  1. Lets Talk Aftermarket Stereos

    I am wondering if you followed through and acquired this system. If so, how was the install and are you happy with the results?
  2. Unbelievable High Price for Oil Change

    Last year the dealer's rookie mechanic drained the oil without removing the skid plate. Big mess for sure. I ended up redoing the entire change in my garage using full synthetic not the blend the dealer had used. So fast forward to the recent oil change at a different dealer. Asked for the works...
  3. Hope none of you need to visit a dealership anytime soon

    I'm sure this is just a coinkydink, but yesterday my check engine light suddenly came on. Called the dealer and a harried sounding service writer just said drop it off Monday and we'll get to it when we can. Umm, thinking I will just leave it in the garage for the time being. No camping trips...
  4. 2021 Ranger - 31k miles - Head Gasket Blown

    WTF? Just another, probably, undeserved bad news for us 2021 owners. Been following this message board for years and maybe I missed this defect, but I don't know. Is what the Dealer stated about the head gaskets in the 21 rangers are built from a thin metal and known to crap out really a fact?
  5. Remembering D-Day On Its 80th Anniversary

    What a great thread. Honoring the Greatest Generation. Especially the warriors. My dad and many uncles were WW2 vets. My mom's baby brother Floyd dropped out of Creston High School in GR to join up. He was killed in France only months later. Mom grieved his death for years. Grandma was a...
  6. Buyers remorse? MPG

    Okay, I admit to not reading through all the give and take on this thread. But, I owned a RAM 2500 Cummins, bought new in 2013. I used it to tow our first 2 travel trailers (TTs). Both weighed around 7000 lbs. loaded. I remember driving a thousand miles to pick up our first new TT. That Cummins...
  7. Winter Tires for 2019 RWD Ranger XL Stx

    Hope the previous owner spent a couple hundred and got the locking rear end. How do you buy this truck and not get this option?
  8. Which WDH and/or Sway Control Bar to get?

    Don't know this for a fact but I have heard, and it makes sense, that having equal tire pressure is very important on single axle trailers. Also, as another mentioned, a rear facing camera setup is a nice add on.
  9. How big is too big?

    Just parsing though this thread and enjoying most of it. Not feeling like a weenie for towing a trailer that I believe fits my truck's abilities just pretty good. Also, did not think any one was calling out some one for towing a rig just at the recommended limit. But, now I have had my evening...
  10. Ford Ranger Sales Down

    Thought I would bump this as it relates to my earlier post. The latest stats seem to validate this thread.
  11. Slow Sales

    Okay, Okay! Just was regurgitating what I saw online. Maybe should have dove deeper? Naw, easier just to post and watch the results. Love my Ranger and hope they'll be around for a long time.
  12. Slow Sales

    Looking like the Ranger may be heading for hibernation again. Sales for the first 1/4 of 2024... over 39K for the Maverick, around 153K for the F150, and fewer than 2K for the Ranger. I don't see Ford keeping the model around with such poor sales.
  13. Mat Anchor Points on Rubber Lining

    I have the Weather Tech mats and they seem to be fine w/o the stick down pegs they came with.
  14. Long term reliability of the 2.3

    Years ago, I owned a 1989 turbo coupe. Pretty sure it was 2.3. Only drove it for year or so, then moved on to something else. I think my Ranger has more pep that the old T-bird had.
  15. Do I really need aftermarket shocks?

    I tow a smaller trailer (4000 lbs.) with my Ranger. I have owned much larger TTs and tow vehicles. I am very pleased with how the Ranger handles the towing. One thing I do regret about by latest setup is going with a Blue Ox WDH. On my previous outfits I used Fastway E2 hitches. It's a lower...
  16. Jack Reacher - Saber Ranger

    Have to go back and check out episode one now. Loved the part where he busts in the window of the creep and drags him out followed by a major whup ass. Kid in the backseat was totally enjoying it all. This guy is a good Reacher. Tom Cruise, not so much.
  17. Blown transmission 2019…

    Just slogged through this whole thread. Thank you Brandon for sharing your experience. Bad deal for you. That's clear. Now for those of us with the ESP, we have to decide if it's worth waiting 4 freekin months to get a factory defect fixed. I know for me that would be a deal breaker. I bought my...
  18. Over priced engine cover

    "I eat 6 eggs every morning and my blood tests are perfect." My blood tests have been perfect for many years. Total cholesterol less than 150, LDL and HDL and triglycerides at the optimum levels. I'm also a big fan of eggs. Then a year ago, had some chest pain and went straight to the emergency...
  19. Rust at end of bed liner. Truck only has been registered for 1.5 years

    I only have a heavy rubber bed mat. I take it out often and every time I wash my truck. Trapped moisture is the enemy. That being said, the mat has raised dimples and everywhere they touch is a small yellowish stain.
  20. Am I missing it, or is there no cabin temp reading?

    I have this indoor/outdoor monitor in my truck while I'm towing. It tells me the temp of the refrigerator in the TT. It's just a feel-good thing I do because I can. I don't recall ever paying any attention to the temp inside the truck even though it's there to see.
