Sorry no! She does have a reason why she wants the Ranger instead of her Santa Fe. She is a plant enthusiast, and on more than one occasion I've had large plants (trees essentially) loaded in the back of the pickup to bring home. Can't do that in a Hyundai, lol.

Ah, you got me.

Who did you have to bribe at Ford? Asking for a friend...

By the way, I got to test drive a 2 door wildtrak with the top off. The MIC top was laying on the floor of the dealer so I got to inspect it up close. It seriously looks like the panel edges were cut with a jigsaw. They are not perfectly straight like a typical panel should be, and they were...

@AzScorpion thanks for the clarification. I think it's only a matter of time before another manufacturer steps up to the plate and creates a better MIC top and Ford goes with them.

Yes you are correct. Webasto sh*t the bed with the hard top production for the Bronco and has been fired by Ford. There's no telling how long people will have to wait if they ordered a hard top. That's why I went with the soft top on my order.

Let's hope the new Ranger release is not the disaster that the Bronco release is.

I realize that I'm probably a '22 but I'm holding out hope to possibly get it this year. In any case, the vehicles that I currently have are in good shape so if I have to wait it's not the end of the world. I certainly hope you won't have to wait as long as you are thinking.

I tried to avoid the "deadly order sins" as you put it on my build. I went with a base model 4-door with soft top, but I added the Sasquatch package. Fingers crossed that I get it before the end of the year.

So I decided to put in an order for a Bronco, and being that the price tag is pretty high I knew I would have to trade in one of my vehicles, and thought for sure I was going to be forced to trade in my Ranger, which I really didn't want to do. But, my wife decided that she would rather trade...

I see 5G Rangers (and older ones) everyday. I'm actually amazed at how many I see here in the Tampa area.

No damper for me, but I do like the idea of the ass tazer.

Looks like I was over the maximum load. It held up fine though, and still opens and closes normally. The baby rhino test worked.

It's funny, while they were sitting on it both cables were fully taut, but without a large load one of them is loose. So maybe Ford designs it that way? One cable for light load and the second cable with slack only handles load over a certain weight.

So that's what they mean by "Built Ford Tough"

So this weekend I was hanging out with some friends outside and my buddy asked me if I could lower the tailgate so that his wife could sit. So I did, and then one of my other buddies decides to also take a seat... but he's not a small guy. If I had to guess he is probably over 300 pounds...

Agree with you 100%. Just a slight press of the pedal on wet pavement and the truck gets all squirrelly. My next upgrade is a new set of tires.

Oh I didn't install it myself. There's a truck shop near me, they installed it for $400 including the kit and the alignment. I thought that was a great price.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I also just did the RC 2.5" leveling kit and I love the stance, just need bigger tires now. I will also look into that recalibration tool for the speedometer.

I've also got an STX with same wheels and I'm looking to put on 265/70R17's. I see that's what you did here, my question is, did you have to use spacers? Or was it just a simple tire install with no modifications necessary?
