As I contemplate things, I doubt its the front driveshaft. This is all taking place in 2WD, and I would think the front driveshaft is not rotating in 2WD. For what its worth, the noise cuts in at 23mph and does not really chsnge with RPMs and does not change too noticeably at higher speeds...

I've noticed a whining sound similar to the noise made in this thread: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/whining-2020-ranger-fx4.38145/#post-907858 Following the advice there, I looked at the center support bearing. There is some play in it, but no noise and the play could simply be the...

Popping in because my 2020 Ford has started making a very similar noise. Wondering if you ever figured out this issue.

For $25 off Amazon, these door sill protectors look pretty nice, and hide some of the scuffs and chips that were there. Let's see how long they last: Before: After: Rear:

FINAL UPDATE: Took it into the local Ford dealership today (first available appointment I could make). They did an inspection on it and "recommended rotors and pads." When I pressed as to why the rotors were warped, the service manager looking at the paperwork kinda shrugged. I pressed him as...

FOLLOWING UP: I spoke to a Ford tech freelance, and showed him these same images. He told me that the rotation of the piston is generally okay, as it'd be at 12 & 6 when the pads are new, and it then will roate some as the pads wear down naturally. He stressed checking the slide pins to ensure...

So, armed with this I took the passenger side off again just now to share what I found. You can see the off-set of the piston on the pad really well. And on the 2nd image you can see the tapering better than yesterday's picture. FWIW, the piston is off center to the thicker side of the pad...

Why do I have the feeling this is the ultimate issue here? Again, I haven't done any brake work on this vehicle having bought it back in February, but I did notice the piston off center on the pad. Would I be correct in assuming the dimples on the piston should be centered at 12 & 6? If so...

No. Mainly just city driving to and from work. An occasional gravel road but nothing to really kick all that in. And if it does, its not showing on the dash.

I had an alignment done in June and the front pass side toe was out. Otherwise I have done nothing to the wheels / brakes etc since purchase other than a tire rotation when I changed the oil, also in June. I did not inspect the front brake pads as the shimmy has been through the seat instead...

My 2020 Ranger with 80k on it I bought used as a RAV at 72k miles. I've been noticing a shaking in my seat when slowing indicative of warped rotors, and brake noise, especially after first starting to move. I can do a brake job myself, and have in other vehicles. However, since I've still got...

This. However, I've had 2 times in my 47 years that I have needed to change a tire alongside the road, and both were my wife's vehicle as opposed to either of my Ford Rangers. The first time, though, was at 3AM on a long road trip several hundred miles from home, and it was bad enough there was...

That's kind of the direction I'm leaning. I can get the OEM tool kit for around $50, but was wondering if there are any after market options that would work. Looking around at local salvage yards, doesn't seem that anyone has any Rangers on the yard, which is a good thing in a sense!

I had seen some jacks & tool kits sold seperately on eBay (that's where I was getting my price estimate from). hadn't seen that listing, though. Thanks!

Funny part is the funnel was there, yes. Not sure how or why the jack & tools ended up missing, why the people who got rid of it would keep that stuff or if the Ford folks removed it at a some point. Who knows?

When I bought my used 2020 Ranger back in Febuary, I had looked at a few and made the mistake of not looking under the back seat of the one I ended up getting to ensure the jack and tools were there. I finally realized this recently (thankfully not during a roadside emergency). The OEM set...

Yesterday, took a little drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway in western NC - at least part that is open with the Helene recovery. Along the trip were a series of 4 tunnels. They were short, but not well lit, unlike some interstate highway tunnels. I've gotten into the habit of leaving my...

Salisbury here. Joined the 4x4 club a couple months back. Thinking it will be good for a OBX trip or if I want to drive over to Uwharrie which isn't too far for me.

Whelp... I figure this is the right thread. My profile pic says it all. But I made this nice little mod to the 2020 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew I bought just over a month ago. I got the letters from TVD Vinyl Decals, and I couldn't be happier. Best $30 I've spent so far. The to-do list for the front...
