So basically it shouldn't affect any Ranger 2.7L owners since the production started with model year 2024. Not saying there couldn't be other issues in the future but Ford addressed the issue and fixed it.
The 2.7L is the reason I bought my Ranger XLT. You won't find a better platform for a mid sized truck. It's been the most reliable of any of the Ecoboost options Ford has made to date.
Coming from a 2013 5.0L F150 there are some really good deals going on right now for Truck Month. I love my new 2025 2.7L Ranger XLT now and wouldn't go back to my F150 as the Ranger is a better daily driver for us. However, if I was doing a lot of towing I might go back to the F150. It's...
I'm betting that's exactly what will happen. While it's an additional trim level to the lineup, I don't think it's a good deal for US consumers. Especially ones who plan to purchase a Raptor in the future.
I live in TX and agree with you for the most part. Because of that I had the Degreez cooling & heating system installed with the Katzkin leather. It was worth it to me but may not be necessary for everyone depending upon where you live.
Sorry, yes they have to take off the original cloth to install these. They are ready to go and custom fitted to your particular seats though. I would still recommend getting them professionally installed.
Technically they are covers but you'd never tell unless you see the zipper in the back edge of the seat. Trust me if you can fork out the $2K for premium looking leather seats you can't go wrong. I figured it would add at least that in resale value.
Definitely Katzkin or Alea Leather. I went the Katzkin route on my 2025 Velocity Blue XLT and couldn't be happier. It looks way better than the leather seats in the Lariat.
I don't know you'd be interested but I'm switching to Katzkin leather seats in a couple weeks and will have a set of barely used 2025 Ranger XLT ebony cloth seats available. Just let me know.
Yea, I kinda felt the same way about the wheels. Regardless, I really think you'll like the Bridgestones. Much like you I primarily wanted a road focused AT tire and after some research I felt the Bridgestones were my best choice. Glad I went that way + the slightly larger tires looks like it...
I just installed 265/70 R17 Bridgestone Dueler Ascent AT's on mine. I have zero rubbing with no lift. Although I've only had these on for a few days I can easily say the road manners with this tire easily compare to a very good all-season tire. I really don't think you can go wrong with these...
