First, I'd suggest using car-buying websites to gain a better understanding of the market for the trim level, configuration, and option list that you want. Second, if the site provides that type of filter, set your max price and mileage to see what is left to choose from. Third, check service...

You must be an extrovert. 3 people is really pushing it...

I used to sell snow plows before I sold my business and retired. We did both chassis-mount and receiver-mount plows. Right now, I'm leaning toward the SnowEx 6800LT because it's a chassis mount plow with a down-pressure feature, a motorized mount system, and it only weighs 300#. I had one on my...

I previously had a 2014 Wrangler that I used to plow my driveway in addition to being my daily driver. Then I bought a Maverick and was only using the Wrangler for plow duty, which didn't make sense since it was a low-mileage Rubicon in excellent condition that I had also used as a product demo...

I got this one for my 2020. I like the hard rollup since it gives me full access to the bed and the price can't be beat. It's a quality cover that has really impressed me over the four months I've had it.

Another friend suggested that and that was all it took. I didn't even lose my Sync configurations. Thanks for the response.

I intended to install the OBD-12V desulfator today on my 2020 Ranger Lariat. I'd watched a video on it and it seemed pretty simple. Not so much at this point. First mistake - I didn't start the truck before doing anything to establish a successful baseline. I installed the unit using the...

I bought an ESP for my pre-owned 2020 Ranger (in-service date 12/10/2020) on 12/18/2024, so just over 48 months old, from Granger. It will cover me to 74K miles and change or 5 years. The cost was $2,260.

When I was a dealer for them, they always had good customer service and warranty coverage. Try contacting them directly and be prepared to provide pictures. Keep in mind, though, that they are now part of RealTruck.com and the customer experience may have changed since 2021 when I sold my...

My wife is 4'10", so for her they are way more functional than cosmetic. At 5'10", for me, they aren't necessary getting in or out.

We used to charge shop fees at my old shop. Rags, hand cleaner, lubricants (Liquid Wrench, WD-40, etc.), all cost money and need to be replenished. There may be costs associated with disposal of used oil and the like. I think we charged $10 to cover all that, but that was 2021 and earlier before...

I had a 2022 Maverick crew cab (the only option) but found the bed too short, so I went looking for a low-mileage SuperCab and found this 2020 Lariat with 34K miles. Of course, less than a month in, I ended up with my adult son and the neighbors teenage son in the jump seats. Fortunately, they...

Let me guess. The Powertrain warranty covers the basic engine, transmission, and rear diff but not the computer modules that control them.

So the desulfator hasn't arrived yet, but I've kept the Ranger on the Battery Tender Jr. I also drove it around 30 miles on the highway today. Here are the readings after getting home. I guess the short trips around town a few times each week are tough on the battery and just keeping it on...

This is the resistance reading from yesterday. The Ranger has been on the Battery Tender for close to 24 hours. The light on the BT was solid green, so showing the battery as fully charged. Here are the results of today's test. So now my question is: "Does the desulfator I've ordered...

I'll run the test again tomorrow. I think I might have needed to arrow down on the Foxwell to see the IR value. The battery will also have been on the Battery Tender all night so we'll see how that affects the readings.

My tester arrived and I immediately tested the battery, but forgot to take a picture. The truck had been sitting overnight so it was a completely cold test. The result was actually better in some respects than what's shown below. In the first test, Volts were 11.something and the CCA was 458...

It's apparently the original battery, judging from the service records, although it could have been replaced by the previous owner at some point. I'll have to remove the cover to see if there is a date code on it. My battery tester is due to arrive today, so I can check it when I test it. I...

I should add that I got one of the plug-in voltage meters shown in the detailed posts linked above and just tested it. The truck has been sitting since last night around 9 PM, so about 19.5 hours. ACC power only showed voltage at 11.1V. With the motor running at idle, it went to 14.1V. It...

I read both of those posts. Incredible job by the authors, but I confess I'm not sure exactly how to make use of the information without Forscan. What I am doing is ordering a Foxwell BT-103 Battery Analyzer. We have five vehicles and there's only one of them that gets driven routinely, so...
