30amps. A shame, but better than no amps. For the Orion XS I'd probably just limit the Orions draw from the alternator to 25 amps via the app. You know the 300ah lithium would if given the chance take all the amps the Ranger's alternator could supply. But noted to get even the 25amps to the...
Looks like this thread was forgotten :(
Just got a Ranger XLT, soon to get a camper (Casita). The Casita in question has the new 12vdc only 4.3cf Everchill which is supposed to be super efficient, e.g. small amp draw (start up 8-9amps and then 0.8amps running). I'm hoping via the 7 pin charging...
I 'searched' a downloaded owners manual but didn't see.
On the Ranger5G forum is says 170-180. Anybody agree or have
first hand knowledge.
Why asking. We're getting a camper and down the road a bit I'd like to add DC-DC charging via
a Victron Orion XS. If it is 170-180 amps we will be golden...
Aarrrrg. It's a video. At first I thought just a screen shot. Color me daft. Watched the video and had sound. It's a cool graphic....I still want numbers.
Jason, what am I seeing here. Oil temp on the right, rpm's on the left, and you're heading northwest but not very quickly ;) Need more info, but it's better than nothing I suppose.
Jason thanks. I've got one of these en route https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076XVQMVS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Hoping I can push some screen buttons and get an idea or two of whats going on temp wise. I looked at ScanGauge2 but didn't like any of the places on/near the dash I could put it.
Ron you're a hero! What a treasure trove! Just downloaded from your link to my pad. We've got a long trip coming up. I'll ask the wife to pad up the info as we cruise along.
The off-road screen button; now this brings up a concern....I might sound young and hip but we are long in the tooth/and...
Ok gents, thanks! I'll put the transmission cooler monies on the retractable tonneau ;) Rod thanks for the glowing report/comparison to the other TWs you've had. Driving to Alaska would be a dream, though we have driven from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay on one of many trips we done there. Of ever...
Only one day of ownership so far, and I was looking high and low, on the screen, or a physical button everywhere for the locking rear differential. Clearly stated I have one on my window sticker......so spinning the wheel for drive mode. When I got to sand, mud, ruts suddenly a graphic appears...
Bought yesterday, and very soon to drive to very warm Texas and haul home a Casita.
My Ranger is the 2.4L.
Should I consider adding a transmission cooler? I know Mishimoto has the universal fit stacked plate
model. They look very affordable and this is something my local mechanic could easily...
Thanks Scooter. Now this will sound crazy but the wife was looking at hybrid Mavericks yesterday while I was Ranger shopping. She brought it up at dinner tonight so that means she's jones'ing :)
The Mrs. chose a Spirit Deluxe. Went with the 300ah lithium and 2000w Renogy inverter but know there is no intertie with the ac breaker panel and the inverter. To run anything from the inverter you have to plug something into it. Forum folk theorize it is to keep nuckleheads like me from trying...
BC Blue thanks so much! Dealer is to install the modular Ford Ranger bed liner, hopefully soon. Will my choice of the Syneticusa MR for Ranger work with this bedliner, your best guess is fine. Also thanks for the links above!
Thanks ATXian. I agree the black outs and the sand works well. Do you think the shocks with this Ranger will be a plus or minus when towing the camper?
Thanks and looks like a Christmas present of goodies I didn't even know about. Locking rear diff? I'll have to google to see where it is amongst all the buttons. One thing I'm also looking for is a cup/cap to put over the 4H 4L switching knob to keep the pooches feet off of it (miniature...
Hello to all and thanks for being here.
Traded a 2021 4R for a 2025 Ranger XLT yesterday.
With the dive home I'm up to 45 miles :)
Why rid of the 4Runner? Wife wants a Casita. We pick it up in Rice Texas a bit over a month from now.
The Ranger I found was the most 'affordable' that I could find...
