Longtime snooper but I figured I would chime in on this. 2019 STX Supercab, 42k miles, no mods, bone stock other than new Kumho HT's and an aFe drop-in air filter. No issues to report here!
I purchased/installed the Ford OEM running boards. They are not anything special but decently priced compared to what some other running boards cost. I noticed I was smashing the side bolster of the seat every time I get out of the truck so they are definitely helping with that.
Everything that IdahoRanger said is correct. CARB made sense back in the 70's and 80's when cars didn't require catalytic converters and guzzled that fuel ha. The emission requirements of this state are down right ridiculous and honestly unnecessary for cars nowadays (end rant).
To answer your...
I saw absolutely no difference in MPG's when using 87 or 91 octane. Per the manual, it does say to use 91 when ambient temperatures are warm and it does get REALLY warm in the central valley during the summer months. So I will give the 91 another try next year but for now 87 octane works just fine.
Have about 2000 miles on an XL STX 2wd, OEM H/T tires, no bed cover, engine mods, etc. My driving is about 80%/20% highway/city. I have tried 87 and 91 octane and noticed no difference in MPG.
Computer MPG: 21.3
Actual MPG: 20.4
I am disappointed because I drive it easy and the window sticker...
Bridgestone make a variety of "Dueler" tires. For example, my Ranger has Dueler H/T's while other Rangers come with the Dueler A/T RHS. The A/T RHS is the Ford OEM spec all-terrain tire while the Dueler A/T Revo 3 is a much more aggressive A/T tire.
I am a believer in the Turtle Wax Seal n' Shine. My brother was raving about it and told me I had to try it on the new Ranger. I will say I am quite impressed with it. You can't beat the price per bottle, how easy it is to apply, and how it makes the paint feel like glass.
Greetings from the Central Valley! I recently purchased a 2019 Ranger to replace my 2003 Ranger (RIP :crying:). Love this truck though!! It's a SuperCab XL STX, 2WD, Trailer Tow Package and a Locking Rear-End. Have no complaints so far except for not being able to permanently disable the auto...
