Hi all- Background on my towing experience and my Ranger: I frequently tow a 5,000 lbs. travel trailer, with WDH and trailer brakes. No issues, very confident, but I will not town in winter conditions. Dozens of trips with a U-Haul 5x8 cargo trailer, near max load of 3,000 lbs. No WDH nor...

I tried to follow this thread to adjust my Ranger's tire size after installing 31.5" tires (265/65R18), which are +1" over the stock size. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15994 265/65R18 (31.5") tires have a circumference of 2517mm. When I went to change this is BdyCM, the preset...

I am putting new tires on my 2021 FX4 soon and struggling to pick a tire between these two: Falken Wildpeak AT4W Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT I have considered nearly every mild to moderate A/T tire. I have my reasons for narrowing it down to these two. PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST ANOTHER TIRE. I...

Recently I noticed a clicking type of sound coming from the HVAC center stack that I am paranoid could be similar to this TSB thread. Although my truck has a December 2020 build date, which is should have the improved heater box assembly. When the truck is cold (just started up) and the HVAC...

I installed Diode Dynamics Stage Series 6” LED light bars in amber color on my Ranger last weekend. My truck is the Lariat with factory LED headlights and LED fog lights. I decided to go with the light bars rather than replace the OEM fogs for a few reasons: The OEM fog lights aren’t crap...

I installed these at 5k and removed them today at 32k (27k miles on these shocks). I would guess maybe 2% of my miles are off pavement I pushed down on these shocks along side a new Fox 2.0 and could not tell a difference. I suspect these have a lot of life left. I recently installed the Fox...

Looking for advice from the forum community please. Last week I had Fox 2.0s installed (well the fronts, the rears I did two years ago myself). I love the handling now, and in general the truck is awesome. I'm a few days into a road trip, and have put about 500 miles on the new setup...

I hated the suspension ride quality on my Ranger from day one...way too bouncy and uncontrolled. At 4k miles, I replaced the rear shocks with Fox 2.0s. That made such a difference. Somewhat due to my budget and somewhat due to listening to many on this forum state that you only need to do the...

I bought these to accommodate Tire Rack's Sport Terrain brand of wheels. I ended up buying a used set of Ranger sport wheels instead. Rather than throw these hub rings out, I'll see if anyone can use them. Asking $10, which is $2 more than the priority mail envelop they will ship in. Not...

Looking for other's opinion on what they are using for WDH for trailers similar to mine: Dry weight of 3,975 lbs, GVWR of 4,995 lbs and a dry hitch weight of 445 lbs. Here's the TT: Jayco 166FBS I am looking at the E2 hitches with built in sway control. I purchased the 8,000 lbs Trunnion...

Hey folks, need some advice. First, I am extremely mechanically and electrically inclined (engineer). I have done many vehicle stereo installed, etc. I cannot get the connector that interfaces with the high mounted brake to work. Seems like some of my wires will not go in far enough. The brake...

I am shopping for winter wheels and tires for my Ranger. On my other vehicles (three Subarus), I have always used hub centering rings with aftermarket wheels. When I asked Tire Rack if they included the rings, here was the reply: We don’t use hub center rings on trucks. We have had very few...

Complete set of Yakima OverHaul HD truck rack system towers. (note the HD crossbars are not included). I used this rack for a couple of weeks, then decided to swap it out for Yakima's Outpost rack instead. This rack was purchased as a show room demo, so I could not return it. Also note that...

I know folks have removed the headliner for the brake controller install. My truck has a roof dent. It looks like a ball or other large blunt object hit it. See pictures below. My PDR guy is confident he can repair it, but he suggests I remove the headliner first. I have removed door panels and...

3,000 miles Pickup in Portland or Bend Speak up if interest. They are going to the landfill in a week if no interest.

A few sources from this forum and YouTube state the difference in ride height (rake) front to rear to be around 3 to 3.5 higher in the rear. People say that the Fox 2.0 level kit set at the 2 inches default, will still leave about a inch or 1.5 inch rake. My 2021 FX4 has a 2" higher rear...

Can someone with the factory tow package please measure the distance from the top of the 2" hitch opening to the tailgate in the down position? I want to order a hitch bike rack for my 2021 ranger which will arrive in Feb. I am taking a road trip asap after delivery and won't have time to...
