I drove my Ranger on my work trip this week to Albuquerque because I knew I’d have one free day. I took it on a forest road East of Albuquerque. It was a fun trail that is perfect for the Ranger’s capabilities.
I have the Hankook AT2 in this size (265/70R17) and they are about 2 pounds lighter, but looking at the 285/70R17, it is really the lightweight for this size tire. If I decide to move up to that size, the Trail Terrain would be worth the consideration.
If you lift the rear, then your driveshafts (there are two on the Rangers) will be at different angles than stock, preventing the transmission output and the rear axle from being parallel. This will create vibrations at specific speeds.
I don’t use Bluetooth, just the wired Apple CarPlay. At some point they implemented some restrictions that prevent me from using the on-screen interface music controls. I have to use voice commands, especially when driving, and have difficulty playing albums and are pretty much limited to just...

A couple of months ago, at this dealership, I noticed three Rangers in the lot. I checked them online and they were used with between 5000-12000 miles on them. They were all listed at the MSRP of a new one. I don't know how much they sold for, but they were only on the lot for a few days.
I noticed two Ranger Tremors at a nearby dealer. This morning I looked them up on the dealer's website. The pricing seems odd. FIrst they are both marked up over MSRP. Okay. But they are identically equipped and the red one is way more. Is red way more popular than black? By the way, I'm not...
I like my Ranger. My family does not. They sit in the back seat. I don’t.
I also drive rental cars several times a month. One week I was in a F150. My daughter liked it better, as the evidence below proves.
