I also own a '24 RR with KO3s, now with 25K miles. No balance issues after three rotations. Very smooth. I am beginning to get just a little tire noise however. Hope it doesn't get worse. A couple of things to think about:
- At one time I owned a 2000 Explorer V8. Had a vibration issue I...
Excellent OP evaluation and write up. I also have a RR, a '24 delivered in April of '24, and live in the wilds of WY, 6 miles of summer gravel and winter snow packed road to the paved highway. I also do some light off roading not unlike OPs. The KO3s have proven themselves to be the right...
Because fines are so high for not meeting CAFE standards, manufacturers spend a great deal of time with their vehicles in the wind tunnel trying to make vehicles as aero as possible. My experience, as well as several near by friends with other makes, seem to bear out that around 65MPH seems to...
I say that every time I get in my '24 RR it's a surprise because I never know what is going to happen electronically or be displayed on my large screen.
Unfortunately Ford will not allow a reload of the software unless there is an update. My original electronic issues were were to the point of...
I am 6'2" 220. The Ranger cab is smaller than its larger brothers and the lower seat cushion is shorter resulting in less under leg support. I suffer from the same issue as OP.
- On previous trucks I raised the front of the seat about 1/2-3/4" using a longer bolt and washers but have not...
I no longer have my 2.3L '19 Ranger, having upgraded to a '24 RR. About 10% of the 80,000 miles of the '19 was towing typically around 5,500# from WY to Southern Utah. Grades are long (up to 20 miles) and steep with elevations to 8,000'. I live at 7,500'. Use caution, take your time and your...
I installed a set of Rough Country e-boards. A large draw was the fact they have 4 motors vice two. Living in an area with ice, snow and mud, 4 motors seemed like a smart move. In the one year they have been on, they have worked perfectly. I also like the magnets vice piggy backing on to the...
The question is how does 4A operate. I've tested the truck in both 4A and 4H on ice and 4A seems to be ineffective until the rear wheels slip then engagement is a little abrupt and noticeable, as though there is no power sent to the front wheels until rear slippage. This is particularly...
OP, your remarks are right on. After installing electric running boards (I'm older and don't like the step up) your comments about dirt along the truck's side is nothing compared to my own experience, understandably. Installed plastic film and ceramic coating which has helped a lot with...
I went last July. Hot and dusty doesn't begin to describe the conditions. At times you could not see the truck 30' in front. But ... it was lots of fun. The class is more about teaching you about how and when to use the various modes than it is about the actual driving. For obvious reasons...
Please allow personal experience. In 2013 I purchased a new Focus ST. This was given to my son in 2018 and now is at 110K miles. It has only received routine service since new. There are many posters on numerous forums that talk about carbon build up with GDI engines. Believing them makes...
Much of what is being suggested could be done as a "sub-model" to existing models. For example, an Atlas version of the Explorer, or a suspension option package for the FX4 Ranger. Farley races himself and is a "car guy," so moving the company in a racing direction is understandable and one I...
The standard Ranger bed steps do not fit the RR mainly due to the exhaust piping. Pretty sure they would fit with an exhaust or depth modification. The steps do not need to be as "deep" as they are. BUT ... there are SIX PIECES for the step and the collective cost is high. Add that cost to...
There has been a measurable increase in fatal vehicle accidents in the last few years. An argument can be made there is a significant distraction element to many of those accidents because of on-screen "buttons."
There is a lot of space available on Ford's large screens so if they want to use...
@John. I previously owned a '19 Ranger and fitted letters on the tailgate. I ordered a set of letters on ebay for my '24 RR - "fits 19-24 Ranger, including Raptor." There are numerous ads with the same statement. The letters for the '19 also came with a spare, in case installation was...
Looking for black, flat, non-raised letters for tailgate. Does anyone have a source (link).?
Lots available for standard Ranger, but Ranger Raptor letters are slightly smaller and standard letters won't fit.
Found a source for raised letters, but desire non-raised.
How does 4A work?
Originally when Ford produced a transfer case with 4A 10 years or so ago, it was said 35% of the torque is sent to the front axle and as the rear wheels slipped torque to the front was progressively increased.
I recently "tested" the system on my Raptor on a section of ice...
