The wheels, and tires from the Bronco are a direct fit to the Ranger. Same offset, so no need to worry about spacers. The 18" tires on the Ranger are 265/60R18, and the ones from the Bronco are 255/70R18. I don't think you'll see an appreciable drop in your mpg's. I went from 255/70R18 to...
Biily, I found that the low mpg's were more my fault than was the truck. Starting from a stop my right foot was just to heavy, and I was getting into the turbo to much. After I had gotten used to the turbo being there, and keeping my foot out of it starting off my mpg's increased. Plus the...
Welcome Greg. If you test drive a Ranger I think you'll like it. As others have said you can lift the front to level it out. Bell Tech does have a lowering kit, but it's quite an ordeal to install.

It's probably gonna get worse brother. Since she is attached to this little truck I've mulled over having some Katzkin, and heated seat elements installed. The shop that has the Graphene, also does Katzkin, and heated seats. I may not live through this adventure.....:computerrage: o_O
Well shit Dave, I don't know how I missed this thread when it was first posted. There's a truck/car speciality shop in town that carries the 303 products, and it looks like I'll be stopping by there when I get home. Now, I just have to make room on my shelf for a couple more auto cleaning...
Well, it's been a bit over a year since I brought my SC home. At 7500 miles it's been back to the dealer once for an oil change. It's close for the second oil change. Surprisingly I think the wife loves this little truck more than me. Last week I ask her if she thought we needed to look at a...
Ian, things do change in our life that will send us in another direction. But do hang around. You have experience, and knowlege concerning the Ranger that can help the newbies. Plus, we hate to see you go.
@P. A. Schilke Phil, I don't know how I missed this post way back then. But, you have sparked a thought in my mind. It seems that I may never get my Bronco, and this Explorer may fit with the way I use a 4 wd better than I once thought. I will have to have a second look at this Explorer.
The only experience I have is a hard cover on a previous F-150. It was nice, insulated, and color matched. But, you couldn't load anything tall because the thing was too low at the rear. Just somethng to think about.
Kent, with my 4 door JL and the rear seats down it a cavern back there. I can load the wife's 3 wheel bike (it folds up thankfully) in the rear, and a months worth of stuff for a stay in Myrtle Beach without a problem. I have had her bike, my 2 wheeler, and all the stuff a woman can carry back...
Andrew, I look at our membership market here, and on the Jeep forum often. My luck is that when I find something I like it's all the way across country. Then either the seller doesn't ship (which I don't blame them), or shipping cost is more than than the item I'm looking at. :)
I keep looking...
Nice, that's quite a bit of room with the seat out.
BTW, a night light in the rear console plug doesn't stop the ASS in the Jeep like it does in the Ranger. I done checked........:)
Oh wait, just athought though. It may work with the 2.0L. Let me know if you try that.
