@GregsFX2Ranger Appreciate the feedback Greg. Haven't had the chance to drive one yet. What did you think of the seats and seating position? How was the steering wheel/column position relative to the ranger? One thing that's drives me nuts with the ranger is how far left the brake pedal is. Not...

It's just a cheapo material. Mine have 9k on them and I can already see where the seat bottom is going to tear open. It is what it is. For isolated areas like yours, that bandaid thing seems like it'll work well. Nice solution.

I was a wry 10 year old and don't believe I grasped what had happened at the time. I'd never heard of terrorism or alqaeda. A few years later on a trip to West Point, we went to ground zero and by that time I understood what I was looking at. It's interesting to stare into the memorial and look...

If you look very closely, theres a sticker on the back that reads "LHD engineering prototype" ?

No button, no rear locker. You would be able to determine if the truck has the locker by looking at the window sticker. Some trucks have the button but no locker.

If the reports are right, the take rate for manual broncos is 25% and they also have a 10sp so maybe Ford is listening. At least there would now be parts available for a potential swap way down the road.

Speculation is that a ranger raptor will be available stateside and also that several power train options will be available. What I'm REALLY hoping for is a manual trans. The ranger has been my only auto and I'm genuinely wishing it was manual.

I'll definitely be test driving one to see if I want to trade my 5G in. Twin turbski V6 sounds pretty appetizing. Hopefully they solved the issues with the vibes.

It's definitely gonna go EcoBoom!!

I'm still keeping my eye open for these. Searching daily. I haven't actually seen one in the lot yet but dealers are mostly advertising pricing at MSRP. If Nissan expects people to pay MSRP for these things, they will probably get a lot of people telling them to eff off unless they are just...

Two of my best friends, who happen to be brothers, did the exact same thing to their vehicles in parking lots. Insurance fixed my buddies truck, the other became one of many battle scars.. lol.

A more eloquent way to help that style grow on you is to yell the colloquialism, "Yeeeyeeeeeeeee" toward the owner when you see that type of mod. I've been doing that and eating tons of friend rice and my 22x10 et -15 wheels are finally en route from ebay. Just did the 40 inch lift.

Thanks for the tip on the screwdriver thing. The boot kit from Ford is on backorder so I haven't even attempted this for fear I will have to use a zip-tie which would get flagged somehow on an inspection. Now I just have to make friends with these Atlanta roaches while I get under my truck.. lol

This thread is a common phenomenon on here. To me, it sounds like normal behavior. Pay attention to what gear and what RPM this occurs at and you might have your answer. It is most likely a lugging situation. Your comment about "manually going into too high a gear at too low rpm" might indicate...

I've seen a few en route to dealerships priced between 35 and 45. It looks like they are manufacturing all the ones they know will sell better in the beginning like the non-LWB SVs and pro-4xs. Interestingly, I've seen a few dealerships listing 2022 Pro-4x in the 36k range while also revealing...

Would the existence of the slip joint on the tremor not predicate that the tremors also have the potential for the slip-bump? That is unless the supplier is now lubricating the joint a different way as we know that the tremor driveshaft is at least a little different (CV joint at pinion). The...

The majority of those consumer reports surveys are done by older people anyways. Buick beats Chevy because Chevy is pulled down by the not so great ratings of the 1500 and Colorado pickups. JD Power does do a study on 3 year old vehicles. The initial quality surveys seem worthless.

@ChiefQM The owners manual has good info on that. With the shifter in "D" press the (-) button on the shifter. You will see the gear indication pop up in the screen on your gauge cluster and you'll see the number 10 at the top. Just keep pressing the minus button until you only see a 6 at the...

Here is CR reliability report based on actual data for those who are interested... I do own a Ford and it's not my first but I'm not married to the idea that they are somehow inherently better or worse than a Nissan nor should anyone else be. You guys have had luck it seems with your Rangers...

Bad experiences suck. My Ranger has been nothing but trouble for me, yet I know most ranger owners are not having any issues and love their trucks. I'm genuinely saddened by the quality of my ranger. It's my first new vehicle and I thought, surely, that it won't have any issues. I didn't even...
