Hi everyone,
I got my 2019 Ranger in July of 2019, and I haven't used it much (I drive a 200 mile round trip every 2-3 weeks, all highway). I noticed a few weeks back that the truck wouldn't start, and so I figured it was the battery. I got it jumped and it started up right away. I drove it a lot, and figured it needed to be driven to recharge the battery. Well, again, this week (after 2 weeks of not moving the truck) the battery appears dead, as it will not start. Now, I imagine that this is likely a faulty battery? I have several cars (early 2000s and late 90s) that I do not drive for months at a time, yet the batteries on those do not die as quickly as this one did. Does the ranger have a lot of electrical systems in place that draw on the battery when the truck is off? I'm just not understanding why the battery would be completely shot after only a year of use, if I only drive it 200 miles every few weeks.
