I've gotten so tired of dealing with this 2019 Ranger! It's always something and today it's: P0128- which I fixed a month ago (sensor/thermostat), U01518 code, & U0415 code.

I had a Freightliner like that. I woulda shot the first one to so much as piss on it if it was to have caught fire.

It's too bad you're having so much trouble with it and I'm sure it's more than frustrating. Everything these days seemed to be hit or miss and it's a crap shoot if you're going to get a good one or a lemon. I'd just trade in and be done with it. Life's too short to be aggravated with a vehicle and always having to worry about it leaving you stranded.

Way too short.

It’s also annoying that the difference between a 2019 trade-in and a new 6g is likely more than what we paid for our 2019s.

We really got a great deal but that was like a hundred years ago!

Wow, they say it comes in threes but you're get it in waves. Talk about bad luck with a vehicle. I can help if you want. :wink: 🔥

Most every one says "Don't buy the first model year of a new vehicle" -but I can tell you there are many people on this form with 2019 Rangers with little to no trouble. My 2020 has been perfect at 6 years and 30K. Your not saying if this vehicle has been in a wreck or other wise "jacked up" by the previous owner?

I wouldn't buy a first year vehicle but the "19 Ranger was a little different. It was already being produced around the world and ours used the same platform. The 2.3 and 10R80 were also being used in several other vehicles so it wasn't an all new redesign. My '19 was trouble free too and so far my '23 is also trouble free. Unfortunately it's just the luck of the draw now as to who gets a good one and who gets a bad one.

Aside from the transmission needing a total rebuild at 36k and the HVAC box needing total replacement also at 36k (both actually needed it before then but 36k is when Ford finally agreed to fix it), mine has been pretty good.

Wow. I sound like I'm on the Tacoma forum.

"Aside from the rear differential locking up unexpectedly and causing it to smash into an orphanage, burning it to the ground, it's been 100% reliable!"

My 2019 fits into that camp. We should likely start a poll because I think it just might be a SuperCab thing.

How old is the battery? Sometimes you'll get wonky codes when the battery is going bad.

Looks brand new inside and out, no wrecks. I have learned that only Ford parts work on it. No aftermarket parts will last a month. Starting to think eats my have crewed up some wiring this time, so maybe I shouldn't complain if so. I'm just tired boss!
