Quick Answer
- Refrigerant Type: R-1234yf
- System Charge: 21.0 oz (595g)
- PAG Oil: PAG 46
- Oil Capacity: 4.4 oz (130mL)
- Low-Side Port: Near the firewall on the passenger side
- High-Side Port: Near the radiator on the driver's side
Why R-1234yf Matters
The 2025 Ford Ranger uses R-1234yf refrigerant, which has a much lower global warming potential than the R-134a used in older vehicles. This is a result of EPA regulations that began phasing out R-134a in 2014. While better for the environment, R-1234yf is more expensive and requires special equipment for service.
Recharge Procedure
A proper A/C recharge is not a simple top-off. The system must be evacuated with a recovery machine to remove all old refrigerant and moisture. Then, the exact charge of 21.0 oz (595g) is added. Do not use pressure gauges to determine the charge, as this can lead to over or undercharging and damage to the system.
Common A/C Problems for This Vehicle
While the 2025 Ford Ranger is a new model, common A/C problems in other vehicles of this type include:
- Compressor failures: The compressor is the heart of the A/C system and can fail due to leaks or lack of lubrication.
- Condenser issues: The condenser is located at the front of the vehicle and can be damaged by road debris, leading to leaks.
- Evaporator leaks: The evaporator is located inside the dashboard and can be difficult to access for repair.
When to Call a Pro
Due to the complexity of modern A/C systems and the special equipment required for R-1234yf, it is recommended to have any A/C service performed by a certified professional.
Disclaimer: EPA 609 certification is required to service A/C systems.
