With Ford announcing changes to the line up of nearly all their vehicles by 2029 I wonder the fate of the Ranger beyond the current offerings. Is the Ranger selling well enough to keep it in the line up?
Battery finally puked yesterday. Original from 2019 so it did pretty well I'd say. No out of pocket since the transmission rebuild netted me 77,000 Ford Pass points even if I originally had to buy the extended warranty so there's that. The kid replaced it but told me it won't start was going to...
I get the system turning off to save battery power notice on the display screen several a week ever since the truck sat for eight weeks during the transmission saga. The alert chimes are weak sounding at times so I wonder if the battery is on it's way to the graveyard
The upside of the crashed 10R80 is that I have over 77,000 reward points. What have you all gotten with your points. I know I can get oil changes and such but that's kinda boring. Any other ideas?
I want a basic dashcam just for front viewing I'd like it to have nice definition better than 1080. I ordered a Donger kit to pull the power from the autodim mirror. That looks pretty sweet so what cams are you guys using. Prefer to stay under $200.00
Finally have my Ranger back from the dealer yesterday. The 10R80 cratered in November. Dropped it off on Nov.11 so it was nearly nine weeks. While the work seemingly is good I didn't have the greatest experience with the dealer service department. They did a total rebuild which included the...
Finally got a loaner from my dealer. 2025 Bronco sport. the 3 cylinder turbo is pretty peppy for what it is. Nice comfortable little rig. I'm gonna have it a while so will see how living with it goes. So far I like it. Except for the old time paint scheme the white grille looks cheap to me
I'm considering trading my Ranger when I get it back from the transmission repair. Am I nuts for trading this pretty much (except for the aforementioned transmission repair) trouble free rig for a 2022 F150 or maybe even a brand new one. Have the 10R80 transmissions in the F150 been ironed out...
Not sure where this should be posted but is anyone else but me looking forward to the upcoming Ram midsize pickup truck? It's supposedly going to be built at the Toledo North factory where the Jeep Wranglers are built. I always liked the Dakota but not the last couple of years when they mucked...
Three time in the last few weeks I got the power save message to save the battery and the parking assist beeps were very tinny sounding and not very loud. I thought "Oh great the battery is going south" come to find out my grandson had left one of his electronic toys plugged in to the usb...
Right on schedule at 31000 miles my transmission is hard shifting when the truck has been sitting for more than 4 or 5 hours. Mostly when cold but at other times as well. It actually started last winter but not every time the truck had been sitting overnight. Made an appointment with my dealer...
Not long after I purchased my 2019 Ranger I installed Bilstein 5100 shocks to help with the Ranger wallow as I call it. It's made a world of difference but I've noticed or mostly my wife has noticed going over dips and bumps the truck definitely has a bit of a bounce in the rear. I don't really...
When the outside temperature is in the 30's to low 40's, First drive of the day after sitting all night I
get a delayed hard shift when it's going into second gear. Am I on the long tortuous road to a transmission failure? Only when it's cold outside. Haven't noticed when it warms up a bit...
A few weeks back I posted about replacing my cracked tail light assembly and the wild cost from Ford because of the BLISS module. I changed over the model into a aftermarket assembly and it's virtually identical save for the Ranger script on the inside. This week because the paint was not...
Installed the new unit. It was a bit fiddly putting the BLISS in place but all in all pretty straight forward. Looks perfect and the fitment was right on the money.
Friday while having my 2019 Ranger serviced at the dealer I got an up close and personal look at the Gen 6. Really nice truck and while I didn't get to drive it I was not so enamored that I would trade mine in for it. Cabin seems a bit more refined and the thought of a turbo charged 6 banger is...
I don't want to spend and arm and a leg on a dash cam. Ive seen them really cheap on Amazon but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for. I would like to stay under $150.00 any suggestions.
I bought my Ranger in June of 19 and it's been almost flawless since I got it. Only issues I have had were the parking brake boot (replaced under warranty) and TPM on the right front again under warranty and the shitty floaty ride, I took care of that with Bilsteins 5100 all four corners.Those...
Sorry but I didn't know where to post this. I've heard all the horror stories about waiting so long for a new Ranger and wonder if those other brands are having the same issues. You know the GM twins or the Ta**ma and such. I seem to see more of those on the new dealer lots than any of the Ford...
