:clap::like:After reading this, I think I will take your advise and enjoy the fact I placed a "made to order" vehicle that I really enjoyed to test drive and enjoyed drooling over in the showroom. I guess I'm just seeing the negative issues on the forums, and that's making me second guess. While...
Absolutely agree, a test drive and getting out and kickin the tires were part of my process as well. Looks like we both took the same route in making a decision. I guess the "waiting" (which i really don't mind within reason) is making me second guess :p:like:
Thanks for your input and experiences. Not concerned about the color too much. Just others positive or negative experiences. Yes, dealer location and how they treat you are a big part too. :like:
I understand and agree with your statement. With limited ranger vehicles near my area, its hard to ask actual owners for feedback. I totally agree with you. Thanks for your feedback and experience :like:
I do appreciate the feedback. Again, I realize its a personal choice, I was mainly looking for any positive or negative experiences you had with the vehicle. While i understand not every vehicle is perfectly made, I am trying to do my due diligence before signing on the dotted line. I...
Understood. Was looking for feedback on the dependability part more than anything. I'm sure just like anyone here, no one wants to buy a product only to find out it has issues.
As far as you know :crackup: ;)
Thanks for your input. I am aware of the Taco issues. I test drove one and didnt care for the stretched out seating or the sluggish motor. I also did some research on it and came up with similar complaints regarding TSB's. I appreciate your experiences :like:
Actually my neighbor has a desert tan Santa Cruz. He likes the vehicle, and stated it reminds him of the Honda Ridgeline. He doesn't like the motor, I guess he's had a few trips to the dealer for some issues. He's only had it less than a year and is already thinking of trading it in (he leased...
Had an Xterra years ago, was based on the Frontier platform at that time. Was a good vehicle, but traded it for a better gas mileage vehicle at that time of my life. The thing was built like a tank. No mechanical issues what so ever. Had issues with cheap plastic cracking inside and some...
So I have a Ranger on order, and am either having second thoughts or just have too much time on my hands to research other options in more depth/detail. I don't want to get anyone offended here or play favorites, but these are MY opinions based on MY life experiences while on this planet.
Pros...
Ordered mine on a Saturday mid January 2022, was told once the person who places the orders in following Monday, I would receive an email from FORD. Monday night I received that email from FORD stating my order was confirmed.
Dealer told me all correspondents regarding production/delays/etc...
I do not have this sill protector (nor do I have a Ranger...yet), but I do have experience with detailing these types of protectors.
Usually they are held in with double sided tape. Depends how far the tape was installed on the edge will determine how much crud will get caught between the...
I like the rough 3M anti slip tape...just remember to check that its waterproof adhesive/material. Some of these Amazon knock offs are really cheap and won't last long, especially after getting wet. A shop I worked at before used to apply a "LineX" knock off type paint. We would tape off the...
Just curious....I'm sure Phil would know, but how long did it normally take
FORD to manufacture a Ranger (or any vehicle for that matter) B4 the pandemic/supply chain BS?
Agree 100% Anything with UV block is better. I use that on any interior or exterior trim pieces that is exposed to UV as well. It's worth the extra $$. Again, I totally agree.
I use the silicone spray mainly on the door/window seals. Between 100 degree summers and -0 degree winters here, my...
