  1. Brake wear

    I know it's been said before, brakes on the Ranger are generally short lived. In all my pick ups, suv's and cars, I've never had the rears wear out first. Usually I get 80k or so on rears. My driving habits are the same, so I'm interested in what your thoughts are as to why they wear out easier...
  2. Alignment

    I have a 2019 Lariat, and when I go for an alignment, I'm told they don't have specs for a level truck. They say they'll do their best. Does anyone know the alignment specs for a leveled 2019, and would you please share? Thanks.
  3. High milage tires

    Looking for a set of summer tires. I do not go off road, other than dirt roads to get home. Original tires had plenty of traction, just didn't last 36K. I drive conservatively, use truck as daily driver with light hauling. Looking to improve milage without sacrificing handling in rain. Any ideas...
  4. What's new viewing

    OK, maybe I hit a button, but can't seem to find out where/how... When I click on a topic, it brings me to the first page, not the last reply I read. Any help appreciated

  6. Ordering discounts

    We will be lookingat new vehicles sometime in future. I've seen many people post about this discount or that... Plan X Plan A etc... What does that all mean? Who is eligiable? How do you get them? Are they only valid on ordered vehicles? Any addition info would be appreciated.

    I have original, front only, black carpeted mats. Used about 100 miles. New condition. $30
  9. HVAC controls

    I'm having trouble seeing the control panel in all times of day. For whatever reason, I prefer using those controls over the info panel. Has anyone come up with a way to make the button more visable? Ive seen the psot with the wood grain stick on, while it looks cool, and seems to make the...
  10. Vermont Sold: WTS 2021 Bronco Badlands tires and wheels

    I just bought these 2021 Bronco tires, put on about 50 miles, but wife has enough trouble getting in truck. The extra inch was too much for her. I bought with 25 miles, so they are basically brand new. You can still make out the white stripe on tread. This is a 5 tire/wheel combo, with TPMS...
  11. 303 Protectant

    I've seen some on here use this product. I've been using Mothers (or McGuires) conditioner and have been happy with it. I'm about out, so time to buy. O'Reileys has 303 on sale, and am considering it. Website says it not the greasy kid stuff we all used in the 70's. My only concern would be does...
  12. What rims crossover

    Been looking for take off wheels and tires for some time. I have a 2019 Lariat. From what I gather... New Bronco rims will work except the sport. All newer model rangers will fit. I "heard" F150 will fit, but can't confirm. I don't care about 17" or 18" Is there a referance chart out there...
  13. Pop ups

    Is it just me, or has anyone else started getting TONS of pop up ads? Very annoying, scroll, delete, scroll, delete. Not just a few, I'm deleteing a couple each page I read...
  14. To each their own

    I was on Block Island for a few days and saw the Maverick up close and driving by. Looks like a rolling brick. Very squared off and black trim on white truck made it look worse. Saw a Hyundai Santa Cruz pick up, which I think is direct competition, and the looks blew it away. I have a 2014...
  15. Painting running boards

    I have a set of running boards from N-Fab that I installed a little over a year ago. Look great, helps wife get into truck. Living on a dirt road, fine sand/pebbles (very small, I don't consider a pebble) have sand blasted the boards to the point I should repaint. I thought the powdercoat would...
  16. New On road tire recomendations

    Looking into new sneakers for the truck. I live on dirt road, and my driving is about 70 - 30 on road to dirt road. While I'd like to think I'll go off roading, I really haven't done any in my first 2 years that require off road tires. (mainly dry and wet or 4" deep mud dirt roads) I have...
  17. E 15 gas

    So, on the news this morning, our Prez is considering changing the fuel formula from winter mix to summer mix, AND making it E15. The gas I buy is normally E10. Along with lower milage, what else can I expect? Does anyone add any additives to combat Ethanol? Or is it a non-issue?
  18. Vermont WTB 17" wheels

    I'm looking to buy a set of 17" wheels with sensors. I prefer Sport wheels, but will consider any deal including tire/wheel combos...
  19. Climate control lights

    Has anyone come up with a way to illuminate the climate control panel? I can only see the buttons at certain times of day. I know someone installed a woodgrain overlay, which looks awesome, just not for me. It is very distracting to drive while changing the temp/fan/mode.
  20. Winter tire recommendation

    OK, I tried, I really did. No lie, spent over an hour searching and reading. Live in upper VT. On dirt road, atop a mountain. Snow sticks around, and drifts on my road. I do 60/40 highway and dirt roads. I'd like to run taller thinner snow tires. Currently running stock tires, 17, which did...
