I’ve been really happy with mine. Between the extra power, better shift points, and improved throttle response, I’ve found it to be a solid quality of life improvement over stock, especially when running larger tires.

Because of how delicate the geological features are I know you can’t camp inside the park, but I think there are a few places nearby where you can, including an RV park. The park is only opened from sunrise to sunset, and being there after dark is only allowed with a permit. I’m actually in the...

Thanks, I'm honestly surprised it stayed as clean as it did after driving down the dirt road to get there.

I drove my Ranger out to Paint Mines Interpretive Park on the Colorado plains to take some photos of the formations, as well as the surrounding area. Of course I also had to take a few photos of my Ranger while I was out there.

I didn't put words in your mouth, I asking you a question about something you asserted. What doubt and long-term warranty issues are removed by only using motorcraft oil?

Are you saying that you’ve had experience with Ford or a Ford dealership violating the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act and denying a warranty claim because the owner used non-Motorcraft WSS-M2C961-A1 oil?

100% Correct I would say that while Group V oil does have significantly better chemical stability than Group III, the main benefit of that is the ability to run the oil longer between changes. However, for the 2.7L EcoBoost, that’s not advisable since, regardless of the oil you use, it'll still...

I’ve seen a lot of head to head comparisons between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Amsoil. Amsoil is likely the better overall oil, as it tends to produce marginally less wear on engine components, particularly in high performance applications, due to its low NOACK volatility. That said, I think...

It’s because the belt is lubricated. Having the belt lubricated, as opposed to running dry in open air, reduces friction by about 30%. That translates to roughly a 1% improvement in fuel economy. Given the potential downsides, I’m not sure that design is worth it, considering that a 1%...

My preference is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. It uses a very robust additives package and it's natural gas derived base oil provides really good shear stability and resistance to fuel dilution, both of which are critical for protecting the engine’s wet belt. Highly boosted, direct-injectioned...

Installed some @AdventureLab BRAPs on my Ranger. Now I have some additional tie down points, and I also don’t have to move my swing out toolboxes when I need to strap things down. Installation took a little bit of time, but was very easy. My only gripe is that the hardware that came with the kit...

Today I installed some @AdventureLab BRAPs on my Ranger. Now I have some additional tie down points, and I also don’t have to move my swing out toolboxes when I need to strap things down.

While you won’t break anything on the Ranger Raptor by leaving it in 4A all the time, it’s usually better to stick to 2H for daily driving on dry roads. Keeping it in 4A means the front axle and hubs are constantly spinning, which creates extra mechanical drag, hurts fuel economy, and adds...

Best of luck. I haven't gotten the current batch of recalls taking care of yet so let me know how all of that goes.

I think the logic is that they don't want to make the Ranger too nice and risk it cannibalizing F-150 sales. But I really don't understand the logic of that. I mean, at least for me personally, Ford can make the F-150 as nice as they want and I'm still not going to buy one. But maybe I'm wrong...

Well, when you're upside down at all times you just need more places to grab on to.

I disagree. I think the 5th-gen Ranger Raptor was a proper Raptor. It was more than just a trim upgrade, unlike say the the 2021 North American Ranger Tremor. It had a substantially upgraded suspension system, including a rear coilover setup, not leaf springs. It did use the fairly basic diesel...

This is a bit of an FYI post. I just read a comment from someone on here who wasn’t aware that Australia had a 5th-gen Ranger Raptor, which got me thinking that a lot of Americans probably aren’t aware that the Australian market gets more Ranger trims than the American market, since the Ranger...

True, though a AUS 2020 Ranger Raptor would still be a 5th gen Ranger. For everyone who doesn't fully know about the wonders of the Australian Ranger market they also have a current gen Ranger Tremor and Ranger Platinum.
