Nah, the proportions are off. The Broncos you posted there are single cab 4' beds. The mockup is a supercab 2.5' bed. I'm thinking of more like this: https://file.kbb.com/kbb/vehicleimage/housenew/480x360/2000/2000-chevrolet-tracker-side_cttrk2d001.jpg even though that's a single cab, the wide...

You know... looking at that picture, I can't help but think of the old chevy tracker. It doesn't look half bad. And wouldn't be awful if it had a flow-through bed design - I think the Ridgeline has something like that... so you could put a snowboard in the bed/back seat. Really more like a 2...

Yeah, I hear ya on that. I'm weary about putting 12-16' kayaks on just the cab though. On the Escape I have the crossbars spaced out about 4', and I really wouldn't want to do less than that, which I would have to on the Ranger. Plus, I'm thinking about upgrading my kayak system from a...

Looks good. How's the sealing around the doors with those towers? I'm planning on grabbing an overhaul HD myself to put my kayaks over the bed of the truck, but I wouldn't look past getting cab mounted stuff as well. Also, it sounds like you want a width between 50'' and 60''. If you were to...

It could just be that WT has only scanned a SuperCrew right now, so until they scan the SuperCab, they're going to say N/A - even though they will end up being the same part (WT just hasn't confirmed).

You realize that they're marketing the Ranger as a lifestyle vehicle right? As such, the ads are specifically targeting the city folk who want weekend adventures. The Ranger is positioned such that it's a feasible vehicle within a city (whereas an F-150 is too large and therefore not even a...

Out of curiosity - why are you claying it right now? It's my understanding that the clay bar removes old wax and built up grim, basically restoring the surface back to the factory fresh paint. But being as it's a brand new truck, what's the benefit?

Are you overriding S/S? I know it's not designed to shut down the engine in all conditions (and extreme temps seem to be one the of the factors), but overall, the truck is designed to not be running (often) at idle due to the S/S functionality, so if you're turning it off, and then complaining...

...Why is that a sadly (or a surprise) that a car got better fuel economy than a truck? I'd be really shocked if the Mustang was to get worse fuel economy (even the GT350/500) than a Ranger on the highway. Both are just cruising along, but the mustang has a massive aero advantage both in...

Per Wikipedia: "In March 2015 Ford announced the official production start of the all-new twin-scroll 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter EcoBoost engines for North America at its Cleveland Engine Plant in Ohio"

I know it's unsprung, but I really like the appearance of the rear wheel and the clearance to the fender when it's on the lift on the passenger side picture (is it just me or is the driver side tire quite a bit lower?). I don't suppose you could grab a clearance measurement of that for me...

The new Yakima Overhaul is probably what you want... Sure, you're going to exceed the 500lbs when you load it up with two full sized adults, but keep in mind that the 500lbs is the road load rating, not the static load, which will be much higher. Also, whatever bed rack system you go with, will...

Are those a dead match for the metallic trim?

Not really. The driver's side has the fuel tank right behind it. And the passenger side goes most of the way back. Youh could try putting a few flat things behind the seat backs...

I seem to be in the minority here on my point of view. I don't believe tech is making people worse at driving. I would be surprised if the majority of Ranger owners are going to go and say "oh, I don't need to pay attention to traffic, my vehicle has automatic emergency braking. S'all good!"...

Just spitballing here, but with the electronic wastegate and the potentially larger turbine, I would estimate that they work together to provide more low RPM torque that trucks like but turbos struggle with. When you're at low RPMs, you don't have a lot of exhaust air flow through the turbo to...

There are tons of things that'll prevent S/S from activating. That doesn't mean that there's a problem with your vehicle. It sounds like the culprit for you is a low battery state of charge, either because you're having a key off battery drain, you're only doing short trips such that the...

I would assume it's powered via the pivot rod. That's typically how the mirror lights are powered, so why would that be any different?

Heh, meanwhile I checked my Escape a couple of times when it was new and was satisfied with it's calculated MPG (within .3)... and then recently didn't believe it (it was stating I got ~20mpg on a pure highway trip) because it has a 13.5gal usable tank, so I presumably should have maxed out at...

So then it would seem that the factory installed is the same as the dealer installed?
