I had an annoying rattle on both B pillars, too. My dealer fixed it during the 1st service. According to another forum there is a Ford Technical Service Information/Technical Service Bulletin (TSI/TSB 23-2222?) available on that for the 2023/2024 Rangers, but I am not sure if this is correct...

Hi, While discussing the topic in a private chat with another German member, I just found out that my front lift spring coil manufacturer is not OME but H&R, while the shops invoice says OME Liftkit. Nevertheless, the entries in the Vehicle Registration Certificate are reflecting this...

Hi Matt, the truck sits way more leveled than before. The rear sag with the original springs made the front extremely light, which caused a lot of understeering. With the OME springs it is a total different ballgame! The riding stability is perfectly fine, with or w/o load. Gaining a bit more...

I have the OME rear coil springs for 200 kg constant load incl. +30 mm rise, as the back was sagging too much when all the gear for trips was installed/loaded. Front springs are OME w/o additional load but +30 mm. During camping/offroad trips the setup is typically as follows. - RSI Smartcap...

Your gearbox skid plate seems to have an upgraded design with more beads and different outlets/vents. This version does not seem to be available (yet) at European Rival stores...

Looks like a lot of offroad fun! Are these the 6mm or 4mm Rival aluminum skid plates?

Overall, I am very happy with my RSI Adventure Smartcap.

Sorry, should probably have written that the trailer is for a sailplane. 😉

Glider trailer, to the hangar in Bavaria...

I noticed something like this from time to time when I drove backwards into my garage, but since the floor is paved, I had previously attributed it to this circumstance.

Hi, I am really happy with the RSI Smartcap EVO - quality and look! Already had the Evo Sports on my previous Volkswagen Truck (Amarok - not sold in the US) and went for the Smartcap Evo Adventure for my RR, as I do not need the windows and preferred the look w/o side windows in the canopy even...

IMHO, the brakes are really great, even at top speed on a German highway. The limiting factor is the AT´s lack traction on paved roads, but that´s to be expected, not being designed as road racing tires... 😎

Here you can find a video for info. or here And no, I am neither working for them, nor selling these... 😉

Hi, I assume that 4WD and diff locks should typically be sufficient for the climbs, but on the descends chains might be clever. Thus, I got myself a set of König K-Summit XXL (for 285/17-17), even though the price is high. According to the videos I saw online, installation seems pretty easy...

Not sure it really helps, but Ford´s Body and Equipment Mounting Manual (BEMM) chapter 1.11.9 indicates a height of 1926mm (which equals 75,83") for the Ranger Raptor Base Kerb Weight, measured at antenna base. Of course it also says dimensions are subject to manufacturing tolerances and refer...

Hi, I set the "Heated Steering Wheel Auto Shutoff Time" to 1 (10 minutes) and it shuts off after 10 minutes but the control light in the on screen menu remains "On" after the shutoff. I also set the shutoff time for the heated front seats to 10 minutes. Same result, shutoff after 10 minutes...

These days 95 E5 costs around 1,74€/Liter - coupons for 400 liters per month would be handy. Thank you for your service!

Well, it´s a miracle that this truck made it to Germany at all... ;)

Hi, After more than a year of reading in this fantastic forum, I decided to finally join, today. I already learned a lot, even before I bought my own Ranger Raptor end of 2024. Meanwhile, I drove it for about 13k Miles (21k km) and even though it is the EU version with 292 PS, I can´t knock...
