  1. MPG tricks

    The sweet spot for me seems to be 65 mph, where I'll get up to 26 mpg. Not much ethanol in the gas around here.
  2. I Want One of These!!

    Bet that voids the damper warranty.
  3. Towing Trip Report - Honest Review

    I'd love to replace the convertible rear couch with theater seats, but the heater underneath precludes an easy solution for that. Ours is the "Rocky Mountain Edition", which has the sealed and heated bottom, as well as 80 gallons of fresh water, which we typically don't fill to capacity. Max...
  4. Towing Trip Report - Honest Review

    It's a 2020 Jay Flight SLX 245RLSW. I don't think they've made it for a few years. It's nearly identical to the Jay Feather 24RL in layout. The only difference I've seen in the Feather is that the rear camp-side storage compartment on the newer 24RLs is smaller than ours, which is a...
  5. Towing Trip Report - Honest Review

    We tow a Jayco 24RL, just short of 7,000lbs loaded. Power is never an issue, even at high altitudes. Crosswinds can be challenging and we take steep downhill grades with care.
  6. New Tire Reccomendations!

    After 4 years and over 40,000 miles, last year I went with the Continental TerrainContact A/T All Terrain 265/60R18 110T Light Truck Tire. My Ranger is used mostly for towing in the spring into fall and skiing in the winter. I didn't want dedicated snow tires, and the Continentals were well...
  7. Short Term Storage

    Between camping and ski seasons, my '19 Lariat spends a lot of time still. It's not a big deal. Sometimes, the FordPass app will alert me that the remote capabilities are shutting down if it's more than 3 weeks or so. I wouldn't worry about the gas. (If it's not more than E-10, anyway) If...
  8. Where’s your dog?

    The best way to play on a 100 degree day.
  9. Where’s your dog?

    Loves camping.
  10. Buyers remorse? MPG

    You didn't mention exactly what you're towing, but the answer is likely "No". In the past I've towed a lot of boats with minimal impact on MPG. But they followed largely behind the silhouette of the tow vehicle, so the wind impact wasn't major. But if you're towing the typical travel, you're...
  11. Where’s your dog?

    So sorry. For a short time, she knew love.
  12. Where’s your dog?

    After being adopted a year ago, Murphy's training regimen is going well. Having a dog that can follow directions and position the trailer makes the stop at the dump station go all that more efficiently.
  13. small tip when a load is sagging your trucks rear

    I adjust my headlights twice a year; I lower them in the spring when I start towing our travel trailer. (The truck is level with the trailer on) and I raise them back up when we put tne camper up in the fall. Takes all of two minutes.
  14. Where’s your dog?

    First camping trip of the season.
  15. Anyone ever have their infotainment freeze up?

    Happened once the 2nd day after I took delivery in 2019. Display was frozen and remained on even after turning truck off. I wasn't far from my dealer so I took it in. They pulled the battery and reset everything. Never happened again.
  16. Need advice regarding new tires.

    I was recently faced with this dilemma replacing the original Hankooks on my '19 Lariat with 18" wheels. I mostly use my truck for skiing in the winter and towing our travel trailer in the summer, which are pretty contrary asks of a tire. I do a lot of driving on highways and interstates at 70...
  17. 2023 with Poor FM and virtually no AM Radio

    I've found that AM radio reception in cars manufactured over the last couple of decades or so have been mediocre at best. I've written that off to the extreme filtering required to get rid of all of the noise that now emanates from the vehicle itself. (Which is why the manufacturers want to be...
  18. This truck is getting to me…

    No can do. If I wanted to deal with this level of unreliability and uncertainty, I'd save a boatload and buy something used.
  19. Is there any disadvantage to a SuperCab?

    Not a surprise considering that last year Ford announced that they'd be discontinuing the SuperCab for the F-150 in Lariat trim. Over the last 20 years, Crew Cabs went from being considered work trucks to family haulers and standard and supercabs became the work trucks. The reality is that...
