  1. One of my happier days

    Got a wild hair and coupled with never finding my happy place with the truck, I traded it in on a Golf R today. Thought I needed a truck. Remembered fondly my old 1998 Ranger. Liked the overseas Wildtrak that I drove so ordered one in December 2018. 6 months wait, lots of complaints from owners...
  2. Interior light stays on

    Strange. I get in and the interior light comes on as it should with the switch in the flat middle position. Start the truck, put it in gear, head down the road... at no point does the light go out. Toggle the interior switch to "on" then back to the flat/middle position and it goes out. I have...
  3. Truck wouldn't start. Many codes.

    Could use some help getting pointed in the right direction since the service department couldn't turn up anything. Stopped to fill up with gas a couple days ago and when I went to start the brake was rock hard (finally! haha) and a bunch of errors cycled across the left instrument panel screen...
  4. Smooth Braking/Brake modulation

    One thing I've noticed about this truck is it is very difficult to smooth brake. By that, I mean, as you are completing the stop, you start to gently ease up on (modulate) the brake so when you finally stop, it's super smooth and you passengers don't feel that last little movement from the front...
  5. Soft/Mushy/Inconsistent Brake Fix?

    It's great that we have some insiders here and especially @P. A. Schilke , a retired Ford Engineer. In this thread:Possible brake issue He mentions to a couple members who complained (like many of us) about the soft/mushy/inconsistent brakes. His suggestion: " Try this... from 30 mph, brake...
  6. How much effort to close your hood?

    During my inspection while picking up the Ranger, I checked out the engine compartment. When I went to close the hood, I put it all the way down, then pushed down firmly like I have done with many other vehicles. Since it has a gas helper strut, you can't just drop it from some level. Anyway, it...
  7. Mike's Ranger experience

    Picked up my Supercab Ranger on Friday. Ordered Dec 1 and picked up May 31. I'd say overall, it pretty much hit the scheduled build and delivery dates...at least within a week or so. Armed with all of the knowledge gained over the past 6 months made my inspection and buying process fairly smooth...
  8. Starting to get cold feet

    I have bought quite a few cars in my day and never gave it a second thought. For the most part never had any problems. This time is different. I ordered a truck and will have waited almost 6 months. The problem is now all if the problems are getting reported and there seem to be many...
  9. Ordered this year, but disappointed in the color choices?

    Another reason to be *potentially* be disappointed. Potentially good news for those that are holding off. Over at BOF https://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/67005-2020-feature-and-paint-colors/&do=findComment&comment=1063182 "19 hours ago, fuzzymoomoo said: It's the first...
  10. Fake engine sounds?

    Was watching the TFL early impression and at around 6:36 you can hear a deep growling sound and the guy comments on it saying it is probably a fake sound which is then verified by the Ford guy in the truck. Is that on all trim levels or just some with certain audio options? If It is on mine...
  11. Cloth vs Leather seat comfort

    I have a question for the folks that have been out to the car shows or test drive events. How does the comfort compare between the cloth and leather seats? I realize that is a very subjective question but thought I'd ask. I am 6'3 and 195 just to add another possible data point. When I lived...
