2019 ford ranger lariat 97,000 miles should I sell or keep.

[Racket]

There are always wear items that will likely fail so expect them. If/when the transmission fails it's around six grand to replace though you'll get (should get) an updated one. So factor the $$$ into keeping or selling. Other issues to be wary of are potential rusting in of the spark plugs (snap! = new cylinder head cha-ching) and the destruction of the electric engine fan wiring due to the oddball rubber hose support Ford slapped in there.

I gad my AC vent box replaced as a warranty item at the beginning of summer this year and I bought the Ford ESP because of the potential trans failure. I may have the dealer do my plugs but I'm going to change the electric fan harness support update others on the forum have done. I hope the dealership is familiar with the potential spark plug getting stuck in the head issue and has a procedure.

I've got 50K miles on my 2019 and hope to go beyond 200K.

Can only comment that my'19 @ 29K is with transmission problems - back in the shop now.

The only reason why i'm light on the gas pedal is to hope and pray my tranny never goes bust but the minute is starts acting like a jack in the box, it's gone guys. Guess I'll trade it in on somethng older with a standard transmission but good luck with finding a decent replacement as I love my 2019 Ranger

I was working at a Ford dealership in 2006 as a shuttle driver, walking into the mechanics lunchroom the air was blue with screaming and shouting about the six page procedure they had to do before changing the plugs on a Ford Trition V8 ...Six Pages of prep work just to get the plugs out!!!!

I'm at 105k, will be keeping my 2019 XLT. No transmission problems. Only the heater box crapped out on me after warranty.

Have you ever changed the transmission fluid?

If you can afford a new vehicle I say trade it before the trans craps out.

Causal part number IN in this article refers to the information only status and is not able to be claimed. 1. Using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool, check for DTCs. 2. Are any of the following DTCs present? P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P0761, P0762, P0766, P0767, P0771, P0772, P2700, P2701, P2702, P2703, P2704, P2705, P2707, P2708, P0729, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P0735, P0736, P076F, P07D9, P07F6 and/or P07F7. (1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body Step 1. (2). No - proceed to Transmission Solenoid Strategy Step 1. Transmission Solenoid Strategy 1. Reprogram the existing transmission strategy download into the PCM/ TCM. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01. (1). For FDRS applications when prompted, select Transmission hardware was not replaced - Reprogram TRID strategy for the existing transmission. (2). For IDS applications when prompted, select Reprogram Only-No Hardware Replaced. 2. Perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01. 3. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after performing the adaptive learning drive? (1). Yes - proceed to Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body, Step 1. (2). No - repair is complete. NOTE: Advise the customer this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days. Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body NOTE: Affected vehicles are not main control break-in capable. 1. Overhaul (clean and inspect) the main control valve body and perform the adaptive learning drive cycle. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01. 2. Does the vehicle still exhibit the condition after overhauling the main control valve body and performing an adaptive learning drive cycle? (1). Yes, vehicles built on or before 15-Aug-2022 - proceed to CDF Clutch Cylinder Replacement Step 1. (2). Yes, vehicles built on or after 16-Aug-2022 - this article is complete. Refer to WSM, Section 307-01 for normal diagnostics. (3). No - repair is complete. NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle's computer to learn the transmission's unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.

If everything is running fine with no issues or glitches, I would keep it and change all the fluids, filters, belts, and plugs to help keep it running well. I would also look into changing out the EGR pressure sensor as preventive maintenance as it is a cheap part and takes twenty minutes to swap out and will save you some headache down the line. My Ranger I bought last year with 76k miles and now has almost 87k on it with no issues.

I think the key to owning and enjoying any vehicle long term, is NOT joining the online forum for that vehicle.

I dunno, I've been a member of this forum for almost 6 years now and I've been enjoying my Ranger for 5 1/2 years now.....

I toyed with getting a new Ranger if/when they came out with a PHEV, but I'm now planning to keep this one long term - it is paid for, I've outfitted it how I like and how it works well for me, and any increase in mileage a PHEV would give me would most likely never pay off.

Even if my trans takes a dump it will still be worth it I think.

I did some detailing last weekend and my wife commented it looks like a new truck!

There’s a maverick raptor ??? Wow I wonder what that’s gonna be like.

Thought the same thing. Looks like they may bring one out, but for 2025 it's just the tremor.

Yeah, but how would anyone ever get brainwashed into getting a damper and every 303 product under the sun?

And I was the type of guy that maybe went to a coin-op car wash once a year.

Now, thanks to this forum, I've become metrosexual and have a soap canon! =p

Hmm, now that you mention it ... =D

struttin' out to Soupie with a bag-o-303

I have not had any serious problems with the Ranger yet but only 15,000 on it. I am meticulous about servicing the truck and also have the Ford ESP warranty. I plan to keep it under warranty as long as I own it and that should cover any unknowns. I would keep any modern vehicle under warranty regardless of the model considering the high cost of repairs for the later technology. I'm taking it in for "the works" next week and will question the Service Manager about what they've been doing to take care of and fix these 10R80 tranny problems.

For the uneducated, what does all of this mean? I have a ‘21 XLT that can shift pretty rough at times and drop hard when I come to a stop.
48k+ on it right now - If it is going to have transmission issues, fingers crossed it’s in the next 12k before the warranty expires.

This thread saved my a**… Finally got the truck in to a dealer this week and they confirmed the issues. They ordered a new main control? If that doesn’t work, the whole tranny is getting replaced under warranty.
Has anyone had the main control and reprogramming done with no further issues or is it a temporary bandaid to keep it running past the factory warranty expiration?

My 2022 had the reflash done at 15900 miles which didn’t help. Then the valve body ( main control) cleaned at 16160 miles which made it throw codes. Then the valve body( main control) replaced at 16200 miles which didn’t make any difference. Finally replaced the transmission at 17750 miles and has been trouble free for the last 2500 miles.
