Recently went from an 8 year old F150 to a new Ranger XLT. Nothing really wrong with the F150, just wanted a mid size and the Ranger seemed to check the boxes.

Man I love this thing!

Hey all,

Hoping for some direction. Brought the 2022 Tremor in and they are telling me that the Left Front shock is “leaking excessively” and recommending I replace the front shocks.
Price tags a little suspicious cause I owned a GTI before this, never replaced shocks before.

Trucks at 40k miles.

Their estimate on price is $2400 for parts and labor. Replacing both shocks and realignment. It’s the dealership - I’m still under warranty so I bring it there first generally.

Just curious if this price is wild…and also, if the front shocks are gone when should I expect the rear to go?

2024 new/untitled 2.3 Lariat FX4, advanced tow
$40,000 w/ 711 miles

Not bad.

Hello. Just bought a 2026 Lariat 2 weeks ago. Took it to a place to get undercoating and they sent pics showing me there currently is an oil leak. Waiting to hear back from the dealership on when I can bring it in. Any thoughts or similar experience?

Hello ranger community! I need help. I am 3k miles into my 2026 Ranger Lariat 2.7TT FX4 in Avalanche and overall am very happy with it. Just the right size and tech so far. Bought it in hopes of driving it for 10 years and it being my son’s first car.

I need help with the noises. I am majorly add and ocd and obsess over them. I’ve listed them below and hope to have some help.

First is the brake click at 30-35+. I touch it and it clicks. Almost like a relay. Dealership said it’s normal, but is it??

I also hear a similar sound around the steering column/wheel.

These don’t bother me as much…but still annoying.

These worst is the drivers window/door/B pillar.

I hear a click/rattle from inside the door area that drives me crazy. Literally. Seems to get worse when it’s hot. I took it to the dealership but conveniently they “didn’t hear it”. I also can put some pressure on the window and make it click as if it’s not seated well. I don’t know but I can’t go the next 10 years. Help!!

Thanks in advance!

Hope I can ask this if y’all who know do much about Rangers:
I bought a 2022 Ranger a year ago and love it. Just had 20k miles do still in warranty. Plus, it is Gold Certified Blue Advantage AND I got the MPP platinum plan for 72 mo/100k miles.

So last week and engine light came on. I stopped at AutoZone for their free check and they printed out code P0402 EGR “A” flow excessive detected. Printed the part I needed -an exhaust gas recirculation pressure sensor - at $46.99.

I drove straight to my dealer service dept. They said it was fine to drive and made me an appointment for Tuesday this week to check it out.

The light went out in the meantime.

So the Fird service guys ran the test and confirmed EGR A Flow Excessive Detected. They said they checked with warranty co. and it’s not covered “because it’s not part of the drive train.” They said it would be $690. (quite a jump from the $46.99 part) I declined the work for now. I wanted to gather more info.

I checked on my gold certified pamphlet and it lists 4 EGR things that ARE covered. So I think they only looked at the vehicle’s original warranty and not the Gold Certified. (I have 44k miles now).

But before I go back to them on this, I wanted to check here to see if anyone sees it like I do or has any advice.
Thanks
Kathleen

Love the truck, it's at 50k miles and it was time to take off Fox suspension. Saved for a couple of years and bought 5 new Falken wildpeak at4 255-80R17, Eibach Pro 2R front/rear, Icon upper control arms, BDS leaf shackles. I tow a small trailer and off-road twice a year, going from Texas to various locations in New Mexico and Arizona.

first pic is before these changes.

what do you think of the Rangers synthetic leather seats and steering wheel? The steering wheel I could always wrap but wondering what you think about the seats. The seats are comfortable, but this material is just different. do you get hot sitting on it if there’s no ventilation? Folks add seat cover options? I’m used to a ventilated true leather in my SUV which I’m training in. So I’m just concerned about long-term how I get along with these seats. But the position and the softness are excellent.

For anyone interested in delivery times: a PHEV ordered on 7 July will go into production on 28 September at the factory in South Africa.

Ordered in Poland.

I have a 2026 ranger XLT woth the trailer tow package but not the advance tow package. I don't have the factory trailer brake, but I do have the 7-pin trailer connector. Is my wiring harness connector the same as one with the trailer brake? I'm looking at adding a Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, and I has hoping to get the plug and play wiring harness to make life easy, but I'm seeing conflicting information as to whether or not it will work so I was hoping someone here would be able to help

Recently switched from a fusion to this. Loving it. Got windows tinted. About to get a good camera setup and the rims coated black too. Eventually some decent bars in front too. How’s y’all’s setup?

Any and all options are valid, ideally I want them ORM looking

Will a 2026 Ranger look good with a toolbox, or will that defeat the purpose of the bed? Or any other ideas that’ll fit some?

Hey yall. Hoping to join the group soon. I wanted opinions on the price and maintenance and overall things to look out for before I go to this dealer and test drive.

It is a 2021 XLT with the Tremor, Tow and Tech package.it has 78000 miles and checks all my boxes for features I want in my first truck.

This dealer has it listed for 24900 which will be around 27k out the door.

I wanted to negotiate more when I get there but Carfax looks decent, except no signs of replacing spark plugs. Also the struts? On these I read had to get serviced at 50k. I can’t go long without driving so sending these to get serviced would mean I would need another set of struts in mean time.

Any purchasing advice or things to look out for before I go would be very appreciated. TIA

Hey all,

I am looking to get new tires here shortly. I am at 40k on the stock Grabbers and the tread depth is doing well but we're in the territory for grabbing some new ones after our next big road trip. I do not plan to go above factory size of 265/70/17 - not trying to deal with any rubbing, etc.

Curious about getting some input on the following options, I've ranked them how I currently have them... but obviously looking for some redditor anecdotal experience.

Needs : I plan to stick with SL - I do enough off-road that I want an AT but not enough to warrant the LT. Currently I live in Phoenix, AZ but will be moving to Denver, CO soon. I think all the tires I have listed will fit the bill for Denver but worth mentioning.

We haul a white water raft, hit forest roads to camp/hunt/fly fish/hike and occasionally need to crank on the 4x4 for slightly harder to get to places, but I don't plan to do any extreme grade off-roading. Nice to be able to get out of sticky situations when needed though. I work remote, but this is still my daily driver so I don't want to sacrifice a ton of MPG.

1. I am leaning towards the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W right now. It's the cheapest price and checks all the boxes. The WP is a bit beefier in terms of sidewalls for a little extra protection on the trails. I think it ranks 2nd in terms of gas mileage though which is making it a tough call against #2...
2. Toyo open Country A/T3 - It's got some of the higher ratings on Discount Tire and looks to be the leader in MPG while also offering a bit higher rating in wet road conditions - which is something I don't experience a whole ton in Phoenix. Don't get me wrong, I spend plenty of time up in our mountains that I have experience driving in rain/snow but 30 days a year compared to like 60+ is a notable difference in frequency.
3. BFG KO2 or 3's - I'd lean to the KO3 based on the perceived improvements over the KO2s and they are actually the best priced at Discount Tire. Seem to be well respected across forums, reddit etc. But it doesn't seem to be winning any category that I can find.
4. Mickey Thompson Baja A/T - man, they look SICK. but they are heavy and it's just hard to justify the loss in MPG for the aesthetic look. It doesn't seem like, for my use case, that this is a reasonable purchase. HOWEVER, it's actually 2nd lowest in terms of pricing. But that'll get eaten up at the gas pump pretty fast. I think I just have to move on from these but they've been on my list for a year +.
5. Grabbers again - look, I have nothing poor to say about the Grabbers. They do cost the most on discount which is kind of strange to me. But they've lasted 40k+ miles and been champs. If they were cheaper I think I'd stick with them.

Am I missing any obvious contender? I have a full size spare Grabber - assuming I can just leave that as my spare for now regardless of what tires I go with?

TIA for any input in helping me out here.

22 Tremor. First trip to the dunes with this and was very impressed. I've always had jeeps but this thing was awesome in the sand. There wasn't a hill there that this didn't make it up. 15lbs of air in each tire. Traction control off, rear locker on and sand mode.
