agreed. I mean, sure, the Ranger isn't nearly as quiet as the F150 Platinum I drove for work a couple summers ago. But I don't expect it to be. That thing had air-conditioned leather seats, for cryin' out loud.

Yeah, I'm letting the dealer deal with mine because of the risk of seized plugs. I'm having them just do all the plugs at once, too, so they're all at the same wear level. I don't necessarily expect that part to be covered by anything, but it would be nice if the extended warranty did cover that...

The service tech I spoke with this morning has been trying a few things. The last avenue we had was my extended warranty and it's been a couple hours since our last conversation about that so I'm hoping he got somewhere with them. It's currently at a different dealership than the one where I...

I thought I was having the transmission problem, but the diagnosis from the shop is in, and it turns out I have this problem. Yay. Going to have to pay something, but I'm working every possible avenue to cut that amount. Currently checking with my extended warranty (Triton Protect) to see what...

diagnosis is in for my Ranger. it's not the transmission. it's the "water in the #1 spark plug" issue

the sound thing is weird. my 2019 is the quietest vehicle I've owned. granted all the vehicles I've owned have been less expensive than the ranger, and have definitely been on the noisy side, but my Ranger is comfortably quiet. I have felt zero need to add any kind of sound dampening. but...

This is how I transport bikes with my Hiker Trailer. I've pulled this same trailer with a Subaru and used a roof rack on the subie. Definitely not ebikes, though. Sounds like mine are close to half the weight of yours. I DO NOT LIKE tailgate pads, period. I drive down many dusty gravel forest...

there are several ways you could handle this. With the reinforcement framing, the lowest-profile method would be to get a couple of roof mount trays and clamp them to the reinforcement framing. They'd be semi-permanent at minimum (probably removable, but kindof a PITA to do so). What you could...

honestly I wouldn't trust anything I could get there if I wanted targeted extermination. the types of things they sell will kill EVERYTHING, oftentimes. my wife is a veterinarian and has seen a TON of pets poisoned by the kinds of products people get at the local feed and seed to deal with...

yeah, that crap sucks. had a chemistry lab in high school that involved melting napthalene and I didn't do very well with that one. definitely got into headache and nausea territory.

pssshhhh, I've seen much worse

just shy of 45k on my 2019. Up until recently, no problems. But just since January, I've had the blend door issue and the transmission issue. Blend door was repaired under the extended warranty. In the shop now for the transmission issue, which should fall under the mfr powertrain warranty. I...

Your vehicle can only safely tow as much as the lowest-rated component in the system. If your receiver is rated to 6,000lbs, then your max tow can only ever be 6,000lbs. If you use a ball mount rated to 1500lbs, then your system rating is only going to be 1500lbs. If you use a ball mount rated...

I've definitely noticed when coasting that the Ranger has more resistance. Makes sense that it's using that for sending a charge boost to the electrical system. I've noticed that on milder descents near where I live, it'll hold its speed and not require braking to keep from accelerating. It'll...

I do agree that the buttons on the Ranger's dash leave a bit to be desired. More texture. Backlighting. The way they are, with the right lighting conditions, the unlit dash just washes out into a sea of darkness. On my XLT, though, if you can find the buttons, you can adjust temp on the dash...

My boss has had a Powerboost F150 for awhile now. He got the base trim, and with the Powerboost he said it had all the options he wanted that he'd have to get a much higher trim to get without the Powerboost. He averages a few mpg better than I do in my Ranger (he told me recently he's...

ah, good point that the powertrain warranty is different than the rest. I had to dip into the extended warranty to get the blend box dealt with earlier this year. I bought my Ranger in April of 2020, and I'm just under 45k, so I'm definitely under the 5/60k threshold.

Warranty paperwork says they prefer me to have it done at the dealership where I bought it, but that they'll take care of it wherever if I call. Mine is through Triton Protect if that makes any difference.

Looks like mine shit the bed today. Was trying to merge on the interstate and got the symptoms described in the TSB. Looks like extended warranty major job #2 for 2024 is coming up. The dealer that sold me the truck told me they're booked a month out. F*ck that noise. Found a dealer in the next...
