Living in South Florida I donāt really have to worry much about sand/dust getting kicked up. I can see this being very beneficial where you live though.
On water crossings though I do believe the diesel Rangers are rated to be able to cross deeper water than we are. I remember seeing the video...
Yeah itās a bit disturbing with me only my having 1,800 miles on my truck currently. I wasnāt planning on upgrading the suspension anytime soon, but I may consider it in the near future.
While installing the Diode foglight kit today, I noticed how crappy my FX4 shocks are looking. The photos are of the front driver and passenger. Anyone else notice this on their trucks?
Picked up a set of these lights via Offroad Alliance. Kit number is āDD6347ā with light color YELLOW / 3000k temp. The kit replaces your entire foglight housing and are rated road legal.
Picture 1: The Lights.
The install is a bit of a pain in the ass. While the Stage3 video(BAJA fog install)...
Tried out the Diode PRO Fogs at night. These guys pump out some serious light.
Picture 1: No lights as reference.
Picture 2: Fogs only
Pictures 3-4-5: generic views of light pattern.
Installed the DIODE DYNAMICS PRO Foglight Kit. I followed another members posting on just removing the FX4 skid plate and the air deflectors in front of the wheels. Tight space but doable. Installing the second light was a breeze after fiddling with the first one.
My app worked great when I first bought my truck. Took a bit to turn on the truck, but it did function. Not long after the app started crashing on opening of the app. I gave up on it for a while. Soon after the latest updates the app began to work, but turning on the truck took forever. To the...
Iām a simple man, I want the 7-Speed manual in my Ranger.
I could say I would love the 2.7 with the manual. Nowif Iām going to swing for the fence, Iād swing for the 3.5 or 5.0. That would just be crazy talk though.
Not saying I have a need for 30+ gallons, but I sure wish there was an option for more than the factory offered. My personal preference would be around 24-25 gallons.
Changed out the radio theme to the Ford GT. A couple of the other themes(raptor and mustang for example) just stayed black. Unfortunately, the theme went back to stock after I turned off the truck.
I have less than 1,500 miles so far, so take this as you will.
My last fill up averaged 21.2 mpg driving in āDā. The previous fill up netted me 18.4 driving in āSā. The truck does drive substantially better in S than in standard Drive.
Both of these were calculated using the Fuelly app and I...
Thanks for info, i did not know that.
And you are correct, it is a fantastic daily. My father in law wasnāt impressed when we went for a drive. He mentioned you forget youāre in a truck once youāre up to speed.
My assessment of the truck is pretty similar to yours. Biggest difference is this is my first time owning a truck.
I test drove a 4cyl. Colorado a couple years ago, and I too did not find the drivers seat comfortable. Though I didnāt like the material the Z71 seats came with. Not having driven...
I use the one that came with my Subaru WRX STI. Iām glad I never got rid of it since it fits perfectly! Sure my truck looks like it has an identity crisis, but Iām cool with not having to buy the Ford one.
