  1. Couple of questions

    I’min the middle of nowhere right now and did not bring my manual. Intended to actually read it this his weekend and learn a few things. Hope no one minds the questions as the manual is 500 miles away. 1. Lane keeping. I know it can be turned off, set to just warn or set to warn and assist...
  2. Best Tire Shine product

    I’ve tried many and really haven’t found anything I like. I think the latest product I have tried is Meguiars Hot Shine or something similar. I wasn’t impressed. I’d like to find a product that has some shine to it but not overly glossy. And nothing greasy and something that doesn’t sling...
  3. Best Bug Remover??

    Bug B Gone works wonders. Made by Sea Foam I believe. Non abrasive as I am not a fan of scrubbing with abrasive material on expensive headlight lenses and paint. (I believe the turtle wax product has abrasive in it). It isn’t cheap but you can purchase in gallon containers and refill a spray...
  4. Auto Climate Control

    Actually you are not correct. Prior vehicle was a Jeep Grand Cherokee and all you had to do was push the auto button and set the temp and temp was automatically controlled. Same thing with the Dakota before it and same thing with the wife’s Audi Q5 and her Lincoln MKX before it. So every...
  5. Auto Climate Control

    This is what I thought. It makes no sense to me to have to push the A/C button when I have auto climate control. No other car I have owned worked this way. Every other vehicle you just dial in your temperature and the climate control just managed everything.
  6. Soft tonneau covers

    I bought the Access Lorado cover. Up here in MN, it is recommended over the Truxedo products. Didn't get a real good explanation as to why but there 10X more access covers up here than Truxedo. Purchased it from Panda Motorworks and everything was great. Mark
  7. Michigan Assembly Plant "Built with Pride" sticker

    I have that sticker on my truck, if I can get it off in one piece, I'm more than happy to send it to anyone who would like it. Free of charge. Kind of guy I am. If interested, let me know and I'll try to get it off this weekend. Mark
  8. Effect of start/stop on turbo?

    I’m 99% sure it does have either coolant or oil running through the turbo when the vehicle shuts down. You can hear it. Put the Ranger in park and turn it on. Open the hood. Shit the Ranger off while standing in front. You will here the turbo timer running either/both oil or water through the...
  9. Some POS

    This one looks easily easily repairable. Typical rule of thumb, if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, it may need paint. If you are uncomfortable around running a buffer over your paint, you can do a couple of things. Bring it to a body shop and ask their opinion on buffing it out...
  10. Having trouble updating Sync

    I figured out my issue and it was just dumb luck. The computer I was downloading the files to is a computer I am not allowed to transfer files off of. Any file saved on the computer and subsequently transferred to a thumb drive is encrypted. The computer the file came from can read it but any...
  11. Having trouble updating Sync

    I found the thread below and have followed the instructions. Here is what I have done: 1. 8GB USB drive 2. Formatted exFAT 3. Went to Ford site and downloaded the new update to Windows computer. 4. Dragged and dropped this file onto the USB drive (site says the files will automatically...
  12. Auto Climate Control

    I don't know if this is correct. I've read the manual and tried your suggestion. The manual says to hit the auto button and then choose your temp and the climate control automatically adjusts hot and cold air to get to the correct temperature. Double pushing the Auto button twice does bring...
  13. Auto Climate Control

    I have a Lariat and do not believe the auto climate control is working properly. Could once again be me not understanding how it is supposed to work on the Ranger. I thought all I had to do was push the auto button and chose my temperature and the system would do whatever it needed to do to...
  14. Had the Ranger for 1 week, two things I need some help

    Who Who would have thought to just push the power button on the radio? On the last vehicle I had to push the Start/Stop button. Thanks - I guess it’s good to know others have noticed the quickness of the auto stop feature. Mark
  15. Had the Ranger for 1 week, two things I need some help

    1. How do you just turn on the truck to listen to the radio? I know - how stupid is this question. I currently sit in the truck and push the start button once and I don't think this is the accessory only mode as the little engine light is on on the dash and I get a warning after a short...
  16. Access Lorado cover

    Got mine from Panda (Thank you very much) and I have question. I thought I had read somewhere that the Ranger requires an extra piece up at the front of the bed to allow these things to fit correctly. Did I imagine this? I don't think I have anything special in my box. Mark
  17. Ranger Vehicle Visibility Requests Megathread

    Got my Ranger on Monday. Couldn’t be happier. Naturally I asked the dealership to make sure a few thing were right (air pressure, sync update - stuff like this) and naturally my pressure was 50psi and the Sync is not the latest. I did have washer fluid though. Here are a couple of pics...
  18. Need some help/advice

    Thanks. I got xplan pricing due to where I work. Also got the $750 incentive. I’m just seeing these newer discounts that I k is I qualify for. Just trying to determine best way to handle the discussion this eveneing when I pick up the Ranger. Doesn’t seem right to me that the dealer would...
  19. Need some help/advice

    Yeah I know this. Issue is that I do qualify for some rebates but the dealer is says my I don’t. Ford Motor company says I do but it have to go through the dealer. The ford incentive site says I qualify for some and dealer is saying mg either I don’t get them or I have to wait till I close on...
  20. Need some help/advice

    Tomorrow I meet the dealer to take delivery of my new Ranger - Lariat, FX4 and a few other goodies. When I see all these incentives I give my dealer a call and ask if they apply to me. I always get either a straight out “no” or a “we will run all the available rebates for you when you pick up...
