Engineering may want it blue tagged and sent back so they can see what's up. Not unusual.No idea but if Ford Corporate approved it then it must have been serious.

Isn’t that what Cancel/Resume is for, switch “off” for a few seconds and just coast ?Believe me... my Ranger knows this. We live in Colorado, central Colorado. I use cruise control all the time, and love the engine braking feature.
But I'm also nervous as hell in regard to transmission longevity.
Sure that works, but on steep grades then you're riding the brakes.Isn’t that what Cancel/Resume is for, switch “off” for a few seconds and just coast ?
Loaner Ranger ( Ke-mo sah-bee )?
Watch this tear down video and you can see why they just swap it out. If that were me there would be a bucket of extra parts after the rebuild. lol ?I saw a video where a guy dismantled the 10 speed transmission, to upgrade some parts. I had the impression if you get bored of being a nuclear scientist, you become a transmission over hauler guy. Looks super complicated. Seems like a no brainer to swap it out.
...And, if they are paying two day's worth of labor for just for the remove-install, there would be added cost and time for a rebuild.Engineering may want it blue tagged and sent back so they can see what's up. Not unusual.
WTH? Does every new XLT have 31 miles on it? I bought my XLT 4x4 and it had 31 miles on it ?The loaner was a new 2021 Ranger XLT 4x4 with 31 miles. Not a EcoSport but neither a mustang.
It's about 14 miles to the local race track. So that's 14 miles + (2) 1/4 miles passes + 14 to get back to the plant.WTH? Does every new XLT have 31 miles on it? I bought my XLT 4x4 and it had 31 miles on it ?
it’s late, isn’t P for PASS? Asking for a friend.To add to this, you can't physically do anything with the trans beside put it in Park. Everything else has built in protections that it just won't go into gears where it's dangerous for the trans or engine.
The exception is it WILL go into park no matter what you're doing with it.
