  1. Might buy a 2025 ranger, does "hands on wheel" alert turn off?

    I saw so many people complaining about this warning I almost didn't buy my 2025 Lariat. I had it since August and have never seen this warning so I still don't know what everyone is talking about.
  2. I've owned my 2025 XLT for 2 weeks and I already hate the 12" vertical screen and lack of knobs

    Not trying to be an ass or disrespectful...but why did you buy it if you don't like it? It is not like it is a hidden feature. I was kind of worried I would miss some buttons but the important ones ( to me anyway... volume, heat) are there. I really like the look of the screen in the ranger...
  3. UGH. Entire antenna assembly ripped off in car wash. (hole in roof)

    i agree but it is winter here and -10c (14 f) and a hand wash is impossible, i take mine to a touchless car wash in the winter about every second fill up. i like that it rinses the bottom too...maybe just a placebo effect but i like it. this sucks for OP and looks pretty scary to me. that...
  4. Plug patch on tire shoulder

    you are right that a tire fixed with a plug-patch combo is considered safe, but no one will do the plug patch combo this close to the tire edge. you say never to be used on sidewalls but that extends a bit up into the side of the tire tread too. some tire companies publish diagrams of where...
  5. Plug patch on tire shoulder

    Unfortunate. I had this happen in the same spot with the Hankooks my 2020 Ranger and I used it as an excuse to get some nicer tires (i did like the OEM Hankooks though). I am sure you had all the usual lectures but i would not feel safe with my tire plugged like this. If it was farther from...
  6. Anyone test drive or have any experience as to rather an Fx4 or standard 4x4 suspension rides better?

    I had the same question about ride but bought a 25 Lariat with fx4 and never tried a non fx4 so I can't really answer your question but fx4 gets the differential locker as part of the package and that was why I picked the truck I did. You can get differential locker as a stand-alone option but...
  7. Sensitive gas pedal

    Both the 2.3 and 2.7 are pretty "peppy". My Lariat has a limit button and when I click that the truck won't go over the speed limit. I like using it in areas where I know there are speed cameras. Would that feature help?
  8. US Market Dashcam USB Port - on rearview mirror base?

    i don't have a usb port on the mirror in my 25 ranger lariat bought in canada. i used a hardwire fuse tap kit and ran it down the a pillar. i cut the hole for my wire in same location on the mirror as we have a little blank spot there. i got a little worried dust might get in there and cause...
  9. BRAKES! or lack thereof!

    i had a 2020 ranger lariat with 55k kms on it. the brake pedal was pretty soft. i traded it for a 25 ranger lariat. i never did any test drive before i bought it so i had no idea what the brakes felt like. within 30 seconds of driving off the lot for the first time a car in front of me...
  10. How to prep my 2025 Ranger Raptor for using a commercial car wash

    i am not an expert, but here is what i do: - full hand wash every now and again with one of those debris separator racks in the bottom of my wash bucket (i don't remember the correct name for this). - put that meguires hybrid ceramic wax spray on it while it is wet and then dry the truck. this...
  11. 25 Ford Ranger XLT with damage from factory

    Now you went through all that to get it fixed you might as well give the truck a chance. They are fun when not in the garage and hopefully that is your first and last issue!
  12. The Annoying "Hands on Wheel" Alert

    maybe that is why i have never seen this alert
  13. The Annoying "Hands on Wheel" Alert

    this is my experience as well. i had a 2020 lariat and traded it in for a 2025 lariat and before i did i read a lot of posts complaining about this alert. i was thinking, gee that would be annoying but it wasn't enough to stop me from buying a 2025. i had my 2025 since mid august and have not...
  14. Is there a best time of the year to buy a Ranger?

    Do your research and decide on an OTD price you are happy with. If the dealer has the truck you want at that price buy it and don't look at prices after ;) maybe if you wait you save $500 or so...or maybe you have to settle for a color you are only ok with, etc.
  15. DASH CAM HELP!

    fuse taps are pretty easy to do. i have very little experience with fixing/adding things to cars. i put a dashcam in my 2020 with a hardwire fuse tap kit and it worked fine for years. i have a 2025 now and i tried to put in a new dashcam. i tapped fuses 28 and 35 but seems i got something...
  16. Is a screen protector worth it?

    I put one on mine. I just parked it and had a lot of glare from the sun. I should have paid more attention and got a matte one. Other than the glare i forgot it was there and no change to the sensitivity. I did see some people saying it caused the screen to overheat in certain vehicles. I...
  17. Airbag recall fix didn’t go well (wait if you can)

    sorry they did such bad job. i had mine done about 2 weeks ago. truck was there almost all day. i didn't see any damage like you had, but my headliner was covered with greasy hand prints. how they decided it was ok to give a brand new truck back to a customer dirty like mine was crazy...
  18. 25 Ford Ranger XLT with damage from factory

    i suspect that is easier said than done unfortunately
  19. 25 Ford Ranger XLT with damage from factory

    sorry this happened to you. i think many vehicles are damaged in transit or before we take delivery. my friend at work had a honda that had significant bumper damage. the dealer wanted him to take delivery but he refused and he had to wait until another one came in with options he picked...
  20. Side Curtain Airbag Recall / Warranty Repair Now Available

    thank you. they did manage to clean it up pretty well at least. i really wonder that if they say your truck is ready and in a dirty state i wonder what happens when you can't see what it going on. i live in a city too and never did any of my own work. my brother does his own oil changes and...
