I managed to keep my 2019 Ranger absolutely scratch and ding free for over 2 years. Until now. Long story but I ended up catching a low hanging tree branch backing up. The collision smashed the passenger side taillight housing. It also pushed in /creased the very small area of sheet metal...

Hello all. I don't have much experience with 4 x 4. We got several inches of heavy wet snow last night. I was in a parking lot and made a fairly sharp turn. My steering wheel was not "pegged" to the limit but close. I had 4 x 4 H engaged. With the wheel turned sharply the truck "bucked" or...

I found some older threads that somewhat address this topic but want to see if anything more has been learned now that the new Ranger has been out for a while. When I bought my 2019 XLT it did not have the factory installed remote start option on the key fobs. I was thrilled to learn I could...

I'm considering doing a speaker upgrade on my XLT Crew Cab. It has the standard 6 speaker set up - tweeters high in the front and 6.75" (I assume) woofers in the front and rear doors. Being an XLT I have the large touch screen media center. I used to know my way around stereo systems back in the...

Last night I got home from golf. Went to pop the tailgate to get my clubs out. Pulled the latch handle and it wouldn't open. Gave the gate a good tug on the top edge in case the gate was just binding. Wouldn't budge. I cycled the locks several times from my key fob - wouldn't budge. Cycled the...

The past few weeks I had a rather loud, very annoying interior rattle. It sounded like it was coming from the top of the dash. I thought it was likely the little coin/accessory tray on the dash or the defroster vent cover along the windshield. Those have come up often on the forum as a source of...

Hello all. I've never had a vehicle with a hitch. I have the tow package on my XLT 4x4. I want to pick up a ball/hitch combo. I assume because the rear end of the 4x4 sits so high I will need to get a hitch with some "drop" in it? What configuration do many of you use that you have found to...

Maybe I'm way overthinking this or misunderstanding. Can I set my system to have fresh outside air flow through the floor and dash vents without being heated or cooled? Just good ol' ambient temperature air for nice temperate days where I just want some extra circulation by my feet and such? It...

Can anyone recommend a decent tire shine product? Most recently I've been using the Armor All Tire Foam in the aerosol spray can. Looks great when first sprayed on but seems to not last long at all. After even a few hours it fades to nothing. Would like to find something that lasts at least...

I was driving my XLT a couple nights ago. It was after dark. Edge of town where there are not many street lights or other significant ambient light. As a car approaches in the other lane coming at me my headlights dim significantly. The instant the other car passes they brighten up again...

My Ranger engine is my first turbocharged engine. I noticed the fresh air intake tube/hose on each turbo attaches to the grill area of the truck. The question just crossed my mind - is there an air filter on each air intake somewhere? If not what keeps dust and such out of the engine? It appears...
