  1. Crowd-sourced Trailer Brake Controller's List for 2019 Ford Ranger

    Draw Tite ICommand. A local hitch shop (Lampert Hitch) that is well regarded in the region and that I have used a few times in the past strongly recommended this TBC. I went with their advice and installation, $243 total. I don't use cruise control while towing, and my XLT doesn't have ACC...
  2. How far are we from a full electric and/or hybrid Ranger?

    The Ranger is the best selling pick-up in Europe, FoMoCo has committed to being fully electric in Europe by 2026. That's my best guess.
  3. Why the level? Why the rake?

    It's not wrong at all. That's the beauty of it, each person can do whatever they want for whatever reason. I suspect that is the primary consideration for most people. Any benefit to performance, actual or perceived, provides additional rationale for the decision. I do like the level look...
  4. Why the level? Why the rake?

    Thanks for all the replies! Some reasons were expected but a few new things in there that I had not considered. It’s remarkable how versatile a good truck can be and always interesting to see what folks will do to maximize whatever it is they are in to.
  5. Why the level? Why the rake?

    Why are you leveling? Is it purely for cosmetic reasons or is there a performance benefit? While we’re at it, why is there such a pronounced raked to begin with? What is Ford’s reasoning behind it? Tow capacity?
  6. Ranger to Frontier?

    I loved my 2012 Frontier! It did everything I wanted and never failed to get me back home. Lots of little details exceed what I have in the new Ranger. I have heard that some of the newer models were not so great. That new one does look pretty sharp, wish it had more tow capacity.
  7. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    I agree with you as well. Just feel a little sorry for the guys in the Mustang when they find out the real name of the color is Cactus Gray! ?
  8. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    I agree. There is definitely a green tint to it. Still not what I picture as “fighter jet”.
  9. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    And to top it off, the dealer provided temporary tag shows the color as "Light Green". Not.
  10. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    So the Ford marketing guys decided that "Cactus Gray" would appeal to the demograhic that buys Rangers and that "Fighter Jet Gray" appeals more to the demographic that buys the Pony.
  11. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    Thanks, Doug. Pretty much my thinking as well. It looks awful nice on that Mustang!
  12. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    Just a small amount right now, but I anticipate needing some in the future as well. Swinging by the dealer is not very convenient for me.
  13. Cactus Gray vs. Fighter Jet Gray - Touch up paint

    Put a nice little chip on the passenger side rear door with the latch hardware on my gate. Saw on this site someone recommending "drcolorchip.com" for touch up paint. On their website the appropriate color choice for my truck says "Fighter Jet Gray/Cactus Gray" (color code NE/M7457). "NE" is the...
  14. A couple of mud flap questions

    I thanked the wrong person for the video. Thanks, Andrew in Pocatello, from Andrew in Denver.
  15. A couple of mud flap questions

    I have a set on order as well. All black. Thanks for the video, that will be helpful!
  16. 2021 Tremor Off-Road Pkg. Includes Rear Tow Hooks

    Tremor Package does include them, but they get removed with the Tow Package. Who has Tremor without Tow? I don’t.
  17. Mileage When Ordered Truck Arrived

    Like a few others have said, I didn’t order mine, but it was in transit to the dealer when I bought it. 9 miles.
  18. Tow Report

    We pulled our ’09 Coleman E1 pop-up trailer (GVWR: 3500 lbs) from Denver, CO to Buena Vista along US HWY 285. There are a couple of passes along the way, but nothing very long or steep. Pretty easy drive as far as Colorado mountains go. Towing with a ’21 Ranger XLT (Tremor, Tow Package)...
  19. Where did you take your Ranger over the long weekend?

    It's an '09 Coleman Evolution 1 (E1). And yes, designed for off-road. It's been great for us but is starting to have some roof/lift system issues and we have a new "hybrid" camper on order. Putting this one up for sale soon.
  20. Where did you take your Ranger over the long weekend?

    On holiday weekends we like to camp on our friends property near Buena Vista, CO. We avoid the crowds but have easy access to fishing, off-roading, and Eddy Line Brewery!
