At home again, the dash computer with lots or highway miles says mileage is about 25. That sure it better than over the winter months!

floor hatches repaired?

We got a complaint of these hatches in rear floor of our SuperCab. The 65lb dogs stand on the hatch opening lever and they are pushed inside. Now all the dirt falls into them and there is a hole for them to step into. I filled the lever hole with a flat piece of ABS today. The 1st one is the cover, less its lever. Poor engineering via Ford.

I do not think I woulnd call it "poor engineering", I think I would call it "Cannot cover all the bases for each and every consumer"

So ford couldn't imagine that someone would have dogs behind the seat??

On your theory, does ALL manufacturers not imagine that any car owner with leather seats or plastic door cards not imagine that dogs would not have sharp nails and scratch the heII out of afore mentioned items????

For me the "jury is still out". I like ride and the comfort and the seating position for me is excellent. As I have said on some of my earlier posts I am still not a huge fan of the 2.3 Ecoboost engine. The engine, along with the ten speed transmission, is not as good as the 3.6 and eight speed in the GM's version of the mid size pickup in my opinion. I drive pretty conservatively and I am getting about one mpg less with the ecoboost vs the 3.6 in my Canyon.

I've complained about all of the electronic controls that have replaced switches and dials but I am slowly adapting. I have started to use Ford's Adaptive Cruise Control feature more and more and I think I like it. It does eliminate braking and then resetting the cruise control when encountering slower traffic on the freeway. I like the warning system that tells me of an approaching obstruction in the front or rear of the truck. I find annoying the golf cart starting system so that is turned off each time unless I forget it.

So overall its a pretty good truck, just a little disappointing for me. Now, if Ford ever tosses in the 2.7 Ecoboost count me in. It would still have the "quirky and jerky" ten speed but I would live with that if that engine was offered.

TC, How are you doing with that noisy truck these days?? Any new Ranger owners here? If you are considering one, here is a good place to ask sowers questions.

I think these Rangers look better on the road than they do in pictures. I still do not see a lot of them out there.
