  1. Spare Tire Wrong Size

    Spare is same diameter, and not balanced. I thought it odd too. the lariat has a 17ā€ rim for the spare with 18ā€ rims stock i bought another rim and tire and run a 5 tire rotation.
  2. Owner's Manual has many inaccuracies

    That chart is referring to the cargo light, the clear part of the 3rd brake light assembly aka center mounted high stop light I believe that is correct for the cargo light being led. the 3rd brake light red part, is a different item the drop in bedliner has the slots for I believe. The...
  3. 2027 Ranger?

    @Texasota there is no way a bronco pickup would sell in the numbers that a Ranger pickup does and if it did it would be at the expense of the regular bronco. I’d say ford knows this and there will not be a bronco pickup, ā€˜ā€™the Lincoln bronco will not fill that void either making a larger...
  4. 2027 Ranger?

    why does ford want to sell more f150s? To make money anything that competes with the f150 that makes less money for ford, whether you call it a f100, ranger, or unicorn, does the same thing in the eyes of ford, reduces sales hence profit from the f150. rebadging ranger as f100 is not going to...
  5. 2027 Ranger?

    well you can buy an international version with a 6’ bed. there are features and trims offered internationally that aren’t offered in the USA. the problem is not that the ranger is designed for the world, the problem is that North America doesn’t offer the models and features that the rest of...
  6. October 2026 Ranger Sales & Production Report

    yea but it is 26 versus 25 October sales. So the same thing was happening last year, new model coming. maybe people didn’t want the 26.
  7. October 2026 Ranger Sales & Production Report

    That's production. Sales 5656. I wonder if we will see some sales coming up at the inventory also rose.
  8. Collision alert system not working

    I have only had mine come on once and it was on the way home from the dealer in traffic. I've had the backup come on a few times and it has saved me twice. I do know that you have to move above a certain speed for the brakes to come on.
  9. Had anyone done DIY PPF yourself?

    I did the lights. flat areas are relatively easy, multiple curves, not so much. You can always remove if you goof up.
  10. ‘25 XLT 2.3 1500 Miles CO to Olympic Peninsula, Only 20 MPG

    I think the epa rating is 1 to 2 mpg worse for the 2.7. I don't think that is a huge difference I imagine there might even be cases under heavy load where it is closer or even better on the 2.7. the 2.7 is a heavier engine
  11. Review of TripleAliners Bed Mat

    The little indent in the mat doesn’t exist in the bed.

  13. ‘25 XLT 2.3 1500 Miles CO to Olympic Peninsula, Only 20 MPG

    85? not 87? I'd say the prevailing winds run west to east, so head winds the whole way, and 80mph speed limit means traveling 85? I think a better question is what was the case mileage in Washington? I don't imagine that bike helps. How old is this truck? It seems to get a bit better gas...
  14. Review of TripleAliners Bed Mat

    I think they are all the same and they have the pattern in the scallops at the tail gate wrong and there is an indent in the mat near the wheel well that doesn’t exist. and the front edge of the mat leans toward the cab but the front wall of the bed leans toward the tailgate so there is a gap...
  15. Fluid film undercoat - experience, tips, recommendations?

    I’ve done it. get a sprayer with a nozzle hose so you can insert into holes. I got an inexpensive one off amazon. you can use uv light to see where it is applied but only when it is fresh i accidentally ordered some spray cans and they are handy for touch ups. remove the skid plates and...
