I wanted to update this in case anyone stumbled on it later.
Both RP and Phil’s guesses were correct. It was the center support bearing. It was replaced along with the U joint and the noise is gone. Now that I see how quiet the truck is supposed to be I can say for sure the bearing was bad...
Hey all,
Add one more to the pile. Mine presented a bit differently than the others though. Mine was a steady and fairly loud whine above 70mph. It had a very reproducible shudder anytime you left off the gas at speeds above 70. It was like softly hitting a rumble strip rather than the normal...
You already have Fox shocks in the front. Isn’t there more adjustability to be had out of them?

I would love to see the tremor fender flares in black. I have the carbon grey FX4 with black pack and I feel like the black flares would really set it off.
Love how the ranger has its own look. Kinda sad the next one will probably just look like a smaller F series. I like the F series styling it’s just nice to have something unique. Good thing we all got the 5g.
Man I really gotta get my wheels and tires done on my FX4… these tremors are looking great especially with a little extra offset. I’ve have some +25 offset 17” wheels just waiting to be mounted for months but I haven’t felt like spending the money on tires! Nothing is cheap these days.
Makes me happy I got a 2021. I feel like the interior is going to be the big improvement. I don’t hate our interior though so no complains there. Unlikely to be a massive upgrade at this point. I’m guess it’s going to have rear coils vs leaf springs but I’m never driving around wishing I had a...
Thanks RP. I am having a hard time pinpointing the range of the noise because it continues to manifest as fast as I am willing to go. I’ll pay more attention this weekend and see if decreases at any point by my senses are telling me it starts at 70 and continues from there without getting...
Hey all I have a new noise on the ranger. I’m going to take it in soon and I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced this one or has any ideas what it might be.
The truck is nice and smooth no shifting problems or other real symptoms.
At exactly 70mph I get a fairly loud whining sound which...
Nope, have two little ones and everything fits great in the ranger. I have an expedition as well which obviously affords more room as a family hauler but the ranger does great with two seats in the back. Wife and I are both tall people and with two rear facing seats we’re comfortable. When it...
I had a Harley in the back of my Ranger today. Does that mean I put all the bronco owners to shame? Different trucks with a different purpose. The Ranger is a lot more useful for my needs.
Yeah I’m with you. I have one on order with the 7mt but after I learned more about it I wouldn’t be getting it if I was still going to buy the bronco. They should have gone with tremac.
Was the claim denied by the dealership or Ford? I would probably push back on that and see where it gets you. Unless you let a bird turd sit on there and fester forever I can’t see that being an issue on paint so new. I honestly think they just don’t want to do the work. Call customer care.
