That is great news considering you had posted earlier that Ford as a company performed below average: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/ford-ranked-below-average-in-2023-u-s-initial-quality-study.25583/#post-586148 Speaks very well to the Ranger as a product.

Reading between the lines I'd say they are engineers that serve no purpose to an EV company.

You think we have short memories, David, I remember you bought a breaker bar that would make Wilt Chamberlain blush. ?

Welcome to the forum Brandon! Gorgeous truck - and awesome thread. I'm also liking the simple Diode Dynamics 3rd brake bulb change. I've added them to my wish list.

If you're not having any issues yet and you want to do this just for the peace of mind; then no I don't think it's a good use of money. I cannot fathom you even breaking even on the transmission upgrade unless you're going to become personally invested long term in finding a buyer for it that is...

Just a simple job over the weekend, though, a simple job means I got ton include my son which is always fun. We installed the Redline hood damper struts - for the same reason I installed a damper on the tailgate - to protect his little noggin. He loves to get up in there with me and when he was...

@Frenchy It startled the sand out of him, naturally.

Unfortunately all I can say is you'll have to try and recreate it on your favorite local "testing street." Some anecdotal evidence for you; Every working day I drive home in what would be considered heavy, but flowing city traffic. I get into the situation you're describing constantly, and I've...

If I were a betting man - in the same way the Maverick is on the C2 platform like the Escape, Bronco Sport. I'll bet this new truck will be on The same platform as the Renegade and Compass.

@D Fresh - I didn't know that! Very interesting. You're talking about the Dodge 700? (I had to google it.)

@subquark That looks like a really great unit for someone that already has purchased all of the aftermarket hoses, guns, nozzles, undercarriage attachments, home gutter attachments, window attachments, garbage can washer, dog & cat sprayer, personal shower wash nozzle, (yes I'm teasing you.)

I mean... hooray for more small trucks. Hooray for competition. Good on Dodge for bringing a sorely needed product to market. Unless... they mark them up to $40,000 like Mavericks and then it is not a sorely needed product. A sorely needed product is a nice little truck for $25,000 with decent...

@AzScorpion your squirrel story had me in stitches. Reminds me of my many trips to Zion NP and their famous squirrel signs "DO NOT! Feed Squirrels, they are dangerous!" Meanwhile the trails are littered with these dudes "Ehhhh.. *Burp* You can jus' set that down right here sweetheart I wouldn...

Glad you're alright Todd. Really and truly what is going on with these Ranger rear-end accidents? Maybe the Sonata driver thought you were a cloud because your bed is so high? Hope the repair shop does good work and gets you on the road quickly.

Hey I'll tell you if I did something like this, (which I would,) none of you would ever know about it. Thanks for posting a learning moment for us.

@Synfulz in the words of my wise forefathers "...if only you could skip the Starbucks lattes..." How many 2 hour massages would you have to skip to make this trade? Main difference between "yours" and "ours" is the engine is a 2.0 Bi-turbo Diesel, correct?

I'm just spitballing here to try and help; have you tried pushing the key as well as pulling the key while you twist it? You may need to put the tumbler in a vice or something so you can get some better leverage in your "wiggling action." Would be a shame to cut it...

WOW! My guess is if it's 100% the cottony tree pollen then it may very well be just from pollen shedding season. I agree - rodents are usually not dedicated to one material. No poop? No hair? No food scraps? Seems unusual for Mickey Mouse.

You're doing a great job documenting the trip Dave. You've certainly put the Tetons on my radar quickly. Looks like a really fun time. Does Annie hike with a compression sleeve on her knee? If not...

@Icemanhd This is 100% speculation on my part; My guess is Ford tests new engines with all sorts of oil types and weights on a engine dyno and run them for xxx,xxx hours. Before the engine is even built the engineers have a list of goals for the engine that it must achieve to be considered for...
