  1. Alpha Rex headlights

    https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/alpha-rex-headlights.10776/ It was literally the only thread that came up when "alpha rex" was searched. I still have not found any information on beam pattern and lumen output in a real world test for them. The fitment says '16-'21 trucks, which would...
  2. All vehicles should have this feature and here is another I think trucks need

    My 2000 Jeep Sport had the low washer warning lamp. In off camber off road situations, it lit up and dinged and drove me CRAZY. Was nice to know though. I would like a "tailgate ajor" warning or notification. I always check but almost drive off from HD the other day with my gate down. I could...
  3. Text messages on info screen

    This only shows up when you are at a stop. Definitely not safe to be reading a text while in motion. You can adjust the volume of the "reading" if you turn the volume knob up while the text is being read. As for the text not showing. I had this issue at two different points on two different...
  4. 87 tune

    Not recommended as your tailgate damper could overheat. ? I"m interested in the same goals as the OP. I've consistently run 93 in the truck since emptying the free dealer tank. It's starting to get pricey. I luckily don't drive as much with a new job, but for long trips up the east coast and...
  5. Paint Correction!

    Worked with chemical guys on my 87. Old and oxidized paint in need. Did a two step with light cutting, then a glaze, and topped with carnauba. Took all day, and was worth it. Used my old Porter Cable, v36 followed by v38 on orange pad, then some glossworkz on white pad and butter wet wax on a...
  6. No more engine cover for the Lariat

    Hot dang they pinching pennies
  7. Backing a small trailer...

    The parking senair Yeah, double check you have the correct length entered. Both my shorter utility and jet ski use a 4-pin connection and disable the parking sensors as soon as the trailer is recognized. The larger has a 7-pin and also cancels it immediately. I can hand push my utility...
  8. Our Rear Leaf Springs Suck?

    This. I have lifted my trucks, jeeps, etc for decades, and will NEVER use a block. Phil is spot on as the broken leafs i've seen at the ORV parks and race courses have deformation at the point of contact to the block, and in the broken instances at the block as well.
  9. Backing a small trailer...

    I drove a 2006 TJ 6spd for years. I can rock that hard core. Just feels the Ranger, no matter how slowly I am going, the short trailers just stopsresponding sooner than anything I've driven. And that high tailgate blocks my entire trailer for the jet ski. Rear camera is awesome however in that...
  10. Backing a small trailer...

    And then it jackknifes! But for real, anyone have trouble with smaller trailers? I have a 5x8 utility and my jet ski as smaller trailers. I also have a 6x16 landscape style trailer for larger loads. The larger trailer is just butter backing it anywhere. The two smaller trailers can be a...
  11. Noticable cab vibration going over 85mph

    Why are you driving that fast? ? Mine is smooth at any speed I've tested it to. if it is speed sensitive, look to the tires, axles/joints and driveshaft as teh initial culprits. My old F150 driveshaft had some sass at 82mph, and only 82mph ?
  12. 2019 ford ranger lariat - transmission gets confused and does not go into gear when driving

    I have had the similar case happen on hills, not during daily driving. It's a hill issue like the truck is very confused how to select a gear. I use D for 95% of driving. I turn on the hill, and it will not downshift and only responds to sharp pedal input; I bog the engine for several seconds...
  13. Switch Panel for Aux Lighting - What is everyone using?

    Lightforce Fascia panel. I have my Redarc control knob, driving lights, and (currently) a lightbar switch installed. Getting rid of the light bar and adding two momentary switches to control my garage doors eventually.
  14. End the madness

    Mine does it too. KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL They're on the wheel, they can't be anymore on the wheel! I think it's the smooth, straight roads I'm on and not moving the wheel triggers it.
  15. Trim piece ???

    I was going to paint those red shortly after I got me truck, but got sidetracked by work. Now the Tremor package has the red color and I lost the motivation. ? It's definitely a cool look though.
  16. Alpha Rex Headlights

    Details on beam pattern, then price please. Looks neat. Wonder how long that start up animation will keeps it's novelty. It's just a bit too long for my tastes.
  17. Older Ranger Sighted - Unsure which gen

    The "Ranger" name was used as a trim level on the F series full size trucks starting in the late 60s through late 70s. It was a high trim level, with a "Ranger XLT" as well. The truck named Ranger was introduced as a 1983 model, and was a compact truck (although built just as sturdy as the...
  18. Looking to get a Ranger.. I have a few questions too obtuse for a salesman.

    Yep, misspoke. Still getting off 2 decades of Jeep speak. Same underbody guard, bash plate, front silver thingy lol It does not extend back like the FX4. These two were at one of the 3 dealers here in Columbia SC.
  19. Looking to get a Ranger.. I have a few questions too obtuse for a salesman.

    I just rolled by my local dealer here and checked out an FX2 - they have both a red and a white supercab. Might not be as hard to find as you think! Basically exactly the same as my 2019 FX4 without actual 4x4 and has no terrain management/trail control. Same suspension, front skids, and...
  20. Plastic carpet protection - long term

    Well I got a small sample of the adhesive plastic film. It definitely does work well! Gonna keep it on for 2 weeks and see if the adhesive leaves a residue. But the Saran wrap comment got me thinking. I just need small pieces, and put on some today on the passenger sode. We'll see how this...
