Absolutely agree. Wait until those folks "happily towing trailers with a regular redarc TBC" have an accident and those lawyers get involved.

The guys on Rennlist (Porsche) have been screwing around with wireless Carplay dongles for months. Very sporadic results and a lot of unhappy campers. The dongle has to be updated every time Apple farts. Colossal PITA.

Ahhh...yes. That little detail. I still contend that at least half of it was an 'Oh sh*t!' moment ?

We can argue this until the cows come home, but the reality is that Ford screwed up. The integrated TBC should have been an option available with the trailer package; i.e., you need the trailer package to add it, but don't need the TBC to tow a trailer (surge brakes, <6K#, etc.). The...

That is NOT in the Ford 'authorized' version. That manual does mention 'test light', but doesn't say a thing beyond using it in the set up and calibration table. The test light is described in the Redarc manual, but apparently they forgot to include it with the Ford retrofit documentation...

Could not agree more. I have been 'with this' issue since I bought my Ranger last year and the cluelessness of the Ford dealerships about the TBC boggles the mind. You are clearly on your own.

Getting one of these might instill confidence.

That is how it is supposed to work, but this is complex electronics here. My point was that the Ford mechanics didn't 'reprogram' it, as far as I can tell there is no way to do that, but just forced recalibration.

See attached.

They most likely did not reprogram it, but re-calibrated. The intructions are in the manual.

I stated this myslef a few months ago, but in a different way. Ford charged Lumen with producing an installation that would not disturb the main fuse block in any way and use inline plugs (read: no soldering or cutting wires). So, they went all the way back to the CHMSL. By doing this, all of...

OK, do you have the tow package? This would be the hitch receiver along with the trailer electrical connectors in the bumper. If not, then no, you won't have the wires. If you have the package, hie to your nearest Ford dealership and ask them to show you the wires. If the wires aren't there...

FINALLY ready for the beach: • Genuine Ford Floor Liner - Black, 4-Piece Set, For Super Cab (with 'Ranger' markings) • Genuine Ford Sunscreen (with 'Ranger' label) • Rapid Air Down Tire Deflator Offroad Kit • FieryRed Traction Boards - Mat Recovery system for Sand Mud Snow • 20# CO2 tank with...

Installed it months ago. The biggest issue was wifey ("Your going to tear into your new truck?! Are you out of your mind?!). I waited until she went shopping, that gave me a solid four hours to complete it. The wires under the dash are not easy to find, keep looking, they are there. Headliner...

It does some sort of alignment after power-up even without the trailer, that's why I think it lights when you press it after the install. It shouldn't need a trailer to show that it is alive and has power.

When I press the button it 'breathes' blue, then goes out. It won't stay on until a trailer is hooked up, but it does light up.

Do they just pop off?

Finally got the 'missing' tie-downs installed in the bed. Dealer sent them to me months ago. Damn COVID!

I called the dealer, it only affects Ranger's with the PB key--wusses.

Does the year pass go from the day you buy it to the same day a year later? At Freeman it is $200 and ends in January regardless of when you purchase it. This sounds like a better deal.
