Seems legitimate.

Has anyone previously installed the “ultra long range extender” for the factory remote start on another Ford vehicle? It’s $30 on the Ford Accessories site, do you think it would be worth it? I’d prefer to not pay a monthly subscription to have Ford SmartLink draining my battery for 4 days at a...

Agreed and they usually perform better unstacked, but they were probably lacking the space in the rear row.

My understanding is that they’ve done so much work to soundproof the bottom of the cab and firewall from road noise that they have effectively muted most of the sound from the engine, taking away that audio feedback that some people love or require. That soundproofing is great while cruising but...

I highly doubt there’s a transmission dipstick. You service the fluid when it hits its maintenance interval, otherwise you leave it alone unless you get a check engine light triggered by a low fluid quantity code.

That Jeep truck looks remarkably expensive. Not sure why the Ranger is a “virtual no-show.”

At first I thought it was odd that they chose a engine driven fan. I thought the electric fans were efficient enough to add a MPG, which is usually enough incentive for them to use one over a traditional engine-driven fan. But then if you were going to take your Ranger on a significant...

I understand your sentiment about the sloping hood line, but that you’ll love that forward visibility if you are getting the FX4 package and will be using trail control for rocky climbs (I know I will to a couple fishing and camping spots here in CO). And from a driving around town perspective...

That last demo driver was considerably more informative than the others I’ve watched.

Wow, that is some delay for a keypad. I guess I won’t be expecting my Lariat until April at the earliest now.

“Chill out” “panties” “butt-hurt” Nice rebuttal. It’s been a great conversation, bye bye.

I understand that. I was entertaining the hypothetical “if it were hard wired.”

Do you normally reply to the wrong person? Auto 4WD certainly could be an option, but yes everything has a cost; were you being uncleverly sarcastic with that point or were you purposely trying to be a jerk? Anyhow I think I made the point that Auto 4WD High was unnecessary for my driving...

I disagree. I’m going to say the keypad pictured above it is battery powered regardless. It is essentially identical to the battery keypad I had installed onto my Explorer in 2005. If Ford were going to hard wire a keypad onto the door it would be in the same fashion as every other model post...

That is circa 2005. You would think they would have at least slimmed it down by this point. It really sticks out. I ordered it. I wonder if it’s a factory or dealer installed keypad, because I might just mount it (or remount it in a hidden location in the bed of the truck, out of sight. I only...

I hope so. Everyone I know that’s owned an EcoBoost so far has been very pleased. The 2.7L on my Edge Sport has been nothing but reliable and it packs a respectable punch, especially here at 6,600ft above sea level. Ford took a gamble making the EcoBoost line their flagship engines and it has...

Agreed.

I included a link above that has the dyno charts. They break-down how inefficient the stock intercooler is compared the Mitsumoto. I’m not going to argue that a tune and higher flow air intake wouldn’t increase the effectiveness of an performance intercooler. However, anytime air is compressed...

I sent a product suggestion email to the folks at Mishimoto performance about the potential of an aftermarket intercooler for the Ranger. Currently the Mishimoto for the EcoBoost Mustang goes for about $520 on their website and according to the article above is good for around 40 extra ponies...

I disagree it’s a bad thing. I don’t find it terribly difficult to turn a dial one click to turn on 4WD when I know I need it. However, it annoys me when there is no option to completely turn it off, your options being Auto 4WD High, 4WD High and 4WD Low. Having a true 2WD selection makes it...
