What’s up, name is Andrew. New to the group… Got my 2020 XLT a few months ago and I love it! Haven’t done anything more than cosmetic, but I look forward to learning from you guys, as this is my first truck. Have some Falken Wildpeak tires on the way, these stock tires aren’t handling the Alaskan snow as well as I’d like.

I’m finding out how quickly one can become addicted to mods, my wife has already mentioned as much. Anyways, thanks for letting me join, peace.

2021 Ranger XL STX
Occupation
Retired
I just got my XL STX last Week. I had a 2005 Tacoma for 11 years, then got a Mercedes Metris cargo van when I became self employed and needed a lot of inside lockable space. I'm retired now and decided it was time to go back to a pickup. Between my fishing and fossil hunting trips, I end up parking off road often enough that those small tires and low ground clearance on the Metris had me always paranoid about getting stuck. So it was time to pickup shop. I loved the Tacoma I had and considered another, but the Tacoma is way overdo for an update, plus since I've moved to BFE, the nearest Toyota dealer is 40 miles away. So I decided to try this Ranger. The Ford dealer here is 4 miles from my front door.

I really like the Ranger so far. My main gripe is the ride. I don't mind the firm suspension, but every bump seems to bounce the rear tires into the air. That's downright scary on a curve. I haven't had that problem in many, many years, not since I owned a regular cab pickup so many years ago. I've ordered Bilstein 5100 rear shocks. I'm hoping that will keep the rear tires on the ground better. Is the Bilstein leveling kit for the front worthwhile if you're not going to put larger tires on? I wouldn't mind sitting up higher and having the truck more level, but a better ride is mainly what I want.

My only other complaint is all the chimes. Is using Forscan the only way to get rid of chimes? Can you not just disconnect the chime?

Hi, Just purchased my 1st Ranger! Put on a level kit and new tires. Thanks for all of the great information here. I have been a DQ operator for 36 years in west central IL.
