  1. PSA: Bed rail caps on '26 are thinner than '25... Tonneau covers will NOT fit

    I might be in the minority here. Might be because I've been looking at it for close to 2 years now, but I prefer the originals. Especially on a raptor, where you have the fender flares and what not. it feels more balanced with the other plastics. I bet I'd prefer the new version on the...
  2. PSA: Bed rail caps on '26 are thinner than '25... Tonneau covers will NOT fit

    There's also these which are all aluminum instead of HDPE with atopper. https://americanadventurelab.com/product/ford-ranger-bed-rail-attachment-spacer-pack-pair/
  3. Is the 2.3L engine enough for towing a small travel trailer?

    I don't disagree with that. You stated your opinion. I stated mine. I'm allowed to have one.
  4. Is the 2.3L engine enough for towing a small travel trailer?

    Might be insignificant, but different engines means there will be differences. If only that it takes a little longer to raise the temp due to more oil / thermal mass / lower RPMs. These videos by TFL truck do a good job of showing the differences. Here is a video of similar tests with the...
  5. Is the 2.3L engine enough for towing a small travel trailer?

    They're rated the same due to chassis limitations. The engines all outperform the limitations of the chassis, which boils down to the tongue weight. It's why the raptor has a ~5000 lbs towing capacity. Not because cooling, braking, or engine limitations. Simply because the switch from leaf...
  6. Is the 2.3L engine enough for towing a small travel trailer?

    2.3 can do everything the larger engines can, just need a bit more runway for any sort of passing, etc. If you can swing it, I'd go for the 2.7 just for better thermals and performance at the extreme end (mountain passes, etc), but not necessary IMO if you don't want to or want better fuel...
  7. Walmart oil?

    Not walmart, so not sure if this is helpful to you, but I use the Kirkland brand full synthetic from costco with DEXOS 1. It meets the specs and is affordable enough to make 4-5k intervals a no brainer. I found the product data sheets on highline warren's website (they make the oil) at one...
  8. Is the UPR catch can Billet Pro-Series Check Valve worth adding?

    I've had my UPR for over 10,000 miles. No issues. I like it. I got the upgraded check valves. Mostly because if those fail / have issues it could be real bad for the engine so I felt a more robust solution was a worthy upgrade.
  9. Don't rely on brand alone for Top Tier fuel

    I always seek out top tier gas when possible, but don't stress it if I'm in the boonies and cant. I do put effort when traveling to load up the website and look for a station within my available range. They do have an app, I thought. Or maybe it's just the website. Not sure. Whatever they have...
  10. RR 3.0 Wet Belt Driven Oil Pump - issues in future?

    I think he was simply saying that your 2.3 ranger is perfectly fine for towing, and rated to tow the same as the 2.7 due to chassis limitations. So if we're speaking just capability, they both work. But his previous post pointed out that there are tangible benefits to the 2.7 that go beyond just...
  11. RR 3.0 Wet Belt Driven Oil Pump - issues in future?

    It's a big job. Need to remove the whole front end of the truck to even start. Part of the reason people are upset at the choice. If it was a simple job I'm sure there would be less upset. The failure prone engines of the past at least were far more serviceable. Tiny engines. relatively easy to...
  12. RR 3.0 Wet Belt Driven Oil Pump - issues in future?

    I think the disconnect is some folks here are talking about mileage, others are talking about time. 200k miles on a 7 year old vehicle vs 200k miles on a 15 year old vehicle are two different things. My personal thoughts are that something with the computers / electronics on these vehicles are...
  13. New Product - Ford Ranger Bed Slide (by American Adventure Lab)

    These are going to be a great addition to my Ranger! I'm planing on using 2 of these storage containers on one slide to store stuff. I have one that I made a battery box out of already. They should fit perfectly on the slide, and could even fit 3x of them front to back if needed. The...
  14. Early Preview - Bed Sliders and Drawers

    Made some edits to my post up there but moving them to a new post since you were likely drafting your response. On the product description, it states the external length is 54.88" long. Didn't this get shortened to~52" or was that internal dimensions? For some of my gear I want to strap them...
  15. Early Preview - Bed Sliders and Drawers

    Got my order in! Thanks! Each slide comes with two of those dividers? Are the holes across the tops of the two side rails spaced in-line with L-track by chance? Starting to strategize how I'll secure straps for my batteries, fridge and pelicans / cases.
  16. Early Preview - Bed Sliders and Drawers

    Showing out of stock for me. Thanks for getting this posted! They look great!
  17. Early Preview - Bed Sliders and Drawers

    @AdventureLab Looking to plan some upcoming trips for 2026. I know you have a ton of projects and I don't mean to pressure, just looking to get an idea of when you think this will be ready to order and ensure I get that order in with ample lead time before any large trip.
  18. MOLLE Bed Panels Coming Soon (from American Adventure Lab)!

    I'd take a piece of 1x3 or other scrap wood you have laying around, stand it on end toward the seam and tap it with a rubber mallet or deadblow if you have one. Can probably get that to lay flat. Might need to back out the bolt a little (not all the way, the nuts were a PITA to get threaded, for...
  19. New Product Launch - Rear Seat Delete (American Adventure Lab)

    Love the photos of Luna! The hard part is the base. Once weather warms up you might consider getting the back in there. My dog likes to lean against the back and look out the window. For me, at least, it's more than aesthetics! The seat delete puts Kora at a perfect height for looking out the...
