    I would love to see a tune for pulling a trailer no just wide-open performance. I and some other reliability upgrades like decent set of shocks, bedliner, headache rack. Lean into the utility of the truck as a shop truck and tow vehicle

    I know my story is coming a few years late. I bought a 22 Ranger back in June of 22 and I just started making some changes to the performance (and hopefully in the near future, the look). I choose to go the with the dual pipe Magnaflow and I think my truck sounds awesome! I really wish I found you guys a lot sooner because I'm liking what you are doing to your Ranger and it's now giving me inspiration on what I will be doing to mine here in the future!

    Fox 2.0's and a Livernois tune will make the truck a whole different animal and makes for an all around more enjoyable driving experience on and off-road. If you upgrade the leaf springs, it makes a huge difference in the ride as well.

    Maybe just try adding one of the many available performance or even tow tunes to it and see what you think. Obviously some suspension upgrades would be nice too. I couldn't stand the FX4 suspension on my Ranger and Fox fixed up that "boaty" ocean feel of the rear end right up.

    I have a pretty baseline 2021 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss that is missing some features. It's beautiful, but I love what you guys have done to this Ranger. I thought about it when purchasing but we have a ~15 yo 6'5" 400lb football monster.... lol. So, giant V8 4x4 for us. This series is inspiring. Love the headlights, I need a steering wheel upgrade, it could use a better sound system and some simple stupid USB ports in the back.

    The hand tool section hit home for me. I'm currently working on rebuilding a 1965 Ford F100 and 90% of it has been done with hand tools. I personally like using hand tools but its also due to the fact that I dont have a shop to work in or any actual power running out to where I am working on it.

    I'm all for zipping things together with power tools. You can still use a socket, or even a torque wrench, to tighten it. It doesn't only save time- your wrists and elbows will thank you as you get older. That said, if you're just learning, do it by hand to get the feel of it so you don't strip things.
