Knowing first hand the generally lousy service FAR too many dealerships provide, and I’m not just talking Ford, I’m betting you DIDN’T get an oil change.
Best way to tell on our Rangers? Look for oil not cleaned up where it runs down the “oil filter drainage slide” or broken, missing or damaged...
Don't you just love it when you / we / me know more then "certified" technicians? And I'm not just talking this issue or even Ford. I've been "smarter" than trained(?) professionals (automotive / factory dealer) more times that I want to even count on Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Isuzu... the brands I...
I wanted another one. My first went 18 yrs 90k mi and other than tires, shocks, brakes and fluids never one problem.
Only problem is at 6’ 3” I didn’t and don’t fit in one (and a Tundra is too big). My Ford, my first ever Ford, I have little confidence in. Top build 2022 Ford LARIAT / TREMOR.
Based on LawnMM’s ideas of his (hers?) “rights” you’d think even speed limit SIGNS would be Communist.
While I would agree that installing a device (or software, etc.) to specifically limit the speed of the average commercially available vehicle is a bit overkill, you’d have to think that those...
“Here in Southern Italy, some of the local gas stations, espcially those frequented by Americans will water down the fuel for the obvious money making advantage.”
Well, yet another reason not to visit “Italy”.
I’m so sorry about this for you. Yea $2k for the tailgate (backup camera / logo maybe can be reused? But handle maybe not, damaged?) The lights themselves are? $1k each, approximately? So this is a $5k theft once it’s all said and done.
I’m in S. California, where they steal everything that...
So now not only do you need taillights but a tailgate.
I’ve installed anti tamper bolts on mine, but honestly considering a sticker that says that.
The POS thief that only has a screwdriver (and crowbar to F Up my tailgate) might look elsewhere, not having any anti tamper drivers with him...
Tell the G.M. AND FORD that what you want it a new replacement truck, because yours will never be 100% right, not after what you've explained about it. Your truck is NEW, only 3kmi on it. When you bought a NEW truck it should work 100%. Tell them you want a replacement NEW truck. Of course that...
I'm not sure what state you are in, so might not be the same for you, I'm not sure. But... you are for sure in "Lemon Law" territory. I would, because I have (the reason I'm not driving what I was, a different "brand", a truck with just 2000mi on it, anymore), used a lawyer and got the...
Did my doors the week after I bought my
LARIAT / TREMOR (Dynamat). As I was at the dealer and looking at the Ranger, and as it would turn out the truck I would end up buying, I knocked my knuckles on the door in front of the salesman and shook my head. I said, “well that will be the FIRST thing...
Wait wait…. So do I have this right? Mobil is hype, more than Amsoil????
Use an API synthetic and change it WAY before the Ford “I know more than you” computer tells you to. With the price of fuel these days an oil change is the cheapest thing you can do.
Oh man I gotta chime in on this in! Too much fun not too.
Run non synthetic, whatever you want, and change it every 3k mi.
Run a full synthetic and change it every 5k (even the “cult” of Amsoil).
Your (our) poorly engineered EcoBoost engine will, or will not last the same amount of miles /...
Exactly.
Whine away, because if you have this or any of the other problems that are seemingly common and don’t, well you’ve got more money than me.
if I buy a 40? 50? Thousand dollar truck I sure as hell expect it to NOT have ANY problems. Ford built it, a Ford dealer sold it and they both...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. EVERY TIME I press the ignition start button, yes I’ve got one of those!, on my 2022 LARIAT/TREMOR with just over 5k mi now, I hold my breath.
I come to Ford / Ford Ranger from another brand that had problems from day one that required a lawyer and...
I’m just gonna put it out there, ask it.
Why?
With this forms threads mostly referencing the seemingly far too many problems with this truck, even thinking about something like this seems ludicrous.
