The old adage of "if you want something done right, do it yourself" rings true here! I've always changed my oil in every vehicle I've owned and after a few years of doing it in the Ranger, it takes like 20 minutes and I have peace of mind that its been done right and everything is where it...

Man this is so sick. I stumbled upon your build through another thread and I had to come and check things out. I started in VWs in my early driving years, big turbo swapped my GTI. My Subaru, big turbo and all the fixings. We recently installed a pro-charger on my C5 Z06. I love this so much. I...

I have a Garmin Mini. It's small and does what I need it to do. I like it and have recommended it to others.

Ah mate, Id be hard pressed to assume this is any sort of transmission issue! As others have stated, plugs and coil packs. And the DPFE Sensor failure has been a huge thing and symptoms are almost as you describe! Good luck! https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/bucking-surging-epidemic.14581/

Really nice looking trucks, honestly. They look as off-road capable as any other. Between these and the new Colorado ZR2, some pretty legit mid-sized trucks on the market right now.

Honda FIT! Vtec, manual, 4 doors, peppy off the line, great gas milage, and its a Honda!

I have a '19 with just over 70,000km and I haven't had any transmission issues. I do plan on getting the fluid and filter changed soon as it does see severe service use. Even after reading all the stories on the forum about the transmissions, I am not really concerned about it. Like people have...

Unhook your battery and let the computer reset itself. Then take it for a drive. 4x4 is only activated with the selector knob, therefore 2 wheel drive is always the default.

Definitely brush up on the warranty info. https://performanceparts.ford.com/download/PDFS/fpp-warranty.pdf "This Performance Packs and Components Limited Warranty begins upon installation and registration of the part(s) with Ford Performance and remains in effect for the balance of 36 months or...

As much as I do hate the little things, like you've described, the key ring, the no engine cover on base models, etc etc. I often think about how manufacturers will do anything to save a buck. And how these trucks are built is a testament to that. But after a few years and 70,000km, its a nice...

I work as a contract hand faller in BC, Canada. The Ranger has been busy hauling myself, saws and gear around for the last month or so. Usually the smallest truck out there but that just means I can get further into the bush before I have to start walking!

Check when cold and on a flat surface. Pull the dip stick, wipe it clean, re-insert and pull again to check the level. Pull slowly and with purpose. I never check the oil if the truck has been running within the last couple of hours. I always check in the morning, usually every week or so.

What will he be using it for? Is it a commuter vehicle? Will it be used as an actual "truck"? As others have mentioned, # of owners, previous accident, milage all areas of concern. A deal is great, but at the expense of longevity of life? Not so great. If it were me, I would personally keep...

I bought a $600 4 panel hard tonneau. It is definitely a $600 cover, but it functions perfectly fine and keeps things dry for the most part. I'd say go for it. I didn't want to spend over $1k on something, so I went cheap. So far its been more than adequate.

Pretty common practice for a dealership to sell a new vehicle to a staff member only for them to "return" it with less than 1000km/miles so then they can mark it up and sell above MSRP. Happens all the time here in Canada.

This is legitimate real world testing. These trucks are designed for truck use, but built to be driven on the road with the occasional off-road excursion. Where they beefed up some things (frame, suspension) they, in turn, cheap out on others (like switches, electronics, fasteners etc). I've...

I swapped from OEM tires to an E Load Rated slightly larger size. Some roughness noticed when I first swapped them, and they did feel "heavier" when accelerating an turning but after maybe 8 months on them, hardly notice anything anymore. I wouldn't hesitate to switch from 4 ply to 10 ply. If...

first step would be to double check everything is tight and torqued to whatever specifications it should be.

in all my years of driving numerous vehicles, cars and trucks alike, I have never once found a need for the wipers to be on the highest speed setting. And I live in the PNW. Where are you getting these downpours that require such wiper speed ?
