I need to get better at taking fish pics, but I usually try to release in the water. My buddy posing with some Chicken of the Woods mushrooms; they legit do taste like chicken. Winter chanterelles

Hahah I didn't want to inundate it too much with off-topic pictures. I'll add some fish pics. Hit my personal best for wild river rainbow at 22" and a fat 4 pounds, on a little china knockoff barbless spinner, got some nice younger steelhead, and not a single silver salmon or early chinook...

Did a 3000 mile / 3 week long road trip back in September, from Northern California, up the Oregon coast, into the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. Mainly fishing for steelhead, big wild river rainbows, and hoped for some early season salmon. First time taking the Tremor out on a real...

Ah, so you're 70 years old... Makes more sense now, Dad. Good to see these forums are alive with helpful folks. Thanks for policing my desire to push the platform forward. ? ?‍♂️

Recent F150 and Explorer wheels bolt on. Some Explorer wheels appear to even have the same connector, although pinouts might be different, mixed information, haven't dove too deep. Additional complication is the adaptive cruise control, and whether there is a difference with the button...

The thread isn't about whether you think a manual transmission is better, or whether you think paddle shifters are worth it. Paddle shifters are offered on all variety of Ford vehicles, whether their intended use is sporty or not. This is about adding that feature to the USA Ranger. Stop...

Bumping this. The APG truck says that its running the Explorer ST steering wheel and center console shifter. I want to know whether it's actually functioning, or just there for show. That said, the Explorer console shifter looks pretty nice. I'm dead set on getting paddles into my Ranger.

DO IT! Also, hi, Dave.

So does this give you a regular standard tach?!?

I'm using $20 worth of cheapo 12v LED lighting strip that is attached to a cheapo $20 12v switch panel that has a voltmeter and usb ports in a small sealed box bolted under the lip of the bed, behind the taillights. It is powered off a second isolated battery (a 12v 20ah AGM powersports...

Because they could have spent an extra $100 and made it like every other car out there, where the shifter moves into a slot and allows you to work it like a traditional sequential shifter (a la rally cars, etc). Shifting requires an actual tactile feel. You yourself just made the point by...

The "gear switch" is a total laughable joke. You couldn't pay me to use that crap. Besides, the whole point of the paddle shifters is to keep your hands on the wheel. I will use Sport mode and the manual mode when I need to hold a gear in a higher speed situation where I don't want to use...

For stock and 99% of all Ranger drivers, I agree, it's great and these days even a 1% increase in MPG is a huge win. But I run the Ford Performance tune and even that improves things a lot. I wish it wasn't quite so shift happy. I understand that's the whole point, but with 2.3L of...

The 10 speed transmission is actually quite cool in terms of technology, and it has the capability to shift nearly as fast as a dual clutch, as it's well beyond just your normal torque converter situation. In theory it has the specs to beat the classic ZF 8HP. Problem is that Ford gives the...

I'm gearing up for a few week long solo overland trip end of this month, and would love to bring one of my kayaks to hit some alpine lakes for trout. I'm running a decently large rooftop tent on my rack that is 48" wide, and I have 68" of total crossbar real estate. I'm curious if anyone on...

I'm enjoying how the color makes the truck fairly low key, most people don't pay it much attention, which is what I'm going for. Congrats. I come from an Audi SQ5 and honestly, the Lariat isn't lacking anything in comparison, it even has a few additional things I like that the Audi didn't.

I'll add my experience with the Ford Performance tune; it's absolutely great. It's exactly what I was looking for and performs exactly as advertised. It's how the vehicle should have been from the factory, as it still keeps parameters pretty mild and it's a solid improvement both peak and...

I've been struggling with this too because I don't want to clamp the body, it's just a bad idea in theory IMO, but I also don't want to pay $600 for a bolt in Rhino Rack crossbar solution, or a $750 Prinsu solution when I already have a nice big cargo basket. I could care less about drilling...

Another pic from last weekend's adventure. Trying to decide between an MIA Pioneer 2 person or Body Armor 4x4 generic 2 person.

Came across this recently bumped thread. Would the BMS system affect the output from my 12v cigarette lighter ports? My air compressor runs on 12v and I've noticed super inconsistent performance with my 2021 Ranger, which is observable. Sometimes I will air up and the pump will barely run...
