High Mileage Ranger Report

[ZCoker]

What can I say, nearing the 95,000 miles mark on my 2019 XLT and all is good...or should I say absolutely fantastic! I've had zero zip nada...not one single issue with this truck. It has seen the worst of roads. In fact, I drive it weekly off-road down here in the Florida Everglades. The engine is perfect, runs just like the first day off the show room floor. I've had no issues with anything else on the truck, either, not one single hiccup. Everything is functioning as good as new. I've performed routine maintenance with regular oil changes through my local dealer, the works package which includes tire rotation. Everything on the truck is bone stock, including the tires. Gas mileage is holding steady at 26.5 on the rural roads of Palm Beach County, going back and forth to work--city driving. Not bad at all! Can't ask for more as far as reliable is goes, imho. Both my previous F-150's had some issues by this point. And I've heard of horror stories on here from others with their Rangers but I just can't see any of that happening with this truck here. Knock on wood or just good luck or maybe my driving style, all is holding steady. Hope the same with others!

Wow, talk about a fantastic endorsement! Thanks for sharing how well your Ranger's been doing!

Now we need a few pics please. =)

That's great to hear Zane! With the amount of transmission issues popping up it's nice to see a positive post. lol Although once Sid sees that you're closing in on the 95K this thread could take a different turn.?

I haven't even given the transmission a thought lol. It shifts like butter, always in the correct gear. It's really the last thing on my mind. Hard to imagine it going out or giving problems.

Congrats! You have 2,289 miles left on you transmission... ?

Well, I’ll bite….what seems to be the big problem with the transmission?

Might've been a one off flaw but mine was butter smooth all the way to up till 95,000 miles...then it started to go down hill and never recovered...a few months later, it had completely failed and needed a complete replacement...?

How in the world are you getting over 26 mpg? Granted I have a Tremor and now with the performance pack, but was only getting 17.5 pre performance and now 16.2 afterwards.

Well, I have not experienced any transmission issues of any sort on my truck. Not to say that it won't never happen but I highly doubt it based on driving around daily. Sorry you had the bad luck with yours.

From day one I've always gotten fantastic mileage. Maybe it's the flat roads in Florida, I don't know. I use the truck hard, too, hauling around a kayak long distances out in the Everglades for bass fishing tournaments. It sure feels nice on the wallet!

keep it under 60 'Murican speed units (or 372kph for the others)

I wish you a flawless run and never have to face what I had...like I said, mine was perfect up till 95K...

Thanks for the progress report. Non events are rarely reported and it skews the impression of how reliable these trucks usually are. In 18 months of ownership my truck has given me zero problems. My wife’s 2022 Lexus has been in the shop three times.

 

[KJRR]

Glad to hear everything is working fine.
I'll second the 'non events' report. It's rare anyone mentions when there are no problems so you only see the bad things being reported.

And pics would be good. As long as it isn't blue.

 

[Hickesy]

You're still on the same tires? Or did I misunderstand that?
