Curious what the additional insurance cost was. I checked back in November and it was just over 3 times the cost of my XLT Tremor Ranger insurance per year for an XLT Lightning with the extended range battery similar to what you purchased. In addition, there was going to be a surcharge added...

Seeing what they did with the 2025 reassures me that picking up a 2024 back in December was the right move for me.

I thought it was reasonable at the time for an oem ford key. Now seeing what's available on Amazon and eBay makes what I paid seem high.

The Ford flip keys aren't that bad, but can vary wildly depending on the shop. Last one I had made as a spare was $150 by a mobile locksmith. They supplied the key, cut it and did the programming steps using the steps you used. I did meet them at a dealership where they were doing work so...

$50 sounds reasonable to me. Could have been more. Most key shops won't even entertain cutting a key purchased from a different seller. If they used your existing key for the pattern, they would not need the vin#.

I would advise taking it to a body shop of your choice first. The insurance company recommended shops from the at fault driver always low ball the estimate.

Be sure to put wheel chocks in front and behind your wheels if you are going to manually shift the transfer case back to 2wd. Wouldn't want it to roll over anyone.

I'm curious as to what broke on it. Sounded like the transfer case popped out of 4wd low. Possibly 4wd wasn't fully engaged by the electronic shift actuator given the weirdness in getting it to shift back to 4wd high and 2wd.

The 2021 I had had a similar temperature imbalance issue. My testing results were here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/magic-button-to-get-heat-to-work-in-auto-setting.26806/post-620381 I never pursued it with the dealer before I traded it in. Sounds like your dealer is taking care...

Definitely keep any water out of it until you can replace it. The BLIS module can be transferred to a new light housing is my understanding. Not certain how susceptible the module is to water intrusion, but would play it safe.

Given the original poster wants to travel and sleep in the vehicle on occasion, a 4 door Bronco would enable them to setup the back for travel and sleeping space. I'd imagine with the back seats folded down, there is enough room for someone 6ft tall to stretch out. Quite a few inflatable air...

Are they giving you $6600 over and above the $19k payoff? If so that means they are allowing you $25,600 on the Ranger. If that is the case, it sounds to be in ballpark of trade in on a 2020 xlt 4x4 currently in my area of the states. Used cars are stagnant on lots around here due to interest...

My former 2021 Tremor with 23k miles is still sitting on the dealer lot since Dec. 7. Currently listed on Autotrader for $30,900, which is less than they gave me for it. It didn't have a scratch or dent on it. Here in the Southeastern states, there are lots of one owner 5G's with low miles...

I seem to recall mine picking up .6 to 1 mpg on long interstate runs after adding a hard fold tonneau, but I didn't do scientific testing. Didn't notice any around town or short trip improvements.

Every time I had that happen, I found that the truck was downloading updates during that time. Sometimes it went on for days as I was a short tripper and the downloads take forever to complete.

You can always rent a truck if needed. Plus, without a truck, people will stop asking you to borrow it or asking you to haul something for them.

You can get alignment without replacing any tires. The alignment equipment attaches to the wheels themselves. They will just hopefully cross rotate the front tires to the back and pull the rears straight forward. Might be noisy from the tire wear pattern for a few thousand miles, but should...

Had the XL's on my Tremor and they were worth every penny.

If you are looking, might be an option to check out the southeastern states on Autotrader. Might be able to get a one way flight and road trip one back. Edit: totally missed you were looking for a new one.

Several used 5g Rangers available in my area, including the one I traded in early December. They aren't selling though. Quick check shows dealer's retail advertising price in the middle of kbb trade in value on the few that I checked. If they advertising retail in kbb trade in range now, you...
