Hey yall! A bit overdue but I finally picked up my 2026 Ford Ranger XLT 2.7L in Marsh Grey two days ago. Been loving it so far! Let me get the bad out of the way though... 1. Passenger headlamp did not work. Took it back to dealer and they found a bent pin from the factory and fixed. Shocked...

Hey guys. Got my 2026 XLT this week! Have had a few issues unfortunately but still loving the truck. One issue was that the right headlight was not working in low beam. They found that from the factory a pin was bent in the plug. They bent it back straight, plugged it back in, and it's working...

Hey guys. I've had my Ranger 2 days, 90 miles on it so far. 3 times so far, in this 95F muggy weather, while cranking the AC at LO or low 60s, the temp will randomly switch to HIGH. Super weird! I'm honestly not sure if I had it in AUTO or not as I'm still learning these fancy controls... But...

Hey guys, thanks for your input here! This is my first time driving a truck, and first time driving a RWD vehicle, so appreciate the advice. Brought home my 2026 XLT yesterday and love it. One thing I noticed though in my first 20 miles is that, when in stop and go traffic, when I accelerate...

Well, this wasn't the Ranger Day post I was hoping to make, but here we are! Picked up my brand new Ranger XLT today that I ordered 3 months ago. Super excited! Took the afternoon off work to tinker with it and plan the accessories I will install on it soon. Anyway, drove it less than 11...

Hey guys. Just curious to see if anyone else bought the Smoker's Package OEM from Ford. I bought it separately online from Ford, and got my truck today, but not sure if I like it or not... just wanted to see what you guys thought and if you could post pics. thanks! Part # 5L8Z-7804810-AAA

Waiting for my truck to be delivered and realized I've seen so many different versions of the Drive Mode / 4WD knob online, all on 2026 models. One looks very basic, one looks sleeker with a DRIVE MODES text written at the top, and a third also has a center button. What affects which one you...

Hey guys. My Ranger finally shipped today! The delivery estimate updated to a 7 day window. I am going to take a few days off just to enjoy the truck and install all the stuff I bought for her. So my question is, how accurate is the delivery estimate? Dealer already told me they need 1-2 days...

Hey guys, curious if anyone else out there had their truck go In Production recently, or had a recent blend date. Mine went In Production 02 July, Blend Date was 09 July, and modules popped on the As Built tracker on 11 July. A week past my blend date, and no further updates... also no Tear...

Hey guys. I had read before of the previous 5 Gen that some companies made a very easy to install window module kit that allowed you to auto open/close all 4 windows from the driver's seat, and also allowed you to automatically open and close the windows using the key fob. Does anyone know if...

Hey guys. Went to check my order tracker as my Ranger was scheduled to be In Production next week. Welp, the tracker updated completely and reads totally different now! I also was required to log in to get any meaningful data. Attached a screenshot. Looks like no more Built date on the pizza...

Hey ya'll. I have to assume that bed lighting is a modern amenity? My Ranger will be my first truck and I didn't opt for the LED bed lighting because I didn't want the entire Convenience Package (no need for power, didn't want the silly wireless charger up front). Anyway, what did guys do...

Hey ya'll. In short I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying the FX4 package with my Ranger getting delivered in a few weeks. I went with the locking rear diff, but am now realizing I could have gotten the entire FX4 package for about 700 bucks more. Anyway, I'm also now realizing that I don't...

Hey yall, curious if any of you have the 2.7L V6 and also the Rival 4x4 Engine Skid Plate? I am thinking of getting it to protect the plastic oil pan, but want to make sure it doesn't inhibit the oil changes too much. It does have the nice port window. I'd most likely leave the port cover off...

Hey guys. Still waiting for my 2026 XLT order and in the meantime was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to hide the second digital engine coolant temp gauge on the screen? Seems silly for them to have that there when the lefthand 1/3 of the cluster is already reserved for the first...

Hey guys. Stumbled upon this post about adding heated mirrors to an XLT https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/adding-heated-mirrors-to-xlt.27183/ It made me realize: wait, do the XLTs not come with heated mirrors? WTF? My 11 year old Subaru came with them standard! Curious, do heated mirrors...

Hey guys. Call me crazy, but I wished the 2.7L V6 Ecoboost version of our truck had some sort of emblem somewhere to designate it. I had thought about putting a vintage V6 emblem on the tailgate, but it just didn't look quite right. I found these convincing OEM-looking emblems from Tuffskinz...

Hey guys. Bought my house 6 years ago and was stoked to finally have a 2 car garage! Unfortunately, the house was built in the 1970s so it is a garage of yesteryear, with just 7 foot ceilings and the absolute bare minimum of space. My current Subaru just barely fits comfortably... I've taken...

Hey guys. I ordered a 2026 Ranger XLT without the 120V/400W in-bed power package. I know it'll just come with a blank, black steel plate attached to that location in the bed with 4 screws. Curious if anyone has done any mods with that? I think it could be useful for something but have to think...

Hey guys. I thought I read about someone on here needing FORScan in order to get the tuning settings on the stock stereo. Is that true? Ordered a 2026 XLT so wasn't sure if maybe it just wasn't added to the base XL, or maybe I just heard wrong, or maybe the Lariat with the B&O sound system has...
