2019 ford ranger review....

Weekend ranger pics. Its tranny is still surging while at 20 to 40 mph and holding a steady speed. Its jumping between gears.

I have the same complaint about my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. For example, if I'm coming into a town where the speed limit is 35 mpg and I back off the throttle it instantly downshifts. Then as I'm trying to maintain that 35 mph through town the tach jumps up and down a few hundred rpm the whole time I'm driving through town. Once I'm back out on the open road and driving 50+ mph the problem goes away. I believe it has something to do with the way they've programmed the computer that controls the transmission.

This surging is a more recent thing, like in the last 30K of mileage and a known problem with the 2019 rangers. Dealership has worked on it twice.

Those 10 speed transmissions have had their share of teething pains.

Sounds like the DPFE, if my reading is correct...

Who says baby size rangers can't tow? Its 16ft long.
