  1. 2025 XLT, which engine?

    As the owner of a 2.3, I say go for the V-6. I haven't towed, and the 2.3 does have plenty of around town "omph*, but the small MPG difference isn't worth the loss of low end grunt.
  2. Things you may not know about your Ranger

    I worked with a guy who dumped his oil into the Amazon Creek. And this was in the 90’s. People are so lazy.
  3. 'Real Raptor' Sighting

    And two live raptors a few minutes before this:

    There was a living rabbit a few minutes before I captured this photo:
  5. Rocker Panel Gap

    The question was where do you get the 1/4" figure, and you rather conveniently ignored it in favor of a troll-like statement. But I'll bite, as you seem to believe you're better informed than anyone else; what is the acceptable tolerance in this case?
  6. Rocker Panel Gap

    Exactly. As such, these tolerances are much tighter than they used to be, anomalous examples aside.

  9. Ford Ranger and Insurance Costs

    Glad you like it, and I do like that color. I sold a '22 Tacoma OR in April and considered a Gen 4 Tacoma (it would have been SR5 LB with the SR5 upgrade package), but ultimately decided I wanted the towing and payload (and lower price) of the Ranger. But it wasn't an easy choice, and I still...
  10. Ford Ranger and Insurance Costs

    And yet you haven't posted a thread in the space that's dedicated to that topic. And you're welcome for my contribution too.
  13. Ford Ranger and Insurance Costs

    $1k was the point at which there were vastly diminishing returns on increasing the deductible; $1500 deductible reduced the premium by a dollar, if I remember.
  14. Ford Ranger and Insurance Costs

    $453.16/6 months, $1K deductible. $5 more than our CR-V. It pays to have a good driving record!
  15. ‘25 XLT 2.3 1500 Miles CO to Olympic Peninsula, Only 20 MPG

    It’s exactly 1MPG better for the 2.3, but as you note, real world experience may find otherwise, hence my post.
