It’s funny when there’s an abundance/dearth of a specific model in an area - I’ve heard that it’s often a product of the dealership’s strategy when ordering vehicles.
Factors:
- Historical presence: Dealers may be inclined to order more Rangers if there are already a lot of them, even previous...
Doesn’t use email? That’s either BS or completely insane in 2026 - almost like they just don’t want to put anything in writing.
I bet the Google search Ai could dig something up relatively easily.
It’s basically clingy WD-40, which is why you should make sure it doesn’t get on the brakes (unless you want the stopping distance of a small aircraft).
Spraying on the exhaust isn’t harmful, it just makes an awful smell when it burns off.
The reason I like Fluid Film so much is that it’s the...
Don’t hesitate to shop around with dealerships.
Well run dealerships know customers will go out of their way to come back if they’re treated right. A little extra effort on their part could translate to your next vehicle purchase there. Dealer in my hometown would always do cabin and engine air...
I was between surface shield and fluid film but went with the latter.
A lot of the negative reviews for surface shield actually referred to the spray cans they shipped in, not the product itself (lot of product lost to leaking, clogging). So not a problem if you’ve got your own spraying...

Ya’ll can grill this guy in a week if you want to learn more about EU Rangers and MS-RT from a primary source.
Hold up, you might want to email RA Ranger to check if it will work with a U.S. spec Ranger.
Several of us in late-2025 early 2026, got boards that didn’t work, allegedly because Ford made some hard/software changes.
Translation: based on the information you’ve provided we don’t think this is an issue, good luck.
I don’t think it’s considered fully broken in yet?
take notes if anything changes - it’s good you have this documented through the dealer. kudos to them for reaching out to FMC instead of just...
Be open minded on price guys, he’s taking a leap of faith not knowing if all this work will result in a dozen sales or a few thousand.
It’s hard to say without seeing the prototype - I think people would pay more if it could pass for OEM. I know 90% of R&D will be getting the fit right and...
Main reason I got a Ranger was the ability to go places where with larger trucks can’t
Parking downtown or in “tight” spaces, not a problem.
Driving up the side of a mountain, usually not a problem.
And I don’t think a test drive alone will highlight just how much more nimble the Ranger is…...
I’ve taken the doors apart several times on my Ranger (XLT).
The way it’s designed, I don’t think a substantial amount of water could get in without one of the door seals being visibly messed up.
Concur with JJ, ask the dealer to check the firewall area for a leak.
This is awesome!
I’m definitely interested in the voltage gauge and/or the aux switch version.
Consider mirroring the model for the other side, for those of us without the advanced trailer tow package controls
Would pay a bit extra for a 20-30% gyroidal infill too!
Here are some manuals that might answer your questions. My one in-person experience with them were ones mounted in firefighting vehicles.
The camera was mounted just inside the grille of the truck, as high as possible, or on the roof of the vehicle (but only if there was some sort of brush...
Nice! This seems like a budget version of the FLIR PathfinderIR used by firefighters.
Always wanted this but could never justify the price - cuts through smoke like it isn’t there
