I haven't checked in with the forum for awhile so I thought I"d post on a new tire purchase. After 37,000 miles on the OEM Bridgestone Dueler HT's I had a new set of Michelin Cross Climate 2's installed today. For those unfamiliar with them I posted a picture of the tread pattern. I know it's an...

I got my first substantial dent but was able to affect a 90% self repair. I presume the dent was the result of a parking lot incident. The first picture is of the door panel damage and the second is after removing the inner door panel and affecting some degree of repair. It's not perfect but I'm...

After months of waiting I finally received a replacement tail light and installed it yesterday. The replacement is as pictured without the BLIS module. Instead you swap the BLIS over from the original. R &R went pretty well open tailgate, remove 2 hex head bolts and remove tail light from 2 pins...

Had an unusual occurrence today. When attempting to push button start the Ranger it would not respond. It would only go into accessory power mode as if it were not reading the key. Prior to this the code was read fine allowing me to unlock the vehicle. I then exited the vehicle and...

During a very low speed impact with a 2014 Toyota Four runner the Ranger got a cracked taillight. You should be able to see it in the attached photo. The cracks are over the backup light. I anticipate a lengthy wait for a replacement so a temporary repair to prevent water intrusion or other...

Here's something to keep those who have a Bronco on order happy for awhile.

A video made in 2011 on the history of the Ford plant in Cologne Germany. It's been in continuous operation since opening in the 1930's. Includes a lot of archival footage and interesting items.

I'll sleep better knowing a Ranger is on the job. Nice paint scheme too.

What's with the "I'm not a robot" captcha questions? It's ridiculous, an account and a password should be sufficient. I don't need the aggravation of finding all the buses, people, crosswalks in a series of low resolution pictures.

For no apparent reason the backup camera will switch from my chosen mode of delay off to instant off. This has happened 3 or 4 time since new. I assume it is a random glitch in the software. Just today it was properly in delay mode when backing out of a parking space but it was in instant off...

Can any of the users recommend a quality brand of soft shackles for emergency use on our Rangers? (I have a tow line from previous vehicles) TIA

Today in the garage I was wiping the bugs of the front of the truck with a wet paper towel. As I finished up the grill and was starting on the passenger side headlight, the DRL's gave a quick flash on/off. Almost like it was thanking me for getting the bugs off! I did not have the keyfob on me...

I'm considering a more aggressive tread pattern for the drive tires. I currently have the stock Bridgestone Dueler H/T all season tires and they seem to be fine so far. I primarily stick to the pavement but will occasionally venture in light off road to get somewhere, not as a hobby. Anyone have...

OK I cheated a bit here. This was at my dealer while I was getting an oil change and the seatbelt anchor recall accomplished. FYI My service advisor mentioned they had not seen any that warranted repair.

The Oh Ranger recreational park finder app was initially sponsored by Ford. With the demise of the Ranger Toyota took over sponsorship some time ago. On todays update, from the Apple App store, the Toyota sponsorship on the splash screen is no longer there. Perhaps Toyota dropped it with the...

I presume this vehicle has DRL's? After driving 1500 miles, I just realized my DRL's do not come on. The light surrounds themselves work, when you open the door etc, but neither they, nor the headlights, function as DRL's. I have a Lariat and the daytime lights function in the LH menu screen is...

Installed a couple of 2X's in the bed today to use as a cargo divider. I cut them shorter from what was needed on the Super Duty I traded in on the Ranger. Unlike that truck the slots are wider so it requires two boards to be used. I suppose so you can also use them to create a flat load surface...

Does anyone know how to get back to the split screen, that occurs at startup, on the console display? The split screen I refer to comes up when you first start the truck. Half the screen is the map and half is the audio. I'd like to be able to get back to the split screen after going to full...

Just picked up the Ford rubber bed mat. It appears to be a good quality material and it's a good fitment. There's little to no gaps around the contours of the bed. I think it's well worth the $128.00 with tax I paid for the 6 ft version. I ordered it at the dealer the day I picked up the truck...
