  1. Gas Mileage Ranger 2.3L towing 6600lb Travel Trailer

    If your frontal area guess is accurate you’re over by about 30% (https://www.globalowneraem.ford.com/content/dam/global-owner/ford/ca/en-ca/documents/towing-guides/58380-PK8523-Ford-2024-RVTTGuide-Ev7-NS-Remediated.pdf) This, paired with the high speed you mentioned, has an awful lot to do with...
  2. Gas Mileage Ranger 2.3L towing 6600lb Travel Trailer

    What are you towing, and more specifically, what is the trailer’s frontal area?
  3. 2025 vs 2024 Lariat Found out good stuff at dealer today

    Go to ford’s website and use the “build your own” tool for a lariat 4x2 and look at the interior pictures. Then select 4x4 from that same page and look at those interior photos.
  4. Blackstone Oil Analysis @ 5.2k miles - Amsoil Signature Series (Ranger Raptor 3.0 L V6)

    The easy way is to contact Blackstone and ask for a sample container. They’ll send a small bottle with instructions for mailing it back.
  5. X-Plan vs Dealer Discounts

    As mentioned, $5k off is a good deal and better than x-plan. But also as mentioned, x-plan pricing is nice when you're placing an order as opposed to buying from dealer inventory. But, I'm just here to say that while x-plan may or may not be helpful to you, understand that you don't qualify for...
  6. 2025 vs 2024 Lariat Found out good stuff at dealer today

    Ford is eliminating the park assist feature across the board and consequently the electric shifter in the ranger lariat will be gone in 2025. I'm really surprised to hear that a 2024 lariat has the non-electronic shifter because that would mean it doesn't have park assist, which is an advertised...
  7. Considering Snow Tires and AT's; stock lariat fx4 and new rims too

    I have a 2025 Lariat on order and as with every other vehicle I've owned I'll buy a new set of rims and dedicated snow tires. I'll be getting two new sets of tires, one all-terrain, and one set of snow tires. My snow tire of choice is the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 and the all-terrain I want is...
  8. Blackstone Oil Analysis @ 5.2k miles - Amsoil Signature Series (Ranger Raptor 3.0 L V6)

    Thank you for sharing this with us. Did you get the TBN as well? It's nice to see how the engine is "breaking in", but I'm curious how well the oil is holding up too.
  9. Raptor vs Rubicon

    A youtube video taking both a Gladiator Mojave and a Ranger Rapter off-road.
  10. Thinking of fas-top tonneau & soft topper combo

    Has anyone installed the fas-top tonneau and soft topper combo on their Ranger? If so, any issues? Can you share photos? I’m also curious if there might be Black Friday sales or coupons around (their checkout process has a field for coupons). I just ordered a 2025 lariat so I’m not in a huge rush.
  11. J braces back in stock

    This info is outdated; Ford has updated language that states that the reinforcement is needed for load of 88lbs or more above the bed rails (on trucks built before 9/12) https://www.ford.com/product/load-box-reinforcement-kit-for-nonraptor-models-p2746486928
  12. long time Tacoma owner thinking about a 2025 Ranger

    I care about towing, payload, and fuel economy (the metric you left out), so I have a hard time believing that I'm in a minority of only 2% of the truck shoppers. Maybe I am, but I'd like to see something to back up your claim. For the record, raptors are freaking awesome. But they're not...
  13. long time Tacoma owner thinking about a 2025 Ranger

    I can't speak for bullets 2 & 3, but the submerged belt-driven oil pump? Yea, it's a real thing and I don't like the sound of it either. But when I dug into it I didn't find any sources that indicated it was an actual problem. So maybe every 100,000 miles it'll cost some number of dollars to...
  14. long time Tacoma owner thinking about a 2025 Ranger

    I respectfully disagree. They're different tools for different applications. For thousands less than a raptor one can get a loaded lariat and tow 2,000 lbs more and have more payload so that makes the lariat a no-brainer, right? Plus the ability to use regular unleaded and the lariat gets...
  15. New with questions

    Trucks built after 9/12 apparently do not need the bed-reinforcing j-braces.
  16. All systems fail

    In the spirit of "there's no such thing as bad press", your favored Grand Cherokee is on CR's list of 10 least reliable cars for this year, along with it's sibling, the Wrangler.. Congratulations.
  17. All systems fail

    Interesting! I’ll have to dig into that more (I’m assuming you’re talking about rotunda.service-solutions.com ?) I was talking about a simple old school load tester because they’re easy to get, borrow, or rent.
  18. Fuel - Octane

    I’m pretty sure the 2.7 calls for 87 octane, with premium recommended for best performance under severe duty, such as towing.
  19. All systems fail

    First thing I’d do is load test the battery (not just measuring resting voltage). I think auto parts places have them you can borrow or rent if you don’t have one. Bad batteries happen, and replacing batteries is often the first thing dealers do when diagnosing an electrical problem. If the...
