Bolting the J-Brace itself in place is the easy part. After the commotion of peeling enough of the wheel well liner back to gain access and cutting out the metal on the corner of the box sheet metal to allow the steel backing plate to slide up the vertical channel of the box structure, the...

I started installing the J-Braces on the passenger side and have gotten to the point where I can see where they bolt on. I can say that this is no job that can be done easily, it will make you cuss. The instructions call for drilling out the two pop rivets but as you can see in the pictures I...

The J-Braces to stiffen the front corners of the box are some pretty substantial pieces of iron, am guessing they weigh 3 to 4 lbs each. After reading the instructions it looks like this is not going to be an easy project. Installing the J-Braces themselves shouldn't be hard but removing the...

Interesting that there is one 2024 Ford Ranger on the 'Fuelly' website that tracks fuel economy of the participants and that one member was showing an average of 25.7 mpg over the last 2501 miles. Now this fellow is from Australia so don't know if the U.S. versions of the 2024 Rangers are going...

You can search YouTube for J Brace to find video of the J Brace installation but here are 3 photos showing the problem area, the brace itself, and the brace after installation. It appears to me that the structure without the brace might be ok but the brace is a very substantial piece of metal...

I am sticking with my decision to get a Ranger but for those considering a Toyota Tacoma you might try pricing one with a Power Seat. A Power Seat is not available on their SR and SR5 models and to get a Power Seat in the next higher model involves opting for a $4640 package which includes the...

Have been interested to hear what kind of gas mileage to expect from the 2024 Ranger with the 2.3 engine and just noticed that one fellow just started posting his gas mileage based on actual fillups for his new 2024 Ranger. He has driven 915 miles so far with an average of 21.2 MPG with about...

As it sounds like Ford is giving priority to Retail Orders before Stock Orders it doesn't look good for my dealer to be getting any of the Rangers he has on Stock Order for his lot. I see posts talking about the dealers converting Stock Orders to Retail Orders (that assumes the dealer has a...

All indications are that there will not be as Flow Through Console yet on the 2024 Order Guide I am looking at it clearly states that the Flow Through Console comes with all trims as standard

The fact that 166 or whatever number it was of the 2024's that did come off the assembly line at the Michigan Assembly Plant before the strike tells me that production of the 2023's had ended and that 2024's were actually being made (and some dealers had them). The question now is whether or...

Has anyone changed oil yet on the new generation Ranger with the 2.3 engine? Am wondering if the dimension changes to the Gen 6 Ranger have made the oil filter access easier or harder? I know what it's like having to access the filter on the previous generation through the left front wheel...
