My opinion on the name choice...... Maverick doesn't mean squat to a lot of people in the targeted price range of this truck because they weren't around to see a Maverick car. Courier, while cool to all of us who remember it, probably doesn't get the juices flowing for most when compared to...

I am just happy you didn't paint them red. Apparently, nothing screams OFF ROAD! like red tow hooks. Well, 3 lights in the grille has become a popular "off road" look. I passed 3 trucks on a 3 mile stretch this morning that had a "Raptor" look grille. Two of them weren't even Ford's. Poor Raptor...

Fair enough. Thanks. I have an XLT 302a so I have factory remote start. I would like one, it's one of my most missed features on this truck compared to my F-150's of the past. I think it looks terrible for the most part, but.....Not much of a choice. Worse case I pay a dealer to program it...

Is this accurate? I read thru instructions linked in the last post and didn't see anything that didn't mention using the Ford scan tool.

Falken Widpeak tires probably means this is the FX4 or Timberline model. Looks like a winner. Not sure that exhaust is final. Looks like it's against the rear suspension. XLT AWD with 302A package for right at $30,000 (guess based of Bronco Sport pricing) will sell well IMHO. I might consider...

From Ford Authority:

I owned a 90' and 94' and both were pretty great trucks. Both were 5 speed manuals tho....?. I don't fault the guy for getting rid of his truck. He seemed to have a lot of issues with it. I haven't had many issues, but the dealers near me, and some not so near are pretty much incompetent. It...

A trick I use for making the clay bar much easier is rinse and wash a panel/section at a time. Then either dip your sponge etc. in the soap bucket and run it over the previously washed panel squeezing the sponge to release enough soapy water to coat. Then clay that panel and rinse. I personally...

I went with Grabber A/T X 265/70-17 in standard load. I did so for several reasons, one of them being I was afraid of most of what the OP described in his original post. With the SL version weighing 44lbs, the C load 46lbs and E load 55lbs per tire. I only gave up 2/32 (14/32 vs 16/32) tread...

I thought the rear shocks on my F-150 were trash. A common complaint from those forums especially when towing. Then I bought My Ranger and under certain circumstances I felt the shocks and struts were worse, border line insanity the way they have no rebound damping and the truck would dive and...

I shopped Koons when I bought my truck. I got my MSRP $40,080 truck for a selling price of $35k before tax, tags doc fees etc. in June of 19' when they were pretty scarce and there were no rebates. I financed $37,300. I didn't buy from Koons because the truck they had was missing the rear...

The oil life monitor is generic, set on different inputs like load, towing temp etc. It is not scientific, but a guide based on averages. It has no way of knowing if you're using full synthetic Mobil or the worst oil in the world. Extended oil change intervals/oil breaking down increases oil...

Keep us posted please. Yeah, definitely if you find it let us know. I don't tromp my truck often. Every now and again just to clear it out ?, but today pulling out from a stop and turning right, I got on it briefly, had a little bit of wheel spin and maybe accelerated to 50 mph. The message...

There are two different things being discussed in this thread. The surge/buck/hesitation is corrected (at least mine was ) via TSB to reprogram the PCM. I live in a very cold area and have never experienced the slow to engage complaint of the OP. We have had sub zero and -30* wind chills...

You think that's something. Wait until the first time you see a Big Foot!

Be careful, the forum police are always on patrol....??. The only thing better would have been for you to ask about the whine and some one reply "use the search function". LOL. BTW, thanks for the post. You gotta love tho how Ford throws out these "some" and it's normal. Normal for some due to...

Thanks. I am not real familiar with any of these systems. I am gonna watch these closely. My initial plan was to maybe purchase another new truck end of 2024. The timing would be good as far as this PHEV Ranger getting some real world ironing out.

Yep 100% same. I am seeing that the Ranger is being reported as a plug in hybrid where as the F-150 is not. That sounds more like the system in the Escape than the F-150's system. IDK? All things considered, if this 2023 Ranger PHEV doesn't have the on board generator system like the F-150,( I...

Things aren't always as they appear? Don't know if there's a catch to the listed price or not. I did get my new 19' early summer 2019 for $35,000 before tax and tags. The truck stickered for just over $40,000 and there wasn't much inventory at the time. It was a straight, no trade deal, so they...

Wix makes the "FoMoCo", (not Motorcraft) filter that come on most, if not all Fords from the factory. They used to be made by Champ Labs. Motorcraft Brand are mainly made by Purolator. However Mann/Hummel now owns both Wix and Purolator, so they could potentially interchange brands for...
