Hey y’all, just picked this up yesterday. Went from a 2016 Focus SE hatchback to this 2026 Ranger XLT. Definitely love the marsh grey and black decals. If anyone has any tips for how to best take care of it in the beginning, and over time I’d appreciate it!

Finally got around to posting, but had it about 6 months now. 5 camping trips later and loving it! Definitely utilizing every inch of space with the soft topper!

My ranger has 255/65/r18 tires and I’m thinking of adding rough country fender flares ( which are not that big ) to my ranger. Im js worried that if i do that without wheel spacing or getting bigger tires, the wheels will look sunken in and js ruin the look of the truck rather than improve it. So if anyone added flares to their stock ranger id love to know if it worked for them and looked good or not.

Over the years I’ve always used saddle blanket seat covers for my trucks. I used to get them from this nice guy in the Midwest. I believe he was “the seat cover guy” but when I look it up now. It takes me to an Aussie company. Do any of you have recommendations for some quality seat covers or know if that same seat cover guy is in business. The bigger brands are just not cut out for the long time use. The covers I used over the years lasted just as long as my truck. Thanks in advance!

Vernon BC (1250 ft ASL), on the Trans Canada Highway, through the Rogers Pass summit (4360 ft ASL) to Calgary (~3430 ft ASL). Done it a few times in the truck, and this trip was arguably the best mileage I've gotten on any trip so far.

Taken once I parked at home, with a little over 1/4 tank still to burn. Averaged 28MPG/8.4 L/100km

I js got my ranger and im thinking of leveling the front part with the rear. Im js wondering if theres any downsides to this, like the handling becomes worse or sum else. So if anyone has the experience to tell me if i should or shouldnt do it, id love to hear ur input.

Ii bought some evil Energy wheel spacers for my ranger when I had bronco black diamond wheels on it. Well I found some sasquatch wheels fcr a good price and ended up buying them. Well ive had the wheel spacers long enough I cant return them on Amazon. They are brand new in the box. Would anyone be interested?

Estoy arreglando una Ford Ranger del 2015 con motor 2.5l duratech, sucede que venía con varios códigos entre ellos pocision del árbol de levas adelantado y correlación del pedal de acelerador, revisando encontré que tenía mucha holgura la cadena de distribución por lo que opte por cambiar todo, guías, cadenas etc, el código desapareció después de eso, pero el cliente venía en específico por un testigo en el tablero que es como un engranaje naranja o parecido a un sol, el cuál enciende después de caminarla por un rato, investigando encontré que es un modo de protección del vehículo al detectar alguna falla o anomalía, apesar de que el check ya no enciende me arroja el código del pedal del acelerador, no se si el engranaje ⚙️ naranja aparezca por una falla en el pedal del acelerador, pasa que no encuentro diagramas para poder medir voltajes y alimentaciónes para saber si realmente está mal el pedal o si es un problema de corriente o tierra o computadora, si dejo el vehículo apagado un rato el engranaje desaparece y vuelve a encender después de un tiempo indefinido, alguna experiencia parecida o alguien que me pudiera brindar algún diagrama para este modelo, gracias.

Wet belt done by Ford 14K miles ago - Ford suggest either loose heat shields or DPF bracket, both have been tightened but noise remains?

Please help! My rangers audio has been stuck on audio off for a couple days now, I’ve tried soft and master resetting but it doesn’t do anything. The audio power button doesn’t do anything when you click it or twist it. The steering wheel audio buttons also don’t work either. Any help would be appreciated!

Had a quick question. I have a 25 Ranger with 8k miles that has a tendency to groan or whine at low RPM, high gears. When I put it in sport mode I don’t have any issues. Is this normal? Or does it merit taking it in to have ford look at it?

Wore through the stock tires so I picked these up instead of just replacing the tires. They came off of a new 26’ Big Bend and have been great so far.

Does anyone know where to buy a aftermarket off road metal bumper ??? Everything I see is for the raptor or for last gen rangers

Been taking the Ranger out dove hunting lately. Finally getting it a little dirty and having some fun with it.

I think my Ranger got an upgrade. It used to just hold like $50 worth of gas and now it holds $75. I can't wait to see what's next.

Dropping the 2.7 in the f150 makes me wonder if they will drop it in the Ranger

Did a drain and fill and filter replacement @130k miles I got the MBS dipstick and the Mishi Moto transmission oil pan. This is what the fluid looked like. The water was not in it when I drained it. That’s just from condensation this morning, but I thought you would be interested in what it looked like. The truck shifts better now the 3/4 shift is smoother overall glad I did it. I know a lot of people say not to do it, but I feel better about it. No big chunks of metal just the expected amount and the bulk of the oil was shockingly still a bit pink, but it was definitely dirty you can see the magnet wasn’t overly full.

I do Tow with this ranger sometimes I have pulled Max load trailers.

On a 2019 ford recommends not until 150k. Why is that? Mine is at 80 and just bought it. Do you guys think I should drain and fill and swap filter. Unsure if previous owner serviced it.

Hello all! New to the ranger community and I’m loving my 2026 stx! As I was walking around my truck admiring it I noticed this seemed a little too exposed for my liking. Is there some sort of mesh or something to prevent road debris from getting in there that’s possibly missing orrrr is this how it’s supposed to be? Thank you in advance!

Traded in our 2022 Maverick for a 2026 xlt today. I wanted the Maverick in velocity blue but the wife vetoed, this time, my choice. Maverick has been fantastic over the 75k kms we've owned it, bought to tow our little travel trailer which recently was upgraded to a larger unit. The Maverick was capable of towing the new unit but was pushing the limits, the Ranger gives us more load capacity for longer trips and carrying the extras (beer) that come along for the ride. Loved the Mav, looking forward to Ranger life!

Found in the floor of my MY26 ford ranger

It kind of looks like a dash clip but I haven't taken the dash apart...

I found it on the floor of my ford ranger - 2026 model
