Simple Question = Single cab available?

My Ranger is getting tired and I think of buying a new one.

The Ford Maverick is cheap but I fear that in my area (New England) they'll become rust-buckets due to the uni-body construction....

That happened to me, eventually I gave up and paid the Ford Dealer about $1100 to fix it all, runs perfectly now.

Life moves on and I'm in my 70's now, with, as some of you will also be in decades--low back issues.

I used to do my own work, everything, body, brakes, everything but transmission work. When I...

No studded winter tires in stock size, will smaller tire work?

Time to buy new studded snow tires and yes, I must have studs, and yes, I’ve run Blizzak stud-free (early soft rubber compound, so they were the best non-studded on ice). I do a good amount of...

For a while when I shifted to park, if on a hill, the truck would start slowly rolling back...chunk, chunk. Restart, reset in park, all good. Runs, shifts all gears properly.

Re: 2010 Plain Jane Ranger 2x "your front left bearings need replacing"

Re: Shift indicator broken Ranger 2wd, plain Jane

Silly me, it's a 2010. If that helps. It sounds like a "do NOT take it to a dealer" issue... $1000+ repair...eek.

Yes, it is a column shifter. I've pulled dashboards apart over the...

Shift indicator broken Ranger 2wd, plain Jane

My shift indicator leans way over to the right and does not move shifting from Park to drive at all.

My well behaved 2010 4cyl plain jane truck was kind to me, dying at home rather than someplace distant.

Expected lifespan of a plain Jane 4cyl 2010?

I just flipped 100k. There's a rattle that sounds like a loose heat shield but also the slightest bit of "throaty" sound. I'm thinking a failed gasket?

As a general rule of thumb, what's the...

Re: Strange auto tranny problem, 2010 2x2

Thank you, "...it reaches a threshold where it will upshift"

It never reaches a threshold, it'll just stay pinned. Shouldn't it downshift on its own at a certain point?

At any rate I'm pleased...
