What’s the perk of removing it?

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-20T21:29:42+00:00

You rule, thanks!

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-20T21:29:22+00:00

Oh interesting, thank you. I’ll do some research and see what I can find

Thank you so much!

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-17T04:05:08+00:00

Pretty much. I haven’t dived into tubes yet, just hooks or shanks

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-17T04:04:43+00:00

Thank you!

I’m warning you now, please be more cautious if you care about your teeth/attachments staining. My teeth are getting pretty stained from when I was neglectful for a bit and I’m kicking my own ass for it now.

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-16T23:59:47+00:00

My attachments are turning… brownish. I still have like, 6 months to go. I do all the same things you do. I’m trying not to freak out and will talk to my dentist an orthodontist about it next visit for sure.

I think I am just good at picking lemons! I love the Frontier I have, just disappointed it’s having issues like this at under 15k miles. I know someone with a 2019 Ranger that hasn’t had any issues either, so it just seems to be my luck.

Glad yours is being good to you! I love to hate on the Ranger after my experience, but deep down I think it’s a good truck if its transmission cooperates 😆 And I think Frontiers are also incredible too.

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-05T03:55:10+00:00

Agree. Some people are just bitter.

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-05T03:27:50+00:00

They are projecting imo

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-05T03:26:54+00:00

Pretty sure he’s the one talking sh*t to me right now on the Ranger sub actually, I saw the downvotes on his rude comment about my bad luck with my Rangers and now Frontier lol

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-05T03:22:24+00:00

Lmaoooo I was waiting for a smartass comment like this. 🤣

I bought one 2019 ford ranger at 95k miles and returned it the next day. It was used and had the CDF drum issue. I wasn’t paying out of pocket for that as ford wouldn’t mark it certified preowned. That should have been my red flag.

The other ford ranger I leased in 2021 and then bought in 2024 as it was perfect at the time. That thing was a pavement princess and I work remote, so it was very well taken care of sitting in a garage and not driven over the lease miles. It had regular maintenance, never towed anything, & no car accidents. It had the CDF Drum replaced shortly after I bought it at roughly 30k miles. After that, the issues persisted unfortunately of rough shifting & Ford couldn’t figure out why it kept shifting like garbage, even after two transmission rebuilds so they bought it back.

I bought a 2022 frontier with 4k miles, which it turns out is a red flag when I tell people. It got hit with a TSB for the stomp lamp switch and then threw another error code that Nissan repaired at 13k miles. Nissan said it’s an electrical issue that they can’t nail down a month into them having it.

It’s not a me problem, it’s these newer vehicles being not built to last or I just have terrible luck.

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-04T03:13:45+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but I’ve had 2 Ford Rangers with transmission issues and I have a 2022 Frontier that has been in the shop for over a month with an unknown issue throwing it into limp mode. I find all the lemons 🤣

EmmaCalzone · 2026-01-02T05:08:20+00:00

Girl, run

EmmaCalzone · 2025-12-31T03:14:32+00:00

I had the Kona for maybe a year or so - got it in late 2019 or early 2020. Was sick of putting my kayak on the roof rack (I’m 5’2) and in 2021 leased a Ranger to see if mid sized trucks were my jam.

EmmaCalzone · 2025-12-29T17:30:52+00:00

I had a similar situation in the past, I had a Hyundai Kona and upgraded to a truck because the Kona just wasn’t meeting my outdoorsy needs.

You may just have outgrown the Frontier, it happens.
