2019 Ford Ranger Taking Orders

[Todd780]

Yes, to hit the switch every time, pain in the ass..

Oh I agree! It just felt a little petty actually complaining about it, lol....

Yes, to hit the switch every time, pain in the ass. You just pull the switch and connect two wires together and its permanent disabled.

What's your confidence level that it will work on the Ranger? I know nobody really knows....but its concerning that the 7 to 4 pin and 7 pin tester didn't work (for me). Do you have a link on how to do this?

*Edit - I could have just searched too! Found this:

Update - so I've had my rig for a week or so now, about 300 miles on the clock.

I think a comparison to the Colorado Z71 would be more appropriate. The ZR2 is more specialized than the TRD or FX4 with a different suspension that the normal Colorado/Canyon.

I thought so too but this data was easy to find. Let me know what the differences are and I'll update...

Caveat - we all know dyno graphs, kinda like the joke about Statistics, particularly ones from tuners, but here is an interesting one from 5Star, pretty flat torque curve. There are some rumors that these Ecoboost's get more power than they are rated for by the OEM when using premium vs 87 in stock trim.

My tech tells me the switch works just like the F-150, and he can disable it in 10 min. That link is pretty cool too for $100.00. The wires at the switch are really tiny, so some might not be comfortable messing with them.

Its not a rumor. When you run 91 octane, the vct do not retard the timing as much, makes more HP. Ford engineers say around 15 more HP.

I'll get some Av gas next time and maybe it will get me another 75+?

I ordered one....I don't like screwing with OEM wiring beyond plugging stuff in and being able to (quickly) reverse it if needed.

Hey engines usually run their best right before they blow up!

What do fighter planes use - JP4? Try some of that, should give you gobs of power!

Turbo vs turbine, meh, close enough....maybe I could also get another 10,000 rpm too?

Only if you remove your air filter. Jet turbines have no air filters.

I believe the Ranger has an 18 gallon tank. Does anyone know what the range is supposed to be for a 4x4? I'm thinking 18 gallons x 24 mpg highway = 432 miles? Optimistically... Sound about right?

Geez. Pretty small tank.
