  1. 1st Service at 5k miles

    I love all Ford trucks old & new ...but I get 2 new loaded Rangers before dropping $95k on F150 Harley Davidson! They will sell them all tho guaranteed . Ford can sell high end trim levels.
  2. Letting the truck warm up before driving.

    I concur . I always let it run 5min or so b4 driving no matter what time of yr it is! My XLT FX4 has 9k mis approx ..an runs, drives, shifts & sounds perfect in every way. The synergy of this motor/tranny/chassis Is an engineering milestone of trucks in my experienced opinion. I've owned many...
  3. Oil Change 2019 Ranger Lariat

    I go to Reineke Ford in Lima, Ohio. Altho mostly have a trusted shop handle my oil changes using my preferred oil & filter. They charge me $25 for labor! Ford dealer will let me bring my own stuff to but higher pricing an I cant watch them do it:(
  4. Oil Change 2019 Ranger Lariat

    Well , I will say this from a mechanical engineering standpoint an lifelong car/truck hobbyist pt of view. If you insist on running the oil change intervals out to 7500mis an that's entirely ur choosing... as well as the owners manual recommendation. U had better use a FULL SYNTHETIC 5w30 SN+...
  5. Observations after 3000 miles

    I get asked too all the time at gas station etc. Its a sporty looking truck I get told... an ppl know they havent seen em new in awhile ....really dont have complaints with this truck an enjoy it more so as the mis accrue. Thats something I cant say I've felt anytime in last 3+ vehicles owned ...
  6. FX4 Suspension Bounce

    It only gets better with age/mis so far.. in my experience. Approaching 10k mis an its smooth as vanilla ice cream in ride & esp powertrain etc. Be sure all are using an SN+ rated motor oil! Prevents LSPI . Better overall performance for any TGDI motors.
  7. WEAK FRAME!?!?

    Good assessment of the matter! Thankyou. In Michigan & Ohio u may pick ur own repair shop as well. Ppl sometimes just go along w/ all the Ins Co recommends . Choose ur own well qualified an recommended shop always.
  8. Observations after 3000 miles

    As a mechanical engineer I too have certain standards you could say. We all are entitled to our opinions of course. Owned alot of auto makes but never a Subie. Just didnt appeal to me personally & the boxer engine design still burns oil at a scarey rate. Trim levels def shouldn't dictate fit &...
  9. Observations after 3000 miles

    That's a big price difference I agree. What area / state u in? Out here in upper midwest..Ohio/Michigan where I spend most my days..I utilize ONLY 93 premium of various tier 1 brands an pay as of late around $2.70 its remarkable how much fuel prices change in various markets / regions of US. God...

  11. Observations after 3000 miles

    I use 93 octane in winters mos here in NW Ohio. My MPGs average over 22 consistently. Mixed local & highway driving. Try premium fuel. Very warm here lately tho.
  12. Observations after 3000 miles

    Ur getting OUTSTANDING fuel economy. It's still a heavy truck. I get 22.4 average an tickled. 9k mis now. Love it. My son ordered a '20 Ranger in race red. Keep truckin! SN+ rated full synthetic oils only.
  13. Extended parking with low miles?

    Enjoy it. Wash it once per wk at robo or spray wash. Change oil w/ SN+ full synthetic oil only & motorcraft filters every time ur golden.
  14. Accidentally bumped red line

    Absolute truth. More durable RS rally car motors indeed. Run good SN+ full synthetic oil & good flters ur golden. I like to use 93 octane cause these motors REALLY LIKE IT.
  15. Letting the truck warm up before driving.

    Sounds mean an STRONG like it is! Enjoy great engineering.
  16. Letting the truck warm up before driving.

    That's weird. Love the seasons here in midwest.
  17. Absurd owner's manual

    Far from perfect?....tho better than others out there in midsize class!
  18. WEAK FRAME!?!?

    Truck did its job. No weak frames on these..they are rated to tow 7500lbs! Tell ur brother ..an glad his lady Is ok ..the truck took a HARD hit. Get it totaled an get another Ranger!
  19. Accidentally bumped red line

    Your fine. Dont do again till after break-in an also an early oil change in my opinion . Real good brand full synthetic 5w30 w/Motorcraft filter. It does shift on it's own in my truck ...maybe if you dont touch the manual gear shift?
  20. How many miles do you have now?

    Wow. Keep that oil clean bud. Good synthetic oil SN+ rated & good filters!
