"To the OP that certainly sucks and is a tough lesson but be sure it happens more than you would think. It just few have the guts to say so." Thanks. Well, I knew when I posted this there would be sniper shots in various forms, there always is. And that's OK, that's the way forums work. The...

The drain plug is east to get to on the pan, nothing complex there. The Oil Filter on the other hand, is not visible or touchable from either the bottom of the truck or from under the hood. It lives behind a rubber flap in the driver's side wheel well, secured by (5) plastic quik-screws. To...

Very True on the Accounting side of Sec 179, the new "Snow" Ranger was $ 48K and the $ 17K trade in would (seem) to roll in as disposal of an asset, that would seem to be a new Sec 179 deduction based on $ 31K. But it does get complicated and that's why my Accountant has all that fancy software...

Small Claims would not prevail, because I don't have a screen shot of when I ordered it in April where it said "This fits your vehicle". Also, they can argue it was improperly installed by someone who is not a Certified Mechanic. Small Claims is also very stressful - been there, done that...

Yes, about 1.6 a month is right. Maybe more. I have a lot of equipment at my home and work, do them all, plus a fleet of motorcycles and diesel trucks. It's actually been more like 54 years since I started doing my racing motorcycles at age 14, but now I'm dating myself. This was the first...

Last Friday my wife was driving our 2020 Ranger XLT when the oil pressure light came on and she pulled over immediately as the truck shut off. Upon arriving to where she was, I saw there was no oil on the dipstick. I had brought along two quarts just in case, and put them in the truck, they...

I find my Ranger 4 x 4 with Sport Package rides well. It rides better with 320 lb (8 bags) of water softener salt in the bed, but I'm not carrying that around all the time.

"probably mathematically impossible for you to wear out an engine when you change cars more often that most people change their underwear." Ha-Ha! Well, I have what you call a "collection" of vehicles, they don't go one at a time. Bad habit, but a fun one.

I've owned over 100 trucks/car/motorcycles and have never "worn" out an engine, though one particular Porsche 911 was about ready for new bearings and value guides at 227,000 miles. Run modern synthetic oils in your engine, get the oil temp (which takes about 3x longer than water temp) up to...

i have a brand new set of Gatorbacks for sale front and rear with brackets for $ 300 shipped, far less than anywhere else for a set of four. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/gatorback-mudflaps-front-and-rear-set-with-brackets-new.10157/#post-191385

Price reduced to $ 300 shipped.

Brand New, not installed. Decided they are more than I need for a truck that is not modified with a lift or oversize tires. Vendor will not take them back without a significant restock charge so here they are. Front and Rear with brackets and instructions to mount. These are serious...

I came very close to buying a used 2019 GMC Canyon that was in excellent shape, for about $ 4K less than the new Ranger XLT 4x4 I wound up with. The deal breaker and why I walked away from the GMC were: 1) Absolutely gutless 4 cyl engine. Very weak, constantly downshifting and will barely...

When exceeding payload capacity you’re at an increased risk of a tire blowout. Tires have weight limits posted on the sidewalls and exceeding them is never smart. Under normal circumstances you should be able to maintain control of your truck when a tire experiences catastrophic failure, but the...

Once you go through the prep and do a ceramic coating, you will likely never use anything else. It's fantastic. I'd suggest this from Amazon. You MUST do the prep before application, however...

I just bought a new 2020 Ranger XLT 4WD Sport and have none of those issues you mention. I would not take delivery of any vehicle that shudders, personally.
