  1. Ranger is 2nd most reliable midsize truck in Consumer Reports latest reliability report

    The Edmunds Ranger review was exactly what tipped the scales in favor of the Ranger for me. I was considering a Honda Ridgeline as well, but I also used Edmunds to tell me if I was getting a good deal or not. I simply could not get even a “fair” deal on a Ridgeline, and Ford offered their...
  2. Reset of auto window switch

    We just had a big ice storm and after attempting to open my driver’s side window multiple times (I eventually did get it to open), I noticed that the 2nd switch detent stopped working. I was due for an oil change anyway, so I brought my ‘25 Ranger into my dealership and explained the issue. Sure...
  3. Apple Car Play Quit Working

    On my ‘25 Ranger XLT with tech pack, my iPhone Bluetooth settings indicate that my phone is not connected to my Ranger - yet everything on CarPlay works just fine. Odd. I gave a few half hearted attempts to address this, but I eventually gave up because everything seems to work as it should. I...
  4. Toyota has Ford worried???

    Last April (2025) I traded in my 2013 Tacoma V6 for a 2025 Ranger 2.3 XLT. My Tacoma only had 86k on it, but it was rusting out badly underneath. It had been recalled for frame rust and the dealership only sprayed some white foamy crap into some of the holes in the frame rails. Things like...
  5. Side Curtain Recall

    I have been holding off due to all of the reviews here noting damage - just like the OP. Since there is no way to know whether the technician that will actually be performing the job is proficient at it or even knows to wash his/her hands before attempting the work, it is best to take as many...
  6. Winter is coming! How do you clear the snow on your vehicle??

    For years I have just used a (well used) driveway sealer brush. Sometimes the snow is crusty and you need something stiff enough to bust up that crust. I also have a Snobrum as mentioned above, but the stiff bristles on the driveway sealant broom actually seem less damaging to the paint than the...
  7. 2025 2.3L Engine Trouble already??

    Although I am inclined to agree with you that the new 2.3 engine in the ‘25 Ranger might be detuned in comparison to the Mustang application, I have not been able to find anything (dyno test or comparison) to confirm it - other than Ford’s unchanged ‘25 spec of 270 hp. It may indeed be putting...
  8. Leer HF650M on 2025 Ranger?

    I am at least relieved that I am not alone! Thank you for responding!
  9. Leer HF650M on 2025 Ranger?

    Thank you! Yes, the Leer rail clips are different, but they mount in the same places. The Leer also came with yellow safety straps that the Bakflip does not appear to have. My Leer kit also came with a short, 2 or 3 foot roll of very sticky rubbery stuff that is about 1 1/2” wide that I still...
  10. Leer HF650M on 2025 Ranger?

    Thanks, everyone! I eventually figured it out. The rail clamps/clips are nothing like the ones shown in the Leer video - where they appear to be mounting the cover on an F-150. Instead, on my Ranger, I first had to remove 4 plastic push pin type fasteners that Ford used to mount the plastic bed...
  11. Leer HF650M on 2025 Ranger?

    I bought a Leer HF650M Tonneau cover through Ford for my 2025 Ranger XLT. It arrived today and when I unboxed it, I was surprised to find no instructions! I watched the generic installation video by Leer, but not only is it not very detailed, it also does not mention some of the parts that came...
  12. 2025 2.3L Engine Trouble already??

    The same MPC 2.3 motor was in the 2024 Mustangs, so it is not exactly new.
  13. Undercoating Recommendation for the Northeast

    As much as I can appreciate the differences in the product types, I think that the most important aspect is the application of whatever product you choose. A while ago I watched a clip of a NHOU treatment application and it was impressive. They had specialized high pressure wands that reached...
  14. Undercoating Recommendation for the Northeast

    From all that I have researched on this topic, New Hampshire Oil Undercoating seems to be the best- but it is also pretty expensive at $800-$1,000 per application. They have specialized equipment for the application and they put the vehicle on a lift, remove the wheels and mask off brake rotors...
  15. Sneak Peak - Another New Product - BRAPs - Bed Rail Attachment Points

    One of the only things that I was disappointed with about my new Ranger is that the tie down points do not work well for my trail bikes. These should rectify that problem. Thanks!
  16. Best Tonneau for 2024 Ranger XLT

    When I search the Bison website, they do not list any hard Tri-fold covers for a 2025 Ranger…?
  17. Best Tonneau for 2024 Ranger XLT

    I am considering this Amazon cover: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CNV7BFPC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2LBV45BRT78XI&psc=1
  18. Best Tonneau for 2024 Ranger XLT

    I am sad to see this post. I was considering one as it is an hard cover and it does not completely block the rear window when rolled up - like all of the other hard folding covers do.
  19. Interesting mileage experiment.

    With only 3,000 miles on my ‘25 2.3 Ranger, I have been using Eco mode for most of my around town driving, and I like it. I am learning to manually down shift when I encounter any steep/long uphills. The transmission seems to respond well. I only wish that the vehicle would stay in the selected...
