  1. WeatherTech???

    I always go with Weathertech floor mats in my vehicles, My Ranger has no carpet. The ordering for the floor mats questioned whether my Ranger had carpet and came with stick down posts to hold them in place. I installed them w/o the stick down posts and I am happy to say the mats are staying in...
  2. How much does travel trailer width affect towing?

    We tow a Winnebago Micro Minnie. Nice thing about its seven foot width is that the Ranger factory mirrors are sufficient when teamed with a rear looking camera system on the back of the trailer.
  3. 2023 Ranger review

    To me, that rectangular LED outlining the headlights is very 2021-ish. Not a good look. I wonder if an integrated trailer brake controller will be offered.
  4. What did you let go to get your Ranger?

    I gave up my 2001 Silverado 2500 4x4 with the 8.1 liter (10mpg) engine. Happy to report that my Ranger pulls my Minnie Winnie TT just as good. RT from KC to Phoenix recently and the Ranger handled the grades just fine.
  5. Just ordered seat covers- now we wait...

    Just ordered these. There is a 20% Mother's Day discount until May 11.
  6. Least amount of miles driven...

    When depreciation, insurance, taxes, oil changes and fuel are considered, I wonder what the cost/mile for this Ranger fan is. I'm betting that is another "record" he can claim. That new car smell thing must be truly intoxicating. Mine is at 4300 miles or so after 3 months. I love driving it...
  7. Support group for those waiting for their Ranger MY22

    Just a FYI ... I ordered a 2021 in August, 2021. Waited and then in October got switched to a 2022 by FMC. Then, in January, after much waiting, found a 2021 nearby that was coming in soon. It was better equipped than what I had ordered for not much more. So I made the deal. Last week I was...
  8. Trouble adding gas from gas can to my Ranger

    Alrighty, found the funnel nicely stored under the jack in the rear cubby. No mast in the GC but I had already bought one of those. Thanks again for the help and advice and wittiness. Mike
  9. Trouble adding gas from gas can to my Ranger

    Thank you, Joe, Yes, I did take a peek inside the owner's manual before looking this morning. Still no luck. Did find a NAPA store in Mesa open today that may have one that works. I appreciate all the helpful, non-judgmental advice doled out here. Really.
  10. Trouble adding gas from gas can to my Ranger

    Welp, I have to confess to mostly never reading an owner's manual, especially for a motor vehicle. Dumb or stubborn, don't know. BTW... I hate to ask for directions, too. My 2013 RAM only came with a DVD manual and I sure didn't go through that. Thankfully, it did come with a printed diesel...
  11. Towing Gas Mileage

    Just finished a run to Phoenix from Kansas City and got 10.9 mpg. Very strong headwinds for much of the drive. Our travel trailer is a 20 foot Winnebago weighing 3500 pounds.
  12. Trouble adding gas from gas can to my Ranger

    So, we are on our first big adventure with our new Ranger towing our Minnie Winnie TT. Kansas City to Phoeniz and return. To help with the small tank issue I brought along the 6 gallon tank from my fishing boat and the battery transfer pump I use to empty mowers, etc. at the end of the year...
  13. Support group for those waiting for their Ranger MY22

    How to say you have a sucky dealer w/o saying you have a sucky dealer... "Of course they had forgotten to put it on" You, my friend, are way more patient than I could be. I hope you get some consideration from this dealer. Like 10 oil changes or???
  14. Towing Pontoon on interstate

    Of course, you will have along with the spare tire a way to jack the trailer up together with a proper sized lug wrench. I agree with all the others who recommended staying on the interstate. Just keep to the right and take it easy. You will have a ball this summer with the pontoon. best regards
  15. Hood Struts

    Something else that's also gone the way of the dinos is a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid level and or smell and color. I have a 2013 Chevy that developed a small seep around the tranny and the "Service Advisor" advised me to " just keep checking the fluid level " Later on I was...
  16. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    New owner here. What does adding this device do to the Ford warranty? Probably will do most of my oil changes but sooner or later it will be in a Ford shop. Just wondering.
  17. Support group for those waiting for their Ranger MY22

    Our March 7th date just got bumped to March 21. Glad I finally found a new 2021 on a lot nearby.
  18. My long winded one year review of 5th Gen Ranger ownership

    Regarding the auto start/stop. Bought a new Malibu in 2012 (2013 model) it's the ECO model and has this feature. 95K miles on it now and mostly in-town miles with many thousands of start/stop cycles. No way to disable the feature that I know of but I can say that there's been no issues of any...
  19. FULL AEB ACTIVATION?

    Good question. I'll be watching this. I'm turning mine off when I tow my travel trailer.
