  1. Tire recommendation for towing

    I would agree that an LT would improve your stability. Like to hear a recommendation from discount tire but on my previous HD truck they were 10 ply and could run up to 80 PSI, and were super stable towing 12k trailer. Stock tires are 4 ply?
  2. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works and How to Properly Charge Your Battery!

    That charger should work fine, may want to consider one that allows quick connection without opening the hood. If you get Forscan working I would leave BMS working and just up the target %.
  3. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works and How to Properly Charge Your Battery!

    I don't believe that screen is available in Forscan but I could be wrong. I installed a volt meter so I can monitor voltage and see what works. You have to be quick because as soon as you get near the Ranger every light and system come alive and the voltage starts dropping. Before upping the...
  4. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    I'm an old guy in skate shoes, so no idea how I should park.
  5. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    Yes my old company's defensive driving required pull through parking and if not available back in. People tend to be more aware of their surroundings when arriving than when leaving.
  6. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works and How to Properly Charge Your Battery!

    Yes agreed, not driving a lot is made much worse by having the system only charge the battery to just barely above sleep mode voltage. Even if it is driven a hundred miles a day, the battery life will be shortened due to chronic under charge.
  7. Oil filter relocation

    Whatever i work on on the Ranger I seem to run into those clips. Since I either break them or they fly away, I bought some spares. https://a.co/d/izmzZ89
  8. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    I like the look of that! Assuming it blocks the ACC radar?
  9. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Installed the perimeter plus alarm module and led.
  10. Ford Perimeter Plus Alarm system

    Installed mine today, put the led in the center of the dash for best visibility. Mounted the control unit under the dash panel for ease of sensitivity adjustment. Simple install, works great.
  11. FORScan Modifications

    The functions are shown in this forum. Not sure there is a spreadsheet. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/forscan-crowdsourced-wiki.2008/
  12. Adaptive cruise control... I love you.

    I do love the ACC, think it depends on the traffic load and level of freeways. The freeways in NM have heavy truck traffic and are mostly 2 lane so easy to get trapped and the ACC works well so you don't have to cancel and resume.
  13. Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

    It's on the north side of the airport in the industrial park where they took out the runway.
  14. AGM battery reliability

    We've gone around the full discussion again but here is the reason the BMS is killing the batteries. From the link @Dereku posted above.
  15. Front Bumper Sensor Size

    Couldn't get one out, next step was breaking it. Closest measurement I got was 1.25 inch.
  16. Front Bumper Sensor Size

    Let me see if I can pop one out
  17. Front Bumper Sensor Size

    You need the size of the hole?
  18. Why did you pick the Ranger over the Tacoma?

    Knew I wanted a Ranger after seeing them in the UK in 2017. After driving one this year I was sold. Don't like the look of the Toyota or Nissan so never considered them.
  19. Negotiation on a '22 XLT 301A on dealer lot.

    I agree you should hold to what you want to pay. Start lower than your goal by starting high on what you want for the trade. When the come back with the counter if it's not right stand up to leave and say let me think about it. Their response will tell you how serious they are to sell. In...
  20. Shadow Black

    Yes the battery is a common issue, charging system doesn't keep it fully charged. Search battery forums and you will see the recommendations.
