I see you're in Jersey so I assume you have snowy winters? Did the carpet get wet with snow and such over the winter? Even though that was likely weeks or even a couple months ago that could be the cause of the musty smell and mold now. In my experience water soaked carpet can stay wet for weeks...

I have a 2019 XLT 4x4. Not the FX4 version. When I was shopping trucks I read every Ranger review I could get my hands on. Many talked about the "floating" and "soft" characteristics of the ride. When I first test drove the Ranger I thought it was indeed true. I didn't care much for the ride but...

I too saw somewhere - maybe on this forum where the plug should be replaced each time. Put me in the keep reusing it for the life of the truck club. If you screw it in and it doesn't leak I'm not sure what more you can ask for. It's not going to just fail one day and fall off the truck. If down...

Can anyone recommend a decent tire shine product? Most recently I've been using the Armor All Tire Foam in the aerosol spray can. Looks great when first sprayed on but seems to not last long at all. After even a few hours it fades to nothing. Would like to find something that lasts at least...

I agree the filler neck wiggles around enough that it got my attention right away. Does not seem to be an issue however in terms of shutting pump off. I do worry a bit however about how "robust" the design is as the years tick by. The end seems to be just free floating so there is a leveraging...

Might be worth checking door gap, gasket alignment and condition, etc. My XLT is remarkably quiet when it comes to wind and road noise. If yours whistles it sounds like something not sealing as tight as it should. Leather seat sag seems common. For what it's worth my drivers side cloth seat...

Just curious why a sliding rear window is a desirable feature. It seems to be a feature a lot of folks like. I've never owned a truck before my Ranger. My truck happens to not have a sliding rear window. I never gave it any thought one way or the other when I picked out the truck. Beyond maybe...

Had a somewhat related experience yesterday. Tried to remote start through FordPass. Generally I hold the "button" down on my phone screen. Arrows on icon spin around for several seconds, button turns orange and tells me engine is started. Yesterday arrow kept spinning. After a minute or more I...

My screen froze up too recently - about 3 K miles and on the road a bit over 2 months. I had experienced this same thing every couple of months with the previous generation Sync system on my 2013 Ford Escape. I've found both with my Escape and Ranger that shutting off the vehicle and restarting...

I've got the same. If I put my hand by the driver side floor went I feel very little air flow compared to the passenger side. Seems to be a common /universal problem. For what it's worth my 2013 Ford Escape had the same problem. Not sure if it is simply a design issue or if other factors are...

I'm about where you are at with my 4x4 XLT. Very disappointed. I've got about 3500 miles and a bit over 2 months on the truck. Oddly mileage seems to be getting noteably worse as truck breaks in. Shortly after I picked it up I took a 6 hour highway road trip. Averaged a bit over 25 MPG. I was...

I'm 6'2". Crew cab. Seat not all the way back and I feel I have much more than enough room. If I have people in the back seat I can move my driver's seat up quite far and still feel OK.

I considered that same thing. The amount of pressure needed however can be controlled with the ratchet. I have it set rather light since the bar is just blocking a plastic tote that is empty or close to it most of the time. If the bar was to fall off no harm done. The bed is also double walled...

I put a standard ratcheting cargo bar (about $25 - $30 at my local farm store) low across my bed about two feet or so in from my tail gate. Like Az Scorpion I then just placed a fairly large typical plastic storage bin with a lid in front of the bar. Now I can use my bed like the trunk of a car...

Looks like I did misunderstand the system. It likely has nothing to do with DRL but with automatic high beam control. I assumed that if I turned my brights on manually, automatic high beam control would dim them as cars approached. Simple enough. I just read the following on page 71 of the...

Thanks guys. First thing I'll explore is if the green light indicator is coming in and off as it happens. I didn't think to look for that as I was focused on if my brights were on while it was happening. I also didn't realize there was a menu section/selection tied into the DRL. I'll check that...

Sorry my message posted before I finished! I was going to say I watched I carefully. The lights would dim significantly (or shut off). The exact instant the passing car would be "even" with my car so the lights were no longer shining at mine - my lights would brighten back up. Did it about a...

No offense - I know for a fact the lights were actually dimming (or shutting off as you suggest leaving only the DRLs on). I would watch carefully.

Thank you Mobius. My XLT will operate as you describe. If I turn my Hi Beams on manually they will automatically switch to low as a car approaches then back to high. I expected that as I knew that was a feature of the truck. One thing I don't recall is if my headlight switch was turned to full...

I was driving my XLT a couple nights ago. It was after dark. Edge of town where there are not many street lights or other significant ambient light. As a car approaches in the other lane coming at me my headlights dim significantly. The instant the other car passes they brighten up again...
