It will keep you from having a flat on the side of the road and ruining your wheel. Last I checked you can't check your pressure with a gauge going 70.
Yes, guess I did not think that through enough. But this makes me wonder, since Ranger is designed and developed in Australia where it has a PHEV power train, is it a non-starter to develop a Ranger Powerboost hybrid version for North America?
That is not good advice. I recently had a TPS warning while towing my boat on the highway. I pulled over and sure enough I had a nail in the tread. If I had ignored it my tire would have been destroyed.
Like someone else alluded to, the Vega rusted while it was on the assembly line! My boss used to give me brand new Ford pickups every two years when I was selling auto parts on the road starting in 1966. When the oil crisis hit, he put me in a Pinto! One day I had to pull over because every once in a while a wire or something came loose. I can't remember the details. But what will stick in my head forever is that one time I put the hood up and placed the prop rod up. So I'm under the hood and a gust of wind from behind blew the hood up, the rod fell, and the hood fell on my head. And akirby no wisecracks! So anyway, all I could think of was that if an alien spaceship had been observing this scenario, they would have thought cars eat people!!!!
That’s the problem with companies saving money by doing evolution design,
they keep a lot of overall shape and do styling fiddles and tech under the skin.
Or, you could be like Chevrolet, change the entire platform yet Camaro looked the same,
now that was a waste.
Moon roof is becoming an option on Ranger in other markets like Australia
so it’s more a flow on of already developed option and suppliers.
You’ll probably find that Ranger stays but only in the trims and pricing
that Ford wants to produce, lower price customers are already being
directed to Maverick.
TPMS sensors are powered by a non-replaceable battery. Either the battery or the pressure sensor itself failed, and there are no replaceable parts, the entire unit must be replaced. The best time to replace one or more is when getting new tires. I was quoted $120 to replace one on my 2009 Mariner when I bought new tires for it a few years ago, but declined as there were 3 more on deck. $480 for all four TPMS' seemed like a lot, so I bought a $4 gauge at Walmart to keep in the console.
