A bit of searching produced these two threads on this board. Apparently the battery in the keypad is replaceable. I'll find out for sure if/when my keypad fails to work. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/factory-keypad-failure.2491/...

I know it works for the 2019 Ranger. Only way to confirm is to try it out on her Edge.

2019 Lariat with factory keypad. The fob can be left in the vehicle and doors locked by pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 numbers simultaneously once the doors are closed. The Ranger can be unlocked by inputting the factory assigned code or your alternate code (if you programmed one). I'm not sure if...

Thanks for creating this thread and for coming back with the solution. My pre-June, 2019 build just copied your symptoms to a tee. Will have it checked out tomorrow.

All that I've read on the internet (take with whatever caution that deserves), extended oil change intervals can lead to turbo unit failure due to clogging of the intake screens with soot. While the oil if analyzed will still test good, the suspended fine soot particulates begin clogging the...

As others have stated, your Ranger can tow that camper. I strongly recommend Ford's controller, although it is a royal pain to install if you DIY. Your biggest issue will be tongue weight and keeping it within the Ranger's rather low rating of 750#. This is tongue weight before engaging the...

Good comments in this thread on many aspects of towing in addition to answering the OP's initial questions. I'll pass along something I read on the FR forum that I'm a member on. Poster said he stopped up the drain to see just how much water he used with his "Navy" showers. I've tried it and...

The Clearviews are nice but as you have stated, very pricey. I used strap-on mirrors when I was towing the TT and had no problem with them. I would cross the straps so that one was helping to hold the other in place. I bought a second pair of them on Amazon when they were less than $10 as I...

I've had the clunk for some time now and, approaching 60k, called the dealer this afternoon about a fix. I'm awaiting a call back as it was late in the day. Found your thread & video - Well Done and Thank You! I now have more information when I speak with the service advisor.

Thanks to SRAces, STVPaul and others for providing guidance for installing bed lighting. Completed the task this past weekend. My install consists of LED strip lighting commonly bought on a reel, 1/4" VBH tape to insure good adhesion to the X-Liner bed, 20awg interconnection wiring and a...

2019 was the best year for the 5g model, and hot pepper red units received the most attention to details. (from a non-biased member :sunglasses:)

If your tongue weight was only ~300# by the CAT scale on a 6,300# trailer rig, you were running less than 5% on the tongue. You were taking a huge risk with that light a tongue, especially if trailering over 50-55mph. When you rebalance and get the tongue weight closer to 10-12%, which with...

Reread Big Blue's post #7, then read it again. He posted good information. I'll add that you definitely need a weight distributing hitch (WDH) and an anti-sway system if the WDH doesn't incorporate it into its design (like the Equalizer 4 point system does). Something to be aware of since you...

@Montana Ranger , my findings with 93 octane are the same as yours regarding performance and mpg, admittedly only on Florida's flat highways to date. Pulling a 2022 MiniLite 2109s weighing ~5,300# for weekend camping and using tow mode. Poorest mpg was 9.5 with 93 octane driving 60-65, best...

Your getting 13.1 mpg is excellent for pulling a 7K RV, especially in the Appalachian hills. My camper is 8' wide x 10.5' high, creating a huge frontal area of wind resistance. I expect yours is similar. I believe you also have a 4x2 which will give better mpg than a 4x4, usually 1 mpg. On...

@Grumpaw, how are you able to travel 200 miles between fuel stops, especially if you are refueling at appx 1/3 tank? Your Jay Feather must be quite a bit lighter than my 2109s. I have to plan my fuel stops at 120-150 miles and can be as low as 1/4 tank. @ctechbob, there are no statements in...

I tested using 93 octane on a 398 mile flat highway, I-95 up Florida’s east coast. 40 gallons of fuel, 9.95mpg pulling our MiniLite at 60-65 mph. I’ll be running 87 octane after this last fillup runs out. Will report the mpg on the return trip.

My 2019 Ranger has never had a "are you the passenger" option while the vehicle is moving.

Here are the CAT scale weigh tickets on that last camping trip, along with a picture of the rig with WDH engaged.

Apologies, that was the first set of weigh tickets on the drive home from purchase. I'll post the tickets I mentioned in the above post when I get home...
