VIDEO HERE: https://youtu.be/bHV226eNrBA Made it through Stampede Pass in the Ranger last weekend. Did the whole trail in 2WD. I have a FX4, but I wanted to demonstrate that it was doable for those without 4x4. Great trail for people looking for an off road day trip from Seattle. Did get me...

Hi everyone, few of you might remember me from back when the Ranger launched, I was roasted quite a bit on the forum... Anyways, made a video highlighting 2 years of ownership! Two years of adventure with the Ranger

Yea if it was really dirty and near the farmers market that was probably me.

I actually really like my tailgate pad: It does block the rear camera though :frown:

Went out on what I believe was NF-7710 last weekend. Had a blast and got some nice pictures.

Very unlikely to break 400 between fill ups without getting really low. Almost 5k miles here and I've beat EPA estimates on every car I've owned except the Ranger. 360 is realistic with the 4x4, I expect 380 will be possible with the 4x2 with 90% highway at 60 MPH, but 400 is really pushing it...

Saw another for the first time in West Seattle. Looked exactly like mine except it had the chrome package.

Yep! Ended up being a nice ending.

Based on your location it looks like you're in a pretty rural location, I'm assuming you're not in a lot of stop and go traffic? What's the weather like there?

Seattle area. Think I might have had one of the first Rangers in the state of Washington.

I made another video going over why your MPG rating in the Ranger might not line up with the EPA rating The TL;DW version: - Idling or remote start will noticeably hurt MPG - The idling MPG dent is mitigated by auto start/stop - Auto start stop will only be enabled if 10+ conditions are met...

I'm at 4500 miles so I don't think I'm in the break in period anymore. Plus my MPG as reported by the computer is roughly 3 MPG lower when not using start stop, which I would say is significant.

I get 26+ when I stay out of the city and auto start/stop is working. FX4 here.

Just went though this in a video I posted recently. There's about 10 conditions that must be met for auto start stop to work. Battery must be fully charged, cabin must be warmed to desired temp, electronics can't be pulling too many watts, front defroster must be off, wheels cant be turned too...

Just doing spot checks, but even in this thread it seems the discrepancy is between people in colder climates + stop and go traffic, vs those in warm climates + highway driving. I really think this engine uses an above normal amount of fuel when idling. Thankfully this truck has auto start/stop...

Yes I am aware of how MPG is calculated. My point is that it seems that this truck uses a lot more gas when idling than other vehicles with similar power plants.

It just seems much more substantial than any car I've driven in the past. Never noticed this in my WRX.

I can watch my MPG drop as I sit at lights, even when I already have 100+ miles on the trip my MPG can drop a few decimals when idling for only a couple of minutes. Also noticed if I use remote start and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before taking off that it is sometimes up to .5 MPG off from...
