  1. 3,500 Mile Comparison: Taco v Ranger

    A while back when I dumped my Ranger and got a Tacoma, I promised an actual side by side comparison. Here it is. I've got a few tanks of gas through the Taco and about 3,500 miles on it now That's pretty evenly spolit 25/25/25/25 between surface streets, interstate commuting to work, road...
  2. This is the End. Beautiful Friend. The End. My only Friend, The End...

    More than the truck, I've loved this group. Great people and amazing knowledge. In anticipation of purchasing a Taco I started hanging out on their forums and I have to say, I won't be frequenting them unless I need to. Unfortunately the situation with the Misfire on CYL-1 and how Ford has...
  3. Ohhh The Butt Hurt. Looks like the Poopy Bus is here. LOL

    The 5G forum is full of links to 6G articles about how it costs too much, there's no Tremor, we didn't get the international versions (again) the deleted parts didn't come back, no two door option, what rear air... I don't know but it sounds like a bunch of people expected Ford to suddenly stop...
  4. Misfire on Cyl 1

    2019 Ford Ranger 38000 Miles Misfire at 4500 RPM Cylinder 1 CEL light illuminates and blinks while issue occurs but then goes out when RPM drops back under 4500. Around town easy driving there is no issue with gentle acceleration. Getting on freeway produces error accompanied by violent shaking...
  5. ISO: Rear Seat Caddy Organizer Recommendations.

    I have come to terms with the fact that 90% of the time the rear driver seat is my shit storage. I'd like to find a way to make better use of it and looking to go the drop in caddy route for a few reasons. Need three seats on a regular basis- No seat delete. Need all four sometimes too - No...
  6. Bronco - It's a No From Me...

    Recently I had a camping trip get cancelled. Well - pushed out a month to November. So I'm sitting here in my office all packed up and ready to go. My stuff occupies an area about 5'L x 2'W x 3'H. The two guys I was going with had a similar sized pile. Sitting next to this pile has made me...
  7. Continued SYNC Issues - Remote Start and Windows...

    Hey R5G Forum Folks! In the continuing saga of my SYNC Issues, I have a new wrinkle. Previously the system would all of the sudden, in the middle of a road trip, "forget" my phone. Not just temporarily not see it - I would have to go re-add it as a device and re-enable Apple Car Play. So I...

  9. Current Sync Version???

    Currently on 3.4 Build 21194 an have been for a WHILE. I try to update it and it tells me this is the current version. Then this last weekend we were on a road trip out in South Arizona in and out of areas with limited to no cell service and damn sure no wifi. One morning I go fire her up and...
  10. 4x4 Service Light - Da hell?

    I've not been off road in a while. Maybe a month? But in that month a lot of highway miles. I'm a little paranoid about how easy the shift knob is to bump so I check it as start up procedure and then at stoplights every so often. Haven't been in 4WD at all. Then I'm cruising down Carefree...
  11. Tire Chains

    I've never really had a need for Tire Chains so I never learned how to use them. And in Phoenix, I doubt I ever will. But we are on the north side of town and just 20 to 30 minutes north of us it goes from 2,000 ASL to 5,500 ASL and my daughter goes to college an hour north where it does...
  12. Is This You? Arizona / Scottsdale / Fashion Square 12-20-2021

    Passed this awesome ranger on the way out of work yesterday. I'm thinking the amount of modifications he / she has done to it, they have had to have come by this site at one point or another. Possibly a member. I'd like to know more about this awesome set up. Maybe have lunch in the parking...
  13. Truck Cell Antenna

    I posted up on this early on when I got my '19. I don't recall an answer and I couldn't find the original post via search. We've also had a lot of new folks far smarter than I join since then. Pardon the re-ask.... Is it possible to replace or amend / enhance the stock cell antenna with one...
  14. Kleinn Air Horns? A sponsor with no posts?

    Just noticed a sponsor with no posts in their forum. Are they new? Do they just not post up? Would be handy if they threw a www our way. Kinda the point of being a sponsor is getting a little press.
  15. What lights do I need?

    My mantra about the truck is keep it simple and uncomplicated. I don't buy stuff to put on it for looks. Form follows Function. But - I would like to add some lights. My driving pattern is as such (All Arizona from Bisbee to Flag): Parked because I WFH - 60% Day Pavement - 30% Night Pavement -...
  16. Tire / Vinyl Shine for Your Cans!

    I think by now we are all familiar with the ever present 96 gallon residential waste container. If you don't have one, you at least have something similar or know someone that does. Mine get dirty and nasty and I have to clean them out. I hate it. If I don't then the garbage bags stick and I...
  17. Heat and Turbo Lag Issues?

    Here lately we have gotten to the really fun part of an Arizona Summer. You know the part where it's 115°F in the shade. Air temps coming off the asphalt in full sun are significantly higher. I've seen 122°F on the dash while driving. It's so hot that the Auto Start/Stop Feature has stopped...
  18. Cost to Update Computer to Larger Tire Size - What say you?

    Twice I've asked my Ford Dealer how much it would take to update my computer to recognize larger tires and re-calibrate the speedo and MPG calculations. They aren't sure but it will cost at least $280 and maybe more. Might take a full day in the shop. Da hell? How is it that they "can't be...
  19. ISO Recommendations: Jerry Cans and Gasoline / Petrol Storage

    Apologies if this is a dupe.... I thought I posted it this weekend but I came back to see if there were any responses and couldn't find the post. If it was taken down for a violation, do let me know. Happy to comply with the rules. But I'm more suspecting I didn't post it right or something...
  20. 200 Miles - Is it still a thing?

    Use to be (late 80's through about 2005ish) I know it was a thing where cars and trucks monitored the last 200 miles of history to maintain engine performance. So if you switched fuel or made any modifications, then you had to drive 200 miles before the car really "learned" the new conditions...
