Come on man!!!! Its not just the air in the tires. Its whether they did the PDI.And this right here is why I rarely come on here. Been on forums my whole life but this one is a new kind of boring and pointless. Smh bitching about air in tires is a thread on here??? Really? Wooow
100% same thinking from me. It was a great forum when I first bought the Ranger, but now that the honeymoon/exciting period is over and I've completed all my mods, this forum isn't nearly as intriguing. Can you imagine what people think of Ranger owners, in general, if they come to the forum for the first time to research the truck and they stumble on this thread?And this right here is why I rarely come on here.

they'll probably go out and lower the air in their tires and be ecstatic about the better ride100% same thinking from me.

Well said and I totally agree.My final thoughts on this issue and then I am out. When buying a new vehicle I expect the dealer to do more than remove the sticker on the window, run it through their automated wash and then toss me the keys. It should be set to specs including tire pressure and fluids. Like I said before my tires were over inflated and as I found out later the washer fluid almost empty. I think this thread was the only time I mentioned it because it really didn't bother me that much as it was an easy fix.
Is it a huge deal worth getting upset over? No. Is it easily fixed by me? Yes. Does it it excuse the dealer for not making sure everything is what it should be? No. I don't care if it is a kid working the PDI or an engineer. When you get handed the keys for a new car everything should be checked out. There have been enough reports of over inflated tires and empty washer fluid that it seems some Ford dealers just don't giving a damn.
Maybe some of us have had bad luck. I do know that my Ranger was the only new vehicle I have bought where things like this was an issue. So it reflects poorly on Ford dealerships when things like this are frequently mentioned. Like I said in my first post in this thread. It is the little things.
Lastly, if you are not happy with delivery then you should certainly mention that when you get a survey from Ford and not just give 5 stars because you thought your dealer was nice. You are their product and trust me they don't go home and have their wife ask, "How as your day?" Then they respond, "5 stars. This guy that bought a tuck from me was so nice and friendly."
They actually argued with me when I called them out on mine. They were all over 50 psi, 50 to 55. The sales man claimed they were that high for winter conditions, I bought it on July 3rd?!..made no sense! I showed him the door sticker as well as ford pass app that calls out 30 psi..at that point he stopped spinning his b.s. and just got me a gauge from service so I could adjust myself before I left.This seems to be the most common condition by a huge margin. I suspect that dealers leave them way overinflated on the lot so they don't have to worry about airing them up, but there is little excuse for delivery in that condition. I had to argue with the service department, and ask to borrow a tire gauge, before they relented and deflated to 5 PSI over the door sticker numbers.
Now this would rattle my corn flakesThey actually argued with me when I called them out on mine. They were all over 50 psi, 50 to 55.

I have a 2020 4x4...My door sticker says 30psi. Thatās the way it was delivered.Was going to post this the other day, but forgot.
Checked the cold tire pressures the morning after bringing it home, and found them all still in the mid-40s from shipment.
