Similar experience here. I have a non-Tremor 4x4. If I'm just commuting (short, hilly, and poorly-timed stop lights), I get 18. Running errands around town, I get 20-21. Typical highway driving (65-70 mph), I'll get around 24 mpg. This past week I had a longer highway drive and wasn't in a...
1) The only features that Ford lists on the information page for the tow package on XL Rangers are the hitch and 4/7-pin connector.
2) I have an XL without tow package. My truck came with the tow/haul button.
I think you are probably mistaken about those two XL's not having tow/haul, given that...
I definitely wouldn't cut out Glacier, but I might be biased as we went there for our honeymoon. It's been a while and we were technically there during the off-season, but we were really happy with North Forty outside of Whitefish, and the pricing (again, during off-season) was a really good...
When I was shopping, the 6-ft bed/crew cab combination was the biggest reason I was considering a Colorado. The Chevy dealership didn't have any in stock and was going to have to bring one in from another dealership. The sales guy said he had only ever sold that configuration once. Clearly...
I think you're going to have trouble finding anyone who will even try to do anything about it now:

I also appreciate seeing the goodbye posts. Like Dave said, it's nice to know why long-time regular members disappear. Additionally, when people decide to move on from their Ranger, I enjoy seeing what they've replaced it with and their reason for moving on, especially when it's people that I...
Maybe as a compromise, could the thread titles for the 6g links somehow show that it's a thread at Ranger6g? So it would appear something like:
"Order Banks Open Next Month? [Ranger6g.com]"
Ditto here.
Yes. Be warned that some dealerships will tell you otherwise. I believe the transaction has to be processed through the service department, even if you are just getting the parts and not having them install them for you.
After reading the GSB, I can see why the dealer would reject the warranty claim. Ford is essentially telling him that this damage can only occur due to operator error. Of course that doesn't mean that Ford is correct, but as a dealer, he can't afford to do the work and then not get his...
I do recall seeing similar reports on here before. Search function kinda sucks but here's a good starting point: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/transmission-trashed-during-flat-towing.4618/
An artifact of a by-gone era (AKA early 2019), when tailgates were damperless and all trucks came from the factory with 6 (yes 6!) tiedowns. If you're willing to get a second mortgage on your home (exaggerating, but only slightly), you can buy additional tie-downs from your dealer to put in that...
A few years ago I had a pair of tires that a local tire shop took on consignment. They sold them within a couple weeks and sent me a check for the sales price minus a consignment fee (which I think was $25). I was in the process of moving and just wanted to be rid of them, so I was thrilled to...
Seems like there's room for a happy medium between "throw parts at vehicles that aren't actually broken" and "ignore vehicles that have rising oil levels because one of the potential causes is normal function."
Couple of things that stand out about this (aside from the blatant shifting of blame to the customers for having short commutes and/or living in cold climates):
1) They're taking the position that this condition doesn't effect engine durability, not matter how severe the issue. This is very...
