Question for you lucky owners,
Is the factory horn on your Rangers an anemic single or a more presence commanding dual note system?

Thanks Phil,
I notice yours is a Lariat, one would expect such a setup from that trim level.
I fitted a circa 1971 Cadillac 4 note setup to my 2002 Honda CR-V, it gets the attention I need, the original Asian "weep-weep" horn setup just did not cut it.
What about you XL & XLT owners?
Here in Hawaii it's considered rude to overuse the horn, but when I need to get another drivers attention being polite is the furthest thing on my mind.

I have an XLT and it has a dual note horn. Very strong. Whereas my wife's 2018 Edge has the wimpiest single tone horn more suited for a LeCar.

Ah yes, the Renault LeCar, the French equivalent of the Yugo.
I remember Renault's sales slogan was "the one to watch"
Indeed you did need to watch that car, and to give it a wide berth on the road.

I'm such a calm and considerate driver I haven't had to use the horn yet so don't know.:crackup::crazy:[
I salute your laid back resolve sir, but then you're an Idahoan...lol

Dual horns on my Lariat too... nice and loud every time I get that double honk when I forget I have my fob in my pocket and shut the door!

Mines between my index and ring finger. :lipssealed:
Excellent response!
I myself actually have 2 "horns", they periodically protrude through the top of my head on occasion...
