After 45yrs of owning cars, trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, and other vehicles, what I’ve learned is it’s better to have the power and not need it than not have the power when you need it. I have almost always regretted going with the less expensive option when faced with the type of needs you...

I have the 2.7L Lariat FX4. I had the 3.6L Jeep Wrangler and dreaded mountain climbs at freeway speeds even after re-gearing to 4.88 with 37in tires. I’ve watched both of TFL videos (2.3 & 2.7 Ike pulls) and given that you plan to increase your trailer size, I’d stick with the 2.7. I also came...

I recommend this organizer.

That’s already been proven out on this engine over many years in the F150

You can skip the models you‘re not interested in this video of the 2.3L. Here is the 2.7L. I’m in the same boat as you and went with the 2.7… I love it…

I reached out to Dobinson last week. Their guidance wasn’t great, I’m holding off to see what BDS for now, having had a BDS 4.5in lift on Jeep.

I’ve had both, the G5 mounting bracket holes are higher than the G6. I didn‘t like the ‘V’ shaped G5 extender, so I bought an aftermarket ’U’ shaped extender on Amazon and made my own bracket. I posted a thread on what I did on this forum.

FWIW... I'm also in my mid-60's, I had the old 2.3L in my 2021 Ranger Lariat 4x4 and moved up to the 2.7L 2024 Ranger Lariat FX4. My impressions: 2.3L pros: Better gas mileage - 22mpg around town vs 18.4 under the same conditions in Alaska Enough power for daily driving and light loads...

I also had my hood adjusted by the dealer at the first service interval. My 5G Ranger also had the warning issue and the dealer replaced the hood latch under warranty.

Do a ‘CarPlay’ search…. Lots and lots of posts on this topic

Having been in manufacturing for decades; not having low frequency replacement parts as new models are being fielded is common practice.

I got tired of trying to get car play to work wirelessly. Now I just Bluetooth music and use ford’s base navigation. I haven’t tried cabling CarPlay.

… and a properly sized replacement shock absorber, which isn’t included in an $80 spacer lift. I’ll take a properly engineered solution over a cheap fix every day of the week. To each their own. I’m not an engineer or a mechanic; I’m only sharing my opinion and experience. And while you might...

That may be why I’ve been single for 18yrs. I don’t have to satisfy anyone’s feelings on my purchase decisions. That said, the two of them have already agreed on the need and the budget, or so it appears. On a related note, my brother bought a travel trailer without consulting his wife and she...
