I have a 2020 ranger 4x4 xlt. Hoping someone can tell me which scanner will perform the ABS brake bleed procedure.
Information available on line is limited. There are so many models available and some companies I contacted says higher end models will but I need to provide VIN since all models are not supported . I want to spent $200 to$300 dollars in order to do more than read and reset codes since I also own other non ford vehicles .

Here are three that were easy to find in the Canadian Amazon app.

I’m sure you’ll have similar luck on the U.S. app.

Do you have personal knowledge these scanners will support the 2020 ranger?
I have discovered just because ABS bleeding function is available does not mean all vehicles and years are supported.

Nope, just trying to point you to a source that has decent product descriptions with the specific feature you’re looking for and an easy way to contact the supplier.

I used the OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter (currently $69.95 on Amazon) with my laptop. Don't remember the exact procedure, but you can do a search on R5G to get them.
