About a week later and the trans has its chance to "re-learn" my driving style. Definitely recommend! If you make an afternoon appointment, you can probably have it done the same day as well.
Actually that's a really good idea - I might do a DIY on that. Agreed that they're absurdly expensive...the only thing I'm bummed about the XLT is that you don't get the LED headlights. Someone looked at Ford parts to do a Lariat headlight swap and it came out to $3200 or so...it's crazy!
I plan to keep my truck for years (car payments suck - I need to get my money's worth lol) so if the truck gets some bruises while doing things that it was intended for I'm okay with that. A true ceramic coat/clear wrap will undoubtedly provide better protection, but for $15/bottle and ease of...
+1 vote on Meguir's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I truly do think this product is the end-all-be-all solution for a daily driver. After washing the truck, initial application took me about 30 minutes. Here are the steps that I took for initial application:
Wash car thoroughly with a 50/50 mix of car...
I dropped my truck off at the dealer to get a couple minor things checked out:
Rough shifting transmission when cold (https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/tsb-19-2052-2019-ranger-engine-cold-start-runs-rough-rough-shifting-transmission.2135/)
Inconsistent Brake Pedal Feel...
Hey all, I just got some custom rock sliders fitted to my truck. Check out my original post for details:

My friend, Alec, fabbed them for me, and he would be able to make some bolt on sliders for you guys if interested...
The body and frame come treated from the factory to prevent rust. In my opinion, I think it's best to let the factory rust proofing to do its job for the first few years. Make sure to give the body frequent washes and consistently spray down the frame. In 5+ years, you might start noticing...
I still can't believe people think that the engineers don't think of these issues when designing new features.
1) There is an auxiliary electrical water pump that will cycle coolant after shut off if necessary.
2) The auto stop/start is run off the BISG (Belt Integrated Starter Generator) aka...
Now that he has the measurements, it would be a lot easier for him to fab up bolt-on sliders and ship them to you. I'm not sure what he would charge (if I had to guess, somewhere in the $700-900 range), but I can PM you his contact info so that you can talk with him directly. Let me know if...
Hey all, one of my friends that does fab work made some custom rock sliders for me. Decided to go custom because, well, there aren't many options out yet (if any).
We decided to go with a run-of-the-mill slider design (think Trail Gear) and originally I wanted them to be bolt on. I went to see...
That's good to know! Thanks for the feedback. The Dynapros that came fitted OEM are all-terrains as well. I wonder if I'll get a noticeable dive in MPG between the two.
Hi all, does anyone have any experience with Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires? At about $140/tire and good reviews, they seem like great value. Although the tread pattern looks more aggressive than the Hankook Dynapros, I also want to make sure whatever tire I buy are a performance upgrade too. A few...
I'm just about to roll over 9000 miles in my truck, and I just had my first issue - the auto window function suddenly broke (window rolls down, but the auto function doesn't work). Besides that the truck has been great! It's not perfect, but I have no concerns regarding quality. I rolled the...
