  1. the right hand driver's vent did not blow much air compared to the other three,
  2. The lower center instrument panel was not perfectly flush with the dash surround,
  3. there were a few new squeaks,
  4. driver's window auto-down no longer worked.

How is that "a really good job?"
I was thinking the same. Sounds like the dealer messed the truck up and he's saying they did a good job? ?

I was referring to the price that I negotiated for the repair (to include free rental for 9 days), not the work performed.......

F-150s are nice, but not as simple to tow 5,000-7,500lb with it verse with the Ranger.

I was at the Ford dealer in Ocala having my 2020 Ranger a little work done on it for some checkups. I looked out and looked at their used Rangers they had on the lot they had a 2019 XLT four-wheel drive, exactly like mine same equipment used they wanted $54,000 for it. Mine was only $37800 ... that was the full price the window sticker. I paid $31000.
Ford what the hell is going on?

Second, we didnt lose anyone. the next owner will likely stumble across R5G and fill the void.

Sadly though, they will ask about what oil to run, how many miles for when they should change it etc.
...and whether they should purchase a damper.

It's too bad @ChopprJock you can't put those wheels and tires on your F150, that would be a**-kickin'. But hey, if you see a good deal and something better for you that checks all the boxes, why not jump on it if/when the opportunity arises?

I'm in St. Louis as well and just curious what dealer you used. Got me wondering 'cause I take mine to the local dealer where I bought it for all my service (the so-called "works package") and I'm hoping they've been treating me right.

If you don't want to name names you could just tell me where they're located and I'll figure it out.

Thanks- I never really dug that deep into all the options on this forum. I didn't find anything there but I'll keep looking. Good to know all that stuff's out there.

You're a better detective than me, for sure. Thankfully that's not my dealer.
It really only suggests he bought his Ranger there but it’s likely the work was done there as well.
