  1. This is where the cowboy rides away

    The decision to trade the Ranger in was not the easiest to make. I was torn between making yet another attempt to get it fixed to get another Ranger. Unfortunately There isn't any available within 100 miles that I would have been happy with. Then there's the need for more room. This truck...
  2. AAAAND It's Leaking.... Again...

    It took multiple trips to multiple dealerships, Contacting Ford Customer Care and nearly 9 months before they finally fixed this fricken thing. All the leaks (driver's door and rear window) were supposed to have been fixed. Several months went by since I got it back from the leak fix and...

  4. Always Remember Where You Left Your Keys...

    This happened yesterday... Was working in the back yard cleaning it up from the chickens and to plant grass seed and at one point mid morning I pulled the truck forward to open the tailgate to get out the seed and seeding hay, and not thinking I set my keys on the hood of the wife's car not...
  5. Has anyone pulled the dashboard out?

    Last year in their attempt to fix a leak the dealer pulled the dash out to replace the HVAC assembly. Well since then it has developed a nasty rattle/squeak at the base of the driver's A-Pillar. It only rattles/squeaks when it's cool. After it has been baking in the sun it won't rattle any...
  6. Bad Horn Placement

    For the third time now I have driven through standing water only an inch or so deep. Wall of water shoots up, no big deal right? Nope. Every time without fail water splashes up and into the horns killing the lower tone horn completely. The dealer has already replaced them three times and...
  7. Sync 3.4.21265 Update Is Out (CyanLabs)

    Ford dropped v3.4.21265 late last week and is available on CyanLabs Updater tool. Ran the update on Monday and so far everything seems very stable with no major changes noticed. Takes about 25 min to complete the update. One thing to note so far is that I am no longer having the frequent but...
  8. Annoying Rattle From Passenger Side Area Identified (Permanent Fix Yet To Come)

    For the past several months I have had an annoying little rattle from the passenger side area at around 30-45 mph and it has taken me over a month to identify the source since it doesn't always happen either. What it's not.. Not the door panel, passenger seat belt, harness under the seat...
  9. New Rear window Defrost Not Working (I Just Can't Win)

    Just got the truck back from the dealership last week after them taking nearly two months to locate the source of the water leaks and get the parts into repair it. This morning I kick the rear defrost on and nothing. Normally the system will clear the back window in a matter of a couple...
  10. Ford Paid Research For Ranger Owners

    So I received this email from Ford the other day. Basically there's a number to call and leave a message with my name number and a unique ID that was provided. Within 24 hours I am supposed to be contacted and get everything all setup. I then take the truck to the chosen dealer and they...
  11. Strong Mildew Smell After Rain. Two Dealers Can't Find Source/Leak

    This started up about 2-3 months after I bought the truck. In warm/hot weather (10 months of the year in Houston) after just about every moderate to heavy rain shower. Open the truck up after and I'm greeted with a very strong mildew smell. I have checked every inch of carpet when this happens...
  12. Ford Issues Huge Recall On 2020 F250-F600's With 10R140 Transmission

    I know this isn't related to the Ranger but many of us may know someone with one of these trucks. Here's the link to the recall notice. By the way it's 40 pages long... They have to pull the transmission on nearly every 2020 F250-F600 with the 10R140 transmission tear it down to replace the...
  13. Carpeted Panel between Cab and Bed Holding Water

    Recently I saw this panel between the cab and bed. It is a carpeted panel with a jute backer on it and extends the width of the cab resting on a lip extending out from the cab. The issue I have with it being there is not only does it trap leaves and other trash but more importantly water...
  14. What's This For?

    So I had to reinstall the bed cover bolts after one fell out. While doing this I noticed this between the cab of the truck and bed. It's some type of shielding material similar to what is installed under the hood. My question is why is this here? Clearly from the picture one can tell it's...
  15. Suggestions To Eliminate Touchscreen Bezel Reflections

    If there's one thing that drives me nuts about the interior of the Lariat is the glossy trim bezels around the touchscreen and A/C registers. At certain times of the day when the sun is just at the right angle it reflects off the highly gloss bezel and trim rings and like a laser pointer hits...
  16. Question on Alignment After 2.5" Leveling Kit Install

    I have a question for anyone who happens to know or have the alignment report for before/after having a 2.5" leveling kit installed. Not sure if it matters on if it's a 2WD or not. How far out was the alignment after installing the leveling kit? This evening after work is the only...
  17. EU Spec Rear Fog Possible?

    While looking around in Forscan I noticed an option in BCM to enable the rear fog light option. Having had two GTI's both upgraded with EU-Spec headlight switches and wired with the additional fog light bulb got me wondering. How hard would it be to do the same on the Ranger and what specific...
  18. Fix For Squeaky Or Creaky Brake Pedal

    So this video was posted in another thread by @Quatakai about having a squeaky brake pedal. Mine does it too and not having time to take it in I decided to take a look. Well.. It's the pivot point grommet. At least mine was. If you start the truck, and lay down on the floor and put...
