I just bought a heavy duty cotton version, thanks. lol @ "Engineers were so preoccupied with whether they could sell a trophy truck to the general public, they didn't stop to think if they should. "

https://fordauthority.com/2026/07/2027-ford-f-150-ditches-2-7l-v6-ecoboost-for-3-0l-as-standard-engine/ Not really a "Ranger vs competition" topic, but didn't know where else to put it. I think this is interesting for a number of reasons. Clearly Ford thinks the 3.0L is proven enough to put in...

I knew about from the get-go, but only because I watched YouTube reviews prior to buying..

I agree, and find it slightly odd because they're essentially sister publications under the same umbrella. Also, no one comments on R&T articles, so it's less fun to dive into.

I voted no. The 2.7L/3.0L EB family are great motors. A Bronco just hit 250k miles the other day with the 2.7L (tangent: and then promptly broke at 255k due to oil pump belt, lol, but I would consider that a huge win regardless; the consensus over at the Bronco forums IIRC would be to replace...

Basically agreed, the RR just has more clearance issues compared to a 3rd gen Taco. And the question of how much damage you're willing to tolerate... The way the rear lower control arms & armor is setup on a RR, plus the slightly low out-of-plane-gas tank, plus lower stock clearance in general...

For those wondering, Quinn has about $30k of aftermarket stuff bolted onto his truck to be able to survive this trail. This is definitely not the Raptor's natural habitat, haha. Impressive nonetheless.

Haven't done it myself, but I know Billie Bars sells a full cover replacement with cupholders. https://billiebars.com/products/billiebars-ranger-tailgate-cover-2024

Your examples are the only two problem children, everything else is readily available. The truck has been out in the US for just a hair over 2 years - deliveries started in something like Mar or Apr of 2024. There are plenty of non-chinesium toppers available...AluCab (South Africa), Smartcap...

I think it's pretty clear... if the Ford EV truck actually starts at $30k, and the Slate starts at $25k, Slate is 'cooked' as the kids say. You get all the modern amenities people expect in a vehicle in the Ford for just $5k more. The bare-bones Blank Slate has...nothing, and roughly the same...

I'm at work...what was the verdict? If the winner is Toyo OC AT3s, then it's a great video. If the winner isn't the exact tires I own, they're MONSTERS and UNEDUCATED. :)

Honestly, probably 4A/4H or 2H. Assuming you basically mean "forest service roads" there's really no need for any kind of 4WD 99.99% of the time. Recommend cycling to the correct (most comfortable) suspension setting and just have fun and let it rip in a regular drive mode. Or just cycle over...

If it's just the bushing, you shouldn't have to replace the whole thing, no?

Here's something to chew on... https://gearsmagazine.com/magazine/direct-connection-10r60-10r80-and-10r140-solenoids-make-shifts-happen/ Clear the DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) and Transmission Adaptive Tables using the scan tool. Drive the vehicle until the engine and transmission reach...

I own both, and my 25' ST is definitely a little smoother, but it's not a night and day difference. Maybe try a tranny re-learn on the truck?

You gotta go in with FORSCAN and change tire diameter (or circumference? can't remember off the top) to the new spec. There are walkthrough videos on YT...see link.

Can confirm 35x12.5s fit (with crashbars out and a lift, which the springs provide). That being said, with a spring-only lift I could see a hard hit topping it out into the wheel well liner, especially with all that weight added. Am I crazy?

5.0 without cylinder deactivation. Like a gen 2 5.0 I think? Reliability + nice linear power. Wouldn't ever want the 3.5L in anything I own...

Rad build! That SP cap looks great with the roof rack and really cleans up the goofy overhang aesthetic typically seen on trucks with canopy campers, and you've got the lights tying it all together. Chef's kiss as the kids say. Do you have any straight side-profile pics?
