I wonder how people will react when they learn the front wheel and inner fender liner needs to be removed just to do an oil change on the Ranger? What a dumb design.

Cool little truck otherwise.

Can you provide a source to your comment?

From the links provided:

"A service procedure obtained by TTAC states that, after removing the left front wheel, a technician or owner must then remove an access panel secured by nine push-pin retainers. From there, one removes the filter with an end cap tool. To actually drain the oil, which of course you’ll accomplish before attacking that filter, you’ll first need to unbolt the power steering control module under body shield. Four bolts hold that on."

Apparently the oil change issue was somewhat exaggerated.
