Same here. I have a 17' Casita TT and tried numerous times to get it clalibrated. Tried during day, triple checked the stickers, tongue is level, deleted/reinstalled, etc. Just gave up. I've been towing it for 21 years with other vehicles just fine though so I really don't need this high tech...

AAA performed a pretty good simulated 4,000 mile test using Tier 1 and non Tier gasolines. The results: "Top Tier fuels left engines much cleaner. On average, non-Top Tier fuels left 660 milligrams of deposits on each intake, compared to an average of just 34 milligrams for Top Tier fuels...

Robert, Welcome to both the Ranger and Casita family. I have a '24 Ranger Lariat with the 2.3 and a 2005 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe which we picked up at the Casita factory. We've towed it with three different vehicles: a 2001 F150 with the 4.6 V8, a VW Touareg with a 3.6 V6 and the Ranger. The...

Bobbert, Can you supply an Amazon link or state which brand you bought? There are many available. Thanks

Dino,I have yet to bring my '24 Lariat into the dealer for servicing for the same reasons. I have completed two oil changes making sure the oil met Ford's spec and used a Motorcraft filter. I documented it in my FordApp and kept receipts. On previous new cars of mine I did bring them in because...

I am absolutely scratching my head over this one. On a pretrip engine check over, I was flabbergasted to discover my coolant reservoir cap was missing. I am at 9,500 miles with two oil changes (I performed). I am 99% sure I never touched the cap. I don't even have Ford coolant (VW only)and...

You'll be impressed in how well it does pulling a Casita. In some areas of Texas we hit 40mph headwinds and sidewinds. While I certainly don't like towing in that sort of weather, the truck was unfazed except to downshift to 8th gear (Tow mode normally locks out 10th, so usually cruise in 9th)...

Boy, you have no excuse for not going. Corpus Christi is a lot closer to Big Bend than central Virginia:D.We visited Terlingua which certainly had a long mining history.

Just finished a 4500 mile road trip to Texas towing our 17' (3000# wet) Casita trailer. Pic is outside of Big Bend National Park, Texas. Truck doesn't look the greatest wearing about 3000 miles of road grime. The Ranger pulled like a champ. Computer MPG of 19.1., hand calculated 18.5. That beats...

No, I haven't while pulling our small (3000#) travel trailer. Though that was just a short 80 mile trip with small rolling hills to test things out before our Virginia to Texas trip coming up. Interesting to hear other replies so I will be informed if I encounter this on our Texas trip.

Yea, I'm hoping someone else has tried it successfully and explained why it was. The oil pan is oddly shaped with a lower half at the back side where the drain plug is. I think the end of the tube is hitting the "upper" half and won't/can't make the corner to continue to the bottom part if that...

Thought I'd try the vacuum extraction method on my first oil change in my Lariat 4X2 2.3lt. I use this with great success with my VW Tiguan. It sucks out all but 2 oz. of oil! Unfortunately with the 2.3 lt engine at least, something prevents the tube (I tried two different sizes) from reaching...

I too installed the Aeroskin II with the hump on my '24 Lariat. While it's only been on there for a little over a month, I've had one, yes one bug splatter on my windshield and that was almost at the roof line. Is this due to the "hump" changing the aerodynamics so bugs flie (pun intended) over...

Yes, LEDs are fine with the truck. I too had a tow vehicle that indicated a trailer lamp was out if it was an LED (not enough current draw) therefore I never changed my trailer lights to better, brighter LEDs. I will now.

Thanks guys. I took the trailer down the street to set the brake gain and indeed one must manually put it in Tow mode (on rotary dial on 4X2). My previous tow vehicle (2013 VW Touareg) would automatically put it in Tow mode when trailer connected. After reading the OM again, I don't think the...

Newbie here. Picked up my Lariat 4X2 last month. I hooked up our camping trailer (17' Casita) today for our first camping trip to a local State Park. Question that I cannot find the answer to in the OM: does the driving mode change automatically to Tow when the trailer electrical is plugged in...

I just picked up my Ford Accessories REV Hard Folding Bed Cover which I'll install tomorrow. I used Groupon's 20% discount (SHOP#24) for a $272 discount. This is better than Ford's $1,000 limited 25 % discount which would give you a max of $250.

The shifter in my '24 Lariat 4X2 is the mechanical one. I think the electronic shifter was found in the 4WD versions, at least for the '24 model year.

I'll have to remember this. The Walmart derived FL-910 is much cheaper than a Kohler for my Husqvarna mower.
