25 hours after a 20+ mile drive, the FordPass app on my iPhone notified me that “Remote features disabled to preserve battery.” Temp in the garage is 50F, no visible evidence of electrical draw, nothing connected to USB, OBD, or the inverted AC outlet. Resting battery voltage, post-to-post, is...

No matter how many times I view these posts, or mark their sub-forums as “read”, the posts shown in the attached photo still show as unread.

There is an ad for a set of these on eBay, and I don't see a single photo of them anywhere else other than a classified ad on a UK website. Claims to be a 16" OE wheel for 2019-2021 Ranger, part number 9965-68-7060.

My local dealer ordered a block heater for me, and I stopped by the parts desk to see what it looked like before making a service appointment. It’s nothing like the old-fashioned pressed-in freeze plug replacements, this actually screws into a threaded hole near the top of the block on the...

I cannot find tire pressure specs for the various wheel/tire combinations in either the printed owner’s manual or the digital download version. Given that Ford sells multiple sizes of wheels and tires as accessories, do they provide an addendum with accessory wheels? I don’t remember any manual...

After reading much conflicting information, but finding a single Ranger owner who had a positive experience, I added a 5th matching wheel and tire with TPMS sensor to my Ranger today. It went perfectly, with no tools other than my floor jack, 19mm socket, breaker bar, and torque wrench. I have...

I have the brand new 16" steelie and 255/70R16 Dynapro HT tire with NO TPMS for anyone who can use it. As far as I can tell, the wheel is identical to the standard road wheels on the XL.

I’d like to add some gauges through the OBD2 port. Looking for the following: Oil pressure Oil temperature Coolant temperature Transmission fluid temperature Turbo boost I have an old Scangauge II that I can send in to be upgraded, but I’d rather have a graphical display. I would sure be nice...

Before I put a TPMS-equipped wheel/tire in the spare carrier to test, has anyone tried to carry a matching spare with sensor? I’m hoping that careful placement, and/or some type of RF shield, will allow me to carry five matching tires without confusing the Ranger.

I’m going to reveal something about my age here, but want to understand “tuning” as it applies to my 2020 Ranger. I have lots of tuning experience, which basically encompasses choosing and swapping camshafts, jetting carburetors, adjusting distributor timing curves, and reading spark plugs...

You honorary New Englanders are in for some real rain tonight!

Can anyone enlighten this noob? It runs through the right-side hood hinge, disappears behind the hood insulation pad, and I see no feature on the hood for it to connect with.

I‘ve had LineX on older trucks, but I’m leaning toward the drop-in for this Ranger. The local dealers charge a lot for installation. Is there something other than gravity holding it down? I understand the tailgate portion requires some screws. How hard can it be? Has anyone done this?

Reserved parking for pickups. Who knew?

I noticed this last night while exploring my engine bay. The accessory drive belt runs right at the edge of the coolant pump pulley. From what I read in the service documents, the belt should be centered on the pulley surface. The belt stays in the same position when the engine is running...

Just bought a new Ranger and looking for local/regional tire experience. A few years ago, I purchased a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires for year-round use on a 2010 Tacoma. Essentially, a winter tread design with without the softer, low temperature rubber compound. I'm tired of...

One more new guy question. Reading the manual for my new truck (hit 150 miles today) I see that Ford recommends premium fuel for hard use, etc. When I’m driving in 85 degree heat, I’m feeling a bit of rumbling that reminds me of an old Miata running on the knock sensor. I still have 3/4 of the...

New guy here. I’ve been using Mobil 1 since the 1980s, and Rotella T6 for the past 10 years or so. Why is Ford using a synthetic blend instead of full syn in the Ecoboost? Is there some advantage other than cost-cutting?

I just purchased a 2020 Lariat. my last Ford was a 2000 Escape. Been driving mostly Hondas and BMWs for the past 10 years. I’m hoping to learn more about my Ranger from the folks who have been doing this for a while.
