  1. Towing fuel economy... What are you getting?

    When I am towing I always use the tow mode and then I'll usually put the instant fuel economy display in the centre. On my most recent trip heading to Westcove campground (north of St.Paul, AB) I let it go into 9th for the 1st bit and then I put it down to 8th and even though the RPM was sitting...
  2. Towing fuel economy... What are you getting?

    Well after 3 trips with my new truck towing my trailer, I am quite happy with it! It pulls better than the 2.3L in my 2023 truck and the fuel economy towing seems to be a tick better as well. While towing I tend to keep my speed between 90-100 KM/H. I keep 10th locked out and depending on how's...
  3. Issues with Apple Carplay crashing + 2026 Ranger Lariat + iPhone 17 Pro Max

    I'm sure it does..... I honestly don't know as I have never downloaded maps for offline use, never really thought of it. I will have to try that... I have an old ipod touch that maybe I could connect to the truck, use it instead of my phone for music and maps on long trips...
  4. Issues with Apple Carplay crashing + 2026 Ranger Lariat + iPhone 17 Pro Max

    I went on a 2 1/2 road trip to go camping on Friday. I have an iphone 17 pro max. I''ve never had any issues until this trip. About 2hrs in and my phone kept disconnecting. Of course this is when I needed Google Maps the most as I had never been to where I was going and there were a few turns. I...
  5. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    I would, but the closest one is about 60km from me. There is a single pad truck scale about 10km from my storage lot that could possibly use, I have thought of it, just haven’t been able to actually go and weigh it yet. That’s why I did the true tongue weight today so I at least knew that! I...
  6. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    I brought the trailer to work this morning as I'm heading out after work and filled the water tank full. I then went onto the most level part of our gravel yard and disconnected the trailer. Measuring from the ground to the top of the fender the front measured at 35.5 inches and the rear...
  7. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    For everyone recommending the WDH, I have found two that I am assuming would meet what I would need.... The trailer has a GVWR of 4,000 pounds and I have no plans to get a bigger trailer or tow anything bigger with this truck. The Curt brand I would also get the sway control thing as well. One...
  8. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    Got the fuel economy numbers for the 1st tow. Going there you go up in elevation from 2,326 FT to 3,020 FT and going back home you go down. Never went over 100 KM/H when towing the trailer on the highway. 1st fill up I averaged 11.7 US MPG (20.2 L/100KM; 5.0 KM/L) and drove 218 KM's 2nd fill up...
  9. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    Sorry about delay in replying, haven’t had much time since been busy with the nieces and camping. We had a spare ball hitch laying around at work so I decided to install that and see if it would help at all. It raised it a good 1-1.5 inches from the hitch I was using. I will be checking the...
  10. 1st trailer hookup, how’s it look?

    How’s it look? I think I’ll either need to get air bags or upgrade the shocks. It is sitting a bit different with the same setup as the previous Ranger with fx4 pkg. I’d rather not get a WDH if I can help it. It pulled good the short distance to work!
  11. Upgraded Ranger Owner!

    Thank you! thanks! thank you! I think that’s a pretty good colour. Of the colours they had for trucks with the 2.7L, this was the best. I also think the black bed cover and black logos work well with this colour!
  12. Upgraded Ranger Owner!

    This was before the bed liner and bed cover were installed.
  13. Upgraded Ranger Owner!

    Good day everyone! My name is Johnathan and I live in Stony Plain, AB. I am not new to the Ford Ranger, this is actually my 2nd one! I did have a 2023 Ranger Lariat, but have since upgraded to a 2026 Ranger Lariat in Desert Sand colour. Even though they are the same truck the 2026 model is a...
  14. New Desert Sand 2026 2.7L Lariat owner!

    My old 2023 Ranger had just a tick over 50,000 KM's on it and they gave me $40,000 for it! MSRP was $65,195 and I paid $62,384 before extras, taxes, no doc fee. My dad works at the dealership so got family pricing... I got a 5yr/80,000KM service plan as I only put on maybe 6,000 KM's a year...
  15. New Desert Sand 2026 2.7L Lariat owner!

    I ended up trading in my 2023 Ranger Lariat on Tuesday. It was a good truck, but it was time for an upgrade! It pulled my small travel trailer good, but since I'm going to BC next year, I wanted something with a bit more power. I had to go with what would fit in my parkade as it has a 6.25' max...
