Just a humorous tale. We often laugh here about the Taco and it's silly, pathetic, transmission constantly downshifting on the highway. Well, while heading to vacation on Saturday, at one point I was on the interstate passing a Tundra. He was pulling a boat. Boat was nothing major. Probably a 16...
On vacation. Loving it. Great time. Don't head back until Sunday. Gonna enjoy every single day of vacation until then. :handsinair: Truly dread returning to work next Monday. :puke:
All that said... I cannot wait for the drive back! :rockon::like::clap: Yep. Luv'n me some Ranger.
Warden would...
With all of the transmission fluid level discussions I've never seen this mentioned. Article talks about the trasmission having a built in dipstick. Do our Rangers have this?

I looked for a current oil change thread but did not find one. If I missed it and should have posted there versus a new thread, my apologies.
First oil change today. Truck has 6500 miles on it. Was shooting for 7500 miles but have a 1000 mile road trip coming up so did it ahead of time.
Went...
Was just reading the latest. Supposed to primarily affect engineers. Trying to wrap my head around that one. Wouldn't engineering be the last area you would make cuts?
Just seems really strange to me. Most companies are constantly struggling to find engineers to hire.
On the road this week. Rental happens to be a '23 F150 XLT 4x4. Not a bad truck. Got 6K+ miles on it so broken in. I've put about 125+ miles on it so far. Probably 80/20 highway / city.
For me personally, this truck has 100% confirmed that the Ranger was the right decision for me. Good to know...
Need some input from the more mechanically intelligent folks on here... so the other 97% of you just back away from the keyboard and take a seat. :LOL: I kid! I kid!
So I've decided to buy a Tremor wheel for my spare. But here's where my confusion starts. (On this subject... don't get me...
So, rotated my tires for the first time last weekend. Already knew the Tremor spare was the same General Grabber on a steel wheel. But what I did not expect to see was the stupid yellow 50mph sticker on the wheel. WTF? It's the same full size tire as the rest of them. Why the sticker?
I get the...
I get it. This is a Ranger forum. And anyone who cares enough to be a member here is most likely a bit uptight about their truck. But does EVERYFREAKINGTHING have to be a reason to start a thread with "OMG my Ranger has this!" Or "Ford should have done this!" Sorry but I believe we have some...
Morning Everyone! Well, probably shouldn't say "morning" since we have members from all over the globe. So let's go with "Hello!"
Went down a rabbit hole this morning while getting my caffine intake prior to starting the work day. Just spent 1 1/2 hours going from the subject of oil filters and...
Been meaning to mention this one.
I've had my Tremor for about 6 weeks or so now. Just through a weird stroke of luck / timing I put 2000 miles on it in the month of March between two different trips. (Normally I am a pretty average to low mileage guy.) While I generally drive it like a old...
Nothing really to say except...
I'm getting ready to walk out the door and make a 350+/- mile trip in my new Tremor. And I can NOT wait!!!!!!!! Jacked up and ready to ride. Ridiculous. I'm like a little kid. And.......... I get to make the trip in reverse on Thursday!!!!!! Yea me!!!!
Ok. I'm...
I get it. They are cool trucks. But some of you folks are a bit overboard with it.
I'd bet that if some of you clowns were out goofing off on a beautiful sunny day with your wife by your side and you decided to hit a brewery for a beer... some of you idiots would park out front in the sun and...
Yep. Used their favorite color for the quick reference guide. :inspect: :dance::turkey:Funny how none of you guys mentioned that to me before.
:bandit:
Not great pics. And already dirty as I had to drive it through a crazy rain storm. About 60 miles to my house so one thing for sure, no water leaks! Storm from hell. Pucker factor!!! Totally freaked out that some clown was going to plow into me.
But my Tremor is HERE!!!!! :inlove:
Dealer was...

I suppose next they'll be saying velocity blue is not the best color! :surprised::curse:
Clearly I am going to have to send C&D a pic of my Tremor once it gets here. :punch:
Truck was scheduled for week of Feb. 13th. Checked it just now and...... drum roll.......... that BLUE BEAUTY is in PRODUCTION!!!!!!!!! :clap::like::handsinair::party::dance::inlove::turkey:
Got myself a window sticker too. :rockon:
Look out. Shit is getting real now.
Nope, no childish...

Personally, nothing Tesla does surprises me.
Not in the EV market. But if I was, Tesla would not even be an option.
Basically just stealing.
