  1. Tire Pressure

    I think that LT class tires need more pressure. I have the General Grabber (LT) tires on my truck and my door sticker calls for 39psi.
  2. Collision Avoidance in 2024 Lariat Seems to Have Stopped Working

    I don't "trust" the computer to stop me either, but the system has saved my ass once when I got distracted and traffic started slowing when I didn't notice. I also found that the pre-collision assist system makes the brakes EXTREMELY sensitive at that time. It will shave the stopping time very...
  3. Lane Keeping--Useful and Entertaining

    I drove across country last summer and found the lane keeping useful, but it doesn't alleviate to need for paying attention. In Montana, the two lane roads sometimes widen where there is a crossroads, to accommodate a left turn lane. Upon approaching these intersections, the truck would follow...
  4. Anyone test drive or have any experience as to rather an Fx4 or standard 4x4 suspension rides better?

    What does the door sticker say the pressure should be? In my experience, the dealers never check the tire pressure, and I'm not surprised to see the huge variance between your trucks.
  5. Anyone test drive or have any experience as to rather an Fx4 or standard 4x4 suspension rides better?

    When judging the cause of the ride differences be sure to investigate the kind of tires & inflation pressures used. Some Rangers come with the General Grabbers (LT tires), which have an inflation pressure of 39 psi, while the Firestones only go to about 30 psi. That can make a big difference in...
  6. 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 4X4 mpg?

    Fourteen is horrible mileage unless you're towing or really romping on it. Sounds to me like something is not right and needs a trip to the dealer.
  7. Wireless charging pad - can it be retrofit installed?

    If you have a Apple phone, just buy a Magsafe charger. It plugs into the USB-C port.
  8. All Weather Floor Mats

    In case you haven't done it yet, those circular areas are supposed to be pushed down and snap into the bottom mat. That prevents it from shifting around and possibly getting caught in the gas pedal.
  9. Bed steps, can't decide

    Get the steps. On my previous Rangers, I just used the bumper to step up, but the bumper on the new Rangers has been narrowed, which makes it difficult to use the bumper as a step.
  10. 2025 2.7 What Octane?

    Just completed an 8,000 mi cross country trip with my '24 2.7L and ran 87 octane of whatever brand I come across. The one consistent thing I did discover was that any gas with alcohol dropped the mileage about 3 mpg. If I ran gas with alcohol, the mileage might be 19, and that would jump to...
  11. What gives? No rear A/C vents?

    "Yes. There are rear floor vents under the seat - I just couldn’t get A/C to come out of them." I'm glad that you mentioned this. I knew the vents were there, but I had never checked them for functionality. I did that today and found that they are dead. Looks like we have a warranty claim for this.
  12. What gives? No rear A/C vents?

    I haven't read the entire six page thread, but my USA model 2024 Ranger XLT DOES have rear A/C vents under the front seats. They're not hard to see if you just look...
  13. Ford Performance Exhaust for 2.3L and 2.7L Finally.

    They ARE Borla. Look at the "Download Original Resolution Image" and you can see the impression on the muffler.
  14. The Stubby antenna

    That's to be expected. For best reception, antennas need to be much, much longer than modern fashion has made them. Look at how long car antennas from the 70's were, before this stubby craze kicked in. Three feet long was common. Stubby antennas for fashion. Long antennas for reception.
  15. Ford Pass App duration and services cost?

    If you have an iPhone, you can use Apple Maps thru Carplay for "free". The only cost is your phone service. I don't know about Android.
  16. 2024 Ranger STX carpeted floor mat options?

    Since you bought your truck new, you have earned "Ford points" . You can use them to purchase Ford accessories. I got something like 35,000 points when I bought my truck. Points are worth roughly $.01, I think. More than enough to get some mats. If you have the Ford app, that should show you how...
  17. Seat base.

    Boy, this is a perfect example of different preferences for different people. I find my XLT seat to be very comfortable. Go figure...
  18. Larger tires fuel economy

    Going to a wider tire also increases the tire height because the "70" in the size callout stands for the height of one sidewall being 70% of the width of the tire. So, 70% of 305 is greater than 70% of 285 (times two for two sidewalls) which increases tire overall height. There are calculators...
  19. Engine cover

    Rats just LOVE engine covers. It provides a perfect little home to build a nest and raise children. It also lets them eat wiring looms in privacy. Win-win for the rats!
  20. Post Lift Install Vibration

    If it's a pinion angle problem, why didn't the lift kit come with the required angle shim in the first place??? I assume that the front alignment was performed after both ends were lifted?
