  1. Sudden Acceleration

    2019 Ranger with 42,000 miles. Was driving slow to park. Truck suddenly accelerated. Stomped on brakes and stopped about a foot before hitting a post. First time it happened. I don't have a floor mat, so not a floor mat issue. Is it worth bringing to dealer now or wait to see if it happens...
  2. Noise Behind Glovebox

    I get a intermittent noise behind glovebox after shutting engine. Usually after running heater, but not always. My guess is an actuator trying to open or close in the ductwork. Any one else that that problem ??
  3. Alcan Highway Roadtrip

    We towed 3,500 miles from Sacramento to Homer up the Alaskan Highway. Ranger ran really well towing a small travel trailer (R-pod). Premium gas is not always available, so I went with regular, and the Ranger ran just fine. Will use regular from now on. The small 18 gallon tank is a real...
  4. Sudden Downshift

    When making a left turn and I apply a little throttle, the 2019 Ranger suddenly makes a violent downshift pushing me forward. Scares the heck out of me. Happened twice recently on my automatic transmission. Any one else experience this and what is causing this ??

  6. Trailer Sway Control

    I'd like to understand the trailer sway control feature a bit better. Does the feature apply brakes on the Ranger, the trailer, or both ? How does the Ranger detect trailer sway ? Is there a sensor on the Ranger to detect sway ? Would appreciate any help.
  7. Premium gas towing

    Is anyone having to use premium gas when towing ? Owner's manual recommends premium during hot weather and when towing.
  8. Autobrake Elect Brake Controller

    Has anyone used an Autobrake Electric Brake Controller and what do you think of it ? It's trailer mounted, so I won't need a 4-wire pigtail under the dash. No thanks to Ford, they didn't put the 4-wire pigtail on my XL trim, so there isn't a connection point in the cab for a controller.
  9. Electronic trailer stability control

    Will be installing an aftermarket trailer brake control (Prodigy P2) and wonder if that has an effect on the vehicles electronic trailer sway control. The reason I ask is that on the Ford official Ranger accessories web site, there is an OEM trailer brake controller unit that reads "compatible...
