Trying out the new Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT. LT275/70R17 E

Twins for sure! :clap:But my pic is dated, quite few changes since then. I need to add new photos. How many km on yours now?

You are on the right track based on my experience with a 22 XLT FX4 owned since new. Except it's a Supercab with the 6 ft box. No longer offered by Ford, so I'll be keeping this one for years to come. And with no mechanical issues up to now, I'm ok with that.

Congrats! That's good to hear. No warranty issues or recalls so far on my 22 XLT FX4 Scab.

It's been 5 years. If you are still on here and still own the Ranger, how did it work out?

Here is an update with screenshots from the Petrie Ford emails- She chose this based on the very low odometer reading - Average so far of only 5,000 km per year so 80,000 km should be fine. More time and distance can be added before the warranty expires in 2030. I only use the Ranger for...

Damn, Ive got the same year and model. Both of us bought just before the CDF drum issue was over, 9/22 I think it was. No transmission problems here yet but I'm pricing the Ford PremiumCare warranty now... I just don't trust it. There should be a recall or extended warranties on all...

With all the 10R80 transmission issues on this forum and three years ownership coming up in May '25, I'm considering the Ford PremiumCare extended warranty. I see Petrie Ford in Ontario has a website claiming the lowest price in Canada. I just sent them my VIN so waiting to hear back. After that...

As a retired mech, I've seen a lot of vehicles damaged by infrequent service. Those owners paid my shops bills though! I follow severe service fluid change intervals. Besides, I still have the tools, it's a hobby now.

Island. Pic is west of Cowichan Lake. Where abouts are you in BC? I see you also own a supercab.

We planned to go camping rain or shine, lots of rain forcasted... but snow was forcast for higher elevations so we headed for the hills.

Recent snow camping trip with my daughter Allison and her dog Rex. Her vehicle is a 98 Jeep Cherokee XJ. We stayed busy removing heavy wet snow from the awnings. Diesel heater with a splitter kept both vehicles warm and dry overnight.

RSI Smartcap is about the best. Stainless steel construction. Another option to consider is Alucab. It's made of aluminum.

LT275/70R17. 32.2" .. Two inch level with Eibach 2.0 struts. One inch Mishimoto hub centric spacers on stock XLT wheels. Slight rub in reverse with the left front when hard left on the front crashbar plastic cover. I could just remove the covers and loosen and push the bars forward a bit, but...

Same. It was under the drivers side rear seat with the jack in my 22 scab

Nice truck. Mud tires? As you said, your previous AT tires will have much better traction with typical road conditions except for mud.

It's been a great budget friendly tire for my old hunting truck. So far has even out performed the Toyo AT3 on my 22 Ranger for 'off road use'. Might be because of the larger tread lugs and softer rubber compound. Durable so far and not a rock chucker, quiet on pavement but probably won't last...

Looks great. Any upgrades or reprogramming of the computer needed to run 33 inch tires? Besides minor speedo error, will it affect transmission operation?

Only two years last month but not a single problem. Paid off too, trucks were a lot cheaper compared to now. The new Raptor looks great in owner reviews, especially compared to the new Tacoma! I'll keep my 22 FX4 Scab and glad I bought it. Bonus.. it's always fun to drive!
