2019 ford ranger review....

[ArlyA]

They make quality products.

These box-side racks are really great and seen here is the three tools we love to have along. I'd get another built right for our next truck.

When the temp drops 60 ˚ in Texas the air pressure in the tires also drops - not a leaking tire on the Ranger but sure got my attention and monitored it for miles. It did not come on till I was 40 miles from home because it was in a warm garage. I did not realize how hard it was to find a working air pump in Taylor Texas. I finally was able to add air at the Walmart tire center.

We recently rolled over 50k as well.

Why we got this cab version.

Yes ArlyA, Those "box side racks" are what I was asking about before! Where did you get them made? I think they are a "super" neat feature for a truck. Or did you just buy them? If so, where from? Thanks Greg

Putting trailers away (without snow tires!) Gosh it was soooo slick that day. Snows are going on this week.

On my 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat The dual A/C is not working on the passenger's side. Cool air will not come out of the dash vents until I turn it down below 63˚,(outside temp is 80) before I adjust the thermostat down warm air comes out the vent. The driver's side vent's are working OK. Anyone have a clue before I take it in for service?

I'd lay odds on a blend door actuator. Could be bad or disconnected or loose. Must be a reason it works at full cold, but I don't know the specifics of this model as of yet (and I hope to not have to learn them on mine...)

On some vehicles they are vacuum actuated so it could be a leaking hose.

A little more experimenting today heat comes out passenger side dash vents until it's set below 64˚.

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

I see this on my hybrid car sometimes when I park it at a point the battery is low on charge. I would suggest just giving the battery a good slow charge. Cars have so much electrical load now that if you don't drive long distances at speed, the battery doesn't get fully charged. I charge my F150 every six months or so and it takes quite a while to slow charge fully. It also usually hasn't gone into start/stop mode for the last few years, probably because the battery isn't sensed as fully charged. The truck and battery are about 7 years old. Don't panic.

What year vehicle? If the battery is over 3 years old and you drive the truck frequently, then yes, the battery could be starting to fail.
Our F350 sometimes sits in the garage for 2-3 weeks unused and I started getting the notice on my phone in the FordPass App "Remote features disabled to preserve battery" around 3 years of age eventually one of them lost a cell and had to be replaced.

However, I have also received the same notice after the truck sat for 3-4 weeks unused and the truck batteries were on a battery tender and it indicated fully charged.

Its a 19 and has 50K miles on it. Seems it might be a agm in it.

That is one of the criteria that will prevent stop/start mode from working so yeah, you probably have a battery failure looming.

Hmmm, Our F350 is a 2019 as well, purchased in June and batteries had to be replaced 5/2023, right at 4 years.

True, but it seems to be looming very slowly. It's been going on for about three years now.
