I have the Ford Performance kit and I think it's been a good kit for mild off-roading, towing I've done, and daily driving. I run the Toyo Open Country's 265/70R-17. I almost went a little larger, but had a deal on that size and liked it because I didn't need to modify anything and can run the...

First two are pretty much the exact same issues I had with my 2021 lariat at just over 50k miles and they had to rebuild the transmission because of it. I recommend having the dealer check it out while it’s still under warranty. Worst case, you eat the diagnostic and know what you’re up against...

I tow a 20’ travel trailer probably about 4000 lbs loaded and 600 lbs tongue weight. I upgraded to the Ford performance heavier overlanding suspension (Old Man Emu) and thought it was a nice improvement. I don’t use a weight distributing hitch so it squats a little bit, but much better than...

I don't think so unless the modification causes the failure like has been said. I made a change with Forscan, my transmission failed just under 60k miles, and the dealer covered under warranty. However, something did interfere with the repair and they had to reset to factory. They thought it was...

I haven’t used that brake controller (I have a Primus), but make sure to go through the manual and set it up. I had to increase the gain quite a bit to balance and sometimes need to tweak up and down. The Ranger has some driver assist settings to check out as well - anti sway, blind spot...

Glad to hear they’re both ok and echo everyone else’s sentiments. I had a minor accident with my learners permit at 15 and even the fender bender gave me a sense of vulnerability that carried into becoming a better driver. Everything happens for a reason!

I just got mine back from the shop this week. Starting having hard shifts that were getting progressively worse while I waited for my appointment. The dealer tested and found the F clutches burnt, planetary container worn, and CDF hub center bushing out of place. Luckily, it came in with 53k...

Hah, true. Before I got my Ranger I towed with my Subaru Ascent and was possibly at, or possibly over, tongue rating at some point. I was banking on a conservative tow rating because manufacturers know that people will either a) have no idea about tow capabilities or b) push the envelope. At...

Haha, why worry about fuel and stops when you can have a 37 gallon tank??? https://longrangeamerica.com/product/ford-ranger-2019-2023---37-gallon-replacement We can almost count that as a full bbl!

Stumbled across this article on the towing tests for vehicles and thought this would be interesting to folks because it’s come up before: https://explorerrvclub.com/blog/sae-tow-ratings-system/

I’ve had a Rockwood GeoPro 20BHS for about 3.5 years and been very happy with it as my first RV. We paid about $30k out the door in 2020- tax, extended warranty, maintenance package, some basic supplies. The GeoPro is the same as the e-Pro with minor cosmetic differences, like a Chevy/GMC. When...

That’s crazy. Too bad you aren’t closer, I’d give you the springs I recently took off my truck.

Selling a brand new Ford Performance Fox kit - M-18000-RA - $1,200. Never installed, new in box - I decided to go with a different lift.

Selling four wheels from a Lariat. Wheels have about 37k miles on them with some minor scratches. I plan to remove tires Friday so act fast if you are interested in the wheels with the tires. (1 tire is bad). $400

Figured I share the end result. Here is the trick with OME lift and new tires, with and without trailer. (Note- I forgot to add the front spacers, so the front could have been a smidge higher).

Ok, so to close this story - the weekend after the dealer parts manager called me and said he was going to talk to Ford corporate. It took some more waiting, but to make a long story short, Ford didn't provide the KO2s that were supposed to come with the kit, but they did provide the Toyo Open...

You’re right, some of the parts would probably work just fine on a ‘24. However, I don’t think ford will make the marketing move to sell 4 year old accessories for the 6g. It doesn’t help differentiate the “newness” they want to convey. They could prove me wrong though!

No worries, I see that side too. I appreciate the different viewpoint and it could of ended there if they hadn't strung me along. Though, it does feel a little personal now because I've had the parts while I waited for them to tell me to pick up tires (after initially saying the tires weren't...

Right. And the pictures show a difference in tires between the level 1 and 2. I had read the asterisk as “everything is Ford branded, except the tires.” They all came in Ford labeled boxes. It cracks me up because some of these parts are from 2020. With the 6G, it seems even less likely they...

Forewarning, I posted the other day deciding on buying a lift and wheels/tires because the Ranger Performance packs were for sale for less when introduced years ago. When my level 2 kit showed up, there was no tires or performance calibration. Local ford dealer tried to do right and get the...
