Not sure about anyone else, but yesterday I heard the first traditional advertisement of any kind for the US market 2024 Ranger (including the RR) during a “Stuff You Should Know” podcast. Anyone else see or hear ads hitting the airwaves?

Agreed. That’s what I was trying to say here but probably wasn’t clear: “Sounds like there was a faulty intake valve which (in later models?) Ford supposedly switched out to a material less prone to becoming brittle during the manufacturing process” But, I guess you could say it still worries...

Looks like the NHTSA are expanding their earlier investigation into ‘21 and ‘22 model year vehicles with the 2.7 & 3.0 liter V6’s. Sounds like there was a faulty intake valve which (in later models?) Ford supposedly switched out to a material less prone to becoming brittle during the...

Congrats! That's a nice looking truck.

And that's being generous. Now where's my truck? Is it here yet?

Here is a relevant vid from Australia for an XLT. I imagine there may be enough room in the engine bay to have a second battery in some of the 6G Ranger models, but not the RR.?.? But, I have seen many with RRs installing a second slim battery behind the back seat like this guys doing.

Same. I may use it for power tool battery charging once in a blue moon. It could be used for speakers, lights, compressors, or other camping items that don't draw too much juice. Realistically I don't think I'd use it too much on a regular basis, as I don't in my 4runner today, but who knows.

Here's some Ranger related fluff while we wait. I had seen a lot of reviewers call out the french fry symbol in the center console over the last year or so and even some of the other similar console storage markings. But, I had not heard of some of these, especially the markings within the...

This podcast, posted yesterday, gives a fair-balanced overview of the UAW and the big three auto makers potential strike situation, how we got here, and what each side is considering with historical context. A good listen for those who are interested...

Nice! How does the power and suspension feel in comparison to your 5G Ranger?

Especially when you are talking about an ADM of ~5% to ~25%, or more, of what is typically the 2nd largest purchase a person will make behind a home.

Yeah, that makes sense and I have seen a glimpse of the subscription model crap. I really hope they don’t go that way, or at least require it, on the new rangers that have the feature. ?

I can understand and respect that opinion. And maybe it’s implemented poorly for certain makes or models, but I’m not sure. That said, I’ve had keyless entry/start on the last couple vehicles (VW golf R & Toyota 4Runner) and honestly it’s been fantastic. Other than the original added cost for...

This is basically what many serious overlanders do to their trucks, but in this case sort of direct form the Ford dealer. I can just picture a fridge and other camping goodies back there. :) Good looking truck!

That truck is doing truck stuff!

The properties of some of these films is pretty amazing. Certainly it won't protect from everything but for much of the typical pin striping it should protect the paint underneath and, with the right film, self-heal.

Oh right! My misreading had me hoping.

That's awesome! Congrats. I'm curious (and unscheduled :shock:), did you get your scheduling email this week?

Great write up! Can you share some pictures? Would also love to see the rear seat delete.
