I managed to keep my 2019 Ranger absolutely scratch and ding free for over 2 years. Until now. Long story but I ended up catching a low hanging tree branch backing up. The collision smashed the passenger side taillight housing. It also pushed in /creased the very small area of sheet metal...

When my engine/transmission are cold first thing in the morning I always start down the street a bit slow to let things warm up gently. The very very first up shift of the day is a bit hard and could be described as a jolt. It's very predictable. Happens at almost the exact same spot on the road...

Thanks guys. I figured this to be the case but just wanted to make sure. I'm not an off roader but it seems it would be common to have to make super tight turns while in 4x4 mode. . I suppose if you're out in the middle of nowhere on a trail you do what you need to and if the truck takes a...

Hello all. I don't have much experience with 4 x 4. We got several inches of heavy wet snow last night. I was in a parking lot and made a fairly sharp turn. My steering wheel was not "pegged" to the limit but close. I had 4 x 4 H engaged. With the wheel turned sharply the truck "bucked" or...

Avanti - In my experience oil creeping up the stick is common not only in my Ranger but just about every engine large or small. I don't know if it "splashes" up there or is due to capillary action because you have small space between the dipstick and the tube it fits in. It's nothing you're...

If I understand your issue correctly I had this happen several times with my 2013 Escape with the previous generation/small screen Sync and twice on my 2019 Ranger with the big touch screen Sync. My instances were very sporadic however. On the Escape it would happen every few months or more...

Thank you Washashore! The link to the module/part is very helpful. I can send that to my dealership and at least confirm it is still current and available and they can work with it. The service tech I originally spoke with mentioned using lock/unlock sequences and such so he may have been...

I found some older threads that somewhat address this topic but want to see if anything more has been learned now that the new Ranger has been out for a while. When I bought my 2019 XLT it did not have the factory installed remote start option on the key fobs. I was thrilled to learn I could...

Thanks for the replies. I read other information that also suggests simply swapping the tweeters can make a big improvement. It also appears popping off the plastic cover housing the tweeters is very easy. Maybe I'll start with that. I'm still hesitant to pop off my door panels. I'm really fussy...

I'm considering doing a speaker upgrade on my XLT Crew Cab. It has the standard 6 speaker set up - tweeters high in the front and 6.75" (I assume) woofers in the front and rear doors. Being an XLT I have the large touch screen media center. I used to know my way around stereo systems back in the...

Will do Phil. I'm on the list to take it in anyway for the blower motor recall. Might as well have them check out the tailgate at the same time. To IdahoRanger's question I don't know how the latch/lock mechanism is designed on the Ranger. I'm hoping to find a parts schematic or such online to...

Last night I got home from golf. Went to pop the tailgate to get my clubs out. Pulled the latch handle and it wouldn't open. Gave the gate a good tug on the top edge in case the gate was just binding. Wouldn't budge. I cycled the locks several times from my key fob - wouldn't budge. Cycled the...

The past few weeks I had a rather loud, very annoying interior rattle. It sounded like it was coming from the top of the dash. I thought it was likely the little coin/accessory tray on the dash or the defroster vent cover along the windshield. Those have come up often on the forum as a source of...

Thanks for the fast replies guys. Looks like a 4" might be the winner for overall towing. By the way I like the Saber color the1mrb. That's what I have! Not many Rangers around here yet in general (SE WI) and even fewer in Saber. When I was shopping for my Ranger the very first one I ever saw on...

Hello all. I've never had a vehicle with a hitch. I have the tow package on my XLT 4x4. I want to pick up a ball/hitch combo. I assume because the rear end of the 4x4 sits so high I will need to get a hitch with some "drop" in it? What configuration do many of you use that you have found to...

Thanks. Since it's quick I'll probably just git 'er looked at. I was just thinking if the date code on the motor was right in front of my face I could look it up myself and maybe save a trip.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Seems to make sense.

Maybe I'm way overthinking this or misunderstanding. Can I set my system to have fresh outside air flow through the floor and dash vents without being heated or cooled? Just good ol' ambient temperature air for nice temperate days where I just want some extra circulation by my feet and such? It...

I can't seem to locate the thread anywhere but I thought someone posted at one point that it's easy to check the necessary numbers on the blower motor yourself without going to the dealer? I seem to recall it is located behind the glove box and is visible? I just looked up under my dash on the...

From my very limited experience that can be repaired. I think a crack can get several inches long before it is no longer a candidate for repair. I believe if you go on the websites for some of the national windshield repair companies they tell you the maximum length a crack can be to be a...
