No, hot zone or overheating at all and wasn’t a big deal or concern about actually overheating. I always put up the cluster view with temp gauge (lariat display) when climbing any significant grade with a load to monitor temp so I can back off if needed. This happened to be the first time I...

Good thread! I realized I dot have very many pictures of my rig, but here a few of it in places we were camping and what I had at camp. We’ve made regular use of the ranger at more places than listed in just the last 1.5+ years. - Mojave sunset from camp (Hole in the wall) - Wishon reservoir -...

For what it's worth, I finally found the upper limit for my rig after nearly 19k miles of trying. Just got back from June Lake area and I towed about 4500 pounds of travel trailer with 5 people up 395 near mammoth at nearly 8,000 ft at highway speed up the grade (5-6%?). AC on and about 90...

The color was my top pick and I don’t regret it at all. I can also vouch for the difference in appearance based on weather, but I often get complimented on it by strangers. I felt it hid the dirt better and was something different than the usual modern colors. First thing I did was black out...

Thank you, I’ll take a look at Bluetooth settings, it’s intermittent so maybe I can make a permanent setting change so it’s more permanent. Couldn’t get it to do it today, but I’ll also try the iOS update.

Having a recurring issue with music playing as voice with Apple CarPlay (flat, front speakers only, no nav prompts, etc.) instead of normal audio - anyone else have this issue and figure out how to quickly fix this? The only consistent fix I’ve found is power phone off/on which is annoying...

I never participated in a forum until I found this one while researching the Ranger and saw the helpfulness. Thanks to all for winning the good humans award on this thread. After the last two weeks of the news and experiencing a family loss a little over a week ago, the empathy, care, and...

Aside from the tailgate damper, I used plasti dip to black out my trim (couldn’t get my desired options in anything without chrome trim and hated that look). Also added a Bak Revolver X4 and tailgate seal. Was tired of traildust still getting in the back after my bed cover. Ceramic tint to...

I hear yah. Years ago, I ended up trading in my 88 Suzuki Samurai for a 02 Elantra because I needed to use it for work and 20k miles of highway driving/yr were t going to cut it in my samurai that had been perfect for beach town college living with the occasional mountain/desert romp. I do wish...

Interesting discussion on the merits of gas v. diesel tanks and indeed, there is a DOT exemption based on flash point for combustible liquids (i.e. diesel) vs. flammable liquids (gasoline) for transportation under hazmat regulations. I thought this was a good point about design when brought up...

Another vote for the Bak Revolver X4. I wanted the same as others - secure, no loss of bed usage, limited budget, US made, etc. I like how it locks using the tailgate without requiring a separate key. I was ready to buy on Amazon and the CapitalOne shopping app (formerly WikiBuy - referral link...

Hey all, new owner here and found this forum very useful to help me decide on purchasing. Anyways, was looking for extended range due to towing and was wondering if anyone had found or looked at these options for the US...
