The first time I drove my new ranger (ordered it) I had instant buyers remorse. It shuttered like hell and the ride was the jitteriest thing I have ever drove; it gave me an instant headache and made me physically sick to my stomach. I sold my 2011 ranger the day before and I missed it...
If you're referring to a super-cab, look under the rear seat head rest and you will see a small flap. Pull it out and you will see a bolt head, remove the bolt and you can remove the seat back. Once you remove the seat backs, you will expose the flapper valves that allow you to open and close...
I turned my XLT into a work truck.
I did my own rear seat delete, as ford chose not to give you that option on and XLT ; Ford gives that option on an XL, but they also don't offer Sync 3 on an XL, short story is it cost me an extra 500 bucks.
I ordered this truck with doing this in mind, it's...
I ordered the factory all weather floor mats when I ordered my truck, what a colossal waste of $135.00. I then ordered the husky's, what a vastly superior solution. As you can see from the photos, the factory mats have a huge cutout right at the gas pedal (you know, right where your muddy shoes...
I just joined the 430 mile high club. Dash says 25.4 mpg; fuelly calculated to 24.1 mpg. My 2019 ranger is only averaging only about 1/2 mpg less than my 2011 ranger did with a 2.3L and 5 speed manual, despite the new ranger weighing about 700 lbs more and being able to tow 5 times as much. I'm...
I left my truck overnight at the dealership, so that they could replicated the situation. One week after they told me just drive it and that there where no TSB's on my truck; all of a sudden there WAS a TSB. Even though I never had a CEL, it did have stored codes this time. What I think the...
I do have a slight shutter during some shifts, but that problem is getting better with time. Mine often shift 1-3-4-5-6 , sometimes it's 1-3-5-6. Neither one of those conditions bother me and I think it's a good idea.
My problem is a dead miss when it's cold. When I first start the engine, it's...
I did fill the gas tank before I even used half of the first tank to see if improved anything (it did not) I filled up at the shell station I have primarily used for the last 15 years. When the engine is first started cold, it's often a dead miss for the first 10 or 15 seconds, but the engine is...
I agree, it would seem to be the case sometimes, but I must say from my experience (as a former dealership mechanic) , I have known some to be just as you describe, but I have know some great ones also. I had one service manager who was a full blown sociopath.
I ordered the truck, as the only trucks on dealer lots for the next few months where all going to be crew cabs with 4WD, I wanted a super cab and 2WD.
I took delivery 3 months to the day. I was very satisfied with the sales staff, I got a fair deal with no BS. The sales manager even offered to...
I'm thinking I have a bad injector. When I first picked this truck up from the dealer this Tuesday I notices a pronounced engine shutter when accelerating lightly and while coasting back down. I immediately mentioned it to my salesman who had followed me home in my car to drop the truck off at...
Just to let everyone know, these parts are listed incorrectly in the catalog, if you order these part numbers, you will get the same parts you are trying to replace. My dealer is trying something different and we will know in about a week if the parts come in correctly.
Please let the group know when they are available, I will get my new ranger in a week or two and I already know the factory tie downs will not work for a lot of things I do.
I have been trying for some time to determine if the towing package on the Ranger included any additional cooling for the engine/oil/transmission and have seen no literature indicating this from Ford or any other publication. My guess is that all Rangers have the cooling capacity to tow the full...
