I was so excited as I saw another blue Ranger in the lot parked away from the other clowns. I went and parked next to them, nose out, and lemme say their truck was very nice. They’re on the right with the blue tow hooks (and the sweet exhaust)
This. I feel much better towing with my Ranger than I would a Taco. No comparison in terms of torque band. Also, my cervical spine (neck) does not like headrests that push my head forward. Not wanting to get an artificial disc sooner than needed, the Toyota line in general is a no go for that...
I literally just had this happen. I hadn’t seen the thread yet and did a master reset. Now going in and re-pairing my phone and that sorta stuff. Being an IT guy, I thought maybe their configuration got dorked during the update. Not unheard of other places and I’ve seen some devices require...

I ran through this too and was surprised as well. The other thing that was eye opening was that I couldn’t replace mine with an identically equipped new one for either the trade in price or what I paid for mine. Not getting rid of my baby though. Have added a few things to it so I’ve made it...
I’d suggest having oil analysis done if you’re concerned. Have some science tell you what’s in there as some metals are more concerning than others.
