I have the Ronin on the 2.7 in the F150 and for me I like it because it allows draining into a 2 1/2 gallon jug without spilling a drop and then I take the used oil to recycling. As removal of the oil filter on the 2.3 Ranger is such a pain I take it to the dealership for oil changes.

My 2025 Ranger 2.3 had been running well until Saturday when cruising along the highway at 70 mph when all of a sudden the Ranger started jerking, then would run normally, then continued a pattern of jerking, running normal, and jerking again. Then I noticed the Check Engine Light on steady and...

Am guessing that I have changed my own oil about 90% of the time over decades (I'm 82 years old) but changing oil on the 2024 & 2025 2.3 Rangers has been the most difficult job of any of the vehicles that I have owned, so difficult that I have given up and now have the oil changes done at the...

For myself I see no need to replace the engine air filter on the Ranger, it comes with a very efficient cleaning element that I know is going to protect the engine and it's easy to replace. Having run tractors and combines on the farm that use paper element filters I am very confident that they...

After having this cold weather problem in a Subaru Outback solved by cleaning the window channel I thought the solution for the Ranger would be the same but it doesn't seem to be. I think as manufactures try to cut the wind noise on new vehicles that they have made the fit between the window...

I had a little over 29,000 miles on the 2024 that I traded for the 2025 which now has 10,650 miles and have been very satisfied with the Rangers. Both had the 2.3 engines and while I have not kept track of the gas mileage exactly, the 2025 seems to be getting a mile or almost 2 mpg better...

I installed these Tyger Auto LanderX side steps which fit fairly tight against the body which I think protects some from rocks hitting the body. I still hear the rocks hitting but think they are hitting the side steps instead of the Ranger body. I sprayed bedliner material on the side steps so...

Yes, my drivers window had struggled to move up but after previous experience with a Subaru I found that it was a matter of being dirty. The solution for me was to use air pressure to blow out the channel as much as I could reach. As I live on a farm, drive lots of dirt roads, the window...

It freaked me out when I saw the oil pressure fluctuating and showing low oil pressure at times on my 2025 2.3 but then saw that these engines have variable flow oil pumps. The variable flow is designed to reduce the power needed to run the oil pump at times when the higher oil pressure is not...

Am not used to seeing engine oil pressure this low but guess that’s what the variable flow system on the 2025 2.3 engine is supposed to do. Most of the time this is the reading that I am seeing but it’s higher on engine startup, when accelerating, or as I experienced yesterday driving against a...

Just my opinion but no way would I attempt to tow a 27' camper trailer with the Ranger. The 2.7 engine no doubt would have the power to do it but with the Ranger weighting roughly 4500 lbs, there just isn't enough margin there to safely tow that camper. Again that's just my opinion. I have had 5...

It's a 'Spat' and supposed to aid in aerodymanics of the truck.

I had one for the almost 29,000 miles on a 2024 Ranger and it was a good roll cover. I left it on the 2024 when I traded it for the 2025 but shouldn't have.

I like the armrest cover as the padding raises the level of the armrest and it's much more comfortable with the padding.

I have a dilemma on taking my new Ranger to the dealership for the first oil change but think I will do it. The dealership has good people working in the service dept but I have liked to do my own oil changes as then use full synthetic Valvoline oil but access to the oil filter on the 2.3...

Thanks as have been curious about the gas mileage of the 2.7 engine. I had a 2.7 in an F150 4x4 and it always got great gas mileage, rarely under 20 mpg and often 24 mpg on highway trips. I recently traded a 2024 Ranger 2.3 4x4 for a 2025 Ranger 2.3 4x4 and while I was disappointed with the gas...

That is a very helpful post. Thank you for the post and pictures. Appears to be much more room on the drivers side of the engine bay than the 2024.

I myself wouldn't think of towing a trailer of that size and weight. Maybe you could ask the RV dealer to let you hook it up and try towing. That would be with an empty trailer but should give you an idea of how things will go. I have owned 5 different travel trailers all smaller than the one...

I agonized between the Bronco and Ranger but after talking to people that had the Bronco I realized that for my needs the Ranger was a better choice. Everybody I talked to loved their Broncos though which says a lot for the Bronco. It comes down to what's best for you. For me, I have some mud &...

The 'Employee Pricing' saved me $3571 off MSRP on a 2025 FX4 with 2.3 engine and the dealer doesn't charge any additional fees so am happy with that. I normally trade every 2 or 3 years so was questioning myself for trading the 2024 with only 29,000 miles but we all know that prices are going to...
