Ya, I was aware if that.. had done a search of the site this past week. Given my previous problem when the truck had some kind of electrical problem and threw a fit, refusing to start for 5 minutes, I wouldn't want to do anything to potentially void any warranty work if the situation ever became more serious. Better if Ford just added the capability to switch it off in the menu system.
I would agree - I really hated that behavior and was glad to turn it off. I never understood what people were talking about until it happened to me like twice in two days. The next day I disabled it. It was extremely annoying and not helpful (at least to me).
This is getting out of the truck when the doors are still locked. So the interior door handle.
10-4. I don’t use Autolock, can’t stand it and I don’t live in an area that requires it. Have you enabled Auto-unlock?
Manual Sliding or Power Sliding... those windows are so small, I'm at a loss as to why they even bothered to add the rear window?
First thing to do is turn off the automatic 3MPH lock feature, this will make it easier for egress for both driver and passenger.
`I have a retired buddy with Ford and he was some type of engineer and designer. He showed me some old Mercury and Mustang badges that he said he designed. He had some proofs. But when I introduce him I say he was the engineer that designed the location for the one spark plug that you could never reach. Did you know him? LOLHi Dan,
Mr Nakanishi thought a Peeve was a breed of Dog or Cat....not really too sure, but clearly it was some sort of pet.
There were many more Idioms eg. I can give you a ballpark answer....Blank stare..What mean "ballpark"?

Hi Sandy,

Hi Sandy,
Yeah...I know that spark plug well! My dream job at Ford was the design and release of the little ball on top of the aerial

True, the weight is placed upon the glass now, though the new Tacoma's lowered bed height affects that ease of sliding items through. I was not a fan of the lowered bed height, I found tailgaters would roll up closer to my arse than they did in the Tundra, or with this Ranger. I know a lot of guys like the lower height, and dislike the Ranger's bed height, each his own. At least we have a rear defroster in the Ranger with the sliding glass, my Tacoma had the powered rear glass window and no defroster.Manual Sliding or Power Sliding... those windows are so small, I'm at a loss as to why they even bothered to add the rear window?
On my '02 Tacoma I liked the sliding rear window because it was full height. This allowed you to open the window and slide long items through the window into the cab (like long trim boards, pvc pipe etc.). Those items would lay on the metal window frame. But since the Ranger window is like a portal through glass, I couldn't imagine ever laying anything on the glass in fear of breaking it. Therefore I didn't get one at all.
