We had a great time in the U.P. with our Ranger pulling our Winnebago. Stayed a few days at Union Bay at the Porkies, hiked some by the Lake of the Clouds, then went over to Muskellunge Lake S.P. for a week so we could take in the sights on the east side of the U.P. 13,000 on the truck now and...

Changed mine today. Computer said 48% remaining but just completed 5000 mile tow with lots of mountains and we're heading out for 10 days of UP leaf peeping. So it was time. Mobile one full synthetic and Motorcraft FL-910-S filter.

Not to not answer your question. BUT... I bought a lock for my hitch a few years ago. After leaving my hitch (weight distributing, btw) on the truck, I got tired of smashing my shins against it and getting grease on my pants. So mine after years is still in very good condition. Not sure if I...

Not to hijack, but I have a FordPass question also. I have had a Ford credit card for awhile now and I don't think it's linked to my FordPass account. Seems like I may actually have two account numbers. Is there a way to get these connected that any of you know of?

As an XL owner, I hate the tiny display screen. As a travel trailer tower, I love the power, smooth shifting 10 speed, and relative comfort that allows me to go 500-600 miles a day. Oh yeah... 18 gallon tank could be 10 gallons larger.

One of the most enjoyable videos I have seen recently was a guy catching a cat convert thief under his truck and just wailing on him with a baseball bat as he was just firing up his sawsall. Very rewarding. Love that instant justice. The creep escaped with lots of pain but left his thief kit...

Decided to save the Colorado stops for another swoop. Instead we deadheaded straight home from Reno. That turned out to be no fun at all. First day was fine then the 60 mph crosswinds of Wyoming had us sitting in a rest area for over 12 hours. We racked up 5200 miles on the trip. Averaged 12...

Well, as you can see, I'm not good at posting images. So how to delete the duplicates? Sorry for the extras.

We have completed our Idaho and Crater Lake segments. Idaho was great, as usual, but the smoke in the air wrecked the photo ops. Still wonderful country and nice folks. The Crater Lake experience was beautiful. We camped at the park so we got the most out of our short stay. The lake is the star...

Wow, that is gruesome to look at. Sorta like a compound fracture... just un-natural. Hope you get some relief. I will be keeping an eye on mine, for sure.

On flat ground and being very careful to stay non-turbo and w/o wind, I can tease 30 mpg out of it. Won't do that again. Everyday mixed driving is around 20 mpg. Towing our TT averages 11 mpg. Pretty much done with checking it at this point. However, I did adjust my computer to be very close to...

Not a "mod" necessarily, but glad I learned about a great deal on an extended warranty. Also, I won't say the term but I did opt for tailgate assist.

Our previous TT setup was a RAM 2500 4x4 Cummins pulling a 30 foot Flagstaff TT. It would sway when passed by a big truck. Our current setup is much smaller and will sway somewhat less when passed by a big truck. I try to be aware of when we are to be overtaken by a big rig, especially if he's...

The answer to your question(s) is "It depends". Our TT weighs in at 3650 and pulls like a dream behind our Ranger. As for mileage, we've had as good as 14 and as low as 8-9. Seems like the biggest influence, besides mph, is wind and its direction. I don't believe weight is a biggie. Within...

Saw this on my early morning walk through the RV park. Someone is showing some love for their 4th gen Ranger. XLT 4x4 in very nice condition. Should last a good long time being treated this way.

Yes, the selection of fuel up here is not great. Nebraska is big on ethanol (corn) and as we went on was able to find only one station selling 91 octane w/o it. $5/ gallon... I filled up. So far I have found 91 octane available for about a 50 cent premium. Worth it when towing. heading to...

We headed out from Kansas City Tuesday and made it to Ogallala Nebraska. About 475 miles. Mileage was great at hand calc. 13.5. Checked oil first thing in the morning and it was exactly where it was when we left. Next stop was in Buffalo, Wyoming. Another almost 500 mile day. Both days saw a lot...

I don't see much true off-roading in my future but there will be some two track adventures. She sits nice and high and at twenty feet can get around a pretty tight curve. The clearance at the axles is just over 12 inches. Weighs in at 3650 fully loaded and is fully self-contained including 100...

Quoting drcollie, the OP: " Ranger oil changes are somewhat miserable due to the location of that oil filter design." I have not done one yet. The first one came on a trip at a Fast Lane in Phoenix using points. Now that I'm settling into a 5K change schedule ( lots of towing), I will be...

Thank you for sharing your story. Tough lesson for sure. I know I will be sticking to the OEM when I do my own changes. I'm wondering if the dealer will do the long block or short block when they put it back together. Also, does this type of major calamity show up in a Carfax report?
