2019 ford ranger review....

[ArlyA]

I'll get a changer on it tonight. It is a agm type battery.

Getting this warning when we get in da truck.. Time for a new battery? Anyone else see this?View attachment 832035

Is your ignition on?
My wife's Kia will display the same message when the motor is turned off but the warning disappears when a door is opened. I just turned off the Ranger and the homepage just stays on when the motor is turned off before opening the door, the warning screen as you have did not come on, but I only waited for 6 minutes and it is a just year old battery.

Towing culverts today.

As seen late today. Snow wheels are on!

 

[ArlyA]

Got a dusting of snow here.

We still got basically nuthin' down here (Twin Cities area). Had an inch a couple times, but melted in between. Of course this has the weather guy in the paper doing the "See? Global Warming!!!" routine, but he fails to mention last year's record breaking snow totals for some reason....

At work today.

ArlyA, I joined Ranger5g forum when I bought my 2019 Ranger Lariat. Great source for any questions/issues you may have.
42k miles and absolutely 0 issues. I didn't read 95 pages here, hope it's treating you well.
My thought, tons of towing power, very fast if you want it to be, I don't, but nice to have. Parking a dream over full sized trucks. Got in a Chevy Silverado, and damn it's huge.

We are something over 50k miles now and still like it and would get another.

I just went over 70,000 on my 2019 and wouldn't hesitate to get another. In fact, have been checking out the 2024 models and might just have to make a move. I am waiting to see if the 2.7 Ecoboost engine becomes available as is the rumor.

55,000 on my 2019 Ranger. I have had new tires and battery. Right now the dual air conditioning is not working. The air does not start to get cold on the passenger side until it is set below 62˚. I will have to take it in before Summer. Not a priority repair in January.

As far as buying another Ranger I might look into the Maverick since my "trucking" needs have changed and I sold my last trailer. If the Maverick feels crowded in the cab then another Ranger would be in my future, great midsized pick-up.

If I had your kind of money, I would burn mine.

We have the original battery so oil & filter changes plus tires is all we've replaced. The brakes are coming up on there end. I'm not a maverick fan.

I do think the maverick would be too small for your use with your trailers.

I'm still not a maverick fan and wasn't considering one.

I think the Maverick would be a good grocery getter.

My nephew has a 2022 Ranger quad cab 4x4 with the 4cyl. This fall I watched him tow a 40HP 3 series John Deere and several attachments on a 25' steel trailer. Had to have been well north of $10K pounds and he said his Ranger didn't even know it was back there....

They are ugly, But they do fill a role for people who might get groceries 90%, but then pick up some potted shrubs/mulch for weekend landscaping, or whatever.

He lives in the different risk zone than I care to.

Uhhh,,, He'd know that was there when accelerating. I assume it has trailer brakes?
