This forum has been splendid to me, and almost everyone on here has been fantastic. I won't be deactivating my account, but I will be logging in much less frequently.
My 2020 had a trifecta of issues right after 36k miles that wouldnt be covered by warranty, or would result in an engine that I don't trust anymore, so I decided to dump it. (Stuck in defrost, electrical issue that I have already dumped too much money into diagnosing, and most recently an engine that seems to really like drinking coolant.) The last issue I know WOULD still be under warranty, but I dont want to fight with ford on a head fix, as we all know how terrible Ford service is to deal with, and they told me there'd be no fix until a full failure.
I moved to the dark side and am in a Toyota now, I do too much late night & long distance driving to be caught stranded, and my ranger lost my trust. The 2.3 & 10sp were both WAY nicer than the lazy and lethargic setup this truck has, but at least I know I wont be at the dealer every month.
I wish you all the best, and hope you all have better luck than me! See you around the bend!
P.S. For all you Front Range Colorado & Anybody between Denver & Bozeman Montana on I25 & I90, I have a whole hell of a lot of accessories to get rid of. Extra Lariat wheels with NEW winter tires on them, the topper in my photo, a rubber bed mat, old headlights, etc... that I'm be more than happy to give a fellow forum member a deal on. DM if interested in anything
