"All new special editions with crazy fun colors to spice up the Ranger! The first crazy color will be... white"
Hopefully after putting on the rad graphics they'll have a guy go over it with a box wrench and make sure the bolts are actually tightened down on these ones.
I'm assuming that without using an engine/transmission combo that was already certified for use in the US we wouldn't even have a 5th gen Ranger right now. What remains to be seen is if they rectify the situation now that they've had an entire development cycle to fix their shortcomings. With...
Mechanically the 10-speed is fairly sound for an in house built transmission; unfortunately they program them like "Baby's First Transmission" and they're prone to all sorts of weird behavior. My F-150 used to lag between 3 and 4 and lurch randomly in higher gears. I had it reflashed to no avail...
Are there actually roof rails that fit? I can only seem to find ones to fit the RoW trucks or $1,000+ racks that make you drill a bunch of holes in the roof.
To answer you first question you might try contacting a dealer parts department or a reseller like Rock Auto and asking what the shipping weight of an OEM rotor is. I highly doubt there is a specific 2-piece rotor for the Ranger given the cost vs 1-piece blanks but there might be one from a...
Starting off with the basics (the pumpkin spice latte of mods, if you will) by changing out the rear shocks for Fox units. I also added red tow hooks for +10 Off-Roading Capability and so that people know I mean business.
Yes, when first pulling away after turning the truck on it sounds like it has the fan from a Detroit Diesel strapped to the front of it but only for maybe the first 25 feet and then it calms down.
I've seen similar offers, even "lifetime" warranties from dealers. The stipulation is usually that you have to have every factory recommended service performed at that dealer at the suggested mileage to maintain it.
My guess (and it's just that) is that some OEM wheels don't have the same seat shape for the lugs as aftermarket wheels do since OEMs are hub centric and most aftermarket wheels are lug centric.
It's Amazon, you can't just look at the star rating. If you read through the real reviews and look at the pictures posted there are an alarming amount of people who's lug nuts have broken into pieces the first year of use.
Granted these are still just renders but I'm not in love with it either. I will say it looks better on the Ranger than it does on the Maverick; the Mav's exterior gives me the "we're not really trying and we don't care who knows it" vibes of late 90's-early 00's Ford.
You have to remember, while we just got the (mildly tweaked) T6 in 2019, the rest of the world has been driving it since 2011. The 2022/2023 model isn't going to be a ground-up redesign; it's the same updated platform that the Bronco and Everest are riding on. The biggest changes they're likely...
When I had my Honda I used to pull the caliper off and hose everything with brake cleaner and then relubricate the clips, pins, and back of the pads when it was time for a tire rotation. It helped everything function a little longer on the salt encrusted roads of NY.
