Once you start, it never stopsā¦
I did the Ford/Fox 2.0 leveling kit,
Icon rear spring packs, stock 17ā wheels with Falken 275/70- 17 tires.
also replaced rear driveline with a one-piece.
Performance-wise, I installed the Ford performance tune, cold air intake and bigmouth air portal to air...
I put the Icon rear leafs on mine, after a Fox 2.0 leveling kit. They fit perfectly.
what you want to keep in mind is when you lift the rear, you get feedback from the driveline. The next thing to do after monkeying with the rear suspension is to get a 1-piece rear driveline.
I traded a ā13 King Ranch f-150 for a 2020 Ranger XLT sport.
it tows better than the 150 did, itās comfortable and nimble.

Falken wild peak 275-70/17.
AFE cold air intake
AFE wide mouth
60,000 miles, standard maintenance.
Iāve used Costcoās Kirkland brand 5/30 full synthetic for 55k miles. That, and K&N oil filters.
If the previous owner used regular oil, stay with that. The seals and gaskets will last longer. If they used Synthetic, you should too.
congratulations on your purchase- great little truck!
I have 56,000 miles on my 2020 Ranger.
No problems.
I occasionally tow about 5k, no issues other than poor mileage.
Itās got the Ford performance tune, Ford/Fox 2.0 leveling kit, AFE intake.
Treat it like a midsize truck, and itāll be fine.
treat it like a race car or a big-boy truck, expect...
Thatās phenomenal mileage.
On a 10% grade to boot!
mine drops in to single digits when Iām pulling my Side x Side on the steep hills here in Northern Nevada. Thereās no lack of power, especially since installing the Ford Performance tune, but the mileage sucks.
If you treat it like a small displacement 4 cyl, and do routine maintenance, it will be fine.
The fuel in the oil is due to direct injection. 4500-5000 mile intervals for oil changes is a good start. Donāt go by the āoil lifeā info- youāll ruin your engine.
I have 53k on mine, and no problems...
Yep, towing in mountains (northern Nevada) single-digit mileage is a thing. Absolutely no lack of power- but it comes at a cost.
Still- I love my Ranger.
Itās not always about if you can pull it, but can you stop it?
our little rigs tow quite a lot for their size. If you need to pull heavier, you really should upsize.
not a good idea.
Buy a larger truck.
These are great rigs for daily driving and occasional towing.
not sure about otherās...
Go to the dealership you purchased it from, and ask to speak to the G.M. Explain the issue, and request the telephone number of the Ford Appeals Board. Donāt leave until you have the number.
Then, Call the Board. Theyāll shake the tree.
Love mine. 50k miles, third set of tires.
It does everything my king ranch f-150 did, and drives nicer.
All rides have their flaws. I corrected the things that needed correction, and Iāll keep doing the same.
if you treat it like a pickup, not a UTV or Dragtser, itāll probably be fine.
