It wasn't on this thread, it was one for locking gas gaps.

Not clear on what your referring to, this is my 1st post in this thread, so I couldn't have made any big or small deal. Anyhow my truck appears to sit level.

Yeah, but that's because the bed came twisted from the factory. It might be bolted straight on the frame but I can't tell.

See post 32. Some sort of shift in the space-time continuum... or maybe just thread drift.

Someone is still talking about a gas cap thread. Long since over all that.

heres the ride height info from the manual if anyones interested

You're just confusing the issue with facts...?

So the spec is 8 mm, which is a hair over 5/16". I'm betting there has never been a Ranger roll off the assembly line that meets that specification.

Is that a big deal.. not really. But why make a specification, not meet the specification, and not revise either one?

IF YOU STAND BEHIND MY TRUCK PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND THE RIGHT REAR SITS HIGHER THAN LEFT....KINDA AGGRAVATES ME CAUSE ITS ABOUT AN INCH. DONT TELL ME ITS GAS TANK AND STEERING COLUMN...BECAUSE MOST OF EXHAUST IS ON PASSENGER SIDE ETC.... DONT BUY THAT AT ALL... MOST ALL VEHICLES HAVE TANK AND STEERING ON DRIVERS SIDE AND THEY DONT SIT CROOKED... JUST CURIOUS IF OTHERS NOTICED THAT AND IF THERE WAS A FIX OR PROBLEM FOUND.. THANKS

I have a 2020 Ford ranger does the same thing

Fuel tank was empty with 1 gallon of gas in it and it’s still leans it’s lost an inch height or better on that side the word shims are supposedly the fixer vibration issue and she has a freaking joke my truck is getting worse now I got a hold of BBB somebody from Ford called supposed to be getting back to us about it basically we got a shit truck

The problem is on the Board of Directors where I live just so happens that one of the directors works for the Ford dealership where we bought it from and they’re not gonna do nothing to fix it

awesome I found seven body points that are not lined up properly that is not just misguided Mondays either something was done to this truck from bumper the right side cab to fenders to the cabinets self to the bed also I’ve been researching iconic silver sport 4 x 4 rangers majority of them do not have blue pinstriping they don’t come like that so pretty much they’re covering up something

also the fact I ran two different reports on my truck the same Vin number I came up with two different colors how is that possible it’s not

cry havoc let’s snuff the dogs of war that’s what I’m thinking about doing on a lighter note it’s 22 miles to the gallon so he didn’t lie about that ?

Seems cut and dry to me. With a full tank of fuel the truck should not be off side to side by more than 8mm per Ford. If that was the spec when your truck was built, that is the spec they should fix your trucks to. Seems they can't deny being out of their own published spec.

i just dont see gas tank as any issue... 1st a slap full tank of gas is only 108 lbs... second our exhaust system is on opposite side which would have to offset weight.. third..probably 90% of all vehicles made have the tank on driver side... so they all should lean and they dont.

Agreed, but it does for some reason. For 4 months I had a '20 Lariat SCab with 1200 miles that was nearly an inch lower on the driver side with a full tank. With the tank near empty it was less than half an inch difference. It also had the leaf shim BTW. It was scheduled to go in for service, but during the weeks out it was scheduled I learned of this crazy truck market and got 5k more than I paid for it. I really liked the truck except for that quirk and there was nothing else I'd rather have had so I bought a '21 with a Tremor package and it is perfectly square side to side front and back. Never had a chance to have it corrected sorry to say. Basically cost me nothing to get rid of the problem rather than wait for them to fix it if come maybe. It was holding me up form doing the FP Fox 2.0, wheels, and tires. Wound up with a year newer truck, Tremor package and a Super Crew for no money out of pocket.

What did you find when you measured your truck?
