FX4 was MANDATORY for my Ranger!! I wasn't getting one without it. The sticker looks so cool too! I don't understand people that buy the package, then pull the sticker off because they don't like it. Thanks for the story, cool stuff!!
Seems like it would be easy enough to pull 12V from the bed plug if you have the factory plug that comes with the drop-in bed liner. Seems like the harness would be close still if your truck didn't have it, and you could add it.
I hear ya man!! I'm babying mine too. I have my old danger Ranger to drive in the salt & crap. Besides, it's already pre-rusted!! I let my new Ranger sit in the garage, which is fine because I have some thing else to drive. I drive it when the roads dry up.
Nothing wrong with saving what...
The delay is so long that one time I thought it was in gear already and let off the brakes, ready to back out of the garage. Then it dropped into gear...... **WHAM!!!**
Hi all,
I have a 2019 Lariat w/all the toys. Very happy with it except the transmission. It seems to have gotten worse now that it's cold outside. After the truck has sat overnight and I drive it for the first time of the day. I start it, put it in reverse to back out of the garage, and it...
I had a chance to look at this today for you while I was installing my taligate damper. The screws that hold on the tailgate liner are T-20 Torx heads. I don't know what the threads are, but the screws are .800" long, and they have these metal cup washers with them too. Hope this helps?
I used to thunk that too, especially after lowering a much heavier steel tailgate on my 1997 Ranger for 18 years without a damper. Then we had to move my daughter to a new apartment using my new Ranger. I'd walk up to the tailgate with a full load of stuff in my hands, then have to put it all...
Owned mine 3 months now. My thoughts:
The bad:
Brakes are 'mushy' and the pedal has too much travel. I about put everyone through the windshield when I drive my Wife's Malibu.
Factory running boards could be a little wider.
Garage door opener buttons on the sunvisor. Why aren't they on the...
Congrats! That's a sweet ride!! I've had a Lariat almost identical to yours for 3 months, and I didn't hardly get SQUAT off the price compared to you. I got 2K off, and the good financing. I knew that i could get it cheaper if I waited, but I could not hold my horses anymore!!
That's where I was at too. I traded a loaded 2015 Camaro 2SS with 26K miles on it for my 2019 Lariat. My old 1997 Ranger was getting pretty long in the tooth after driving it for 17 years, so it is semi-retired now. Loved that Camaro and if I had deeper pockets and a place to keep it, she'd...
Block heater in S. Texas? Yeah you won't use it. I live in a much colder climate and I can say the block heater is not really needed. With my Ranger, 2 minutes warm up and you already got heat in the cabin. It's amazing how fast these newer (aluminum) engines warm up & transfer heat.
Hello All,
Joined awhile back. I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat, SuperCrew FX4 in Platinum White. Got it about 3 months ago. My first ever 4x4, first ever new truck. I have a 1997 Ranger 4x2 XLT that I have driven for 17 years. When I first heard the Ranger was coming back, I bided my time and...
I turned mine off. Mine would go off when I was coming up quickly on a slower vehicle, just about to pass and the truck kicks on the brakes. Everytime it kicked in, it was not a legit situation. I don't like it when I'm trying to actively drive and my vehicle is fighting me and not obeying my...
Just found a new minor annoyance. The clock did not adjust itself back an hour for the end of daylight saving time today. It took a manual adjustment. Surprised by this since it gets GPS time and uses it to set the clock.
I meant on the UPPER console just ahead of the sunglasses compartment. I've had 3 other vehicles that the opener buttons were located there and not on the visor. My buttons are all programmed for different doors.
My pet peeves are the garage door buttons are on the sun visor. Flip the visor over to use the garage door opener if I'm using the visor when I pull into the garage. Shoulda put it on the upper center console!!! Also, the rearview mirror autodims with bright lights behind me. Why not the side...
