No tire swap, I keep the Michelin Defender LTX tires year round. No towing ever.

Way back in 1971, I owned a Blue 302 4-door Maverick. Heater core had to be boiled out each fall or you had no heat that winter. And it rusted from the inside out! But it was reliable and got me to collage each day. And it could lay a +400 ft. patch any day of the week!

Here is what I did with my 2022 XL: My 6th Ford Ranger - YouTube

The clearance is so close, if you do not brush off snow from the bumper before you open the tailgate, it will detach itself from the pivots levering on the compressed snow on the bumper.

Took you guys advice and purchased a desulphator and installed it immediately after a 30 mile drive. Voltage on the desulphator display was 12.4V. 2 hrs. later the indicated voltage actually went up to 12.7V so it must be doing something. Note that I did not connect a battery charger at that...

I disconnected the BMS because I don't like the charging voltage varying from high 13's to low 15's. The voltage regulator keeps the voltage within a few tenth's around 14.5 all the time.

My bad. It is an AGM! And yes I agree the battery is most likely going bad. I didn't turn off the BMS for at least a year, so it was never charged correctly. My trips are 30 miles so that should be enough?? Also, I don't understand how with only 11.8V, the truck reliably starts way below zero.

On my 2022 Ranger XL (The beer can edition), it is now 3 1/2 yrs old, 36,000 miles. For the last 6 months, the static battery voltage is generally between 11.8 and 12.0 volts. The BMS is disconnected so it receives the full alternator charge. I receive numerous messages stating the system was...

My fix was to disconnect the BMS and allow the battery to fully charge as Henry Ford intended, 100 yrs ago as seen here:

This is what I did years ago. Still working.

I recently had to use my Ranch Hand guard on my 2022 Ford Ranger, just not on a deer! Pulled into a gas station. Pumps were on the left @45 deg angle. Picked second row. Pulled up and pumped. Drove past the pump and swung around to the left to be on the outside of the 1st row of pumps to exit as...

The Ford Factory warranty is dependent on the integrity of the Dealer. Case in point: Purchased a 3G Ranger and my father a Crown Vic from this dealer. I had a bad throw out bearing that whistled. Took it in and their head mechanic and I went for a test drive. He verified it was a bad throw out...
