  1. Heavy Duty's Front Hitch Build

    Thanks so much for the reply. How much for the part kit for an offset hitch? I think I'd like to order one.
  2. Falken Wild Peak A/t3W's

    I put them on my wife's Bronco Sport and they're great. I'll seriously consider them for the next tires on my Ranger
  3. NTSB wants to add speed limiters to all new cars

    🙏 May that person please get multiple Reckless Driving citations and jail time before he kills somebody. He can talk about his "Freedom" while sitting behind bars. 🙏
  4. NTSB wants to add speed limiters to all new cars

    Um, going 95+ is doing something wrong. And, of course you run straight to a Communism schtick because it's all a conspiracy and everybody's out to get you. 😆 Your gun comparison makes no sense (and check out my handle, I'm pro-gun). Your analogy would be the same as saying that we should get...
  5. NTSB wants to add speed limiters to all new cars

    I'd need more information before forming an opinion. The formula for Kinetic Energy includes velocity(squared), which means that speed has a proportionately large impact (no pun intended) in a wreck. For example, increasing one's speed from 10mph to 40mph doesn't just increase the Kinetic...
  6. Illinois Front Hitch

    Now that I found @Heavy Duty offset hitch, that's exactly what I want. Fingers crossed he makes another batch 🤞
  7. Illinois Front Hitch

    I'll take an offset hitch when they're available. Excellent design and finish sir 👍
  8. Ranger vs. F150

    The Ecoboost motors all seem to suffer similar mpg decline when towing. It doesn't seem to matter that much what you're towing. An F-150 that gets 20 mpg unladen will drop to 13 mpg with a SxS behind it and to 11 mpg with a full camper behind it, even though the camper weighs five times as...
  9. Blown Trans Club?

    I have no reason to think they're trying to keep the trans alive just long enough to get me out of warranty. My dealer has always treated me great. I'll give the reprogram a fair shake and hope it works. If not, I've got a Raptor ordered so hopefully that gets here before my powertrain...
  10. Blown Trans Club?

    UPDATE: I just went and picked up my truck. The service writer said they read the codes and "reprogrammed the valve body parameters" and asked me to drive it for a few days to see how it does. I just took it to the car wash and and then to grab a sandwich, but so far so good. Hopefully I'm...
  11. Blown Trans Club?

    None. I don't tow with it either as I have an F-350 for that, so it hasn't been pushed hard.
  12. Blown Trans Club?

    My 2019 is at the dealer with a possible tranny issue. I was climbing a highway mountain pass yesterday at 65mph when I suddenly lost power and had the wrench light come on. I couldn't maintain 55mph and it dropped down to 6th gear, which should've been 70mph in 8th or 9th gear. Once I cleared...
  13. 2024 Tacoma – Here's The New Competition! 🥊 Now With Hybrid Model

    What else do they have to promote about the 2024? Entire 30 second commercials showing rear shock placement? Heck, most guys here don't even like the exterior styling. I don't know who's in charge of "Ranger" at Ford, but they should be replaced. They're getting destroyed by Toyota, GM, and...
  14. 2024 Tacoma – Here's The New Competition! 🥊 Now With Hybrid Model

    I went and read their stuff. Not speaking on trucks here, just the level of the unveiling and the promotion by Toyota... it far surpassed Ford's reveal of the Ranger. The manufacturers clearly don't view these models with the same level of importance. Ford had one little webpage with some...
  15. Do I have a Tremor?

    Thank you, sir. It sounds like you and I are on the same page ?
  16. Do I have a Tremor?

    My thoughts exactly. I'm first in line for a Raptor at a large dealership but the more I think about it, I think I'll just keep what I have and wait for a new Tremor, hopefully with a 2.7L or PHEV. My current truck does everything I want it to do. I don't see the reason to "upgrade" to a...
  17. Do I have a Tremor?

    My tires are actually .3" taller and, IMO, the KO2 is better than the Grabber. I also prefer a skinny taller tire (there are scientific articles that explain why they're better in most situations if anybody is interested.) As mentioned, I have the Ford Performance front shocks, which may or may...
  18. Do I have a Tremor?

    Serious question... How is a Tremor functionally different from what I have? I have a 2019 Lariat Sport FX4 with a locking rear, Terrain Management, Trail Control, front air-dam delete, Ford Performance Off-Road Leveling Kit and BFG KO2 255/75/R17 tires. If I were to trade my truck in for a...
  19. No AM radio

    I read somewhere that many electric vehicles don't have AM because it interferes with the car. That likely contributed to removing AM from ICE vehicles as well, as part of Ford's part simplifying plan. Edit...
  20. Is it me or does the base Ranger seem "too tall"

    I feel like these "step on the tire and pull yourself up" instructions are somewhat akin to a how-to for opening a closet door - "grasp the door knob with a single hand, twist the knob, and pull towards you." Is this not common sense? Do we have fellow Ranger owners circling their truck in the...
