Had the XL's on my Tremor and they were worth every penny.

If you are looking, might be an option to check out the southeastern states on Autotrader. Might be able to get a one way flight and road trip one back. Edit: totally missed you were looking for a new one.

Several used 5g Rangers available in my area, including the one I traded in early December. They aren't selling though. Quick check shows dealer's retail advertising price in the middle of kbb trade in value on the few that I checked. If they advertising retail in kbb trade in range now, you...

It looks like a fragile item, but likely is stronger than it appears.

With the factory hose being formed, I'm curious what kind of lateral pressure is being exerted on that assembly by using non formed hose? I've never seen that part dissected, so no clue, just curious.

Looks like there are still new 2023's and the foreshadowing of 2024 availability. Found this place using Autotrader search. https://www.longlewis.com/all-inventory/index.htm?search=Ranger&compositeType=new

Cross rotation keeps the tires quieter over time as it helps even out the wear better. That being said, most dealer shops just do the front to back hack. Tires get noisier sooner and it is easier to upsell a new set of tires and alignment to the consumer before the tires have reached the end...

If you are not the 1st owner, you will want to initiate the factory reset in the infotainment center and that will remove any former remote access from former owners with the Ford Pass app. Then setup the app on your phone so that you formally have control of the remote unlock and remote start...

Comparing KBB value today to what it was the first week of December is now $2k less on the 2021 XLT Tremor I had for a reference point. Side note: Friend of mine has a used car dealership selling both regular and specialty cars. He said the auctions the past few months have had a lot of...

Used car sales have slowed significantly over the past two months and cars are sitting on the lots in my area in the southeast. Dealers are hedging their bets that the vehicles they take in on trade may not move quick. I took a quick look and dealers in my area are advertising used Rangers at...

Probably order the updated drum that is failure prone while you are in there. It's probably a ford only part currently.

If it isn't returning to center, it likely needs more caster adjustment in the alignment. Without a proper alignment printout, that would be the first thing to get checked.

Sell the ranger and keep the F250 is my vote.

It takes a few tanks of premium fuel before the computer fully adjusts to the fuel. "Octane adjust ratio" is the technical value that is learned over time in the ECM. The biggest performance benefit to using premium fuel is observed in the hotter summer months. No performance difference...

I believe the vehicles with electric parking brakes have the ebrake service mode. Thankfully the Ranger still has a manual ebrake.

Checking brake light function is a good starting point . In order for the truck to start and not go into accessory mode, it has to get the signal that the brake pedal is pressed. That same brake switch under the dash should be the one activating the rear brake lights.

It is odd that just the potassium level was elevated. I think your approach is solid though. Would be interesting to get prior service history on it to know if any work had been done in conjunction with the prior oil change. It could be as simple as the tech used the same funnel they used for...

Great idea on checking the insurance costs. I got a wild hair a few years ago and decided I wanted a Honda Civic EX 4door for a commuter car. Luckily I checked on the insurance as it was ridiculous. The yearly premium on the new Civic was almost double what a new ZR1 Corvette would have been...

Hmm, I doubt the numbers are being affected by the fuel additive. The potassium level increase is generally associated with coolant mixing in the oil. Appears you should be under powertrain warranty still, so that is good.
