People believe that installing one will extend the longevity of the engine, but, from a day-to-day perspective you would not notice a difference running one or not running one. Only the fact you have to empty it.
Welcome Jeff - great looking truck and I can see you're a man that knows what he's after. It's a great group of people here and I'm sure you'll find plenty of ways to part with your extra cash when you see some of the mods folks have got on here.
That's a great question. I looked and found this article from springtime https://www.wired.com/story/the-trans-american-race-to-build-chargers-for-electric-trucks/
Seems the infrastructure is being built right now.

Per the article it can pull a car length on a Mustang GT and hold with a Scat Pack Challenger at a drag strip! The modder says it was 99% plug-and-play. Hope you enjoy the read.
The only thing I can really think of is for you to start cold-calling Ford dealers and see if they have one sitting on their shelf for some reason. Otherwise you're kind of stuck because the issue is part availability. Would be amazing if the "dealer next town over" (if that exists for you,) has...
I thought for sure you found the Canadian price or something but, nope, it's a near $30k Mahindra right before my very eyes.
Actually, still a bargain...
"When money loses meaning."
Pure speculation on my part but I have to imagine it's because they've already (or a dealer in their network has,) successfully sold one for $175k + with hefty dealer markup of course. They are probably hoping to sell it to someone elsewhere in the country over...
Welcome Perry. Gorgeous truck and I have to say from the limited view I have in your photos it looks like a gorgeous location as well. I'm in the Mojave desert and seeing those lush green trees has me excited for my next outing north. I hope the Ranger treats you very well!
Oil change number 3. 15,000 miles and one month before my one year anny. Yowza I drive a lot! I really can't believe I'm changing the oil again already. I can't complain too much. I installed the Valvomax drain on my last change and please suffice it to say that this is the hardest, firmest...
I see you've resolved to take it to the dealership but I thought I'd answer this question to make the best of a technical forum.
Your method is the extreme method (costly and time consuming) as you'd most likely need to use brand-new oil unless you've got a pristine capture environment that you...
I am super interested in this mod. Redtek folks, could you please confirm this is the module you purchased?

If the money is going straight to the tech to motivate him then ask the Service Writer who the tech is so you can put the money right in his palm and thank him for the hard work.
I'm sorry but what a crock...
It's not helpful to hear but you're best off at another service center and/or going...
In the USA there is a company called Tuxmat: https://www.tuxmat.com/products/8532-ford-ranger-supercrew-custom-mat
The mats in the Everest look like a Philippines version of the Tux.
Bob welcome to the forum! I missed your post last week.
I too wanted a Maverick but I was too sheepish and missed the pre-order boat because I had a car that worked fine. Then when the car didn't work fine and I found myself between a rock and a hard place the dealers wanted more for a...
This is a long video, but if you have time to kill I find this guy (Rich Benoit / Rich Rebuilds,) really entertaining. He nearly gets stranded trying to drive his new Rivian home but gets bailed out by a B&B host that is willing to let him charge for free.... it takes 12 hours.
One of the...
Yep! One end is USB-C But it's at a right-angle which makes plugging into your phone while it's laying in the USB tray much more "ergonomic". The other end is USB-A for plugging into the truck. I use the shorter 1.5 foot one I linked but I also linked the longer 5 foot version. The 1.5 foot is a...
