Why is my Ford Ranger automatically shifting into four-wheel drive?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and noticed that it shifts into four-wheel drive on its own. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Hi Marie, this is a common issue with Ford Rangers. The automatic four-wheel drive feature can be problematic and can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicle. My advice would be to switch to manual four-wheel drive and only engage it when necessary. This will help prolong the life of your truck.

Marie, I had the same issue with my Ford Ranger. After doing some research, I discovered that there is a problem with the four-wheel drive shift solenoid. I recommend taking your truck to a mechanic and having it replaced as soon as possible.
