"A multi-leaf rear spring setup enables increased wheel travel" I would imagine we're gonna see this across the board on the 23' Ranger. The current truck has terrible flex for off road with the parabolic spring.

Stock are 265/65-17, 30.6" vs 31.6" for the 265/70-17. Plus the fact that the grabber is a bit more aggressive looking, add to the beefier appearance. ?

Been kicking around the Bronco idea. Was torn between the 2 door or 4 door, but think if I do pull the trigger it will be a 2 door. I see what I think could be a deal braking (for me) flaw on the 4-door design. The rear fender flares will likely build up snow/slush etc. from the road and freeze...

Tires are 265/70-17 (31.6" aka 32" )General Grabber ATX. They fit fine without a lift, so crash bars should be same. Press release doesn't give a ton of specifics, but does list some. Ranger Tremor press release

Agree. The decals would be a lot better by simply removing the "red" (pink??) stripe and leaving the gray. I also feel like Ford should have really pushed the aftermarket for a front torsen/tru trac mechanical limited slip diff.

Dealer did do the flash on mine and I have not noticed my minor surging on cold mornings like previously. I mainly noticed it on a short loop taking my kids to school and that loop is no longer in my routine, so I can't say 110% for sure it eliminated the issue, but I do believe it did. I did...

Here is a thread, not my pic, but exactly the same and a good write up and info. Trying a direct link, but it's post #113 if this doesn't take you directly there. RedArc thread with pics

Unless something changed, no. The TSB should show up when the tech runs the data base with customer concern categories. That's why it makes no sense for these dealers to even throw the old "we can't verify it, or it's normal". Just hook up the scan tool, check for a later calibration. If the...

My truck does this also while pulling out of a certain road and making a sharp left. It is a little dip in the transition from one road to the next. I have assumed it is the abs/traction control and it does it so briefly I don't get a light either. In my case it really doesn't matter because the...

I don't think back yard mechanics are the problem. I think internet forum mechanics are getting confused with what is a vibration and what is a surge. Two very different things. I think "Service Managers" are also getting confused with what is normal and what is easier to say is normal. Ford...

I found that while laying under my truck and grabbing the rear driveshaft, I can move it up and down and there is a clunk that can be heard and felt coming from the slip yoke. I have finally made an appointment and explained in great detail that my vibration is load (or in my case no/light load)...

Wow. That is pretty bad. More truck like?? Really??

While I personally don't think snow tires are needed on a 4x4 truck with a competent AT tire like the Hankooks, I have used the General Altimax Arctic line on cars with great results. I would go with a 245 or 255 width if I were to use a snow tire on the Ranger.

To me, this will depend on two things. 1.) Looks and 2.) Price It has to look like a pickup. Honda has failed twice in this aspect. And it has to be affordable to hit it's likely buyer. Ford might get away with some top trim levels pushing into Ranger territory, but most buyers are going to want...

Many years ago when I worked at a service department I took a Ranger home for an engine noise (ping/rattle) that the selling dealer would only say "was normal". The customer gave me permission because like the OP, he just wanted his truck fixed. Long story short, we got the guy a new crate...

Just saw this post....I had the exact same thing with the exact same fix. My defroster grill was vibrating also. Removed it and put felt on it. Today it was cold and I had a bit of that annoying vibration back. Time to buy more felt!!

I believe it's more like a rear window defrost grid that runs under your wiper blades while they are in the park position. When you use remote start and probably front or rear defrost it turns it on. Not 100% on that, but should help some. Especially in the freezing rain states!!

I gotta admit, I'm a no exhaust on turbo engines kind of guy, but that doesn't sound bad. I don't like the split rear look, would prefer dual side version.

I used the CRC on my F-150 @ 15k, 30k and 45k with out issues. I also do 5k OCI to help prevent too much oil vapors through the PCV system. I personally think the extended OCI is the 2nd biggest contributor next to the lack of port fuel injection. Turbos are prone to this problem more due to...

Did you get your alignment checked after the install? I am wondering how much it changed on the 1.2" #3 perch setting. Gonna do my install soon and wondering on the alignment. Thanks!! EDIT: Okay, got everything installed and had alignment checked. Before: Caster, both sides 3.4* ( Spec...
