  1. Not a Ford Guy

    I was in the same boat. Drove a Tundra for years and was a loyal Toyota/ Subaru guy. When I was shopping for a new truck I knew I wanted a midsize truck and looked at everything and spent hours upon hours researching. Within 2 minutes of driving it I knew it was my next truck. 62,000 km in and...
  2. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Took my Ranger on a camping trip almost 80km back on a FSR to a pretty spectacular place. Already looking forward to getting out again
  3. Anyone have a truck cap (ARE V Series) and camp in the bed?

    I have a supercab (6' bed) with a canopy and a "Decked" drawer system that I use specifically for camping. Ive spent multiple nights in it last year and just got back from 2 nights in it. With the drawer system, there isnt a ton of head room but its actually a very cozy place to sleep, and my...
  4. Rangers in SNOW

    Just took this photo after backcountry skiing yesterday. Our snowpack is officially one Ford Ranger deep
  5. Rangers in SNOW

    Yeah we've been getting a record breaking amount of snowfall this year, cant drive around town without seeing at least one transport truck or car struck in a snowbank or ditch. Ive used my dynamic recovery rope 4 times to pull people out in the last 2 weeks. I just keep it and the shackles on...
  6. Rangers in SNOW

    We've had lots of snow in Interior BC the past week and my Ranger has been enjoying it. Heres a photo I took on the way home from skiing the other day. What you dont see is the nearly 1M base under the soft top layer. 4wd with rear locked and it feels unstoppable.
  7. My 2020 FX4 overland and multi-purpose build

    I just had a look at my mileage and I am getting 12.1L/100km or about 20mpg. Definetly not good by any means, but I also live in a very steep mountainous area and commonly gain and lose a few thousand meters elevation each day with it, and it spends alot of time in 4wd. The roof rack system does...
  8. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Just got back from an unforgettable trip in my Ranger. 3 days and 2 nights in one of the most beautiful areas of BC, you can drive right into the Alpine and camp at over 7000 feet. 4LO, diff lock, air down, had to use all the tricks on Day 1 to get up into this area but I was impressed with how...
  9. 4Lo how fast?

    Take this with a grain of salt, but ive always used 4LO in situations that 4high just wouldnt cut it, a good example is the most recent time i shifted from 4HI to 4LO, was driving up a very very steep gravel/shale road when backing back down due to loss of traction just wasnt an option. Also...
  10. Show me your best pictures of your Ranger.

    I'll add to this because I love photography and I love my Ranger! Heres a few older photos because I am at work and dont have access to my personal computer
  11. to all LEER CAP owners

    Ill just add my two cents here, but my experience has been the complete opposite. The only issue I had at the time of order was the canopy dealership wanting full payment up front, but couldnt promise the canopy for at least 3 months as they told me that Leer would need to basically create new...
  12. Ughhhhh. Brakes.

    At 19,000 km on my '20 Ranger and ive had my rear pads/rotos and calipers replaced at the dealership under warranty. I never noticed any sort of issue other then the odd bit of squealing when braking, but the dealer said that the passenger side rear caliper was half seized. They replaced...
  13. Rotor Rant

    I have 19,000 km (about 11,800 miles for non-Canadians) on my '20 Ranger and never noticed that I had a issue with my rear brakes. Took it to the dealer for a scheduled oil change and they ended up replacing the rear pads and rotors no questions asked, and stated that the rear right caliper was...
  14. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Just got back from the first camping trip in my Ranger. 3 nights spent in it, 2 nights camped on the lake with some quality offroad trails around to explore, and 1 night spent in mountain bikers heaven. Looking forward to many more nights spent away
  15. Prinsu Designs or Rhino Rack Backbone

    For what its worth, I find my Prinsu topper rack to be extremely versatile and in general I love it. Its pretty pricey for what it is, but its made really really well, install was easy and it has a very low profile. You wont regret the purchase
  16. Show me your Topper!

    Leer 100XR like above, second picture shows the inside room available with my camping set up. surprisingly comfortable and a nice spot to sleep.
  17. Carrying a mountain bike off road - best solutions?

    Yeah thats right, the rack on my cab is a yakima aero cross bar set up that fix to the cab. Overall they are very solid and i have a basket mounted to it. As far as being a roof rack goes, I find my Prinsu topper rack much more useful and multi purpose, but if you are looking at mountain bike...
  18. Carrying a mountain bike off road - best solutions?

    Ive used many different bike racks over the years and can rant and rave about quite a few of them. On my '20 Ranger I am using a Yakima Holdup Evo 2. I live in BC and mountain bike close to everyday (not quite, but i did mtb 165 days last year, and had 2 months off due to an injury). Of all the...
  19. Roof Racks

    strange! I guess when it comes to online, you usually only really hear from people who arent happy with their purchase unless you come on to a forum like this. I have no affiliation whatsoever but I can just speak to my real world review with the Prinsu rack, it came with an extra crossbar and...
  20. Roof Racks

    I am running Yakima cross bars with a Yakima basket on my cab, and a Prinsu topper rack on my canopy. For what its worth, I havent found many real world functions for the Yakima basket yet and wish I would have went with a Prinsu canopy rack for my cab as well. The Prinsu is infinitely more...
