transmission…like most(?) of us wanted….

Great points all; thanks! As an early, original 2019 owner…I’ve tried to follow folks’ experience with this issue since it started to surface. We’d already determined that the internal binding is temperature related, hence the random “on-again/off-again” nature that results as the ‘internals’...

My 2019 XLT currently has 66,900 miles. At @ 65K miles, I started to experience the ‘asymmetric’ A/C scenario with cold air blowing out the right side, and extremely hot air coming out the left. It was random and sporadic, and would often heal itself, so I ignored it for a few months. Then...

My 2019’s fluid was coffee-colored with an extremely dirty filter at 65,000 miles. Never towed anything. So, I wonder: Has anyone gone Ford’s whole ‘150,000 miles’ before servicing it…without any issues?

Agree we’re a small subset of Ranger owners. We have learned that some of the transmission “woes” actually ARE the 10R80 eating itself alive. Others are DPFE valve issues masquerading as tranny issues. Either way, one thing I am certain of: There’s no way I’d wait until 150,000 miles before...

Way cool: Who, where and how much???

Sounds about like my 2019 w/65K miles. I decided that I’ll start worrying about it when they stop making noise…

No…but probably really a ‘not yet’: 2019 w/65K miles. Extremely dirty ATF & filter. Hard shifts, some surging into 4th, low-speed hunting in 7-10 gears. Off-idle stumble when accelerating. Was going to trade it in for a yellow dog, then shoot the dog…but I like dogs too much. Swapped out the...

Obviously it’s not a magic cure for all the reported transmission problems, but it sure improved mine’s behavior. It is a pain in the butt to reach the tubing connections; if only the hood opened another inch!

Thinking about trading it? Every darn day. I paid cash for mine in 2019 and enjoyed being the “only one in town” for quite a while. I always loved the EcoBoost performance and even more so when I installed an MBRP exhaust. Gas mileage was not an “affordability issue” when I bought it, although...

You can buy the whole sensor “assembly” with new hoses already attached…much easier…highly recommended.

I have two XLTs: 2004 w/3.0 V-6 & 5 speed, 158K miles, and 2019 FX4 w/65K. If I had to get rid of one today…guess which one I’d keep?

I’m original owner of a 2019 XLT w/65K miles. It’s bone stock except for MBRP exhaust; never had a ‘tune’. Lots of highway mileage; I don’t tow. At 60K miles, started to exhibit what I thought were trans-only related issues: Hard/‘clunky’ shifts, ‘bucking’, especially in higher gears (7-10)...

I’m the original owner of a 2019 XLT FX4 with 65,000 miles. It’s bone stock except for an MBRP exhaust. It’s never had a ‘tune’; I don’t tow with it and a lot of the mileage is highway. At @ 60,000 miles, it started to exhibit issues I thought were transmission-only related: Shifts were...

Shedding my stock, well-cared-for, Hankooks on my 2019 XLT this week at 39,000 mile…& a lot of it highway. Developed very strange wear pattern in front…wheel alignment in spec. Switching to Wildpeaks; already have Cooper AT3 on an FJ-40 Land Cruiser.

If you’d installed the MBRP dual exhaust instead…there’d be no problem. Just crank the radio up louder & the smell will go away… away.

If it’s dented…better strap in. Cheap, double-walled box….no access from “inside”…you’re looking at a skin graft. This ding ended up costing north of $6,000..

Kinda like having LOTS of gas in your CRV’s 3.7 qt oil pan & them trying to sell you a Cabin Temperature Control unit to fix it. Why? Well, why not?
