Hey all, Just thought I'd add a new failure mode to the list. We were one day into our 3,000 mile vacation (that we specifically timed the purchase of the Ranger to support since my old vehicle had 115k miles on it and I didn't trust it for long journeys anymore) when the transmission went...

Holy flying chickens Batman, that's a lot of money. Your 75k maintenance package is going to include 7 oil changes, 3 cabin air filter replacements, 2 engine air filter replacements, and 2 fuel filter replacements (er, pretty sure these are diesel only though). Oil changes with semi-synthetic...

Well, we're going on our first Ranger road trip starting tomorrow, but everyone's road trip needs should be based on your specific road trip. However, being that it's the first time taking the truck out, there's some things that I don't normally think about since they're always in the...

Well, 18gal @ 6.2lbs/gal = 111.6lbs of fuel. 111kgs = 244lbs. 2180kgs = 4796lbs. So empty weight = 4440.4lbs.

Data: 2014 Tremor 0-60 = 5.9 Sec 2019 Ranger 0-60 = 7.3 Sec 2013 Escape 2.0L 0-60 = 6.8 Sec 2014 Tremor 1/4 Mi = 14.4 Sec 2019 Ranger 1/4 Mi = 15.2 Sec 2013 Escape 2.0L 1/4 Mi = 15.2 Sec Why do I have the Escape listed? Because that was my previous vehicle, so I figured I'd baseline it in my...

Nah it's fine. I exclusively used car washes for my '13 Escape and it had the same antenna. Never had a problem.

I figured I'd post this up here since I haven't actually seen anyone do this yet. Inspired by the SEMA rendering, I decided I wanted to put LEDs in the small slits in the bumper. I'm still not 100% sure why those are there anyways, my guess would be for some air flow during snow ingestion. In...

Hey guys, so I picked up some 7'' LED bars to put into the narrow slits in the bumper, and have torn out the plastic bit behind it to get them to fit (pita to do that btw). But there's really nothing in that area to attach a bracket to. So I was wondering how inadvisable it would be to use JB...

How long are your kayaks such that you think the 5' (or let's call it 4.5') spacing of a bed rack wouldn't be enough? That's a ton more spacing than you have on the roof of the CRV. I haven't taken delivery of my rack yet, but I plan on putting my 12' kayaks up on top of the bed, which should...

The learning has to actually do with specific types of events. So if you had a 1000 mile highway drive, you won't have learned any (or very much I should say) of the low speed stuff.

Heh, I just shared this with the lady, who's really PO'd about Ford discontinuing her Focus. My main point there was that Focus sales were down by 38k, and Fusion/Fiesta were up a combined 20k. My guess is that there's a decent number of people who moved up/down a class size, but overall...

And the amount of continued investment by Ford into the Ranger in that 2007-2011 time range? Zero. Sure - you can throttle production, but that's not good. Ford has a ton of investment in any product, the capital investment cost of the plant, the opportunity cost of building something else in...

Fair - I averaged out the Q2 sales and compared to June. Going off of Redland's # of 9384, shows a positive trend... but it doesn't change the number of trucks on the lot or the number of trucks made. And the "concern" is the continued support of the product. Yes, I have my Ranger and I'm...

Where are you getting monthly sales? I'm only seeing Q2 results.

What's confusing is that with their statement of heavy OT... Though I suppose I don't know if that's still accurate. I'm assuming 50hr/week of assembly, and at 60sec rate, they should be building 600/day, or 12,900 a month. They've been doing that since February, and have been selling ~7k/mo...

Ranger Q2 sales are in at 20,880, for a monthly average of 6,960 - still lower than the Frontier =/. For reference, I calculated that the plant with the single shift that they have, should be producing 12,900 monthly, so we're only at about 50% of the predicted volume. I'm still a bit confused...

Thanks for this. I was just trying tonight to install some lights in the little 7/8'' tall cut out in the bumper, and came to the realization that I'm going to have to remove at least that lower valence. I struggled for an hour trying to get the clips out between the silver lower valence with...

Received mine on Friday (it was delivered to the dealership on Thursday though). It was born last Friday and originally scheduled for delivery by July 5th. Though it did have to go to the mod center for the tonneau cover and keyless entry pad after it got built. And I literally picked up it...

So I got this in my cart now that I've finally taken delivery of my Ranger (yay!)... I plan on leaving the middle slot blank for the eventual redarc, but the outer two ones I'm still not 100% sold on my direction, mainly because I'm hoping ya'll can help me out first. The original...
