First impressions review of my 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 Off-Road

[cboggs]

is there an option for a circular speedometer gauge? I thought I remember seeing it in one of the review videos

Yes. You can change it in settings. As well as add the two gauges on the sides. Just figured it out last night. I do have the XLT high package.

nice! Thanks for confirming. I have the high package coming too. Something about just having a number for the speedometer feels strange

For some reason. not sure why because of all the different settings I’ve been playing with the auto start and stop has been off all day. And I’ve never put it in sport mode yet. My F-150 I would put in sport mode all the time to keep it turned off. So I’ve been thinking something I did turned it off completely. That’s my hope anyway. No I didn’t order mine until mid-July. So no rebate.

Interesting, I have an XLT, same color with sport appearance and fx4

I started to note that while mine is an XLT with Sport Appearance and FX4 packages and basic tow package, it does not have the sport, eco, etc drive modes. I bought mine off the dealer’s lot so I figure there must be a different package that is needed for those drive modes.

Does yours shut on and off? So far mine has never worked. Which I’m not complaining. What’s funny when I put mine in sport mode the light on dash comes on saying the engine on and off is disabled.

Mine doesn’t have those drive modes.

If you mean the motor auto shut off mode, yes it works but I disable it.

Mine has been disabled from day one. I don’t need to push the button e very time I get in the truck.

Any issues with your truck after a month? Do you still like it? Just looked at one yesterday. Same as yours. Azure XLT, FX4, trailer tow w/technology package. Drives nicer than my 2019 XLT. Are you still getting around 22 mpg?

No issues at all. Other then CarPlay connection at times. Which I’m sure that’s just an update thing that they will get figured out. I live in the mountains and travel up and down the mountains all the time. So ruff on MPG. If I use 87 I get 21.6 and up. If I use 93 I’m getting 22.6.

 

[Nautiquer]

Thanks. I think I’m going to get it. I’m just about to hit 120k on my 2019. Seems like a good time to move on to a new one.

How did you disable it? Details!

I've had my truck for about a month now and I have no idea how people are changing "Drive Modes." I've got a 24 Ranger Lariat FX4 and I've never seen those options.

I have an XLT high, non-FX4, with rear locker, with the tech and two package, and I have the normal/eco/sport/slippery/etc. drive modes.

Use the dial man. I change mine from normal to eco and back right now, when the weather changes I will use the other modes.
Also time to read the manual. It so easy to change the modes, obviously the dealer didn't give you a great hands on experience either.
