  1. Mexican? Ranger with Texas plates in 2016

    What's with all the nagging on this guy's parking? It was an extra large space (don't know what the signage says) but he left plenty of room on the drivers side to the white line. There is no rule you have to be perfectly centered. And so what about the dirt. Maybe be he just pulled in from...
  2. Silly and/or useful hacks

    I live at the end of a cul-de-sac. I use the camera delay do confirm my garage door is closing as I drive away after driving away from leaving the house.
  3. Issues with Easy-Fuel filler in California

    This is the first vehicle I have had with the 'capless' system and I have not experienced any problem. Or course I have almost exclusively filled up at only station so my variety of pump nozzles is limited. I am in north Orange County, Kalifornikstan (I plagarized the state from another member).
  4. Hankook Dynapro ATM discontinued?

    I am of a similar mind. My '02 Sport Trac came with Michelin's and had great experience. Of the three replacement sets I had over the life I had the Trac for, 1 was a Toyo set I thought I would try and ended up being unhappy with. All the rest were Michelin's and gave great performance. I will...
  5. What is the hardest thing for you to do or not do with your new Ranger?

    Technically, aren't Turbochargers in fact Superchargers? The only real difference being how they are 'driven'? Turbo's are driven by the exhaust and the Superchargers are driven by the crank by some method (usually belts).
  6. Remote features disabled for battery optimization ford

    Do you leave anything plugged into your ODB-II port? I had for a while and found it was drawing current when the truck was off and received some of those messages. Even encountered a couple of dead battery situations before realizing my device was causing it.
  7. Center console knee pad?

    Edit: Never mind, I should have known...Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D6G5KRM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_GGSwFbV3RNBF9 Did anyone else notice that the picture on that link is a reversed image? Must have been taken in a right-hand drive vehicle and reversed for us left-handed drive countries. lol
  8. Center console knee pad?

    I run into that problem in many vehicles, but in my case, it is where my shin rests against the console start aching really badly if I have to drive for many hours. I had a rental Avalon for a week one time that I couldn't wait to turn in as it was causing so much pain. Other than that, the car...
  9. Is it a mistake to not take the 4WD option?

    You'd think, right? But that is just common sense logic. Insurance companies use bottom line $ logic.. If you have 4x4, you 'might' take it off road and break something that they might have to cover under their policy so that want to raise the premiums.
  10. Is it a mistake to not take the 4WD option?

    It’s not just the extra $4K at purchase. The insurance takes a hit with every policy. The insurance will always assume a higher risk of off-roading even if you never intend to ever do any.
  11. I just noticed this today

    No, it is just the British with their propensity to add unneeded letters to words to confuse others and make themselves believe in their own superiority. You know, those delusions of grandeur. lol
  12. The Latest K0ol Thing!

    I am enjoying the hell out of this thread. Keep it up. LOL
  13. Dashboard Layouts

    I have always preferred the digital speed display as it allows instant knowledge of what your speed is without having to ‘interpret’ what the analog dial is telling you. unfortunately, with my Lariat dash, the digital speedo display uses the same display side as the Tach display. With the speed...
  14. I just noticed this today

    Unless you are from the UK and then it would be 5 because of the extra ‘I’.
  15. Head rest fix

    You do know that you can edit your own entries to correct typos and other errors, don't you?
  16. I just noticed this today

    Next we get to start complaining about spelling? Like color vs colour? This could get to be pretty funny. lol
  17. Pet Peeves

    Oh, you mean those signals to the driver in the next lane to hurry up and close the gap so you can no longer fit into that space you wanted?
  18. Poll - Is the tailgate damper the new "Rick Roll" ?

    I don't understand why everyone seem so adamant that the damper is not needed. Of course it is lighter than a steel one. Of course I am strong enough to lower it myself without straining anything. So what? The main reason I got one was because invariably, when I wanted to lower the tailgate, my...
  19. Poll: When shutting off your Ranger do you:

    It used to be (many years ago), and I don't know if it still is but it sure should be: When you turned the key to START, the switch disconnected the accessories to alleviate the surge exposure. Now I don't know how that would be handled with the 'Push to start' systems but there is no reason...
  20. Poll: When shutting off your Ranger do you:

    It depends on where I am. If at home in the garage, I open the front door windows and just shut it down. I leave everything as is including the dash cam plugged into the USB port for power as it will power down in a minute or so. If away from home I may crack the windows a tiny bit to relieve...
