Well, I just suffered the leaf spring failure that's going around. My truck has a shell on it and I have an F-350 for "truck" stuff so I've never had weight in my truck. It's gotta be a manufacturer defect. The quote is $2200 to fix it. I'm ticked and just waiting for the other side to fail...

My 2019 is at the dealer with a possible tranny issue. I was climbing a highway mountain pass yesterday at 65mph when I suddenly lost power and had the wrench light come on. I couldn't maintain 55mph and it dropped down to 6th gear, which should've been 70mph in 8th or 9th gear. Once I cleared...

Serious question... How is a Tremor functionally different from what I have? I have a 2019 Lariat Sport FX4 with a locking rear, Terrain Management, Trail Control, front air-dam delete, Ford Performance Off-Road Leveling Kit and BFG KO2 255/75/R17 tires. If I were to trade my truck in for a...

The owner of our local dealership is my cousin and has been one of my good friends since we were little so he's promised me the first crack at the new Ranger Raptor when the order banks open up. My question is, "Do I really want the Raptor over the 2024 Tremor?" I think I'd be giving up fuel...

My brother bought his first brand new truck two weeks ago. It still has the temp sticker in the window waiting for the license plates to arrive. Last week his wife didn't see a car traveling down a 25mph road and pulled in front of it, hitting the drivers side front quarter panel. The bids are...

While putting some rear blocks on the leaf springs I noticed there is an extra shim on the driver side. Is this normal or is it missing one on the passenger side? I just put it back together the way it was as I wondered if the truck was maybe not balanced equally so the factory did that to...

Please tell me I'm not crazy and these should fit! I ordered 255/75R17 in TA KO2 to go with the 2" Ford lift. From what I can find here, I'll be okay... But please tell me if I'm wrong so I can go a different route. For reference... 265/65R17 (stock) = 30 1/2” 265/70R17 = 31 1/2" 255/75R17 = 32"

Last week in southern Utah we were going up a trail (legal & marked) that was basically just a dry river wash. We couldn't keep going up because of a large ledge/step with water under it and we were forced to go back the way we had come. The problem is we had dropped off 5-6’ ledge comprised...

I bought the Securicode Keyless Entry Keypad from Ford Accessories but can't figure out how to program it to the truck. It doesn't come with instructions, just says to reference the Locks & Security section of the Owners Manual... which appears to be absent. Any ideas how to enter the "key...

It finally warmed up enough to roll down my windows and I noticed a metal on metal noise coming from my front left tire. I figured it was a stuck brake caliper so I pulled the tire and found the dust guard was bent into the rotor creating a rubbing noise. Here is what the passenger side looks...

https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2019/02/21/ford-gas-mileage-pollution/2943404002/ Ford Motor Co. has launched an investigation into whether flaws in an internal mathematical model may have caused it to overstate gas mileage and understate pollution from a wide range of vehicles...

Has anybody with their Ranger figured out which tailgate damper will work?

Per the Owner's Manual (pg 286) it states that tire chains can only be used on the rear axle (this is in the manual of most trucks nowadays). After seeing the truck, do you guys think it will be possible to use chains on the front tires if necessary? While hunting in deep snow it is really...

Did anybody get their order submitted and a build date issued (mine is December 24th) that included the Keyless Entry? The dealer can't get it accepted with that add-on, though it is on my order. I guess Ford isn't building them with that option at this time. Wondering if I'm the only one...

Is anybody else planning on a topper shell for their Ranger? I went into the Leer dealer in our town and he's telling my 4-9 months... hoping somebody else has better news. Maybe from a different manufacturer?
