Don't want to give you false hope, but when I took delivery of mine in April 2019 I was initially appalled by the mileage (measured by me, not the truck). Numbers were similar to yours. They gradually improved and I now get about 24 on the highway, 20 in the city and 18 while towing my popup...
I purchased the CPLAY2air wireless adapter and have been using it for several weeks. It works as advertised with a couple shortcomings:
Because it's a Bluetooth connection, if you get out of the vehicle it will usually lose the connection. For example, if I get out and open and close the...
My FordPass Remote Start had been reliable on the few occasions I had to use it this winter. Then, this morning when it was a toasty 8 below here in Northern Michigan, it just spun and spun without starting the vehicle. That's with both my iPhone and Apple Watch, both of which had worked fine in...
My 2019 Ranger has about 13,000 miles on it. Drive train is smooth as glass EXCEPT for one situation. To get to and from the highway I have to pass through a small town with a 25 mph limit for about a mile on Main Street. When I'm doing 25 I can sense the onset of vibration but it's barely...
I feel for you. In the early 2000s I had a new VW Jetta diesel that was doing something similar. I'd be driving along and BOING! The dash would light up like a Christmas tree. Happened a dozen times and each time the dealer assured me it was fixed. No fun.
I'm trading in a Subaru Forester for my new Ranger (I need more towing capacity). One thing I will miss is that Subaru puts the oil filter ON TOP of the engine with a handy drip tray that returns spilled oil to the pan.
I agree with Pioneer74. Turbocharging is a great solution to the old performance/economy dilemma. Light on the throttle, better MPG, heavy on the throttle, better acceleration. But there's still no Santa Claus. As a pilot, I kind of liken it to afterburner. Light that thing and WHOOPEE! But...
I also want a Bakflip MX4 for my Ranger. I talk to Bak Industries every few weeks. At first they were saying they would be available in March. Now they're saying April.
Despite him being a nice guy, I couldn't resist yanking my salesman's chain yesterday.
I told him I could've gotten a Tesla faster. It may now even be true.
Ordered mine Aug. 29 and still have an empty garage bay.
