The one from the original post

I actually got this exact "bonnet protector" on ebay, I really liked it until I drove 70+mph and it made my hood flutter, and it even made my side mirrors vibrate from the air displacement. Had to pull off I-40 to a small town church parking lot to remove it before it could cause any damage. It...

I hope the 85 octane was a typo - 87 is the minimum octane required for our trucks. You can cause engine knock by using the wrong fuel, and I wonder if that might even void your warranty if you use the wrong fuel and it leads to an issue. Just using the right fuel should help your MPGs. Edit: I...

That seems low for the 2.3L. I have the 2.7L and I thought it seems like the high MPGs are usually posted by people with the 2.3L. What were the wind conditions like? At 80mph for long distances, unless the wind is directly at your tail, it takes a toll on the MPG. What fuel were you running...

I've noticed my local dealership rarely has the part they need on hand when I've had a vehicle in for repair/warranty work. Best they can do is get the part overnighted. It's disappointing they didn't do this for you, considering your truck had to boomerang right back into the shop for the...

GREAT POST THANKS FOR THE WRITEUP

Those AlphaRex headlights look fantastic! I hadn't seen any real-life pics of them yet. Do you feel like they were a big upgrade over the stock reflector headlights? So far I am not impressed with these reflector LEDs. I've been following the post from Iron Ridge Offroad since they posted that...

The wind really highlights how this thing is just a box on wheels. Glad you had a great trip! That $5.79/gal though, ouch!!

Aha, thanks for this!!

Didn't know about the secret room until we got home, and the elevator was broken when we were there :LOL: I'm sure I'll find myself passing through again one day and I'll get to experience both. We crammed a lot into just 8 days, especially since we preferred driving during the day so we could...

We stayed at El Rancho as well, the restaurant serves a great burger. Love your stickers, you've got some parks that are still on my bucket list. I opted to put mine inside the cover:

Sounds like a great trip to break-in your new truck! I had a similar experience with the wind - there was a wind advisory the first couple of days between OK and Gallup. My trip meter showed I was only averaging around 18MPG for those first few hundred miles. The rest of the time was much...

Thanks! I have the 2.7L

My sister said the same thing, ha!

I got my first oil change at 2,500 miles, so I'll be getting my oil changed this weekend!

Hey guys, Wanted to share a few pictures and some thoughts after my first road trip in the Ranger! I rolled over to 5,000 miles on the truck somewhere in the Texas panhandle, and then rolled over to 7,000 in the Texas panhandle again on the way home. We hit some Route 66 stops on the way out to...

I think it's held on similarly to the Airplex - it has four metal clips that grab the underside edge of the hood. It came with four thick pieces of PPF, which I appreciated.

Just wanted to add to the thread for future people searching for a deflector that doesn't stick to the paint. I had one of those on a previous car and when I took it off after 10 years because some of the tape had gotten loose, I didn't like what I saw. I liked the one mentioned in this...

I don't see an actual poll on the post - but for a simple storage cubby that looks OEM, I'd pay $20-$35. Maybe $40 if it adds 5HP.

I had the 2.7L in my 2015 Ford Edge Sport. That's the main reason having the 2.7L in my Ranger was non-negotiable. I put 115k miles on it in 10 years, and never had any engine troubles. I was always very diligent about 5k mi oil changes (and still am). I ended up selling it to a family member...
