Well that was a bit of a surprise. I pulled off a stock 16" steel wheel with the 255/70/16 tire and did a test fit of the 17" XLT alloys with 255/65/17 tires I bought yesterday. Dang, forgot to take a pic down the side of truck to see if the 17" wheel stick out any further (extra drag) than the...
Just weighed 2019 XLT alloys (17x8, part #KB3C-1007-KT) with lightly used (25k) Bridgestone dueler A/T RH-S 255/65R17s 58.2 lbs for the wheel and tire. My Ranger is a 2023 XL with the 16x7 steel wheel that has Bridgestone Dueler 255/70R16s, my guess is they come in at 45 lbs or under for the...
Good input from all, Summit Racing had the Zee Dee step for $71 (like $20 cheaper than everyone else) so I ordered one along with a K&N filter to get over $100 for free shipping. 3 days after I got the truck I ended up picking up 475 lbs of freight that was supposed to be delivered to the house...
Wow, never thought I would see such a spirited response. Just to clear the air I never owned a Frontier and have been on the Forum ever since ordering my Ranger back in August 2022.
I'm just over 6 feet tall, when someone 1st mentioned the step I thought they were talking about to get into the...
No worries getting in and out of it at all, just seems like the back end has airshocks that are at 120 psi. Wonder if a higher trim level (XLT or Lariat) has the small steps in the corners of the rear bumpers like on other trucks.
Full disclosure, my previous truck was a 2015 Tacoma so perhaps I'm still getting used to the 23 Ranger XL I got last week. The suspension on the base XL with stock wheels/tires seems awful tall, significant amount of room between the top of the tires and the bottom of the fenderwells. Wonder if...
Door sticker on my 2023 Ranger XL that just delivered is 35 psi and it was at 39 when I picked it up. I took it down to 37 psi... I got 25.3 mpg on my 1st 2/3 of a tank mostly freeway and driving like a grandma since i was checking mpg. If I remember correctly the ECU learns after a few tanks...
Updates, FINALLY got the 23 Ranger XL last friday. I soaked and washed the seat covers per the instructions and put them on today. they are supposed to settle in and conform better over time but so far I'm not thrilled with them so far. On the upside they feel very durable, almost canvas or...
I found them via online search right after I submitted the thread above, sure enough identical plan the dealer is offering me "at a loss" for $1504 is $740 with up to $50 off for paying by echeck and no rush to decide you have like a year to make your mind up. I'm still leaning against it even...
Finally done, 2 hrs and 45 mins at the "stealership" yesterday afternoon and the 5.5 month process is over. Thanks to everyone on the forum, I learned some great info here. A few comments and 1 question below
Sure enough, dealer went right to sticker price ($1,000 higher than the order invoice...
5 1/2 months into the process (ordered 8/10) the most frustrating part so far is the railcar that contains my Ranger made it to its final location to unload the truck 2 weeks ago and its still sitting there 1 hour away from the dealer waiting for a semi trailer to load it up to take it to local...
Looks like Ford will shut the 2023 Ranger order books next week on Jan 26th. I assume thats to retool for the next gen 2024 model, apparently they learned a lesson from the Maverick disaster and if you put a 2023 Ranger order in and they don't get to it before they shut the line down you are on...
OrlandoJay23 for chat you go to https://www.ford.com/support/ and after a few seconds a chat window should pop up in the bottom right corner. You will need your VIN (if you have it).
I have been calling the the CSX "touch tone" line to get status of the railcar that has my Ranger in it daily. I mean cmon its 2023, you have to call and punch in a bunch of #s to find where your railcar is as opposed to getting a status from an internet site? Reminds me of the 90s when I would...
RedlandRanger you are correct about things speeding once the train clears the upper midwest and Rockies. The train with my Aug 10th Ranger XL order made it to Wadena Minnesota yesterday morning and has been making great time ever since. Currently just past Glasgow, MT in Tampico so its making...
Strange, I ordered a 6 foot "high impact" bed/tailgate liner from Ford in Dec when they had the 20% off special. It arrived in a 5 x 1.5 x 1.5 box and had a hole in the box, and when I finally opened the box found the liner had a hole poked through it. Tried repeatedly with Ford accessories to...
