Yes, a gentleman that I "know" from the RV forums was an engineer with Ford working in that specific department before retiring at the end of last year. I just traded a few messages with him last month regarding this as my lease on my '21 Tremor ends in May and I wanted to double-check that the...

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. My lease ends next month and I was supposed to have placed my order a couple months ago. I'd probably be sweating bullets right now, wondering if it was going to make it out of production or not. We even considered a '24 Bronco as we really like the look of them but...

Buy a Jeep? Yeah, because those don't have any issues. Kind of a strange statement to make on a Ford-based site.

This makes me happy to see how great the truck is (finally!) and makes me sad that because of the flat-towing issue, I can't get one until '25!

Never heard of it. I'll check it out. Might be easier than laying on my back and putting 16 screws in!!! Thanks!

12V outlet, mounted to driver's side of bed. Connector located behind left rear tire. Wire coming into it is from 12V adapter and simply drops through hole in bed. On-off switch for under-bed lights. Bucket with helmets and lights, charged and ready for next ride.

And, I just realized I posted this on the wrong forum, being that I have a 5G Ranger. I spend more time here than the old forum so I just wasn't using all my senses, obviously. I'll still post pics for those interested but my apologies for anyone who was wondering why this was here!

I'll get some today.

Not the biggest mod in the world but so crazy that a Ranger owner saw a need and created his own company to fill that for the rest of us. I had no idea how easy it was to add power to the bed with the connector that Ford had already built in right behind the LR tire. Literally less than a...

The guy that I've gotten to know through the RV forums (and the FB towing group) who worked on this directly (before retiring a few months ago) told me in a private message: " I was told it has nothing to do with the transmission but supplier interaction with ABS that is preventing recreational...

A person on one of the Ranger Facebook forums mentioned that the '24 Bronco was also affected by this and would not (initially) be flat-towable. Looking at his other posts, you could tell he was not one of those guys who just pulled things out of thin air; almost sounded like he worked for Ford...

OHHHHHHHHHH, I didn't realize you were using imperial gallons! I knew you calculate mileage differently (gallons per 100?) but didn't realize the gallons were different, as well! Carry on, son. ;)

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm not a leadfoot and with the 2.4L, I'm only getting 19 combined for the 25 months I've had it. I'm not dissatisfied with that but I'd hate to see someone thinking they were going to get much better than that.

I've had my Tremor Ranger for two years and keep meticulous records. I drive 74 on the highways and don't gun it in town. My average for those two years is 19 and on the highway, if I'm out of the city and can just put the cruise on, it will do about 22. Not sure how much of a bump you're...

I'm on the other end: I need it to be flat-towable which it will NOT be for 24. Not sure I can afford it anyway, tbh, but a guy can dream!

In addition to the suspension, realize the Raptor itself weighs substantially more than just the base 4x4 Ranger. Towing capacity is lost on both ends: the GCWR is lower because of the suspension and the truck weighs more because of the extra components.

Went to my dealer today and after a bit of searching, we were able to find this page. No ifs, ands, or buts. 24 will not be a toad.

I hope you are correct. Not optimistic, but hopeful.

And, that was the expectation. Not sure what the disconnect was regarding the ABS system but it must've been considerable for them to simply scrap it for the model year. Quite disappointing for me, personally. My lease ends next May and the plan was to simply step into a 24. Looks like I'll...

Sounds a bit snarky, don't ya' think? They were in the final stages of testing when he retired. He had not heard that they ran into these complications after he left, so he had no reason to believe otherwise, especially given that it's basically the same vehicle as a Bronco, just with a bed...
