I traded in my 2020 Ford Ranger 2wd today

[Dr. Zaius]

Just bought mine Friday and noticed the dealer had them pumped up to 45 and on board was saying recommended 30. Any reason why they do this? New to Ranger community!

They seem to come from the factory like that and the dealer should let it out, but never do. There's been talk about it, but I think the answer was the factory uses high pressure to set the beads on the tires... or, something like that.

Mine came at 40 and about shook out a kidney. 30 is much better.

I think it's primarily so that the tires don't get flat spots while sitting.

Google result...

Tires are overinflated during the shipping process, so as to help prevent flat spots from forming in the tire as it sits for days on end during the shipping process. It is supposed to be part of the delivery check process that the service department deflates the tires to the proper pressure.

I heard that, too. I think Phil said it was mainly to seat the tire bead, but I have no idea.

I want to do the same thing -- have a 2020 fx2 302a and I love it but Id really like the 4x4 just In case and I really miss my adaptive cruise (have it on the Subaru and its awesome). but my wife would literally (really) kill me! cause she gets the next new car but id love to see what they'd give me for the 2020 ........ one reason why I change my own oil - if I stop at the dealer. of course if I go the same color I wonder if shed notice?????

So.............what kind of damper do I get? What brand? Adjustable model out there? What color? What mods do I need for it?

My wife was on board b/c the trade in on my vehicle was so good.. plus she may of felt a little bad b/c she talked me out of 4x4 the first time and I haven't shut up about it since lol.

I paid $1087. But I didn't go to a 4x4 though.

I went from a 2020 XLT 301A FX2 to a 2021 XLT 302A non FX2 with the black appearance package, so I gained some nice features such as the spray in bedliner, step boards, the 302A package additions, and better riding 18 inch tires with the black rims.

Glad to hear these are nice riding. Are they A/T's or A/S's ? I'm planning to upgrade to this black wheel and tire package.

Now is likely the time. You might come out with a 4x4 for little to nothing out of pocket with the money Carvana and some other dealers are paying for clean used inventory.

A/S Michelin 18's

 

[OrangeStreak]

A/S Michelin 18's

I would assume that the tires in these packages that come on 4 wheelers would be Michelin A/T's?

Mine is not a 4x4. and its not a 4x2 with the FX2 package either. I think the Michelin's come with the black appearance pkg, because other trucks in the line have Hankook tires.
