Not sure if this is normal of all Rangers, but my passenger side window is a bit slower to rise and come down than the driver side. We're talking about 3 sec slower to fully go up or down. As far as I remember this has been an issue since I picked up the truck in 2019. Anyone else experience...

I'm honestly shocked. I haven't even had the truck for 3 years and I'm already developing rust in one of the black bands (anyone know what they are called?) at the top of the truck. 3 year bumper to bumper literally expires in 2 weeks. Image attached.

Hi all, I've started to have this problem since right around the pandemic's beginning. In 2020 I left the truck sitting for about 2 weeks without turning it on, and when I went to start the truck, it didn't start. I called the Ford roadside number and gave it the truck a jump, they told me to...

Hey folks, I just wanted to warn folks who were thinking about using Dr. Color chip on the front bumper of their trucks to cover some paint chipping, I ended up using it and having an issue where it actually seemed to have lightly etched the paint around the chip. You can see the etching (kinda...

I realize that this has been discussed in other posts before, but I don't believe we have a post specifically discussing owner's perspectives/beliefs regarding the truck's long-term durability. Granted, much of this will be speculation, as the only real way to test this is to let time take its...

Hi everyone, I got my 2019 Ranger in July of 2019, and I haven't used it much (I drive a 200 mile round trip every 2-3 weeks, all highway). I noticed a few weeks back that the truck wouldn't start, and so I figured it was the battery. I got it jumped and it started up right away. I drove it a...

Curious to see what folks love and also what folks don't like about the truck. For me, I love the feeling of the ride, as well as the engine. It feels smooth as butter, incredibly responsive, and is truly punching above its class. Couldn't be more satisfied with its performance after one year...

Hi all, Recently (about a month ago) I took my truck to the dealership to have the oil changed, and I noticed (today) that I don't have a skid plate underneath my truck. I don't remember if I had one when I bought it, but I think I might have. I remember watching oil change videos for the...

Hi all, Was just wondering if this is how the truck was designed, or if mine is faulty. My weatherstripping comes off really easily from both of my door windows if I just pull on it a little bit. It seems to not be very "glued" in place. Is this supposed to be that way, or is it supposed to be...

Hi all, I should prob check my owners manual for this information, but I left it in my house 300 miles away >.< I'm wondering if the Ford Ranger has regular beams, or only high beams. I click the little headlight dile on the left side of the steering wheel twice in order to turn on the front...

Hi all, So, this is either a post on the uselessness of Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax, or a post detailing how delicate the paint is on these trucks. Long story short, last week I washed my truck, followed the instructions to use Meguiars Hybrid ceramic Wax, applied it (early morning to avoid any...

Hi all, I find myself in the unfortunate situation of having to pick what type of damage I want my truck to incur long-term given my living situation. I recently moved to an apartment in San Bernadino, and have found it quite difficult to keep my truck out of trouble. Given where I am, I have 3...

Just curious what people's philosophies are with regard to normal wear and tear on their trucks. Given that this is the first new vehicle I own, I think I might be a little bit obsessed with every little scratch or scuff that gets on the paint. It also doesn't help that my truck is blue, so...

Hi all, It has started to cool off here a bit, and so I have been driving with my windows down and noticed something quite peculiar with the sound my truck makes. When I let off the gas, I get a high pitched "whine" kinda sound coming from somewhere in the truck. It primarily happens when I...

Hi all, So, today, at 317 miles, my truck gave me a low oil pressure and check engine light warning. I checked the oil dip stick, looked normal. I called the toll free number for Ford's towing services, had it towed to a dealership, and they said they will take a look at it tomorrow (Its...

Hi all, I was under the impression that Ford trucks were tougher than the competition. That said, the aluminum on the wheel wells feels rather cheap. In fact, I'm so afraid to put any weight on them for fear that they may collapse like a soda can (honestly, feels so delicate when I even lightly...

Hi all, I'm supposed to get a call from the dealership soon to have the running boards and drop in bed liner installed. I have actually never seen a 2019 Ranger with the drop in liner, does anyone have one? If so, would you mind taking a picture and sharing it? I wonder how the fit is for...

Hi all, About 30 miles into my new Ford Ranger I started hearing this strange sound coming from the engine. I'm pretty sure that I did not hear it when I test drove it and, if I did, it honestly wasn't pronounced enough for me to notice. Is this the normal sound of the ecoboost engine? Some...

Hi all, I picked up my ranger a few days ago, and it has been good so far. One thing I discovered after leaving the dealership was that the price I paid for the extended warranties was quite a bit more than what I should have. I was unaware that I could haggle these prices as much as I did...

Hi all, I am basically ready to pull the trigger on a 2019 Ranger tomorrow. I am getting the base model with a few extra features, and a 6 foot bed (primarily need it as a work truck and daily driver). I test drove it today, and the truck felt okay. I was also considering the Tacoma, but a...
