  1. Tow Mirrors

    I don’t know about any other options, I looked around too before I ended up shelling out for the Clearviews, and really can’t say enough good things about them. They’re great for towing, but I like the wide convex mirror at the bottom for freeway driving too, really makes a difference being...
  2. Garmin Wireless PowerSwitch

    That is pretty sweet, a smart switch for your car. The only drawback might be having to swipe around to flip lights on and off, but probably not that much of an inconvenience especially if it’ll also work via voice assistant.
  3. Choose Your Own Adventure Book: Buying a Raptor

    It’s definitely a good looking truck, and that color really suits it. Shortly after the ā€œbuild and priceā€ came online I built a Z71 in Sand Dune and started wondering what my Ranger is really worth…. Current truck is in never-never land, warranty is over but she’s not costing me much - yet.
  4. EV Cautionary tale

    I swear they should just change our anthem to ā€œIt’s the government’s faultā€ā€¦. Unfortunately it’s going to get worse, the feds up here have mandated a phase-out of ICE’s for passenger vehicles by 2035. The infrastructure up here has a LONG way to catch up, distances are too big and chargers can...
  5. Tow longevity

    Just curious how much extra gas you carried to get you between fill-ups, especially on the Dempster? Sounds like an awesome trip.
  6. Looking At A Used SmartCap

    Thanks for the advice everyone, much appreciated. Had a likely candidate but it got snapped up pretty quick. The search continues…
  7. Looking At A Used SmartCap

    Good call…. How about ā€œLooking at a used SmartCapā€
  8. Looking At A Used SmartCap

    I’ve been wanting a SmartCap for a while now, seems to best fit our needs (secure storage and ability to carry a RTT now and then). In an attempt to save a few nickels, I’ve been watching the used market. For those of you with SmartCaps, just wondering what sorts of things I should be looking...
  9. Tailgate Seat

    On our first road trip after buying the truck, I repurposed the long seat cushion from our patio sofa - outdoor fabric and it was almost a perfect match for the tailgate, both length and width. Needed a place for both my wife and I to sit after all.
  10. And I got a check engine light now

    Add me to the list too - my 2019 XLT just passed 83,000 km (so just over 51,000 miles). It’s sitting at the dealer right now, waiting for the magic part. Looks like I at least might be ahead of the curve on mileage.
  11. Android Auto and other forms of Mental Anguish..

    I don’t know if AA is any different, but with CarPlay hitting the Home button on the steering wheel switches back to Sync.
  12. What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

    Clearview mirrors just arrived! Likely going to sit for a bit until it warms up, but the trailer isn’t going anywhere until spring either. Can’t wait to see them on the truck though.
  13. Audi Concept!

    The AR strikes me as something that would be cool in the showroom, but would age like milk once you get the car home. Maybe I’m just having flashbacks to the fights I used to have with first gen Sync in my 2011 Edge, just trying to get her to turn up the heat….
  14. How long did your original battery last?

    I still have the original battery in my 2019, bought new in February 2020. The last spell of -30 whether we had I got the ā€œFeatures have been disabledā€œ message through FordPass, but the truck had been sitting about a week at that point too. Been thinking about a battery maintainer, but I also...
  15. Battery failing?

    I had almost the exact same thing happen, ironically enough on my test drive…. went to stop leaving the dealer’s lot and ended up jerking forward into the street, good thing nobody was coming. Not a peep from the sales guy in back either. Happened again a few days later, and I found that I was...
  16. Australian Style Flatbed and Canopy Build

    Or they’re wondering what a cassette tape is…
  17. Ford pass Remote start.

    Might depend on the model year, but my 2019 XLT has factory remote start on the fob.
  18. What are you guys towing?

    Was towing this - Aliner Classic. Towed great with the Ranger, but was getting to be a bit tight size-wise for us… Upgraded in August to a Micro Minnie FLX 2108 DS. Perfect size for us, and the truck still handles the extra weight just fine especially with a decent WDH, but definitely takes...
  19. CarPlay navigation question

    You can also hit the ā€œHomeā€ button on the steering wheel (the one that looks like a little house).
  20. 6,000+ mile trip starting tomorrow

    Iā€˜m glad I noticed this thread, I’m pretty sure you passed me on Saturday coming across Saskatchewan. Not every day I come across anything with California plates, let alone another Ranger. Commented to my wife on the nice striping on yours.
