Car and Driver tested four vehicles’ collision avoidance systems. The article didn’t answer all the questions raised in this discussion but it did help me understand a bit more about the variables involved. Here’s a link to the article...

Thanks for the quick reply @Pioneer74 ! I was all excited to learn that my Ranger had moved from the factory. Then I looked up Riverdale, IL on Google Maps satellite view and saw not one, but two huge rail yards with siding after siding of stationary rail cars. If patience is a virtue, I must...

@Pioneer74 would you please let me know where my truck is as it wends it’s way to Phoenix? The blend date was a week ago yesterday. The VIN is 1FTER1EH0KLA79722 Thank you so much.

Thanks for the quick reply @THLONE I’m kinda new to towing. I keep looking in the mirror to make sure the pop up camper is still there. I was more concerned about the impact of the message light on oil change intervals and shift point. I think I recall reading that the transmission shifts...

Has anyone experienced a problem with getting a “Trailer Attached” message after installing a topper? There seems to be a lot of confusion in the “Towing” section about how the truck determines a trailer is attached. Before I install a topper I want to be sure that wiring in the cab high...

Thanks for the info @Pioneer74. The sooner the quicker!

My Ranger (1FTER1EH0KLA79722) was built on Monday and is now scheduled to be delivered to the Phoenix,AZ dealer on 8/9. I already canceled two weeks of vacation. I’m hoping to get it in time to get the required 1K miles on it before I can tow the camper for the rest of the vacation. The camper...

The issue isn’t specific to any models SD. Drop down options from the “What Fits My Truck” page include Super Cab but don’t include a 6’ bed. Perhaps you’re right that they are only making 5’ models.

I just ordered an ARE V series. I was a bit put off by the Leer website. When I input the Supercab option it decided I had a 58” bed. A 72.8” bed wasn’t an option. I went to the Leer “contact us” page and found that they required field after field of information about me. I decided it wasn’t...

@rangerdanger My Ranger tracking status just changed to “in production “ and I just got a window sticker. The blend date is now 7/15/19 but the posted delivery date is still 9/1/19.

I am planning to take the Draw-Tite I Command 5535 proportional controller out of my current truck and install it in my Ranger (if Ford ever gets around to building it). I contacted the vendor I bought it from and asked if, given the Ford TSB, it was compatible. They replied “Brake controllers...

Thanks for keeping this list RD. It takes loneliness out of the equation and helps in setting reasonable expectations. My VIN is 79722. Scheduled delivery date is 9/1/19. DrummerDave.

What is the blend date? With so many of us in the dark shouldn’t it be more like a “blind” date?

I believe I posted my order date (5/24/19) in an earlier post. What’s the best way to keep you in the loop @rangerdanger?

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I suspected it was mere impatience on my part. Dave

I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance on order tracking. I ordered my Ranger on 5/24/19. I have had a VIN (79722) for a couple of weeks now. Others are talking about being able to see window stickers and build dates but all I can seem to get out of the Ford tracking site is that my truck...
