  1. Transmission Fluid and Brake Fluid Exchange Service/Cost

    I just had my 2021 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 serviced - Transmission Fluid Exchange and Brake Fluid Exchange. 52,722 miles on the odometer. I wasn't having any issues with either system . . . just wanted to have both serviced as preventative maintenance. Transmission fluid checked out fine - no...
  2. Transmission Level Check

    Is there a procedure for checking the level of the transmission fluid on our Rangers? When I actually had a dipstick that I could reach from the top side of the engine, I would cycle the transmission through all the gears, ending in neutral. Then, with the car running and transmission at...
  3. Ford Performance Air Oil Separator Installed

    I just installed the Ford Performance Air Oil Separator, and as others have said, removing the lower hose was definitely painful to the hand and arm! I used a pruning shears to cut the plastic tube, and it made rotating the tube to access the orange clip that needs to be cut much easier. I used...
  4. Any Coolant Issues - 2021 Ford Ranger XLT

    I have just under 49,000 miles on my 2021 Ford Ranger XLT 4 x 4. I was looking over everything under the hood like I do every couple weeks, and noticed my coolant recovery tank coolant level is one inch below the Minimum mark/line. I did not see any coolant leaks, and I have not noticed any...
  5. New Tires

    Approaching 47,000 miles and another Minnesota winter, so I purchased new tires as the original Hankook Dynapro at2’s were wearing down. Discount Tire had BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K02’s on sale for $202 per tire. LT265/65 R17. Out the door for $1,124.25 and that included the road hazard...
  6. Ford Ranger Software Update Questions

    I routinely check my 2021 Ford Ranger XLT for software updates and had a couple questions about correct procedure. A couple days ago, there was a new update so I proceeded to download the update. It took almost an hour to complete. Do our Rangers automatically update if they are within WiFi...
  7. Said Some Naughty Words

    I was driving down the Interstate this morning and a huge bird (hawk, falcon, ???) flew up and hit my front passenger fender just behind the headlight. First dent, and it's a nice one. Rattled off a few naughty words as it happened. My deductible for Comprehensive is $500.
  8. Ford Protect Extended Warranty - Thoughts

    I own a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT. I have just over 30,000 miles on the odometer so I am closing in on the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. I do have the "Lifetime" Power Train warranty that the dealership offered, which includes seals and gaskets. Anyone here purchase the Ford extended warranty...
  9. A/C Stopped Working - Relay?

    We hit 65 degrees yesterday (which is hot for Minnesota in November). I turned my A/C on and got nothing. The lights on the control buttons were illuminated so I don't have a fuse problem. Wondering if the A/C relay (by the battery) is bad? Anyone else have this happen? I know it's under...
  10. Waste Management Bagster Uses

    I recently purchased a Waste Management Bagster from Home Depot for approximately $30. It measures 4' x 8' so it's a bit long for the 5' bed of my Ranger, but it does work perfect for hauling grass clippings and leaves to the compost pile. Fits better than a tarp and is easy to slide out and...

    About two months ago I purchased a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 and I absolutely love it! I love it so much that I couldn't pass up a deal on a brand new 2019 Ford Ranger XLT FX4. Picked it up for just under $25 - Brand New and no miles! Now I have a white Ranger and an orange (Saber) Ranger...
  12. New Member from Minnesota

    I recently purchased a 2021 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 Off Road and I absolutely love it! I belong to a similar forum for Harley-Davidson's so I wanted to start off the right way with an introduction. My last Ford truck was a 1994 Ford F-150 standard cab and after starting a family in 2001, I had to...
