[2019 Ranger Production Information]

Just heard from the local dealership that they have 2 allocations, and should be able to put my name on one of them. They were thinking they would see them around April, but hopefully sooner.

Hello and welcome nordicpc sir! Has your GMC/Buick dealership checked the service calibrations for the transmission and engine computers in your truck? There's a software update mentioned in bulletins PIP5303 and PIP5303A. It applies to 2015 and some 2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon V6. Maybe that will help with the transmission operation.

 

Hope you can get the transmission issues sorted out on your Canyon while you wait to get your new Ford Ranger. Colorado and Canyon are very good trucks otherwise.

 

Ohh yes, I've been to the dealership several times about the issue. They claim every bulletin has been taken care of, and all software updates are in. Really, it's just poorly geared at the end of the day. I used high-octane gas for a while and the problem mostly went away, but with prices going up, I've decided to just deal with it until I can move on.

 

Thank you for the help though!

My 2016 Canyon 3.6L 6-Speed auto has been a chore to drive for 47,000 miles now. Constant shifting, no power under 2,400 RPM, and the transmission likes to use 6th gear at 42 mph which causes noticable stuttering on the verge of a full-out stall. A light hill at 65 mph requires two shifts from 6th to 5th to finally 4th to maintain speed. I'm just trying to figure out how to get into a Ranger the fastest way possible at this point. Nothing can be this bad.
