Hey all, I finally did it—I got into my first little “accident” with my truck. I backed into a delivery truck and busted my passenger side tail light. Totally my fault, but goddamnit he wasn’t parked in a proper loading zone!! 🤬 I heard the back-up sensor beeping, but not rapidly, so I...

Hey all, Wanted to post a silly question here that I was asking AI the other day: “Can you convince me why my 2019 Ford Ranger XLT was a good purchase?” (I bought it in Sep ‘22 with 26k miles on it) I don’t have buyer’s remorse, I love my truck! I just want to be reminded of why it’s so...

Hey all, Just went to a mom and pop shop today and was quoted $650 for a full transmission fluid/filter replacement. Did my research here (and even asked Gemini AI) and found that that seems kinda high. I called the dealership and (surprisingly) was quoted $359 for the same job. I asked “is...

Hey all, I’m almost at 56k miles on my 2019 XLT. I drive it pretty gently and don’t drive it much as I ride my bike to work almost every day. I’ve put about 29k miles on it in about 40 months. I noticed my engine doing these little stutters when I’m idling and my brother in law mentioned...

Hey all, I’ve been experiencing some pretty bad shaking when I’m applying the brakes on a decline, even ones that are not very steep. Even my wife noticed sitting in the passenger side so I’m certain it’s not all in my head. I recently bought new OEM brakes to install, but I realized that my...

Hey all, Any tips on how to easily and affordably achieve a smoother ride on my Ranger (2019 XLT Sport) without sacrificing anything or messing anything up? I know it’s a truck and it’s supposed to be a little rugged, but when I hit those dang speed bumps it just sways like a mofo! I have...

Hey all, I just noticed this clicking noise coming from under my steering column a few days ago, had never heard it before. I’ve attached a video, hopefully the audio is okay. Any help?

Hey all, I just bought my wife an e-bike today and we’re looking to take them (hers and mine) around town for strolls quite a bit. I’m leaning toward a tailgate pad, because I figure I’d utilize my truck bed instead of getting a rack, but wanted to get some opinions. They’re pretty heavy...

Hey all, I was looking to replace my e-brake boot, because it’s come loose, but it seems that I may need to replace the ring that goes underneath the boot as it looks like some of the clips may be broken or bent. Does anyone know where I can get one? I found a website (RedlineGoods.com) that...

Hey all, Gonna be driving up to Big Bear Mountain in California and the forecast says a good amount of snow. This will be my first time driving in snow/ice (I’m a Florida native) and I’m a tad bit worried. Any recs on tire chains/cables? My co-worker recommended the ones in the picture. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m looking for an aftermarket exhaust tip for my “Blanger” (black Ranger). Something simple that will look good, but will also hold up and not discolor, rust, etc. I’d prefer something in black to match my truck color. I have heard about some people just painting the stock tip black...

Hey dudes, Thinking about doing a transmission service and looking for some advice. I just hit 43k miles and I’ve heard Ford recommends doing it at 30k(?). Someone I asked said they did theirs around 45-50k. Just wondering if it’s necessary. Other than the occasional normal Ranger rough...

Hey dudes, I'm having trouble finding an inflatable mattress for my 5’ short bed. All I seem to find are mattresses for long beds—the shortest I’ve seen are 5.5’? I got a Napier Sportz Tent recently for a camping trip and I want to get a mattress for it. Can anyone help point me in the right...

Hey dudes/dudettes, Going on a glamping weekend trip to Joshua Tree, CA next month. I was thinking of buying a tent that attaches to the bed of my ‘19 Ranger. Anyone have any experience with these? Good? Bad? Worth it? Not worth it? Recommendations? Thanks!

Hey dudes, adding a video to this post. Summary: Changed my own oil. Mistakenly left gasket on from old filter (STP filter), put on the new filter (first time using OEM Ford filter), started the truck and oil spilled EVERYWHERE. Removed filter, removed old gasket, replaced filter. Sprayed it...

Hey community, First post here. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer. As a non-savvy car guy, I use this community a lot for tips, advice, etc. So thank you all! Looking to upgrade the tires on my 2019 XLT Ranger. It currently has some stock size tires that they put on when I...
