  1. Accuracy of tire pressure gauges?

    Like many, I too have wondered about the bounciness versus pressure in the tires. I read about the chalk test and tried that. What about tire brand and size? How about two-wheel versus four-wheel drive? And don't forget about options like the FX4. I have a SuperCrew FX4 XLT. The door...
  2. Rock Crawling Ranger

    Geeze, were you behind a RED CORVETTE just as you got into town on 89A? If so, that was me also taking a not-so-quick (traffic) trip to Sedona!
  3. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    Ah-ha! That helps! Any idea about a schedule? (Yeah, I know, you're probably not at liberty to say....)
  4. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    Update complete, thanks for the help! While the OTA update never happened, going the USB route got me there. And I still say the Ford instructions stink!
  5. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    Yes, thank you, that makes sense. But a "(long press seek forward on the EFP and SW)"? Is that a ten second hold of the "seek forward" button on either location or both locations? (I'm not in the truck and it's not handy to look/try at the moment.) TIA!
  6. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    Where the heck are you getting v3.4??? The only thing I see on the Ford site is 3.3.....
  7. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    Alright, I give up! What the heck to EFP and SW stand for?
  8. SYNC 3 is pissing me off!

    I've connected to WiFi, touched the check for updates item, and my system has remained on the same older release ever since I got the truck. What gives? So I downloaded the update from the Ford web site.... those instructions are MUCH more complex than they should be.... geeze, what a pain...
  9. What is the hardest thing for you to do or not do with your new Ranger?

    I WISH! I have a city-sized lot and only a two car garage and half of that is filled with tools and junk... and three vehicles! But the Vette is my daily driver... except when the snow falls.
  10. Does Octane Rating Really Matter?

    YES, it does! You should certainly follow the manufacturers recommendation, but it pains me when I hear people say higher octane fuel is better. Yes, it's made for a specific purpose, but you're wasting your money if you don't need it - it's not simply "better." With that thought in mind, a...
  11. Hard Folding Tonneau Covers

    I also had a lot of problems with the install. The instructions are not clear enough and installing the clamps took hours of frustration. After a call to their support line (during normal work hours), I got the clues to the proper location of the shims and clamps. Now that it's successfully...
  12. What is the hardest thing for you to do or not do with your new Ranger?

    Having to move it to get the Vette out of the garage.....
  13. Best Place/Price BakFlip MX4 Tonneau

    Like you, I spent hours trying to figure it out. I finally contacted TonneauCoversWorld.com and we had an email dialog. They contacted UnderCover and were told they were aware of the problem, and a new mounting kit is available.... They shipped one out to me the next day and FedEx says they'll...
  14. Undercover Ultra Flex Install

    After screwing with the clamps for hours, I finally got something that kinda worked... but I wasn't happy about it. So I checked with the vendor (TonneauCoversWorld.com), and they referred the problem to the manufacturer (UnderCover), and a problem has been identified and they're shipping an...
  15. Running tally of VIN #, order date and build date by Ranger5G member (2019 MY)

    Maybe! ;-) While I have been using my order date to determine wait time, it's probably a bit unfair. We should be using the release of the RANGER in the wild as our start date.... like the beginning of January. That said, my order went in on 11/27, and I still haven't seen that truck. Ford...
  16. Running tally of VIN #, order date and build date by Ranger5G member (2019 MY)

    LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP!!! Around mid-April I gave my dealer a multi-option ultimatum... and they ignored me. Tired of a lack of response from them, and super tired of waiting on Ford, I went looking for an alternative truck (one of the options in the ultimatum). I ordered my Ranger on...
  17. Why did you pick Ranger

    I've owned Toyota, Chevy, Honda motorcycles, Plymouth, and a few others... so no brand loyalty. That said, our most recent models include a 2014 Vette, 2017 RAV4, and before I sold it, a 1996 Ranger. After 22 years with the Ranger, I felt it was time for a new one. I looked at the Colorado...
  18. Running tally of VIN #, order date and build date by Ranger5G member (2019 MY)

    Call me tired of waiting!! Mid-April I gave my dealer an ultimatum... 1. If I don't have my truck by the end of the month, I want my deposit back, or 2. They could offer a discount to me to keep waiting, or 3. I could buy a Tacoma, or 4. They could locate and acquire a similar truck for me, or...
  19. What is everyone paying for their 5th Gen Ranger?

    While I don't have a truck yet, the tracking status on my 11/27/18 order has changed a few times. About a week ago I saw "in transit" and words to the effect it will take 12 to 28 days to reach my dealership. Then things changed and the status I saw was "awaiting shipment" and this could take...
