Hey all
just took a 3000 mile journey in my new 1 month old Ranger from FL to NY and back have some thoughts and questions, so my highway mileage started off at 20 and gradually got better and the best i saw was 24 averaged about 23.5 using 93 octane if anyone was curious truck has about 4000 miles on it now. Seems like you could go about 400 miles a tank on the highway
Truck rode fairly well for having the Bridgestone All terrain tires had the air set to 30 psi seats were comfortable Shifted as expected, kicked down and boosted up fairly quickly when power was needed for overtaking and climbing grades. Only had 1 issue with the collision avoidance detection system that became non operational due to overnight frost in NC
I've got the leer folding tonneau cover which made a flapping noise at 65-75 from the overhanging seal at the bulkhead, i had previously used the butyl tape and stuck down the corners, and tested for this noise prior to the trip. I guess my efforts were not good enough,. i used painters tape to temporarily fix it for now as a side note it rained for about 20 hours of the 24 hour journey on the way back and no water leaks
Issues:
Excessive wind noise from what seems like the rear doors on my crew cab, any known issues or spots i can check?
Part throttle, if you let off the pedal completely feel like a slight buck or jerk not a smooth transition all i could think of is the DV valve closing or the transmission programming needs to be updated was going to ask the dealer to look at it during my first oil change.
