I had a 5th gen starting in 2021, and now a 6th gen ranger. Other than a few minor recalls on both, I've had no reliability or drivability issues with either. I think Ford may have a worse rap than they deserve for recalls. They tend to be proactive instead of reactive.
My 5th gen had 40k on...
That things always had bugs. Back before the '24s were launching, people were asking the same questions about inconsistencies on visuals, and confusion about packages cancelling other things out, or saying they weren't included. This isn't just a Ford Problem though.
The stock horn connector probably has a Ford part number on it. You could buy that connector, the appropriate pins, and then pin the aftermarket horn to it to make it plug and play.
If the horn doesn't have a number, check the plug. Searching that number should lead you the connector that fits...
I find my XLT seats comfy and have driven longish trips in them. Are yours manual or power? I wonder if that makes a difference. Mine are the power ones. I've seen a few posts on here about seats with defective foam. I wonder if yours are that way.
Had the dealer fix the rear door. My drivers side rear door always sat a little proud of the body at the bottom. No one I mentioned it to noticed, but it bugged me. At my last service, I brought it up to the dealer and they set up an appointment with their body shop to fix it under warranty. The...
When CarPlay stops working, the first thing I do is delete the vehicle profile from my phone and then the phone from the vehicle. It usually works then when I set it up like new. I had to do this a couple of times to my "21 Ranger, once to my wife's old Outback and to my mom's Buick last week...
I bought the rack with this kit included (which they don't seem to offer any more.) The pic here shows how it fits. Embark LS is just Ford's rebranded Retrax.
Yakima fits the Retrax like a glove. Pretty sure Yakima designed the towers specifically to fit the Retrax . It's also easy to remove if you don't want it on or want to switch up. I usually run the lower bars.
I bought them on eBay for roughly $40 each, so it looks like you have found. good seller. I assume if the fabric name hasn't changed then you should be safe on color.
Only the SuperCab versions from the 5G tilt. There was a recall that forced Ford to change them to tilting models since the headrests interfered with a child seat when installed. The non-folding headrests couldn't be removed at all since the seat in the SuperCab doesn't fold down.
Good info for the community. Which part number doesn't match the Lariat? Let me know and I'll edit my original post to clarify since someone searching online might end up there first.
