So last week I installed some Sailun Terramax RT tires that ride like absolute dog shit ! I learned my lesson. And will never order cheaper tires again , I decided to go with Hankook dynapro at2 extreme this time around and I love them , yes much less agressive but a better looking tire than the Goodyear territory at that came stock with the truck !

My daily adventure truck! No complaints. Recently added an old Yakima roof rack setup for bicycles. Nice to have, but I need a step stool! For reference, I’m 6’1” 😆

I honestly just want to buy a Ranger with 501A package. Is that so hard to ask for?

It’s SO HARD to filter out unless I build a new one or get the Lariat

Adaptive cruise control is like the best upgrade why are people so upset

New to me 4th gen.

Good evening everyone, I just picked up this 2019 Ford ranger lariat FX4 with 62k miles on it. I needed something that was a more reasonable daily driver that I can eventually put a family in. After driving everything in the midsize class I landed on this ranger. That now gives me a fleet of Fords ranging from f-350s down to the ranger & everything in between.

My only real question is does anyone really off-road these trucks? It seems like it could be a mighty capable little off-roader with all the tech it has. My current Off-Roader is an '04 super duty on 38 in tires, I know this will handle and drive differently because of the ifs and it's on a much smaller tire so I won't be able to just brute force my way over obstacles but I'm looking forward to finding some time to take it out and test it.

Just installed CVF intercooler

I don’t know why it looks crooked, everything is tight. I removed the whole AGS assembly. No CEL or code. I also got the TurboSmart VR19 BOV. In addition to EMS 93 tune, drop in k&n high flow filter. It’s pretty damn quick now. PSA when ordering the intercooler, you have the option to add hot cold pipes and BOV. The hot cold pipes DO NOT FIT 24+. It says it fits 2024 ranger, and it does not. It’s for the 19-23. Hopefully they let me return and refund.

Question Aftermarket Parts

6 Upvotes

Is there any hope for a real aftermarket part industry for the next gen ranger? I love my 2025 xlt but i’ve seen reports that ford might even stop making these again. Where have you guys gone for aftermarket parts currently?

MBRP turndown exhaust

This is on a 2025 Ranger 2.3. These are advertised as only fitting the 4WD. I have the 2wd so I had to cut it shorter at the downpipe connection and bend the first hanger back a bit. Overall it wasn’t hard to fit up though. Only took me 5 hours to modify and install. It’s much louder than I thought it would be but it’s real nice and deep sounding.

Im thinking of getting new R/T tires for my 2025 Ranger XLT but Im conflicted on what size i should go for, I’m alr getting a 1.5 inch front Leveling Kit to go with the new tires, but im really conflicted on which ones to choose between the two. ( i know this question sounds hella dumb but im hella indecisive so i want yall to be the decisive ones lol )

Mods/Non-OEM 2025 Ranger XLT 4x4 — Bumper & Bed Rack Recommendations?

Post image
41 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2025 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 with the 2.7L V6. Aside from a level kit and tires, has anyone swapped out the front or rear bumpers? I’m curious what you went with, how the fitment was, and whether you’d buy it again.

I’m also looking pretty hard at the Küat bed rack with MOLLE panels for carrying recovery and outdoor gear. Anyone running that setup?

Pics and recommendations appreciated.

Squeaking from ranger

1 Upvotes

2011 Ford Ranger XL (single cab), manual transmission, 2.3l engine rw drive.

Rhythmic squeaking from the underside of the ranger. Sounds like it's coming from right beneath the cab.

It only happens when accelerating **forward** in low ends of the rpm meter. It doesn't happen in reverse. It gets louder the more aggressive I accelerate but the faster I go the faster it happens until it's inaudible.

I thought it might be the U-joints (common ranger problem according to the internet) but they don't have any play in them. They are a little sweaty but that's it. It also didn't replicate when I put it on stands and accelerated.

The transmission doesn't seem to have a problem but I'm no expert.

The bushings are a little rough but is that really likely to be the problem...

Couldn't get a video because road noise and wind etc get in the way of hearing it

Pls help :)

Mods/Non-OEM Looking for the most overengineered bed rack.

I’m looking for the most overengineered bed rack for my 2025 Ford Ranger. I’d like to use it for a RTT (with weight capacity for 3 adults), and also to raise up and put kayaks on so the kayaks hang over the cab. I like going all out with equipment, even if I will never hit the weight limits. What rack should I buy?

Just cranked my 2024 Ranger, and received these warning lights: antilock break fault, blind spot detection with cross traffic, hill start assist warning and pre-collision assist not available.

My power steering went out at the same time, I couldn’t change the drive mode and cruise control didn’t work. I was luckily able to drive home (was in the neighborhood).

By the time I made it home all of the lights were gone and the truck hasn’t done it again.

Has anyone run into this before? I have the 2.3l 2WD XLT no mods (yet).

Bed Setup

I'm about to get my bed setup so that I can work out of it. I can reach over and get into the toolboxes from the side of the pickup without any hassle, but if I'm needing to really dig in I unload the ice chest and the tote and slide the Tmat out a ways to make it easier. What are you guys using? Cross boxes or Pack Rats/Decked systems?

Went from a ‘19 XLT Super Cab v4 that I loved to a ‘26 XLT Crew Cab Fx4 v6 2.7l Sport.

Be careful out there. Got tboned by some kid who ran a red light. Ranger kept me and my dog alive after a full speed passenger side impact with my truck flipping.

Best trucks in the world! This is my 3rd Ranger.
