Ha! I like the BTTF reference (I have a DeLorean). Google "Lucas Prince of Darkness" for a good laugh on many of the UK-sourced parts that I've had to replace with their Bosch equivalents.

I think my old plug kit is a Victor, and I'm pretty sure that my plugs are a little dry. Was wondering about the other styles out there - worth it or not? I guess maybe I just go pick up another plain-old standard plug kit tomorrow to keep on the shelf in the garage, and suggest my wife leave...

Thanks. Agreed that the patch is the right way to go. I don't think I have a Discount Tire near me; at least I haven't seen one, but that's good to know. I've been using Firestone, and it's their tires (Destination LE3 on my wife's Lincoln) so I'd be inclined to keep pestering them...just I...

(Forgot to add what prompted this question was I just found yet another screw in one of her brand-new tires...when I took it out, it wasn't hissing, so fingers-crossed this one might be OK...?)

Not a Ranger-specific question, but.... My wife has a roughly 30 mile commute to work each day, driving through a bunch of streets in Queens with a bunch of construction, and in the last month, we have replaced two tires and then back to Firestone for two patches (covered thankfully under road...

I remember as a kid my aunt drove one of those - hers was light blue. The one in your photo looks pretty nice. That would be a good collector.

While I admittedly didn't look that closely at it, I'm pretty sure that I have a lead-acid battery (2022 XLT 302A). Is AGM a Lariat feature? Or do I need to look again? I had had an AGM in my DeLorean years ago because it was highly recommended by many people on many DeLorean forums. The...

Pretty truck! XLT FX4? When you say you got rid of a Maverick, did you mean the current Maverick, or its much older namesake car?

I've been spoiled by the AWD in my Patriot and MKX - they both kind of take care of themselves, and do pretty well with it in snow. This is my first manual 4WD since my old Wrangler, and I didn't care if that bound in turns or not. I do care about the Ranger, so I decided that it can stay home...

I've seen one R1T once, on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn coming off of the Verrazano Bridge. They are a sight, no doubt. From what I've read about them, Rivian seems to have done a good job on their design. I think it's still early for them though, to gauge long-term quality. I have had an...

That's a neat website you linked, at any rate. I hadn't seen that before. I just spent the last hour on that site looking at their numbers on oils and ATF I've used the past few years - good knowledge. Thank you for that!

I had the same thought as you the first time I rotated old generator gas into my MKX. I had never had a car with a capless fuel fill before that one. It worked pretty well, though I had to put a funnel in the funnel to keep from spilling. The new-ish style spouts on the red cans don't help...

Good Evening Everyone, I'm posting in the "general automotive" section since this isn't Ranger-related, and I'm hoping that some of the members of this forum have some more experience servicing boat trailers with surge brakes than I do. I guess I could have posted under the "Towing"...

Today I took the boat out of the water. I was a little hesitant; this was my first time towing with the Ranger. I had been using my wife's MKX for moving the boat twice a year, and the boat certainly exceeds its tow capacity, but it's what I had and it did the job. The Ranger did great. No...

Not a Ford issue, but I had a similar problem on a Chrysler a number of years ago. The car had the A604 transmission, and it hard-failed at about 38,000 miles, 2000 miles out of warranty. The car was towed to the dealer, and Chrysler agreed to goodwill a remanufactured transmission since it...

That's good. It should have gone right from the start. Getting a new car should be a good, even fun, experience. Too often it's just not, and that's wrong. The truck looks great!

How did it go? Did they honor the right terms?

Hi! I'm Justin, and I ordered my Ranger mainly for its towing capacity. I had been very much overtaxing my wife's MKX moving our boat around (only twice a year, and it did it fine; plenty of power; it just didn't like doing it and neither did I), and this just looked like a nice truck. Plus...

Wow. What an awful experience. I picked mine up last night (ordered Feb 10, 2022; built Aug 13, 2022; delivered Sept 8) and the dealer honored everything that we had agreed to when I placed the order. They even honored February's finance rates. It was a long wait, but they did well for me...
