Had this truck about a month now. Thought I would mention a few things. Gas mileage is great. 75 mile round trip to work. Mileage is consistantly 24.5 to 25. The dashboard readout is 26. 5. I know the AFE Bias can be adjusted but not really needed.
I had all windows tinted as dark as possible for Texas Law. The A/C is the coldest unit I have ever owned. If my home unit only worked this good. Only complaint is the Temp and Fan + & - buttons are not real easy to see at times and the Tactile feel is weak.
I installed the Husky Exact Contour mats in the front. Fit is very good. Seat is comfortable for me. I like the electric adjustments and especially the lumbar. Interior lighting is pretty good, I would like to add some type of white led's for the footwell area.
Sync 3 performs well. I've had this same system in 2 other Fords. I like it. Its easy to operate. The Navigation package is really cool.
Especially the live traffic updates. I need to get a trailer hitch installed. The Ford hitch is less than $300.
I saved the worst part for last.
Ride Quality. It rides smooth going down a smooth highway. City streets with small bump, potholes. speed bumps, it will toss you around. Buckle up. I've never had a car or truck handle like this. Almost like there is no suspension, Tires pressures have been reduced a bit as well. Hopefully its just new & stiff. Time will tell all. Maybe the shocks are inferior. I dont see where Bilstein offers anything for the Ranger.
Thats about it. I do like The Ranger and have no regrets. I'll get used to the ride stiffness, hopefully it will calm down.
