  1. Carvana is paying big $$

    I know when I was in the process of selling my Ranger, Carvana gave me an offer of around $26,000 for my 2019 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew. Their pricing really does seem to be all over the place. I ended up trading my old Ranger in for $28,500 from the dealership where I bought my Ridgeline. I just...
  2. I Traded My Ranger Today - So Long, and Thank You

    Well, I have already driven 200 miles in the truck. It was pouring rain on way back from the dealership. The Ridgeline handled it very well without any hesitant. It has very good acceleration and maneuverability. The infotainment system blows Sync away IMO (which maybe is not too hard to do...
  3. I Traded My Ranger Today - So Long, and Thank You

    AZScorpion - thanks for the kind words and the help you offered to me over the time I have been a member here. I went with a 'new' 2020 Honda Ridgeline AWD Sport. Got a great deal on it since it was a hold-over. I think this new truck will continue to serve my needs well considering what I...
  4. I Traded My Ranger Today - So Long, and Thank You

    My biggest reasons are my continued concern with the fuel in oil smell over the course of ownership, my continued poor fuel economy, my concern over the longevity of the engine, and finally the fact I was able to trade the vehicle in for more than I originally purchased. I know I will catch...
  5. I Traded My Ranger Today - So Long, and Thank You

    It is with a heavy-heart that I decided to trade-in my 2019 XLT Ranger today. I was offered $28,500 for the vehicle; which was about $2,000 more than what I paid for it in 2019 with the year-end rebates at the time. I am going to miss this community and all the helpful insight everyone has...
  6. Fuel in oil

    I continue to have gas smelling oil. My dipstick is consistently above the max dot when I check my oil. I have had five oil changes on my truck since ownership. I have 28k miles. Lately, my biggest concern is how AWFUL my fuel economy has been. Making matters worse is how gas prices continue...
  7. Unable to Use Ford Pass Despite New Phone (New App Download) and Multiple Master Resets

    I have been unable to use my FordPass App for months. I have done the master reset of Sync in the past, and still have had no luck. I was using an iPhone X previously. I recently received a new phone (iPhone 12. I installed the FordPass Application brand new. I did the reset of the Sync...

  10. Steering Wheel Paint Chip

    Hey everyone, Does anyone know the best way to fill in chips on the steering wheel? I am not sure how this happened, but the paint is chipping away. Not a huge deal but it is a cosmetic issue that is bugging me when I drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
  11. Just Hit 20k Miles After 10 Months of Ownership - Fuel Economy Insights

    I appreciate everyone's responses. Again, as I said in the OP, I understand a truck is not going to be the best choice for fuel economy. After reading the thread, I believe that I could change my driving habits to see if I can average even a mile better. Some factors I can attempt to change...
  12. Just Hit 20k Miles After 10 Months of Ownership - Fuel Economy Insights

    I typically use 87 unleaded, however, I do use 93 octane at least once monthly. The reason I use 87 is due to the cost of fuel with commuting to save money. The difference between 87 and 93/91 can be as high 85 cents per gallon where I live!
  13. Just Hit 20k Miles After 10 Months of Ownership - Fuel Economy Insights

    Hello All, I just hit 20k miles on my 2019 XLT Ranger. I have owned my truck 10 months (December 14th purchase of 2019). Primarily, my truck has been used to commute to work for me - I commute 84 miles a day, five days a week. I have had three oil changes on my truck to date. Although I love...

    Would you be willing to list the aftermarket items you used and/or what install guide you used to make this conversion? Thanks.
  15. Upgrading Factory 4" Sync Lite Display (300A)

    I wanted to reply to this thread for a revive to see if anyone has found any aftermarket bezels/upgrades? Just curious to see if more things have come on the market in the last nine months.
  16. Deprecation of the 2019 Ford Ranger? A Preemptive Investigation.

    I guess I was working with bad information. I thought 2021 was the re-design year. I guess I had not accounted for the impact of COVID-19. Let me be clear that I don't necessarily PLAN to sell my truck by 2021. I would like to keep it for as long as I possibly can. However, I feel like I would...
  17. Deprecation of the 2019 Ford Ranger? A Preemptive Investigation.

    First of all, mods, sorry if this should have been posted under a different sub-section of the forums. I'll be honest, I was not quite sure where this thread would fit. The genesis of this thread is very preemptive on my part as I am attempting to forecast the depreciation of my 2019 Ford...
  18. Gun Related Pictures and Chat

    Thank you for the information. I will definitely consider all of these when I feel ready to buy.
  19. Gun Related Pictures and Chat

    This may be polarizing question, but I am genuinely curious so here it goes: What is the best consumer 1911 to buy? I have heard many different opinions (and I expect no less here haha). I have wanted to purchase a 1911 for sometime. I have fired a 1943 GI US Military issued 1911 and loved it...
  20. Upgrading Factory 4" Sync Lite Display (300A)

    When I made this post, I had just called a couple local electronic/audio shops around me. All of them told me that they have not yet received the conversion kits for the Ranger and thus couldn't recommend an upgrade with aftermarket electronics. Now, I am not sure if that is still the case...
