I have both parking sensors and the forward facing radar so it's a no-go from two perspectives. I'd also want some auxiliary lighting in front of the bumper and the warning seems to indicate that is also a no-go. There are some good aftermarket options though that support those features so I'd...
Wow, the last time I looked at this one I didn't notice the requirements for having the airbag system recalibrated and some of the other limitations listed.
I will say that a stock Tremor with 35psi cold tire inflation rides about the same as a new TRD Off Road 4Runner with 40 psi in the tires in my experience. Tire inflation has a huge impact on ride quality along with shock absorbers and leaf pack design. It shocked me quite honestly, but I...
Cool Maverick!! Buddy of mine got a Tremor version and totally loves it.
On the transmission front, I drove a Toyota 4Runner today with the thought of trading. I didn't trade, but if I could swap that 5speed automatic transmission from the 4runner into the Ranger, it would be the ultimate...
From what I've read, a 285/70/17 on oem Tremor wheels will fit with no lift, but it does require the high clearance crash bars.
This person illustrated it in a video.
For those that have the tools to do so, datalog rpm, load, throttle position, spark, selected gear and torque converter lockup and you will see what is going on at the time you experience the lugging feeling.
Not debating the definition of lugging here, but those data points will give you an...
I never bite on the free oil changes because in my experience, the wait time and subsequent second visit to fix what was done incorrectly on the free visit costs me more travel and wait time than just buying the oil and filter and doing it myself. That experience applies equally to Ford, GM and...
I considered one and did a test drive of a Rubicon version. It rode surprisingly well on the highway and was on par in general with the Ranger Tremor. Both have Fox shocks and a relatively long wheelbase which likely contributed to that similarity. The only thing that really turned me off...
Yes. Would doubt they would even look unless you popped an engine. That is when they would likely be required by Ford to look. You see, auto service centers are run like doctors offices these days for warranty. The service manager/mechanic writes up the diagnosis and submits to Ford for...
Looks normal for a year and a half in the Massachusetts area. I would have that drop in liner removed and a spray in liner put in its place. They will prep the area as part of install.
The drop in liners wiggle around constantly and rub through the paitn to the metal, then it does take a week...
Supposedly, the heater box issue was addressed somewhere mid 2020. I lean towards just the actuator. The problem I've seem with them in other vehicles is that the bcm runs a full sweep self check on them every time you start the vehicle. Plastic gears can only take so many hard limit tests...
I can't find any info on a Roush tune, but Ford Performance offers one. Not sure they have Carb approval yet for the 22-23 Rangers if that even matters where you are. There are a few options and I'm sure others will chime in with recommendations soon. The exhaust kits are generally produced...
Mine dilutes down a bit and ends up having 2-5% fuel in oil per Blackstone. 5w30 mobil tests at 5w20 at 5k mile intervals. I'm going to start running the 5w40 European blend now that they upped the api spec to SP. This is my second ecoboost, first was a 2013 f150 gen1 3.5. It had severe fuel...
I can say that mine works wonderfully in tow mode and sport. It is the regular default drive mode that shows random issues for me. I would tend to think that is software driven.
