Maybe one last post on this tailgate damper thing, maybe? I have owned pickup trucks for years, all full size. I guess I just adjusted to tailgates through the years. The truck was bad ass, the owner was bad ass, and the tailgate was bad ass. Nothing like flopping that tailgate down and picking...
I traveled Interstate 90 through NY to MA when my daughter was in college there. I remember a huge plow blade sitting just off the interstate I believe around Buffalo, NY with the previous years snow fall total that area had plowed. I don't recall the yearly numbers but it was an unbelievable...
If you are driving in snowy conditions wouldn't the entire windshield already be clean via the defroster and wipers on? Why would just that small area have its own defrost strip? Or, It may very well be a heat strip for people who are in a hurry and take off with just a small defrosted area to...
I never received any points with the purchase of my truck. I had the app prior to delivery. Being 10 months into my purchase I just received a statement via email stating I have 1037 points. I'm guessing I got these from an oil change? Is every purchase entitled to these points I'm reading about...
I have earlier posts expressing my concerns about the pre collision not working on my XLT. As I stated before, I travel a 2 lane limited access state hwy frequently. 60 mph speed limit. There are homes as well as side country roads along this hwy. Plenty of people slowing down to turn, mail...
My build date was 1/10/19 and my doors do not have the seal. Would this have been a robotic application? If so, maybe the person responsible for keeping the robot supplied with sealer didn't have a great attendance record.
I have not had this issue but might print that recall out and put in my truck in case I have the issue and don't know a tail lights out and get stopped by the police! Might help, might not? To the few here on this forum that have had tail light issues does the truck alert that a tail light is...
I have that app. When I get the email every morning I wish I could select what mail to deliver, and opt out of what I don't want. Let the USPS deal with the junk mail.
I live in IN and spend the winter in FL. I may never drive my Ranger on snow? Come to think of it why the hell did I buy 4X4? I'll just have to rely on other peoples posts as to how their Rangers do on snow this coming winter, as I read through ranger5g on my lanai, looking out at the ocean, and...
My last truck was a 2011 F150 4x4. 165,000 miles. No paint left on either side of the windshield and the paint was coming off where the roof met the windshield. 80% highway, 20% off road driving. Everyone would ask me what the heck is happening to the paint. I was always, not sure. Now I'm...
All depends. The only thing I have ever financed is houses, and with great interest rates. Cash for everything else. I haven't had a mortgage payment in 4 years. Mine and my wife's credit scores are through the roof crazy good. I believe you build your credit score throughout your life and...
Thanks for the article. I found it informative. I guess I was expecting the pre collision system to work/activate the same between my Explorer and Ranger since they're both Ford vehicles. Since they don't, I immediately thought something was wrong with the Ranger. I believe Gray Horizon made a...
The pre collision in my Explorer doesn't activate too quickly or too often at all. It has activated while I'm driving it I believe three times in 23,000 miles. One time was a beginning of a visual with the dash light strip, once with a visual/audible, and once with visual/audible/braking...
