I have some special knowledge about the law, and I'll say you better put a disclaimer and/or waiver on it since you removed the front-end impingement bars. I can smell the lawsuit now.

Leaks are no fun. I think the most common-sense solution would be to top the oil off and check it each tank of fuel. If it isn't actively dripping then you won't lose enough to matter in the 350 mi between tanks of gas. Or just take your other car?

Just so we're clear, it's not the usual chime or Doo Doo Doo. It's a single beep.

I hate you had to wait so long, my 21' STX was delivered to the dealer exactly 2 months from order date. So, 8/18 to 10/18.

I recently towed my 16' Scamp and you really can't tell it's back there. I averaged about 15.5mpg ranging from 62-68mph. I used tow-haul, but I still had to lock out 10th gear as it would do a lot of shifting on rolling hills. 10/9/8 at about 62mph. Versus 9th which it tended to hold.

The only thing it could affect if the camber, but given how good wishbone (this is a form of wishbone) suspensions are at keeping camber across the range of travel, then I suspect the alignment difference would be negligible.

I don't see why if you're just removing the upper ball joint, axle nut, and sway bar to lower the strut.

I had the truck turned off and headlights off, but I pulled the headlamp stalk back towards me and the truck made a beeping noise I've never head before and it turned on the headlights. Can someone explain this function? I checked the owners manual and there is no mention, I know it can be...

Aren't those bolts used to align the front end? If you leave them in and remove the CV instead then you don't need another alignment?

Yes, like folks saying their engine oil smells like gas. I'd be more worried if it smelled like diesel or kerosene. What are we complaining about again?

I read through the big 100+ pg. thread and none of the reports came back as being so diluted as to cause issues. Oil dilution is normal for DI motors. Every manufacturer will tell you this.

The 2.3L is in what, maybe 500k vehicles now and there are no class action lawsuits or other TSBs for fuel dilution? The nature of gasoline is that it is barely a liquid at room temp, at the 150-200F that oil reaches, it would instantly vaporize. The PCV then routes that vapor into the intake...

This is absurd. Gas cannot and will not dilute the oil in any meaningful amount. The heat would immediately turn the gas into vapors which would get burned off by the PCV system. If you really believe there's gas in the oil you are a moron, sorry. Get the oil tested by Blackstone or another...

I don't disagree with these points, however the difference is the light output with an LED bulb can be 3-5x that of a halogen bulb. Reflectors are pretty rudimentary light aiming solutions. The cumulative effect is some glare which might be acceptable at halogen light output levels would be...

The factory LED headlights aren't very bright in terms of lumens. See: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/ford/ranger-crew-cab-pickup/2021#headlights Your headlights are just aimed too high.

I can vouch for Morimoto products, they will be the brightest option short of a custom-built HID headlight.

I have a 2021 Ranger Crew Cab 4x4 and the ride is definitely not mushy. Maybe a bit jiggly over rough impacts, but I think it is on the firm side of good. The truck controls my 2,500 lb camper well while towing, no porpoising over bumps.

Any more details on the specs? My STX 101A 4x4 Crewcab Ranger arrived two months from order date. Aug-Oct

The Ranger's bed is actually steel, the tailgate is aluminum. Also, most of us paid more because 4x4 alone is about a $3.8k option. My 4x4 STX with everything your truck has except a touchscreen was about 35k.

I was able to find different part numbers for the same frame depending on engine choice: One frame style for the 3.5L EB & 5.0, one for the 3.0T Diesel, and another for the 3.3 NA and 2.7T. https://www.carid.com/2021-ford-f-150-oem-exterior-body-parts/ford-oe-frame-and-components-4240796652.html
