  1. Fuel Funnel Hard to Use

    I have to really push hard and wack the fuel funnel to insert. Have used it before and it slipped right in. Does the check valve have to be lubricated with WD 40 or something ?? I checked and there wasn't any debris obstruction. Just don't want to wack it again and break something.
  2. Sylvania SilverStar

    Do headlight bulbs dim in time before they fail ?? My 2019 is 5 years old and I need as much illumination as possible driving at night in old age, so replacement before they fail might be the thing to do. Are the more expensive grades of Sylvania SilverStar’s any good or is it just a marketing...
  3. Slow Speed Surge

    While pulling into a parking space at slow speed, the engine suddenly accelerates, and I have to jam my break peddle. I can hear the engine speed suddenly rev up and then dies down after hard breaking. Kind of scary and it has happened twice in the past year. Has this happened to anyone else...
  4. Bump Stop Replacement

    Is this deterioration of bump stop normal wear or an indication of suspension problem ? I tow a 3,800# travel trailer couple times a year and do not go off road. If it needs to be replaced, any suggestions ? Not looking to upgrade, just a rookie on suspension issues.
  5. Sudden Acceleration

    2019 Ranger with 42,000 miles. Was driving slow to park. Truck suddenly accelerated. Stomped on brakes and stopped about a foot before hitting a post. First time it happened. I don't have a floor mat, so not a floor mat issue. Is it worth bringing to dealer now or wait to see if it happens...
  6. Noise Behind Glovebox

    I get a intermittent noise behind glovebox after shutting engine. Usually after running heater, but not always. My guess is an actuator trying to open or close in the ductwork. Any one else that that problem ??
  7. Alcan Highway Roadtrip

    We towed 3,500 miles from Sacramento to Homer up the Alaskan Highway. Ranger ran really well towing a small travel trailer (R-pod). Premium gas is not always available, so I went with regular, and the Ranger ran just fine. Will use regular from now on. The small 18 gallon tank is a real...
  8. Sudden Downshift

    When making a left turn and I apply a little throttle, the 2019 Ranger suddenly makes a violent downshift pushing me forward. Scares the heck out of me. Happened twice recently on my automatic transmission. Any one else experience this and what is causing this ??
  9. Beep in engine

    Ranger sat for two days and then taken out for short errand. It then gave me a message "system off to save battery", and there was a barely audible beep in center of engine. Sound went on about every four seconds for about 15 minutes. I'll give the battery a load test like Phil mentioned in a...
  10. Trailer Sway Control

    I'd like to understand the trailer sway control feature a bit better. Does the feature apply brakes on the Ranger, the trailer, or both ? How does the Ranger detect trailer sway ? Is there a sensor on the Ranger to detect sway ? Would appreciate any help.
  11. Premium gas towing

    Is anyone having to use premium gas when towing ? Owner's manual recommends premium during hot weather and when towing.
  12. Autobrake Elect Brake Controller

    Has anyone used an Autobrake Electric Brake Controller and what do you think of it ? It's trailer mounted, so I won't need a 4-wire pigtail under the dash. No thanks to Ford, they didn't put the 4-wire pigtail on my XL trim, so there isn't a connection point in the cab for a controller.
  13. Electronic trailer stability control

    Will be installing an aftermarket trailer brake control (Prodigy P2) and wonder if that has an effect on the vehicles electronic trailer sway control. The reason I ask is that on the Ford official Ranger accessories web site, there is an OEM trailer brake controller unit that reads "compatible...
