Confidence "Boost"!?

[Floyd]

20 months so far and flawless so far. 13000 miles, about half of which has been towing.

OP...disregard those who say the Ranger is not perfect. YES IT IS! Bought June 5, 2019, 25,000 miles. Not one problem. What engine noise? (don't know what they're talking about!) Welcome & enjoy your beautiful new Ranger.

Here's another thread.

The only issue I have had in 56,000 miles is my catalytic converter just gave up the ghost. I tow a bunch. 8year/80,000 warranty on that part.

Another owner happy to report 25,000 miles and no issues at all. I've owned mine since November of 2019.

I bought my Ranger in April 2019, almost 2 years ago now.
Haven't had any problems, other than buying stuff for it.

BUT, much of that time has been spent hiding out from the plague.
Only have 5000 miles on it!

At this rate, my next expense will be new tires due to dryrot!

Sorry I couldn't be more help, enjoy your new truck.

Bought mine in late August, 2019 and have just under 24,000 miles with not one issue...nothing.


Now, my Leer topper has been a pain in my @$$ but that's another thread.

Paul, don't let those things worry you. You'll never be able to enjoy the truck that way. Remember, forums are the place for folks to go, and ask about problems, Very seldom do you see a thread titled, "I love my (insert vehicle type/name here)". Don't look back, just enjoy the ride.

So absolutely true across the board for all products and services....especially services as it seems very few people take the time to thank businesses for good service. The challenge is that it is often hard to put problems/complaints in a perspective as a part of the whole...that is why I like Yelp for restaurants...still get the butt hurt and impossible to please but there is perspective and owners can and often do respond.

My brother's a Ford dealer tech for decades. He wasn't "too familiar" with the Rangers because few of them have come in with problems. The service writer has one and my brother is planning to get one. So, I'd say they aren't exactly "ramp tramps". What he told me about the 2.3 ecoboost is that the Mustang guys pull 500 hp out of them. He said the high pressure pump is a bit noisy, and because there isn't the second FI system as with the 2.7, just DI, they can be a bit noisy at times. He hates that they have an EGR cooler. Otherwise it was a hearty recommend.

I've noticed a bit of engine noise. Not much, it's pretty quiet. But then I ride a Harley so I grade on a curve. There's an annoying buzz on the dash top sometimes. Overall I'd say the Ranger is pretty refined. Forums tend to concentrate problems. Do you come here to say, "gee, I had a trouble free month with the Ranger"? I don't because I'd worry about jinxing myself.

Hi BB,

Good to know Rangers are not hanger queens for the most part. Dash rattle is likely the defroster duct....you can search the forums here for this and how folks have "fixed" it including some dealer fixes too...

Enjoy your Ranger!
