Had to drive to Portland today to run some errands. Grabbed a burger in The Dalles and stopped at the John Day Dam to eat lunch. Saw a bunch of super scoopers that kept landing in the Columbia River to fill up since there's a bunch of wildfires near Mt. Hood. Pretty cool to watch. Never seen...
Ethanol has been used in gasoline for decades now. Manufacturers have specifically designed the engines with this in mind. The extra 5% shouldn't make any measurable difference in carbon build up, but may result in an ever so slight MPG reduction because ethanol isn't as energy dense as...
Oregon checking in. I don't see many 6G Rangers in my region of NE Oregon/SE Washington. A lot more of the 5G Rangers floating around here, still in the minority compared to full size trucks though. I had a co-worker with a 6G but he recently upgraded to an F-150 because he needed more towing...
I've owned one car with leather seats in my life. All it took was one summer of dealing with that to know I'd never do it again. I have the cloth seats in my XLT. If you aren't already, maybe using a sunshade will keep the heat from baking your leather seats? I use one now even though I have...
I saw a news article talking about how Utah completely redesigned all their plates (click here to see a gallery of the new designs). I'd be curious to know what plate designs everyone likes? It could be standard or specialty.
On my Ranger I use the Oregon disabled veteran plate because it...
As others have said, this is common across all Ford models. I think it has to do with whatever device measures the ambient temperature. My wife's car (2025 Nissan Rogue) is also usually off by 3-4 degrees, but corrects to within 1-2 degree once you're out driving around. I think its just cars...
First thing I did was install some Husky all weather floor mats and mudflaps from RokBlokz. I'm still debating what I want to do with the bed but at this point I'm leaning towards spraying it and doing a TPE bed mat. Tonneau cover is on my to-do list for later, but that'll be all I plan to do to...
I was just thinking about this the other day. I have not seen the funnel anywhere in my truck - admittedly I haven't looked very hard. Maybe later today I'll go dig around and report back if I can find it.
I don't mind the ACC. I feel like the automatic braking is slightly more aggressive than I'd like. What really annoys me is the lane assist. I wish I could toggle it so I could turn on cruise control without it activating lane assist. I have all the settings turned down as low as possible but...
Was it early enough in the morning that your headlights were on? I'm wondering if the cornering lamps caused some sort of electric short that stalled your engine.
I went with Husky Weatherbeater floor mats and have been less than impressed with them. On my Maverick I had a Rough Country tri-fold cover that could sit up against the back window like you describe. Unfortunately they don't make one for the Ranger so I'll probably get the hard roll-up cover...
My Ranger came with the factory running boards. They feel a bit awkward to use because I'm 6'2" and able to fully step into my truck unassisted. My wife on the other hand is 5'1" and uses them to get every single time. I also think they look nice.
The Ford Maverick page on Reddit has tons of info about extended warranties through volume Ford dealers. Granger Ford is the one most commonly mentioned but there's also Flood Ford and Ziegler Ford who sometimes have equally competitive rates against Granger. The dealer tried to offer me an...
So are you ever going to actually release a set of floor mats for the 6G Ranger? You keep advertising floor mats but the only product for the Ranger on both your site and Amazon are TPE bedliners.
The back seat mat from the Husky set is excellent. My driver side mat has a manufacturing defect which I think is making it slide. On the Ranger there's those two clevis pins that stick up from the floor. The mat is supposed to secure to those and has a triangular snap inside the mat which snaps...
One of the first purchases I made for my Ranger was a 3-piece set of Husky Weather Beater floor mats. I almost bit the bullet and paid the price of TuxMats but I wasn't really impressed when we had them in my wife's car because I found them a PITA to clean. The Husky mats have been okay but I...
I have a 2024 XLT with equipment group 300A. I also have the rear locking differential, 4x4, and advanced towing package. No spray in bedliner however. My door label says my combined weight capacity should not exceed 1644 lbs. The other door tag rates my GVWR at 6170lb, with the front being...
