So if excessive cylinder head temperatures are an issue, increasing the cooling capabilities won't help, but a lower thermostat will? That makes no sense. That summit article is exactly why you shouldn't run a colder thermostat and the other one has nothing with the Ranger as we use regular old...

On the off chance that Ford does offer the 2.7l in the Ranger it'd likely either be a top trim level option, or a specialty line (raptor, sport, tremor, shelby, etc). Along with it, probably a $40K+ starting price. Being able to spec an XL, or XLT ranger with a 2.7l probably is not going to happen.

Bed covers typically reduce or have no effect on fuel economy. Haven't seen any data on bed caps.

A colder tstat isn't going to increase the cooling capacity of your truck. Its not going to do anything to extend your engine life. You're far more likely to run into issues not getting up to proper operating temp than you are to see benefits opening the thermostat 20* lower.

Those plugs are not carbon fouled, not even a little.

My 2020 XL STX didn't have them.

This is why performance tunes call for higher octane. If your cylinder head temperatures are too high then your coolant temps are too high. The fan is going to be fully engaged and the thermostat is going to be wide open whether it opened at 170* or 190*. A colder t-stat isn't going to offer any...

"Cooler motors make more power!" The car myth that refuses to die.

4 to 3 ohm nominal impedance change isn't that significant. The stock amp should be fine handling that load, if the stock drivers are 4 ohms.

Mutli-ply, woven fabric reinforced silicone pipes are not going to grow from a couple of pounds of air pressure, unless they have been seriously degraded or have prolonged exposure to oil.

What would make you think that the factory piping was swelling?

You best bet would be to monitor your IATs with the stock charge cooler to see if intake temps are even getting that hot. I planned on getting an aftermarket intercooler before I even purchased the truck, mainly for towing. I hooked up my trailer and it turns out that temps stayed within 10-15*...

Airing up bags to lift the rear would take tension off of the spring bars, negating some to all of the effect of the WDH. If you did use both you'd want to adjust the bags first, then adjust the WDH. You'd have to find the balance, as you don't want to take too much weight off the drive axles.

Ford doesn't require WDH at all on the ranger up to full tongue weight. There's a video of one of the engineers explicitly stating this. Honestly, not a lot of great options given your description. Leveling a truck you plan on towing heavy with is just not ideal. The rear sag isn't the real...

Have a set of 2020 silver STX package wheels up for sale. Wheel, tires and factory TPMS sensors included. Less than 3500 miles on them. No plugs or patches. Selling for $200 firm for the set(for now will update if selling separate) local pickup from 73505. Will deliver up to a 3 hour drive...

I ended up replacing the factory amp to get rid of the noise. I noticed it from the first test drive. Didn't bother me until I installed subs. None of the Forscan patches worked for me.

Payload is in the driver door jamb. 1848lb for my 2wd xl supercab.
