Wow, so it looks like (if I’m understanding correctly) with your setup having leveled the front and only one rung lower on the strut you can’t maintain factory ride height with these? Even the lowest rung looks like it would raise the front.

The trailer isn't very heavy or anywhere close to the max towable weight so I wouldn't worry at all about that. As for tongue weight, I think the ranger's limit is around 750lbs, or 10% of the max tow weight, so dive into the details of how much the tongue really weighs for a trailer you're...

Sorry to hear that you're still having trouble with your engine and also that you're that your dealer isn't trustworthy. But thank you for sharing the update with us.

Or maybe the Australian market; that list is taken from a YouTube video from an Australian guy who listed 7 or 8 “Easter eggs” on the new ranger

Ah, design engineer; not the same as engineer.

I’m not sure this sounds correct. I remember introductory videos where the chief engineer (Juan DiPena?) was interviewed and he’s definitely not Australian. Here’s one such video:

They’re asking about payload, not towing capacity. But you are right about the towing capacity being the same for either engine option.

The only answer that matters regarding payloads is what’s printed on the sticker in the driver’s door jam. The reason you see such a range posted is because the largest payload number is for the base truck with no options, and every option added adds weight and reduces payload. But for...

I’ll let others chime in on things like weight distribution hitches, rear view cameras, tpms monitors, etc., but I will add that I’m in the habit of carrying an IR temp gun and whenever I stop for a break I take the temp of each wheel hub and brakes.

I initially thought the 2024 was still on the website because they're not sold out yet. But as I mentioned, I could still configure the 2024 with any trim level and whatever options I wanted.

This is the one I’m using as well; so far so good. I remember when I put it on I thought it wasn’t a perfect fit but that it was pretty good. But ever since then I can’t figure out why I thought that. It works, it’s easy to clean, and I don’t see the edges of the protector.

That is odd; I’m seeing raptor, lariat, and xl as well for 2025 model year. But another odd thing is starting from ford.com and selecting Ranger from the Vehicles menu brought me to the 2024 Ranger where I saw, and could build, an XL, XLT, Lariat, or a Raptor.

Except the production dates listed above are late 2024: 2 Ford Ranger vehicles are affected. Production Dates : NOV 15, 2024 - DEC 15, 2024

It would only be a matter of time before the rangers knew the camera was there and started making silly faces.

It would be more fun if they had cameras mounted in the plant that took still photos and we had the opportunity to buy the photos in the same way we can buy photos after riding a roller coaster.

Only half?!

Congratulations on your decision and purchase; you’re gonna love it.

I haven’t tried the things you mentioned, but I just spent a few days doing paint correction and multiple coats of ceramic coating and tomorrow I’ll put paint protection film on the front painted surfaces and these rocker panels, then lastly fluid film and surface shield on everything except the...

I’ve been married for, I dunno, 25 years or so, and it sounds to me based on your original post, that she wants what’s right for you. Give it time, and like I said earlier, show her that you’ve thought it through and it really does meet your needs as a vehicle. If your wife is like mine then...

I would have to disagree with this. Not considering a spouse's input on a big purchase decision isn't conducive to a healthy relationship. It sounds to me like the wife has concerns about him being happy with the purchase, so fill in the blanks for her, so to speak. Take richman555's idea and...
