Daughter has been commuting with the Ranger and they have been driving it around town. She is reporting it feels like it's got a little more power and no issues. Still doesn't like hills.
I'm going to have a mini-rant here. Used F150 was purchased from a dealership because they didn't want to get ripped off. They got ripped off. The dealership performed zero maintenance or repairs before they sold it. This has become very obvious their however many point inspection is total bulls%^t. The tires needed to be replaced a few weeks after purchasing, the brake pads are 80% worn, and the oil pan has obviously been leaking for a long time.
What a scam: Sell a used truck with issues, throw in an extended warranty. Then a few months later get same truck in their service department and charge the warranty company over $4,000 to replace the oil pan, valve covers and a bunch of related parts (TSB 24-2098). Then, have the gall to tell the customer they need new brake pads on a truck they just sold them with a estimate of over $1,100.
When they get it back we are going to replace the brake pads, and change trans and diff fluid, since there's no telling when any servicing was done. I'm used to the dealership my brother worked at for 28 years, where they perform maintenance and fix any issues with used vehicles before selling them. I guess I'm naive in thinking a major American vehicle manufacturer dealership would have integrity and want repeat business. If the truck wasn't already at the purchasing dealership, I would tell them to take it to a closer Ford dealership and let them get the $4,000 service job.
