So, something I noticed. I have been starting my truck remotely. When the truck is started remotely the defroster comes on in some kind of auto mode. I never really pay attention to it and the indicator lights are dark. Then I insert and turn the key and usually switch the heat to direct out of...
I normally keep my temperature setting at just before the maximum setting. The maximum setting automatically jumps the fan speed to the maximum level. Maybe the knob reading signal to the computer is noisy and it is erroneously detecting a slight turn clockwise and commanding the fan speed to...
That doesn't work in the winter.
That's what the operator's manual calls it. I can only select the fan speed and approximate temperature by rotating the two knobs that control those settings. I don't have controls to select a desired cabin temperature.

Recently my heat has been acting strange. Occasionally the fan speed changes to maximum without me touching the controls. The AC button also lights.
Fordpass tells me where my truck is, I assume that info comes via Ford. So Ford must always know where my truck is driving. Not sure what value that would be to law enforcement, not relevant to them. The trucks have an accident recorder mentioned in the operator's manual that law enforcement can...
Had my battery replaced recently and my transmission was hanging on gears way too long. Felt like I had no torque. Drove this way for a while then it just cleared up. 2019, transmission has otherwise always been incredibly smooth and peppy. I would buy another Ranger.
When I try to search online inventory at my local dealer, "Ranger" doesn't even show up in the list. Maybe because they don't have any, but it seems like the Ranger is gone. Maybe the price is too high nowadays. I don't get the elimination of the 6 foot bed in the 2024 model. I love my Ranger...
Got an oil change this week and the service rep advised me I was due a 20,000 mile ethanol treatment and a coolant change at 40,000 miles. How can you expect a young service technician to respect the customers and their vehicles when they know their managers are trying to scam all the customers ?
i have only intentionally selected the automatic position on my light mode selector dial, which means it is rotated clockwise as far as it goes. Sometimes my selector changes to the lights on position which is one position counterclockwise from the automatic selection. I never intentionally...
I picked up my truck. Recall fix wasn’t necessary. Service rep told me my modem needs to be replaced and they have it on order. When I got home, the Fordpass app seems to be working fine and connectivity is enabled on the synch display. So, very confusing.
I chatted with “the fordpass team” and they concluded that something is wrong with my modem. It’s at the dealer today for a seatbelt recall. They said they will look into the modem. Could be a good day or a doubly bad day.
