It’s so hit and miss with any vehicle with your experience nowadays. I’ve been driving for 35 years now and my Ranger was in the dealership’s service department longer than all the cars I’ve own combined. I LOVED the Ranger but I got a bad one. the new Ranger I had as a loaner was very nice and...

Btw the dealership gave me new Ranger Lariat as a loaner while they did the spray in bed liner. I wanted to see how well the transmission drove compared to my old Ranger that had the CDF drum replaced. I didn’t feel any hard shifting but it does jerk when you let off the gas at times. The big...

I had my 2022 Ranger and calculated my MPG. The computer would say 19 and my calculations were 17ish. The F-150 has the 2.7L V6 and the computer is saying 19.3. Waiting to fill up and calculate it myself. I know the first 1000 miles it will be bad until the engine gets broken in. Time with tell.

The Tacos aren’t for me lol but I did test drive the Colorado , Canyon and the Frontier. I really liked the Frontier but the price of what options I wanted and what I would have to add to the truck was about the same as the F150. The Nissian dealership wouldn’t move on the price at all because...

I was able to get the F150 for 3K less than my Ranger XLT but it took most of the day negotiating the price. I was able to get free running boards and spray in bed liner to close the deal. I agree it’s bigger and I loved the Ranger but the issues I had with it was just too much. I love the fact...

That’s funny, my brother bought a Santa Cruz and my Dad bought a Ridgeline this year lol

So, I traded in my Ranger today for a F-150 STX with 2.7L. My lease was up and I was able to negotiate 11k off the MSRP and got free running boards and spray in bed liner. Even tho I didn’t post a lot, I learned tons from you guys and appreciate all the information you gave me. Thank you!

I appreciate your response. The dealership is a small and family owned. They have been great with all of this and are going to really help me get into something different. I only want a truck and the 10R80 really worries me. I’ve had 5 cars get over 200k in mileage in my lifetime and looking for...

I had the CDF replaced with the updated drum. It stopped the really hard shifting where it loses power and slams into gear but it still shifts hard from 4-5-6 gear. I had water leaking into the cab that cause mold issues. The rear vents were leaking and replaced. The AC blower was shaking at...

2022 with 28k miles but I’ve had hard shifts since I bought it. Dealership wouldn’t even look at it until the TSB came out.

My dealership is replacing the CDF drum this week. Ford bypassed replacing the valve body and reflash. I was shocked but I’ll take it. The dealership is small and has several in the shop for the CDF replacement, mine was the first that Ford told them to just replace the drum. Read into that as...

The dealership is working on the AC blower as we speak. The higher fan speeds were cause the blower motor to shake. Replacing that under the warranty and I have a loaner car. I called them today and they haven’t even started on my Ranger and have had it for a week. They are back logged with...

Love the Falken WildPeaks. Snow rated but amazing in the rain. The Hancooks were subpar in the rain.

That’s what I’m pushing for once we get there.

I’ve been having transmission issues with the Ranger for a while. Cold start and the truck feels like it goes into neutral for a few seconds then hard shifts. Feels like a sledgehammer hitting the transmission. Even when the transmission is at temp, it hard shifts with start and stop traffic. I...

I’m getting my transmission looked at on June 24 for hash shifting due to CDE drum too. I told them the truck shutters when I let off the gas and press the gas. Almost feels like a hard shift but the truck hasn’t shifted. Could that be the driveshaft?

I had the same issue at 23k miles. I heard flushing sounds in the dash when I turned the truck on. I saw the tank was 3/4 of an inch below min level. No leaks that I could see, nothing on the driveway. When I went to add coolant I noticed the cap was loose. The dealership does my oil changes and...

I have the same issue with a steep hill I drive up every day. I just hit the gas and coast the last 100 feet.

I replaced mine at 20k because they were not the best in the snow or even rain. I went with Falken Wildpeaks AT3 and huge difference in the snow.

Mine are doing the same with 23k. I’m in upstate NY and they are not good in the snow. The treads get filled with wet snow and I have trouble turning the front tires. Getting Falken Wildpeak AT3’s this week.
