With suicide doors at that! I'm on my third Ford SCAB: 2004 F-150 Heritage (great truck w/4.6L triton motor), 2019 F-150 (too big/bulky, not my style) and now my 2021 Ranger (XL, w/STX and FX2 packages, they threw the alphabet at it. I love it!) SCAB's just look better proportioned to me...

Not a fan of airbags. Any safety device that comes with a warning just doesn't make sense to me. Wish I could get rid of the damn things.

We've seen what magic Ford can do with the small capacity in-line 4's spread throughout their current lineup. With horsepower, efficiency and just fun to drive, we all (most of us anyway) love the 2.3L commonly found in our Rangers. Not so much the transmission, maybe, but that's another story...

Thankfully you're OK and not too much damage. I'm guessing the deer's roadkill. Curious if that other driver bothered to stop to check on you.

This. On my 2021 XL the rear headrests just fold forward (you may have to push a button, I forget) and give you the clearance to lift the headrest up and off. Trust me the view is much better without them!

I left Boston because of that blizzard in '78. It was nasty. I couldn't take those damn winters anymore. Moved to Atlanta (too hot there in the summer though).

Thread's long, didn't read it all. But if no one has said it, definitely no less than 1/2. The fuel pump is submerged in the tank and cooled by the fuel. Let it get too low and you risk burning out the pump. I know from experience, had that happen to my 2003 F-150 and it was the only problem...

Yeah, you look at the tread on mine and the lugs are laid out differently than those on a street tire, but the depth isn't much different. They're quiet on the highway but not very aggressive for off-road usage. Maybe should call them most-(but not all) terrain tires.

You beat me to it. I was going to say my wife, but that would change to ex-wife if I did!

Well we finally got a decent snowfall here in St. Louis, the only real one of any consequence in quite a few years, maybe 5-6 inches (now don't you guys out in Colorado laugh). So this was the my first experience in snow with my 2021 Ranger XL with the FX2 package and locking rear diff. Still...

I knew something wasn't right when I saw a price tag on the bottom of one of my toys. I question everything since then, a trait which comes in handy (especially with internet forums)!

Warm that engine up long enough and you got some good possum stew waiting for you!!!!

Lol. I somehow got into Facebook one day through the back door (I must have linked in through one of those annoying pop-ups you get on the 'net). That was the extent of dipping my toes into Facebook. Now, if I even try to go in there, I'm told that I'm banned for life. WTF?????

True words of wisdom here. Ignore the "turn engine off" message, since you never turned it on:crazy:. Basically it's telling you your battery is getting towards the end of its life, so better keep an eye on it. The auto start/stop system was probably disabled, mine stopped working a year or so...

No look-see at the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X? No turbos!:rockon:

Well, at least these might keep their coating for a while. Not long ago I ordered the following from Ford Accessories: https://www.ford.com/product/hitch-shackle-kit-by-curt-p2790192914. Returned them the next day. Despite the description "Protected by a highly durable carbide powder coat...

It looks pretty sweet, but... there's a warning on the Amazon site that says "Frequently returned item, check the product details and customer reviews to learn more about this item." I shop Amazon a lot and never saw that before. Seems the coating flakes off easily, and some people had trouble...

While on the subject, here's an interesting You-tuber mechanic's take on the 2.3L engine found in the 2024 Ranger, regarding the "plumbing" found under the hood. Relevant section starts at 4:15.

Funny- the only sewing machine noise I get is from the stock exhaust system?!

LOL, I hear this from my wife everytime we get in the truck. She just brings a small throw to cover her legs, but I don't think that would work too well on the driver's side.
