If I have a slightly slanted driveway, which truck orientation is better for more complete oil drainage? So far i've always done nose higher, but not sure if I should flip it for the next one.

I'm looking for a center console pad to lift up the console surface by ~3", for better elbow rest. Like the door elbowrest, they're low for me. What console pad do you use? I tried a few Amazon ones, but they're too small and don't fit the ranger center console...

Has anyone ever gotten the "No GPS" symbol in Sync3? If so, do you know what causes it? It stayed on until I got to my destination (20 minutes), and then didn't appear when I turned the vehicle on the next time. I was driving under open sky.

Where do you all get OEM wiper inserts to replace your worn ones, ie just the silicon insert part? This is an example of the OEM wiper+insert, but i'm only looking to replace the insert. Does any silicon insert of the right length work, or only motorcraft ones?

Been confused about this for a while. There are a total of 4 temperatures listed on sync 3 and the dash, but I think none of those are the actual internal cabin temperature. Dash: climate setpoint Sync3: 2x climate setpoint (driver/passenger), 1x outside air temp Am I missing it, or there is...

I'm looking to improve mpg on my 2wd '21 XLT (i've posted on here about its terrible 18 mpg highway mileage, and tried a dozen things to fix it with all your help, with no success) Is there an aftermarket exhaust / downpipe combo that's just as quiet as stock? I live in a quiet neighborhood...

Referring to the technical manual, it says the following for stock iridium plugs (as indicated by 12405) Spark plug: 12405 Spark plug gap: 0.0295 in (.75 mm) But everywhere I look online, people say 0.030" - 0.032", with the "default" being 0.031. Is the manual not to be followed? Or does it...

I'm (yet again) taking my '21 XLT to the dealership, this time for MPG issues. MPG has always been really bad on this vehicle even when new, about 19-20 mpg highway (hand-calculated) at 65 mph and no wind, and stock 2wd. Adding a topper and new tires didn't change mpg. Without any alteration...

The FX series includes inclinometers (angle measurements) in the off-road screen. (i know it can be enabled for non-FX as well) But i'm not sure why it's useful off-road. Is there a spec for approximate maximum allowable sideways tilt angle for a stock FX vehicle, before it starts to tip over...

Is the top of the windshield supposed to be flush? The body shop ford contracted out for my mold issue (see that thread), as well as a wind noise issue, said they noticed that the windshield wasn't flush with the top of the cab. Is this normal or abnormal? Sorry for the low resolution photo --...

I just found huge mold in sound insulation and carpet liner (I removed the trim to show...it's covered normally) How could this occur at that spot? It's in such an odd location. I haven't spilled anything, but there were large rains in california this winter. I'm assuming this is warranty...

A month ago my driver's side window started making a small whistling sound between 30 and 45 mph, somewhere around. It's at the top, near the back but hard to locate, but not sure if door or window issue. It wasn't there before -- it was dead quiet before at 30 mph. I took it in for warranty...

I saw @AzScorpion's post on the 6g forum, and was curious if anyone's had a Revelco Anti-Theft device installed in their 5g? If yes, how do you like it? The website is super outdated, so I'm trying to understand how compatible it is with modern vehicles. 1) What connections does it actually on...

Does anyone have the wiring diagram (connector output) for the center console's button panel? I'm on sync3 (XLT). I removed the button PCB to see if i can tap into the recirculation LED and button, to make a device to automatically "repress" (in electronics, not physically) when recirc is off...

Some of you may have seen in my various threads, that I've been trying to find a way to keep recirculation from turning off every 5 minutes. (Smoke, smog, etc reasons). Since documentation says keeping recirc On is contingent on humidity readings, my strategy was to trick the truck into...

Does anyone have photos of the air mixer and blend door? It's related to my attempts to tackle the cabin leakage issues i posted about eg here. i've narrowed it down to what I think is the HVAC output -- vs leakage through gaps, or the rear air-escape vents. But, in order to know how i might...

For the march 2022 recall (21C24, or NHTSA 21V756), is the replacement folding headrest the same as the 2019 folding version, eg this one? I have a 2021 that came with fixed headrest, and given the time/etc dealing with the dealers, i might just purchase them. But, if the new headrest is...

Has anyone cut a full-size door lock key? If so, where did you do it? I have a separate alarm keyfob, and want to ditch the large Ranger fob -- instead just have a normal car key. But I can't find a place to cut a normal Ford key (ie not one that attaches to a fob)

I went to an offroad location for the first time to explore the (limited compared with 4x4) capabilities of my FX2 2WD. I was on Beginner and Moderate trails, usually moving as slow as a 2WD would allow. After about two hours I noticed a subtle "clunk" in the steering, when i turned the wheel...

I went to an offroad location for the first time to explore the (more limited) capabilities of my FX2 2WD. I've been light offroad on fire roads, etc., but not more. I have some questions below :) My goal was to understand better the limits of 2WD w/ locking diff ranger. Preview: I didn't find...
