What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Zeroedin]

Lol, I gotta be honest…..this one’s a bit embarrassing to admit after two months of ownership; but today my Ranger and I explored “Sport” mode for the first time.

I swear, the “S” never really registered. I think subconsciously I just assumed it stood for “Shift”; for when you wanted to run through the gears manually using the +/- on the shift knob

It wasn’t until after putting gas in, when I inadvertently put it in “S” mode and goosed it a bit pulling into traffic…that I realized there was some untapped “Umph!” in there to play with.

Definitely a pleasant revelation. Spent half the afternoon playing with my new found power. Spent the other half kicking myself for not knowing it was there from the get-go. Probably should read the owner’s manual one of these days.

Also swung by the park for a couple of gratuitous pics…..because from the other “enthusiast” forums I’m on, I know that every post is better with pics.

You want to really wake "S" mode up get a tune!

It’s tentatively on the books for January. Gotta replenish the “Fun with the Truck” fund before anything spendier than a free sticker gets anywhere near my truck again.

Nemo Tunnel trail ride. It was FUN!

Terrific Pics!

Parked in its hole behind lock and key, tear down of rack begins Friday so Version 3 can begin.

Finally get to stretch the new cave's legs with why I built it.

You might want to check on flag code.

I believe the Union should be displayed on the left. And since you're displaying it with the "thin blue line" flag at the same level I believe the US flag should be left as well.

Bit of a pet peeve of mine, sorry.

According to Ford, I believe the "S" stands for "Select Shift." Everybody here calls it "sport."

Seems they call it sport mode https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...ine-and-transmission/how-do-i-use-sport-mode/

Select shift is an option in sport mode, but it's not required and it's not the default. Select shift refers to the +/- button on the thumb area of the shifter.

I'll stand corrected.


Goddamn marketing teams and their terms.

Get your DeeZee Damper installed before you kick you self again... ?

Are you kidding? I had the damper ordered before I knew I was even gonna be looking at trucks….just because I had heard so many great things about it. Figured even if I didn’t buy a new vehicle I’d use it for a cabinet door or something around the house.

Lol, it was actually the first thing I installed and I love it….though my muscles do seem to be atrophying a bit.

Matt, this is what I love to hear, the new guys joining the damper club! Don't worry to much about the muscle atrophy it's slow and gradual. You'll know when it's fully kicked in as you'll have a hard time just picking up a 6 pack.

If you can't pick up a twelve pack its already too late.
