Better MPGs in sport mode? Can anyone else confirm? Sounds unlikely.

Sounds like you have only been on Ford forums. Taco forums are all about how much they love their trucks.

Since the water in the spark plugs hasn't happened to me, I think it is basically conspiracy level at this point.

I like how I take my Ranger in with the tire air pressure in spec and leave with the tires overinflated. Every single time!

Please explain

Posting here too.

This is most likely my final oil analysis before my warranty expires. According to the Blackstone report, my oil dilution issue is at 2.3%, which is the best it has tested since my second oil change at 12k miles. The other good news is the oil analysis isn't showing signs of wear as evidence of...

I am going to take my Ranger out behind the barn and shoot it with a .22. Damn! Hit it in the oil pan. Now I have oil with 4% gas getting on my grass.

That is the question for me. The Tacoma is better looking and, likely, higher quality. But, hard to beat the Ranger's MPGs. I have vowed to never buy another Ford product after how Ford has ignored the oil dilution issue, but Ford will have to give away the dated-before-it-arrives 6G now that...

Don’t check the oil level.

Here is a 162 page thread on oil dilution https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/fuel-in-oil.4803/

After asking that my local Ford Service Center at least document that I requested they look to see if anything could be causing my oil dilution issue, this is what was written on the service order:

I just had my 2019 in for The Works plus an check engine light. I asked if Ford had changed its position on ignoring the rising oil on the dipstick. In 4,000 miles it had gone from the top of the hashmarks to above the round hole. The Ford service center's response was that there was not new...

And you know this how?

In the next three to nine months, there will be a new Colorado, Tacoma and, yes, Ranger. Ford will no longer be competing with the long in the tooth Colorados and Tacomas. The new Ranger will struggle against the new impressively styled Colorado and a new Tacoma. I will be buying one of these...

Please let us know if they do anything for you. The dealers in my area have been instructed by Ford to ignore the issue.

Check the oil level. Now. If above the top line, your only recourse is to set the truck on fire and collect the insurance money since Ford will deny that there is an oil dilution issue. They won't look into it, nor will they accept any independent oil analysis. But congrats on the truck. I...

I have found the Ford liability attorney. "Your honor, our customers are driving their Rangers in a manner the truck was NOT designed for. Some are driving short distances. Some don't drive cross country between oil changes to burn off the fuel. And, can you believe, some drive their trucks in...

I just hit 60,001 and the engine exploded due to fuel in the oil. (Not really. I am predicting what will happen in 20K miles.)

Strongly agree. I have had Weather Techs, Husky Weatherbeaters, and Husky X-Act Contours. The X-Acts are vastly superior to the other two. Well worth the money.
