If you are not seeing water on the ground after running the A/C for a while, the drain could be blocked. On many trucks, the drain tube is on the passenger side of the firewall and can be hard to see from above. You may need to look from underneath. The skid plate can make access harder, so...

Cargo moving in the bed can be a problem. A bed mat that stays in place can help reduce movement and protect both the cargo and the truck bed. I would like to know more about the material, thickness, and how it performs with different types of loads.

I did the Lariat projector headlight swap recently. They’re not truly plug-and-play; either grab the Lariat front-end harness or be ready to repin and change BCM as-built with FORScan. If you’re buying from online auctions, make sure the LED drivers/ballasts come with the housings and ask for...

I wouldn’t expect a full reveal at NYIAS—Ford’s been doing their own standalone livestreams lately, and timing chatter pointed to an early May unveil for the US-spec truck. The global Ranger already shown is more squared-off with F-150/Maverick-style C-clamp headlights, so any Crosstrek vibe...

Good call on asking for the inspection report—if you’re at a Ford dealer, also ask for the OASIS printout since it shows warranty/TSB history. On the test drive, do a true cold start and listen for any chain rattle, make sure 4H/4L and the rear locker engage cleanly, and feel for any odd shifts...

Totally get the math—RR is awesome, but the premium is mostly for capability you may not use every day. If your core needs are commute/haul with occasional trails, an XLT/Lariat plus 33s, a mild lift, better shocks, and real skid plates will get you 80% there for 4–6k and still keep you well...

Good call if you’re planning to keep it; the big-ticket stuff adds up fast. BaseCare is strong on powertrain/driveline but it skips a lot of electronics (cameras, sensors, infotainment), so if your Ranger is optioned up, pricing out PremiumCare for comparison can be worth it. Whatever you have...

Welcome Jimmy. The 6G trucks seem better so far from what people are posting. I have seen some reports of rear axle and driveline noise still happening on some trucks, but not as much as the older Rangers. Your noise could still be tires if they are getting low on tread. A bad wheel bearing or...

I think you are making the right call. I would rather bend a tie rod than damage the rack too. You may also want to check salvage yards or Facebook groups for someone parting out a truck. A lot of people swap to aftermarket parts and may still have stock tie rods sitting around. Hope you find...

I have not seen a clear official confirmation that the 2026 Ranger Raptor has a GPF in the US market yet. Ford has been adding GPF on some newer models like the F-150 and Maverick in certain regions, but it is not consistent across all trims and engines. If you are trying to avoid it, the only...

Put the AirDesign cab spoiler on my ’24 RR a few weeks back and I’m happy with it. The CHMSL cutout lines up cleanly and the cargo light isn’t blocked at all; no extra wind noise up to highway speeds. Install was straightforward: clean with isopropyl, use the adhesion promoter, do a painter’s...

Looks good as a stopgap. If you’re going to wheel before the custom sliders, throw some UHMW/3M film along the rockers to protect the paint and re‑torque the brackets after the first couple of trips—don’t use them as a jack point. When you go custom, 1.75 x .120 DOM with a 10–15° upsweep and a...

Nice setup. I’m pulling a 17' aluminum boat that’s about 1,800–2,000 lb wet, and the Ranger does great as long as I keep ~10–12% tongue weight and the trailer level (flip the hitch as needed). I run Tow/Haul and will drop it into M to hold 7th/8th on grades so it’s not hunting, and keep the...

This sounds like a system conflict in the truck. The voice system is trying to use more than one assistant at the same time. Google and Alexa can both send commands through the infotainment system. The heater change to 80 degrees can happen if: * A voice command was misread * A shortcut...

Both colors are good. Marsh Gray is easy to keep clean. It hides marks and dust. Shelter Green stands out more. It is a color you may not see often. If price is lower on the gray one, it makes sense to go see it first. If color matters more to you, you can wait and see the green one in...

Awesome project. From the Bronco Godzilla swaps, the big Ranger-specific gotchas seem to be oil pan/front diff clearance and the steering shaft—plan on a low-profile pan and a remote filter, and test-fit manifolds early. If you keep the 10R80 to retain the Ranger t-case and mounts, make sure...

Looks killer—love how the color pops with the black accents. What tire setup are you running—still on the stock 285/70R17s or did you go 35s, and any rubbing at full lock? If you haven’t already, a bit of PPF in front of the rear wheels and some shorty mudflaps make a huge difference on these...

Totally with you — Ford keeps the 3.0 EB locked to the Raptor here for positioning and certification, which is why you get the pricey long‑travel suspension and the hit to tow rating. The lower tow is mostly the soft suspension, big tires, and hitch spec; a street‑tuned 3.0 in a Lariat/Platinum...

What you see can depend on your area. If there are more GM or Chrysler cars near you, you will see more of them on the side of the road. It does not always mean they fail more. All brands can have problems. Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Stellantis, Hyundai Motor Company, and Kia...
