I grew up in New England (quite a bit of snow), lived for 10+ years in the Mid-Atlantic (some snow) and now 11+ years in Colorado and I've never had a major issue. Where we live (Denver area) snow is intermittent - it snows, then melts, then snows again. Roads are clear most of the time, and so...
Your snow is probably very wet. Colorado's snow is generally dry and powdery, so it deosn't take much to get a good grip. The Geolanders were actually fantastic for our snow - better than a typical all season.
I'm not interested in having snow tires. I live near Denver and travel to the...
I'm going to upgrade the Goodyear Wranglers that came stock on my XLT FX4 in the next month or two. I'd like an AT tire that will perfrom reasonably well on moderate off raod (figure no more than "typical" 4-5 rating on OnX) but is also good for highway (grip, noise) and does decently well in...
These seem like a great choice for upgrading the Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT that come stock with the FX4 package on the Ranger XLT. Those stock tires have been okay for me so far, but I know they are not great and I've heard they are terrible in the snow. So I'm thinking of new tires before...
That’s a bummer. I bought an XLT FX4, not a Raptor, and the XLTs are now discounted locally. So it probably would have been a wash for me. But I don’t think you’ll get any discount on a Raptor. Can you cancel and wait? It sure seems like big discounts are coming in the next year.
I was washing my Ranger a little while ago and remembered that the one time I did get this error was after washing the truck. I assume I got water in the trailer connection and that made it go haywire. It went away after a while. I didn't happen when I washed the truck today but I was a bit more...
Anybody noticing appreciable differences in MPG when using normal vs eco vs sport? I can certainly feel the difference in how it drives, but I have not tested the real world impact on mileage.
I'm usually in Normal or Eco and I've been steadily getting 23-24 mpg (other than when I tow my camp...
I plan to replace the Wranglers before winter, but so far they’ve been fine for moderate off roading in Colorado. I’ve been pleasantly surprised given the bad reviews on them.
Just to add fuel to the fire, I had this happen exactly once. But, if I remember correctly, I was actually towing at the time, or at least I was on a camping trip during which I towed my trailer.
I don't have a solution, but it hasn't happened again.
Same here, although I rarely use the term “overland”. I camp in pretty remote areas in the mountains and desert. Judging by the “rigs” I see, there are a lot of people who bolt all kinds of expensive stuff to their vehicle and either never use it off road or meticulously clean it all after every...
Hike Trailer Mid-Range 5x9. I bought it before they introduced the XL and it has some features of that current model. Pretty happy with it, although we are considering a larger trailer.
I got this hard roll up tonneau. https://realtruck.com/p/truxedo-sentry-ct-tonneau-cover/v/ford/ranger/2024/
I’ve had it on there a few weeks and so far I’m happy. Install was easy. I like the roll up design better than the trifold for several reasons, including better ability to put bikes in...
