I see a lot of posts where people are saying 19 mpg in their Rangers? ⛽ Our average in over 17,000 miles is 25+ mpg in our FX4....

Ditto.. 2019 SupeCab FX4. No complaints with ride quality. But then again, I've driven 4x4 midsized trucks since the 1990's.

A good friend of mine had an S-10 Blazer, 2 door, his daily driver. He had a Ford 8N tractor sitting on a trailer, and he hooked the trailer to his Blazer. The trailer did not have brakes. Down the road he goes. He forgot to latch the trailer to the ball on the hitch, but he did hook up the...

And that advice right there ^^^^ is wisdom. A smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the trials and tribulations of others. Like the paint on your truck? Do everything within reason to not drive with the tailgate down on unpaved roads..

Bad hemi mpg all the time...... that's a positive? You must be a marketing guy. ;)

SuperCab

One thing to keep in mind regarding crash bars, a stronger design may not mean a better design. You want the materials to absorb as much of the energy from a crash as possible. If your super strong crash bar snaps off the bracketry that's holding it, that is not a better design. There's no...

It was only a day old when I took the photo's.... you know what they say.. a picture takes off 2 years. :giggle:

I can't imagine how you'd be happy with a Ranger. I'm 6' 1" tall and when I'm driving our SuperCab, 80% of the time my right leg is leaning on the console. But I've always driven midsized trucks that were "form fitting". Are you considering a SuperCrew? Doors are smaller than our SuperCab...

40... you youngster you. ? The 4 x 8 sheet ref. is merely an analogy... something many truck owners use as a reference for bed size. Every seen or heard of a Chevy Longhorn... with a 9 foot bed?

@yyyames we truly love our 2019 Ranger FX4 SuperCab. 17,000 trouble free miles, averaging about 27 mpg, we've hauled 1,200 lbs of lumber in the bed numerous times, towed with it and it's awesome. Check out the link in my signature to our build thread, more details there. It does, it's a...

2 year old tires...

Depends on if the lift kit had shims to correct the pinion angle. If yes, probably ok without the CV joint. But there's limits to that, as it can be a long term issue due to internal lubrication level in the rear differential.

I'm wondering... Ford lifted the Tremor, and changed from a u-joint to a cv joint... so for those that lifted their trucks.... is a cv joint needed?

Maybe a 2WD vs 4WD thing. Our FX4 has the locking rear.

More weird shit from Ford. The face on the rear flange is painted on our 2019...

The thin red line around the wheel edge is so retro cool. Love it.

Let's not get hung up on semantics.... It shifts based on input from the driver. Skipping gears if you're more aggressive, not skipping gears if you are less aggressive. Therefore it shifts differently based on who is driving. That's why some folks say it learns your driving style....

Agreed. It's purpose is to protect the components that it is covered from being "Bashed" (Hence the name bash plate). Any reasonable person would know that a 2,000 lb force bashing into a localized area of a piece of sheet gauge steel will in fact dent the steel. But that sheet gauge...
