AWE, very happy with the sound.
I'm following this as well!!!Hey everybody,
We're really excited to announce that we're developing a performance air intake for the 2019+ 2.3L EcoBoost Ranger! Check out the first installment of our engineering blog below. This time, we're taking a look at the stock intake and revealing some of its more interesting features.
Thanks!

From the crisp, cool air atop Pikes Peak to the smell of freshly cut grass at Fenway Park. From the hard asphalt streets of New York City to the soft sand of the Mojave. No matter where you are or where you’re going, the 2019+ Ford Ranger was built to take in the world.
While we take in the world with our sense of touch, sight, taste, and smell, your 2019+ Ranger takes in the world through its air intake. Air flows into the intake, gets compressed by the turbocharger, and is then forced into the engine. The better the intake flows, the more air can get into the turbocharger and the more air goes into the engine. More air going into the engine means more fuel can be injected, and more fuel equals more power.
Improving flow through the intake is one of the best ways to improve performance. While the stock intake on the 2.3L EcoBoost under the hood of the 2019+ Ranger is well designed, we think we can make it better. But, before we start building an improved intake, we need to look at the stock intake to know what can be improved.
To analyze the stock intake, we started by 3D scanning the intake while it was still installed on the truck. This scan told us how much clearance the stock intake had between all the other components in the engine bay. A second scan of the area with the intake removed gave us our envelope—the space that our replacement intake could occupy.
With the stock intake out of the vehicle, we could also see all the elements that may need to be improved. When the intake is installed in the Ranger’s engine bay, it looks unassuming and bland. A box with a tube on it, basically. But when you remove it, you can see just how much lives under the surface.

Hey Jose,
We actually noticed this too, but thought it was just our truck ? Might have something to do with a smoother power band or hitting target torque more easily.
PM sent!
Both the dry and the oiled filter have an efficiency rating of 99% efficiency for particles 5 microns and larger. The oiled filter should filter more <5 micron particles, but we don't have an exact efficiency rating for particulate below 5 microns.
Unfortunately, we do not at this time. However, I will pass your question on to the team here, as you're not the first to ask.
I am going to order one tomorrow. I see the price is $399. Was the pre-sale a better deal?
