  1. UAW Strike

    Due to the UAW strike, suppliers are being affected as well as the manufactures. Has anyone been unable to have their truck repaired due to your dealer's inability to get parts?
  2. A couple of things for Ford to consider ...

    I'm going to assume Ford watches this forum, so I'm posting a couple of items for consideration: - A large number of people off-road. I would like to see an optional thumb drive that, depending on the geographical area, would bring up topographic maps on the nav screen similar to a standard...
  3. Snow Tires??

    The Ranger is in need of new tires. I've got some all season tires in mind, but am wondering if a set of pure snow tires have evolved enough to be installed year round without wearing out so quickly they are not worth it, making all-season a better choice? I know when pure snow tires initially...
  4. Additional CURT controller question?

    '19 Ranger w/trailer tow package. Early production. Purchased a Curt for my new dual axle ATV trailer w/brakes. 7-pin connector. When connected directly to the trailer all the lights/turn signals work fine. Installed the Curt ap on my iPhone as instructed, plugged in the Curt unit, turned...
  5. Voice Control/Navagation

    Okay, feeling pretty old and not very smart, or at least tech savy. I own three Ford vehicles and each has navigation. Despite my efforts over the years (by '12 Focus ST also had Nav) I am unable to vocally insert an address or POI successfully, particularly when that address is out-of-state...
  6. Forscan vs. temp gauge

    I own a Ranger Lariat. The water temperature gauge is only on one of the left hand screens. Can FORSCAN program the water temperature gauge to show on the other screens?
  7. Tow question

    When tow-haul button is pressed, does the dash light remain on? The manual seems to indicate it remains on as long as a trailer is connected, but the light on my '19 Ranger only remains on briefly then goes off. The manual also seems to indicate the button has to be held down instead pressed...
  8. Daytime running lights

    I've noticed when the headlight switch is in ANY position except the "auto" position the daytime running lights are off. When the switch is in the "auto" position then the daytime running lights are on. Is this normal operation? It seems as though those lights should be on all the time the...
  9. Navigation

    I have not seen this subject covered anywhere. Many of us take our trucks off-road. A very useful addition would be to have access to Topo maps on our nav screen. I have Nav on my Ranger and it would be nice to have those topos available. Does anyone know any developer that offers this?
  10. Power Washer

    The thread concerning the use of a power washer against wheel well trim brought to mind some comments about power washers in general. Please allow the following. A family friend invented the power washer concept in the early '50s. I've been using them since my father was a test business...
  11. Pivot Box Question

    I searched and the pivot box question was previously asked, but one area not covered very well and I'd like a little more information was the various boxes out there vs cost. The Ford OEM box was around $200, give or take a little. After market is about $110, give or take a little Does...
  12. Clear Bra/3M/Etc.

    Spending a couple of months in the south IOT escape some the continued snow of WY and today priced a Clear Bra for the front of the truck. Previously had the front end of a previously owned Volvo XC90 covered for about $500 so I was in shock when quoted a price of $1,700 for the front of the...
  13. Hankook Tires

    Think I've given my OEM FX4 tires a pretty good test (non-scientific) so far this winter so here's a little input. - Miles on truck so far 8,000+ - Home: NW Wyoming - 6 miles of gravel road to 2-lane highway. 100% snow covered/packed w/two feet of snow on the ground. Comments: Late...
  14. 4x4/FX4 Question

    Is there ANY mode of 4-wheel drive that has "torque vectoring"? Watched a Youtube clip indicating that when in 4-wheel drive and through braking of the slipping wheel, torque will then be applied to the wheel with the most traction. The clip indicated torque vectoring was available when the...
  15. Electronic Problem While Towing

    Two PAX in truck, one ATV in the bed and two on the towed trailer climbing up Parleys canyon east of SLC. About 3/4 of the way up the canyon (petty heady climb of about 10 miles) truck went into limp mode and significantly reduced power. Outside temperature was cool and truck was running fine...
  16. Auto Window up/down for other than driver's door

    Anyone know what's involved in adding an up/down module to PAX and rear doors? If added will the driver's door switches also work the auto feature on the doors as well?
  17. Adaptive Transmission Learning

    Does the adaptive learning transmission continue to "learn" or does the learning process stop after a period or distance? Immediately after purchase I made a 1000 mile all-highway trip from Iowa to my home in Wyoming. Now that it's being driven "normally" as a daily driver the transmission...
  18. Musings fr new member and '19 owner

    Ordered in Jan, picked up in April. Supercrew FX4 Lariat - loaded. Now 2,300 miles. Longest drive, 1000 mile 2-day trip. - Really wanted the 6' box but the de-limiter was the 90 degree rear door opening. The F-150 opens 170 degrees. It was a feature I really disliked on my 2005. Trying to...
