My thoughts:
The bolting to the floor pan into the Thread Nut inserts. Aligns up well. 6 Fasteners.
Pinch Weld orientation not so good. I do not like trial and error.
It would be a lot of work to get the holes centered into the pinch weld.

Routine maintenance and inspection of Braking System.
I only put on average 7000 KM a year on the Ranger. City, with short commute.
Every 7K i will rotate the tires and inspect the brakes.
Would like to clean the Brakes. Garage mechanic or outside.
What would you suggest.
Is it good to...
Maybe a dumb ?
I cleaned my interior and checked the under hood fluids.
Could not see a dip stick for Tranny. I have a 2025 2.3L MPC motor.
I know its not a sealed transmission.
How do you check the fluid height.
2025 Ranger XLT
I rear end ended a car. Just something i learned from this is the Stock height of the Ranger is good.
I hit car bumper almost flush without hitting the trunk. I will not put a leveling kit on it for this reason.
I have a bit of crinkle on the silver cover under the bumper.

I am about to do my first oil change.
Is it helpful to remove the left front tire to access the opening to re and re the oil filter.
Is it just clips to remove access are. I see a Philips plastic head on the inner fender well fiber linear.
What's underneath that.
Not sure if i will get my...
Should I put a 10 year Warranty on my 2025 XLT. I do not drive a lot of KM. The one i am looking at is 3K CND
The truck may sit for a duration in Summer, while I just insure my motorcycle.
My main concern of parts failing is the rear braking system. Ford ask a lot from that setup. Get's used a...
I have a 2.3L MPC FX4.
My perspective coming from a 4G 2011 XL 2.3L Standard Super Cab. Duratech. Mazda head, cast iron block.
4G small truck, I am a big guy. Standard because the automatic at 145 Hp would be amemic. Would not work with 4x4.
The truck was fun rolling the gears. Rubber...
i was wondering for a while if the 2.3L motor is sleeved.
The 2025 Ford 2.3L MPC motor does not have sleeves. The engine relies on Aluminum coating for protection. A lot of manufactures do this now. This technology may have originated in the motor cycled industry.
I am looking at this roof rack from Prinsu. 2019 to 2021 Ford Ranger
I can get this out of box Roof Rack at a reasonable price. Ford Ranger Roof Rack for Offroad Adventures | Prinsu
Would this fit a 2025 Ford Ranger. What would be the difference.
Mounting instructions...

So, I just received my new Ranger. It sit's a little higher them my 4G. When I drive it under my under ground gate the antenna
hit's the board defining the 6'6" max height. Will the antenna put up with this abuse, The board is hung on a chain. Will this dent my roof.
I know you can get a stubby...
Picking up my ordered 2025 Ranger XLT Marsh gray from dealer this week.
I will try to inspect the truck the best i can before agreeing to purchase it.
Probably bring a tarp to throw under it to inspect the under carriage.
Is there any common quality issues i should pay attention to..
Things i...
In this video they talk about having to reprogram when swapping out battery.
Would it be true any part that is linked to the electrical system has to be reprogramed.

Does the 2.3L MPC motor have cylinder sleeves or Cylinder plating. I have found out it has forged rods. Not sure about the crank.
This info is from the 2015 2.3L Engine. The MPC motor must use some or most of this design.
The engine was built around a high-pressure die-cast open-deck...
I have watched a few videos of the black coating being damaged during tire replacement.
Look at the machine the tire shop is using. The lip of the rim and coating can be easily damaged.
Like all of you wishing to buy a new Truck, you do your research.
This Dude in the video is fairly well known in the industry. No Car Wizard though.

I see from this video that there's a lot of open holes in the frame. Seams that could rust.
What to do or what have you done. I thought when i get the truck to rust paint some of the seams.
Is there a plug kit for frame. The most common way to treat the bottom is to Oil it.
