24 Ranger xlt FX4 2.3. I'm just about a year in and just over 3000 miles. (I have a agency supplied vehicle for most of my driving). I do drive a lot of regular and medium sized commercial trucks. I like just about everything, but my cons are: the screen is perverse and does what it...

The Blizzak DM V2s are perfect for you. 10 ply for truck use, the same Blizzak handling.

I've done very well with the Blizzak DM-V2, a ten ply truck tire I think is available in an 18", pricy, but it is a truck rated tire and maybe you wouldn't have to buy rims. I've had 3 sets of these on heavy loaded SUVs for emergency fire service, and they work, are very quiet and do well on ice.

3) wind noise at highway speed (50 mph and up) right outside the driver window, maybe coming over the pillar. window visors might help, or they might not. I thought the window visors would help. They don't. And agree about the bed reinforcements. The cost is one thing, installing them is a...

When my wife and I bought our XLT sight unseen in early April, we hadn't actually found a 2024 model to test drive, we more or less took a chance on it. ( We did drive a Maverick and a used 2023 Ranger Tremor, both of which seemed ok). So when it was time to consider the Service Contract, we...

I'm 72 also, and got a XLT FX4 in early April, with every option available. It does take awhile to get used to the electronic features and they are a complete distraction for awhile. I would say I'm an early adapter on tech, been in electronics since my teens. I wanted something that was...

This is common in virtually every pickup made. If you put a lumber rack, headache rack, crossbed tool box that stresses the sides out or down, you'll get cracks there. I've seen it many times. The newer pickups have very thin steel beds, I don't care what the engineers say about exotic...

I have 3 sets of these on vehicles in our fleet, and they're incredible, small and durable. Not sure how mounting is going to go on the Rangers, but I'm working on it. https://www.speedtechlights.com/led-off-road-light-bars/carbine-140-degree-led-spotlight

I wonder if Eco mode works better at sea level. Up here, it feels like it's lugging the engine and making it downshift a lot more than Normal.

I drive at elevations between 6000 and 10000 ft in western Colorado, where the gas octane is lower than elsewhere. I got 27.5 on a trip, widows up at 100+ degrees full air hauling 500+ lbs. Typically average 24.something, except this tank has some mountain jeep trails and some heavy work...

Mine too, but not from off-roading. Been checking it more often now.

They’re not wrong about the trucks performance in gravel washboard. I live on a gravel washboard road and drive on them a lot. It's probably unfair to compare the Ranger to a Subie ( I have two of 'em) on gravel. The Subaru AWD system really tames washboard and I' m used to flying around a...

Pretty sure that Load Box Reinforcement kit is essential for racks. At first glance, I assumed it was a spacer kit for the plastic rails. It's most definitely not that. The front wall of the bed is pretty flimsy, and the attachment to the bed sides is a bit unconventional compared to older...

the photos are a bit too close for reference. Following this thread.

I have the XLT with the F4X, it rides very nice, handles flat in corners, and is pretty well behaved much like a SUV but a bit firmer. Great on the highway, gravel roads, city streets. A lot of handling effects are also due to the tires. Overall, it's pretty impressive. It doesn't appear to...

I inherited a set of these on my fire dept Tahoe that is pretty stuffed with gear/weight. I regularly drive on highways to emergencies, and go off road in real off-road conditions. Desert to alpine conditions, temps over 100 and down to minus too cold. All joking aside, these things are...

To be sure, I'm going to take the Ranger off-road and on some Jeep trails. I bought it to do some light work for the homeplace, take fishing, and have a nice ride. Later this summer, I'm going to do Black Bear Pass. The Ranger is staying home for that.

First off, I own and owned a number of Ford trucks, and manage others- F-100s, F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, F-450, and F-550s model years from the late 40's to 2000s. This is my 2nd Ranger, or 3rd if you count the later Courier versions. All of these are work trucks, not runabouts or...

Out of stock, darn it. One set on Etsy for $50, I'll hold out.
