  1. FordPass is watching us?

    Fordpass tells me where my truck is, I assume that info comes via Ford. So Ford must always know where my truck is driving. Not sure what value that would be to law enforcement, not relevant to them. The trucks have an accident recorder mentioned in the operator's manual that law enforcement can...
  2. Finally a Ford TSB to Try and Fix our Transmission Problems (TSB 24-2046)

    Had my battery replaced recently and my transmission was hanging on gears way too long. Felt like I had no torque. Drove this way for a while then it just cleared up. 2019, transmission has otherwise always been incredibly smooth and peppy. I would buy another Ranger.
  3. Ford Ranger Sales Down

    When I try to search online inventory at my local dealer, "Ranger" doesn't even show up in the list. Maybe because they don't have any, but it seems like the Ranger is gone. Maybe the price is too high nowadays. I don't get the elimination of the 6 foot bed in the 2024 model. I love my Ranger...
  4. Anyone say, I should have purchased a different truck?

    2019. No issues. I love this truck. Would buy another for next vehicle, but I don't think I can make a 5 foot bed work for me.
  5. Dealers and synthetic oil

    Got an oil change this week and the service rep advised me I was due a 20,000 mile ethanol treatment and a coolant change at 40,000 miles. How can you expect a young service technician to respect the customers and their vehicles when they know their managers are trying to scam all the customers ?
  6. 2024 Ranger & 405hp Ranger Raptor ? Revealed! Raptor Price Starts at $56,960

    I read they only have 5 foot bed. I can't make do with less than a 6 foot bed.
  7. Light switch

    Thanks. Didn’t think it could be possible to bump it in that direction, but others are experiencing it, so I must be doing the same.
  8. Light switch

    i have only intentionally selected the automatic position on my light mode selector dial, which means it is rotated clockwise as far as it goes. Sometimes my selector changes to the lights on position which is one position counterclockwise from the automatic selection. I never intentionally...
  9. FordPass died after update.

    I picked up my truck. Recall fix wasn’t necessary. Service rep told me my modem needs to be replaced and they have it on order. When I got home, the Fordpass app seems to be working fine and connectivity is enabled on the synch display. So, very confusing.
  10. FordPass died after update.

    I chatted with “the fordpass team” and they concluded that something is wrong with my modem. It’s at the dealer today for a seatbelt recall. They said they will look into the modem. Could be a good day or a doubly bad day.
  11. Fordpass suddenly won't connect

    Who said to take it to the dealer ?
  12. FordPass died after update.

    My Fordpass seemed to have died Nov 3. That’s the last update of my miles left in tank. Remote functions no longer work. Is there a way to troubleshoot this ?
  13. Ordered a New Ranger. After reading about the numerous problems on this Forum I am not sure I made a good choice.

    I started a critical thread about the paint on my truck; there being some early scratches that you would have to know where they are to find them. Now after 2 years, I am perfectly happy with the paint and everything else about the truck. If i was going to buy a new truck today, it would be a...
  14. Ford News EV Bronco and Ranger

    So we taxpayers borrow $ 12,500 for each of us to buy an EV, then finance the remainder ourselves, rather than just financing the entire cost of the vehicle ourselves. I don’t see how this makes any sense. The original concept was to subsidize manufacturers to get quantity up to lower the costs...
  15. I'm getting my transmission rebuilt or replaced

    I saw a video where a guy dismantled the 10 speed transmission, to upgrade some parts. I had the impression if you get bored of being a nuclear scientist, you become a transmission over hauler guy. Looks super complicated. Seems like a no brainer to swap it out.
  16. I will keep my gas powered Ford Ranger until the wheels fall off.

    It’s very simple - if EVs were better than gasoline vehicles, then the government would not have to make the latter illegal or unaffordable. I really like the simplicity of the EVs. And 1 hour recharge or 1/2 partial recharge is great to alleviate worries about accidentally exhausting the...
  17. February 2021 Ford Ranger Sales

    Based on F150 sales being almost 10 times Ranger sales, I don’t see why Ford continues to manufacture the Ranger. Why keep another line, supply chain, service, warranty for another truck ? If even half those Ranger sales convert to F150, Ford would probably be way ahead.
  18. February 2021 Ford Ranger Sales

    Looks like Ford is having a rough start to 2021. Maybe it's been colder weather having an effect. I wonder if the other manufacturers are seeing falling sales numbers ?
  19. How often do you check your oil?

    I seem to have a difficult time checking my oil. I usually have oil all the way up the stick each time I attempt. Once in a while i get a discernible reading at the upper dot. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I did feel my oil level had risen once and got an early oil change. Thought I smelled...
  20. Beating other trucks from the line

    Has anyone purchased the Ford calibration tune for their Ranger ?
