My 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4 Sport came with Hankook Dynapro tires. When those needed to be replaced, I tried several different brands of tire (sorry Discount Tire), and ended up going back to the Dynapros. They were absolutely the best handling tires I could find for that truck. I would HIGHLY...
āso if they keep the same tune on the Ranger, youāre looking at 75HP and 45TQ less than a RR that weighs in at around 900 lbs more. Yeah, the difference in performance, especially at the low end, does not make the RR look like the champion We want it to be. I really hope that FORD comes out...
From my understanding, the Intercooler is the āweak linkā as far as performance, or at least sustained performance of this engine is concerned. The factory intercooler becomes heat soaked very quickly; IAT goes up, and the computer dials everything back to compensate. A good intercooler (COBB /...
So, let me see if Iāve got all this straight:
1) 100+ HP over stock
2) 150+ TQ over stock
3) Maintains FORD factory warranty
4) <$4K USD installed
Iām ready to feel the thunder from down under! Does anyone know if they have a stateside rep?
Personally, I think most people would agree with you. The orange accent color is the ONLY thing that I donāt like about my RR, but given the accent patch and stitching on the seats, it just doesnāt seem like trying to change out the vent bezels would make much of a difference.
Youāre right on the money at 107, or so I hear. ?
āThat engine seems to have a lot left in the tank; a tune and a couple of parts to help it breath better, and that buggy would be a rocket ship.
I ran the same tune on my 2019 Ranger, and it made an incredible difference in the performance of that vehicle. The only other bolt on for that vehicle was an AWE exhaust, and I swear that truck was more responsive, I.e.felt faster, than my 2024 Raptor.
Iām getting 15 in Sport mode and just over 16 in normal. I canāt keep my foot out of this thing, so thatās about what I expected. I mean really, you donāt buy a RR for the gas mileage! ?
Hey folks, in case anyone was wondering what the situation was on tuning for the new RR, I contacted 5-Star to find out where they were in development. The following is the response from 5-Star:

Hey Russell
We need SCT and HPTuners to...
Hey brother, thanks for the Kchighlites legal brief! Now I know exactly what is legal in my state, and it looks like the stealth mounted light bars should be good to go at less than 24ā!
āThe best exhaust that I have found for the 2.3L EB engine is the dual tip from AWE.

I was running this exhaust on my 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4 Sport, with the Ford tuner and K&N filter...
I did my homework before going that route. The edges of the hood are wrapped, so thereās absolutely no chance of damage from automatic car washes. I use one regularly, so thatās one of the first questions I asked. They did ask me to Waite several weeks for the film to completely cure. The cost...
I had some rock chips on the hood of my 2019 Ranger, so when I bought my 2024 Ranger Raptor, I new that I had to do something to prevent that damage, or minimize it as much as I could. My main problem was that I hated the way the bug deflectors looked. When I went to have my front windows...
Yeah, my eyes arenāt that sharp, but it looks like two totally different colors to me.
Those trucks are way too nice to have something that looks like that; trust me, it will ALWAYS bother you!
Give FORD a call and have them swap out the running boards for two that match! ;-)
Iāve never installed auxiliary lighting on one of my trucks; I guess Iāve never really seen the need, but Iām really impressed by the way your project turned out. I think that I may need to look into adding one of those light bars to my RR. Thanks for posting this! ??
One of the other forum members installed a similar kit with the aluminum air box and piping.
He said that he noticed an increase in IAT from heat soak of the aluminum parts, and ended up needing to insulate everything. I think Iām going to wait on someone to produce a rotomolded intake, and...
