If I have a slightly slanted driveway, which truck orientation is better for more complete oil drainage?
So far i've always done nose higher, but not sure if I should flip it for the next one.

Raise the opposite side slightly from whatever side the drain is on .

If not on level surface then raise the opposite side than the drain plug is located. If I remember correctly on the Ranger it is actually on the passenger side rear corner of the pan so raising the driver front corner would be ideal.
You would definitely not want to tilt the vehicle in an opposite direction than where it drains.

i put the truck on ramps and that leaves the front higher. works.

if you dont have a lift/level your forward Rake, a little rise in the front woudnt hurt, and just turn the wheel lock right, you should be able to roll around under there no problem
