2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
Going hunting this weekend, RWD with locker and stock tires did pretty well on about a 2 mile wet clay road.

Love the grill. Is that factory lightning blue paint matched or just a similar blue?

We went to the dealership together to get screwed around in the service dept. Called last week asking to get engine oil/filter changed, and F&R diffs and transfer case oil changed. No problem, bring her in at 2:30. I arrive at 2:15 and am told if I want the diffs and t/c oil changes, I'll need to leave it overnight. What? I don't want the hassle of leaving it overnight for a few fluid changes. Then I'm told "well it wasn't me" that arranged your appointment. Nice answer. If I ever told a customer "it wasn't me" I'd probably be fired. So, I could only get the oil and filter changed.

Is is just me or is it unusual to hope to get oil/filter/diff/tcase fluids changed without leaving your vehicle overnight? I mean really, I have had surgery and didn't need to stay overnight.

Sorry about your experience Paul. Unfortunately this seems to be a common occurrence now a days (bad customer service) and is only going to get worse.

Yup, they're just not customer oriented these days. ):

Took mine out scouting for Elk locally. Found them! Also, had to use the rear diff lock and crawl mode to get myself unstuck. Was surprised how well it worked. I was just about to get the traction boards out (didnt want to swallow my pride and call my buddy with a Toyota) and thought what the heck, lets try one of these hyped up 4wd modes since I paid for it...Couldnt believe how well it worked!

Daughter called yesterday. She was at a store, had just bought a used dresser for the baby’s room. Needed to get it home. I happened to be free so I drove to the store, we loaded it and took it to their home. The Ranger box is so deep that lying the dresser flat I could close the tonneau to keep the snow off it. Simple story but feeling dad-satisfied.

When I get home from work, installing my remote start Start-x module. The ford app sucks
You have a lariat and are installing a 3rd party remote start, Is that not standard with the lariat?

You can only get the remote start on the keyfob if you have the 501 package, otherwise its only through the app

Sheesh, it's the top trim that should be standard. All these different packages to nickle and dime basic features that should be standard.
