My main hobby is playing golf, usually play about four times a week. Had what I think is a lifetime achievement on October 14, 2024 made an Albatross or double eagle, on a par 5. Hit driver off the tee and 7 wood in the hole from about 200 yards out. Didn’t see it go in the hole, was a blind...
I think you should separate the tonneau cover from the bed cap stake pockets. The type of tonneau cover you choose should match your intended use and how secure you would like the contents in the truck bed to be. If you want to install items above the truck bed that is where the stake pockets...
Like others have said, I would get with your cover manufacturer to start with if water is leaking through the panels. One area not mentioned is the bed caps are not level, they are sloped at the front and back which can present an issue when installing the cover rails where they contact the bed...
I’m happy with trading in a 2022 FX4 Lariat for my current 2024 FX4 Lariat. I was disappointed with needing to install the J-Braces and bed caps not supporting much weight. Since the 2024 is wider than the 2022 so I had researched and found that the Retrax Pro XR cover on the 2022 would not...
Bought mine in October when my wife wanted tan seats and white exterior. Matches the color of her Subaru Outback. What a difference in the ride quality compared to the 2022 Ranger. Found this one on dealer lot with the 2.7 V6. Added tonneau cover, Bed Rug impact mat, and built a bed rack...
To get ready for a recent trip to Florida and to make my Ranger more useful to me, added the following:
J-Braces to support additional load on truck bed. Found that using a 1/4“ drive 5/16 deep well socket on the backside of the white fender clips helped remove them. Just pushed the socket...
I ordered aluminum shims from 1.25 inches width x 3.0 inches long x 1.0 inches deep from On-Line Metals. Then drilled and tapped the shims for 3/8 inch studs. I wanted to make sure the shims were higher than the plastic bed caps such that any weight will be applied to the truck bed. The...
The build date of my Ranger is 8/6/2024. Wish I could get information from Ford for what recalls and customer satisfaction programs are applicable to my VIN, however when I put my VIN number in on website it returns No Recalls and No Customer Satisfaction Programs are applicable to my truck...
Hi I’m new to the Ranger Forum, traded in my 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4 on a 2024 Ranger Lariat FX4 with the 2.7 L V6 following a test drive of the 2024 Ranger. To me the ride quality on the 2024 is much better and I like the full power seats. Not to mention that my wife wanted the tan interior...
Thanks for the information on the aluminum shims, that is a great idea. I made some bed cap rails out of full 1 5/8” Unistrut with 1/2 size Unistrut for the cross-braces to mount a roof carrier on top of the bed on the 2022 Ranger I previously had. I was looking for the best way to mount this...
