  1. Ranger vs F150

    I loved this F150, my last truck, but did not love the 15 mpg, I am all done with big construction projects, so my new Ranger is just about the right size for a fishing truck. But I DO resent that I could not get the cooled seats that my son got in his 2019 Explorer.
  2. Tie downs

    I installed these and agree with above; do not use these for anything heavy. These merely pinch about 1/4" of sheet metal on each side. If they rip out, the body-work repair might be messy.
  3. Tie downs

    You say, "you have to grind down part of the shoulder", can you tell us what part of the shoulder, exactly? I am trying to visualize this before I order them.
  4. Hankook tires, any good?

    You have been misinformed about OEM tires. These are very good tires, but designed only for the test-drive. Don't get me wrong, they last far longer than the test-drive, but these are the tires that Ford engineers designed the suspension for and these tires work great. My problem with the...
  5. FX4 package or just the 4x4 with Locking Axle?

    Whatever you do, get the adaptive-cruise. And, I believe that 80-90% of FX4 buyers get that option for the "FX4" sticker on the fender, because that is the percentage of these that never go off-road. I am not saying that the FX4 package is a gimmick, but I sure do not need it and I am in the...
  6. Has anyone done a transmission oil change yet

    When folks say that "they don't make them like they used to", I reply, "Thank Goodness". When I started tinkering with engines, cars, and motorcycles in the '50s, a 100K mile vehicle was a rare bird. Consider. Sealed batteries were an astonishment to me when they came out. I put the tranny...
  7. Waiting for someone to supply these two items

    Yeah, I hate the gnarly looking welds on the underside, too. I do not need a step and my wife does not like them because they dirty the back of your pants legs. I hate the look of that underside tab, too. Just unsightly. I am thinking of some kind of tape applique, or having it painted black...
  8. F150 to Ranger

    Do I miss going from 15 to 23 MPG? Not much. I sold my F150 to a good friend, he is delighted with it and I am happy for him.
  9. Considering a SuperCab, Anybody Regret Buying a SuperCab?

    I love my supercab. I had much more room in the back of my former F150 but with a bed-cap, I never put anything in the back seat but my hat. Strictly cargo or dogs go in the dog hammock slung between the headrests. The seats themselves are in a bag on a garage shelf. My wife has a four-door...
  10. Considering a SuperCab, Anybody Regret Buying a SuperCab?

    How did you do away with the seat backs? I understand they are important for air management when opening and closing doors. On another string, I read where the replacement parts are around $300 - unreasonable to me.
  11. Epic FL > CA > FL Roadtrip in my FX4! 7233mi. MPG =

    That looks like a most enjoyable road trip. Congrats on your safe return. I have done many, many cross-country trips on my F150 last truck but while it was a most comfy ride even with two big dogs in the supercab hammock, I never enjoyed the 15 mpg.
  12. New Mexico I am seeking a set of 18" Ranger take-off rims.

    Thanks for the offer, Stangman, but I just closed another deal on some. I hope you can find another buyer for yours.
  13. New Mexico I am seeking a set of 18" Ranger take-off rims.

    I am a little concerned regarding the padding around the rim-edges, but I am sure you are too. I love those Postal folks but they are not known for 'tenderness'. It was a pleasure doing business with you, Rob. PayPal funds sent.
  14. New Mexico I am seeking a set of 18" Ranger take-off rims.

    I am in 87025. Call me at 5758293111.
  15. New Mexico I am seeking a set of 18" Ranger take-off rims.

    SOLD! (Maybe I mean, bought?) I am in Northern NM. Will drive some distance, or pay shipping. I am all set for tires.
  16. Project Msfitoy V3.0

    Beauty, Sid.
  17. Horrible MPG's

    I consistently get between 23-24 overall at elevations around 7,000'. I punch it when I need to but otherwise always use the cruise for economy. My former 5.4 F150 never got better than 15, 10 with a trailer on. It is like I died and went to heaven!
  18. Wrapping console

    Not too impressed with the contact-paper feel and look, although it does brighten up the drab cabin a bit. I will leave it on for now, and see if it grows on me.
  19. 4X2 Ranger Tire Fitment

    How about fitting 275/65R18s instead of stock 265/60R18? Will this work without lift kits or other modifications?
  20. Biggest tires, no lift?

    I need tire advice. My standard tires are 265/60R18. Can I use 275/65R18s for winter tires? Will I have to spacer or anything, to avoid rubbing? (Anybody have a set of 18" wheels for sale?)
