Close. I get 14.5 mpg city/offroad and 17 - 18 on highway. I live in Commiefornia so it really hits the wallet. Gas around me is averaging around $5.00 for 87. Some are as high as $5.50 within a mile from here. I gas up from Costco and Sam's Club every chance I get. But it beats needing a Tesla...
Update:
New transmission is good. Just came back from a 2 week trip. Drove 3,300 miles up the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington and back down on the east side of each state. I climbed....a lot! did some offroading on the beach and on the trails. Went through the desert, snow caped...
Nope! That crowd is way to Big. I roll with my local SGV Overland Bound group.
As for events I would check out Festivus, OLAF, WOR (Weekend Offroad/Socal Overland) and Pure 4X4. Lots of events will use Holcomb Valley Ranch as their staging area.
I go to Big Bear often. There are some fun trails and a ton of camping. You can find some big events up there for Overlanders too. There's a group of Rangers in SoCal that go out often if you wanted to roll with them. Maybe I'll see you out there!
None. I called a dealer asking if I could take it in to have the transmission flushed and they said no. The guy would not let me bring it in. He said that it wasn't needed and they were too bust to take me in anyway. Crazy huh!
No idea! The dealer offered to file a claim stating that they may kick in a portion of the cost or all of it. I do feel rather blessed. But at the same time annoyed that it went out in the first place
I have an RSI on mine and love it. GFC is a good option with the popup. Without the popup it's just an average topper with bars right in the middle of the doors blocking full access to your bed. Another solid option for a popup is SuperPacific X1. Friends have both and I much prefer the...
So.......Add me to the list of transmission failures. I just had mine replaced.
Here are the details or lack of details from Ford.
Milage - 63k. Just 3k over the warranty.
Total Cost - $7,838.26. Ford kicked in with a 60/40 split. Ford paid $4,702.96. I paid $3,135.30.
Why not cover 100% of...
How do I get in on this? My Ranger is currently in the shop for "Transmission" issues. It has been in there for 3 weeks now. Apparently, we're waiting on Ford to make a decision on whether or not they will contribute towards the repair/replacement. Technician had recommended a replacement. If...
I ordered mine directly from the manufacturer. It was on sale then. No broken hardware or issues. I put a lot of weight in it and it held up well.
Inside I had:
ARB single air compressor
6 ton hydraulic bottle jack
ARB hose and inflator
Safe Jack extensions
I wired a couple of 12V plugs also...
