I liked my ‘23 before the Ranger. It was a good city driver but bad for anything fun I like doing. Especially became a problem during hunting season

thanks for the comment Bill! I’m thinking this solved it with the main reason being that when I first got this truck, the parking brake was noticeably extremely loose. I’ve driven 3 or 4 cars with a handbrake like that and this one by far was like a limp noodle compared to the others. I figured...

Maybe if I floor it over all those bumps whatever is wrong will get knocked back into place ;)

I ended up buying a deep 10mm socket at Home Depot today and giving it a try. It was so much looser than it was supposed to be. Honestly I had to crank the thing to the max just to get it a little tight. After a lot of trial and error (I was testing the force applied with a fishing scale….)...

Actually yes. Just tested it tonight on a nice bumpy road. Where did you find this adjustment nut?

Good question, I had to google that one since I’m relatively new to owning a vehicle and even newer to taking care of it myself. Should I just give them a little shake with my hand and see if they have give or is it more subtle than that

Thanks for the ideas, no dice on the ball hitch. As far as the spare that was my first thought but manipulating the chain myself doesn’t make the noise I’m hearing. The tire itself is pretty tightly secured on as well, last time I rotated them I made sure it was secured well. Maybe I’ll try...

Hey all, I noticed this sound a few months ago, any time I’m driving on any road that isn’t totally flat I hear some sort of clanging/clattering/metal on metal type noise. I figured it’s the leaf springs or suspension or something, I’ve attached a video where you can hear it clattering as I hit...

Welcome Clay! I’ve got the same truck but 2019. Black, XLT, SuperCrew, Sport 4x4. Just cracked 56,000. Bought in February at 48,000. Second what got3fords said I start losing my hair if I look at too many transmission posts

2023 bronco sport. Became clear quickly that it wasn’t right for my lifestyle. Wanted to sell out once I had a little equity but didn’t want to buy another new expensive car so grabbed a 19 ranger.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. As former president Bush once said- Mission Accomplished. Ended up taking 9.5 hours start to finish so quite the tiring day. Just gotta drive an additional 5 minutes through town today to unload and then another 10 to drop the trailer off and I’ll be...

Hey guys, I’ll be towing a 5’ x 8’ U-Haul storage trailer for my girlfriend on an 8 hour journey from central PA to Charlotte. I’ve never towed before. It’ll pretty much be all highways, anyone have any tips? Do I remember correctly there’s a way to make the blind spot monitor take that into...

Did my first ever oil change on any vehicle I’ve ever owned. Getting the filter out was a bit of a struggle, and I accidentally put my shoulder straight into the pan of drained oil, but overall I think it went well. Also rotated the tires

If you’re ever in the Pittsburgh area I have good things to say about Xtreme customs in Bridgeville PA. They did some work on my bronco sport before I sold it and have done work for family members of mine. They also do detailing and just did my mom’s car, she’s pretty happy with them.

Loaded up the truck with all our gear and supplied for a fishing trip with my buddies and pulled in this monster

Helped my buddy haul enough lumber to rebuild his deck

Hauled a 250 lb $1400 smoker 50 miles. Pro athlete was giving it away to my buddy who worked for the moving company he used since he’s changing to a new city with an $80,000,000 contract so didn’t seem to mind giving the smoker as a tip

Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed and informative response. The fact that the power is shutting off early and my lights flicker when auto start-stop kicks in makes me think maybe I need a new battery. Much obliged!!

The hookup with the dummy plug under the rear drivers side. It’s right next to the tire. I used the outlet kit from wolfhaus offroad

Finally decided to bite the bullet and learn some basic circuitry to install lights in the bed. Very happy with the result. However I get kinda annoyed with the AUX power shuts off after 30min, I think I heard there’s a FORSCAN setting to modify this?
