  • Hinterachsfeder Ranger?

    moin i have a Ford ranger bj. 2000 and now for the second time both leaf springs have been broken back. today I ordered a reviewer to find out that possibly a stabilizer could eliminate this problem. I never load my ford more than 400 kg and as an off-road vehicle should not make out to him the condition of the local roads too much. terrain he hardly sees. is there anyone here who has the similar problems? I had asked at mazda, if there are also problems with the springs with the B2500. the local kfz-meister confirmed this to me and advised me to install an additional spring position. but that is not allowed without further, as then the operating permits expires (HILFEEE!!!) slowly the thing becomes a bit too expensive for me. ford rejects every fault of himself and I will now probably hand the thing over to a lawyer. fast post would be great thanks ifl

  • Ford Escape Hybrid- also in Germany?

    Hello, does any of you have any information if the Ford Escape (=Maverick) Hybrid already launched in the USA also comes to us? Is a really cool car, little consumption and a lot of power despite environmental friendliness. Would like to put a new car in my winter and fluctuate still… but that would be an interesting alternative. So I would be happy about some positive information… with friendly collegial greetings Peter

  • My little one.

    For those who are interested and want to know more about it, here are some pictures of my Explorer (Gen5) modifications so far: 1. DeeZee running boards (chrome/black) 2. red wheel nuts 3. 6 cromated roof column panels 4. Protection for rear bumper 5. Dirt catcher behind the wheels 6. red cap for AHK 7. red shark fin antenna not visible 8. Speed limiter removed 9.Prins gas system with 65 liters gas tank instead of the spare wheel 10. AHK turn signal control horn by control Since the CHP (California Highway Patrol) operates the Explorer as a service vehicle, there are a lot of further modifications, but they are either not approved in Dtld. (e.g. cow catcher) but somehow unnecessary (center console made of aluminium for 4 radios, with ammunition and weapons holder and holder for a notebook). Because of a more powerful braking system (ha) replaces the lamp (who came up with the idea to install a horn has never been driven with a trailer for more than 30 minutes). b already the first set of brake discs worn) I still discuss with the TÜV… Let’s see.

  • Jmd. Experience values with new ranger, type III ?

    Although we have been waiting since 08.01.2013 for our 3.2l Ranger 6-speed switch (Limited version) which should have been delivered originally in 04/2013, but the time before it actually comes from South Africa, we would like to use it to ask which already gained experience: Are defects or weak points already known, if yes, what kind? In advance thank you! Greeting T

  • Battery for 2007 Ranger

    Hello, I have a 2007 Ranger XLT Limited (143 hp, 2.5l, diesel) and no idea what kind of battery is in it. Somehow I can’t see the label (not without expanding it) and I found nothing in the manual. Well… and since it’s been ticking around after 2-3 days of service, it’s probably time to exchange it before the winter! Can someone tell me how much Ah should have the good piece! Thank you & Greeting Peter

  • What’s wrong with my four-wheel??

    Hei, today I had the pleasure of driving my ranger “right” test, 40cm of fresh snow and on the other side of the garden is the stallion. So pure into the ranger and go. Man does the fun, but when the stallion was on it, empty with 125kg of own weight the car started to get problems in advance driving. Mhhhm Allrad was in and Low, should be no problem. After I got out and ran around the car I see the front left of the tire engulfed. Is the Nor Shouldn’t a “all-wheel” turn with “all-rows”?? So what’s broken??

  • Ford Ranger XLT Limited from 2010

    Hello for now, I plan for the future to buy an SUV. This leads to the fact that I have been able to find various magazines, inform myself here in the forum and already have a Ford Kuga test. Now I have come through, pure chance, with an offer from a Ford dealer who sells a ranger. I looked at the pictures and was quite impressed. Now it is that I would have the means in not too long time to buy me another car. But ask me. I really do, what does the Ranger devour in the maintenance? I would like to note that I have always been a fan of America, which is not really difficult as an American, and during my countless visits over there the pickups there always felt very attractive and exciting for me. I also like the Ford brand, because so far I have only been able to gain good experience with this brand. But I am not necessarily brand faithful, so I drove a C-Class for 9 years. What I really like What would such a car consume in maintenance? How would such cars tend to be classified in insurance? And what about the tax? These are now very general questions, but also very important. Cost of maintenance, especially for the tires, the offer I have seen, had 245/70 on 16″ rims. Do the generally all-year tires on it or summer tires? How high are the prices for new tires? I like cars that mic h already at first glance fascinating. But I also want to be able to entertain this fascination. I never worshiped my cars, but I still enjoyed every kilometer. When I had looked at some SUVs, I was impressed by the sitting position. I found this offer even more impressive now. Would also ask, how well can I move in everyday life? How are your experiences there? Is the Ford too murky? Is its dimensions bursting every dimension, what can be considered As I said, I could buy it at some point, and probably I would also have the necessary financial resources for the maintenance. But as always, when it comes to money, you also want to know how expensive the whole thing comes to you. Since I can count myself among the lucky ones who don’t have it very far to work in the day, I also don’t get to a lot of kilometers a year. However, I never have any interest in that anyway. I’d just like to know what kind of experience you’ve had and if you could give me some tips ? Mfg

  • Ranger XLT 5-speed, clutch(?) clapping

    I drive a Ford-Ranger XLT with manual transmission here in the Philippines, i.e. the version identical to the Mazda-B. In idle and decoupled condition, I have a loud flap-rear, which reminds me of the flapping of wrongly set valves. If I step the clutch, the noise is almost gone. I can usually step the clutch several times and at some point after the repeated re-coupling the roughness is gone. achen, however, I have the problem that at higher speeds (from about 2700 revolutions) there are strong vibrations from the engine/gear range, so I can hardly drive faster than 90 kmh because of fear of consequential damage. At 90 mmh this sounds as if I had forgotten to switch and would still drive in the second gear. Any idea? Clutch, Ausruecklager …. If outreach bearings, how can I change the Ausruecklager? Do I have to expand the gear, The car has now run 80,000 km, has been in my possession for a year and so far did not cause any problems on a leaky clutch hydraulics. In particular, it does not consume oil and starts very well. The ‘friendly’ is very friendly, but has no idea what that could be. But the ‘zero clue’ does not say anything, that is the standard with Filipinos to which it should be desired. I thank you in advance. Guenther Davao Ci ty, Philippines, Planet Earth, 33.9 °C

Especially on the topic Ford I am still a very cool newcomer…. that’s why this question: I would like to get a Ford Maverick, so from Baujah 01… Now, as chance wants, I have a Maverick 3.0 US-Modell in the area.
