MAGNETIC Ranger Club Thread

Hello. Just picked up my ride from the dealership yesterday. 2020 Lariat 501A FX4 magnetic w/black appearance. Replaced a 2009 Ranger XL in charcoal.

Been having lots of fun with it so far and took some nice pics around town which I thought might be appreciated here. Enjoy.

I think I’ve been here, what town are you in?

Kingston Ontario. Eastern end of Lake Ontario where the St. Lawrence River begins. If you've ever toured the thousand islands by river boat, you may have made a stop at the pier downtown.

Anyone else tried the idrive throttle controller? Put mine on yesterday. Stock truck drives like it should. The throttle response is amazing. No more mushy response. 22 different settings for every possible scenario. Big fan so far. Don’t want to tune the engine and dealer say I voiced my 10 yr 145k warranty. Plug and play. Can remove it in 10 seconds.

I put one on my magnetic Ranger (just to keep in topic) Tried AC mode but a little too quick to downshift imo, so tried some eco mid settings, nah. So now going U1 and up (there's 9 settings). Still working on that.
I never wrote anything on the pet peeves thread, but I will say this, I never liked the lazy factory pedal. And I'm seldom in sport mode. All in all, I'd say I'm glad I got one.

Figured I’d drop some pics. Been a while. Tons of updates

What Tonneau cover is that? I need one and that one looks nice.

Swapped out my stock Hankook tires for some 275/65r18 Duratrac tires today.

Any rubbing with Duratracs? Wheel spacers?

Any rubbing with Duratracs? Wheel spacers?

I’m running 1” spacers with the stock rims and a 2.5” leveling kit. After they tires were installed the clearance to the front crash bars was very small, maybe a 1/4” at most. I just loosened the bolts and pushed the front bars forward and gained a lot of extra space. I haven’t measured the actual clearance now but I’ve had zero rubbing. It’s incredibly easy to move the bars forward after loosening the bolts. There is plenty of clearance for the rear bars and mud flaps

Do you know if they would have rubbed on the spindle without the wheel spacers?

With my 1” spacers I’m measuring 1 1/4” space between the widest part of the tire and the spindle. So not a ton of clearance but should be fine. Another thing to consider would be if all these Ford rims have the exact same offset and width. If you have the Black appearance package wheels then you’re all good.

I don't have the black package but have the 18's with the magnetic gray pockets. They are supose to be the same 18x8 ET +55. Is that what your door sticker indicates?

Yep!

Yep!

New to the forum (former long time Tacoma owner!) A friend talked me into test driving a new Ranger, and then this happened:

... looking forward to "learning from other's experience" here on the forums!
