  1. Possible brake issue

    Ya, a few people have noticed: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/brakes-feel-mushy.2124/ Just have to make your peace with the inconsistency. Thank all the safety systems I guess.
  2. Ranger Wildtrack VS Ranger Raptor

    Wildtraks, are very nice, but if you really like the floaty suspension and cushy seats of the Lariat you wouldn't like the Wildtrak that is tighter in all aspects. My neighbor had one with the 3.2 diesel and man it was nice. If the wife and I move back to Asia, hopefully I can find a good used...
  3. Disable fake engine noise

    Not sure. I suppose I should do a test and see if I can hear the sound with Android Auto connected (and listening to stuff through AA) and listening to the Radio with nothing connected. It sure was obvious in that video. @Jerry Caldwell had an XLT loaner, but not sure if it had a Sync-3 or Sync...
  4. Disable fake engine noise

    It's at least in the Lariat. It is mentioned and you can hear it in the video above. I was worried about it but I have yet to hear it. Not sure if Android Auto disables tbe sound or not but its definitely a non issue thus far the few times I have got on the gas.
  5. Uncomfortable seats

    Well, went and got the seat foam modified. They put a strongmaterial backing over the springs then also created a wedge of foam layers to put over the top foam. It actually is a bit too much support especially with that stiff leatherette but I feel it is loosening up a bit. The good news is my...
  6. Regular or Premium Fuel?

    "Bottom line..... Buy your gas from who ever is selling it for the cheapest price. IT IS ALL THE SAME FUEL" You dont get to have it both ways. The fuel that comes out of the dispenser is different depending on where you get it based on the additive mix. You, Floyd, the article I linked to...

  8. Can Navigation be added on?

    Ah, got it. I get CRS too sometimes. :-)
  9. Can Navigation be added on?

    Your Lariat comes/will come with Sync-3. All I have in my Lariat is the 500a. I have one wire to my phone and rolled most of it up leaving about 12 inches. With the phone laying in the front bottom tray, the one USB wire does not interfere. Can't really even tell it's there. Plugged in it it...
  10. Can Navigation be added on?

    Do you really hate Apple Car play? I love my Android Auto, but you have a real advantage with Apple Car Play. You can download and use Sygic with Apple Car Play which gives you offline maps and editable routes. I'd take that over the stock Navigation any day. In fact, were I on the mainland and...
  11. Useless search function

    No problem. Learned that trick a few years ago and even with sites that have a decent search function, they don't return results as good as using google with the "site" parameter.
  12. ODBII Auto Start/Stop Eliminator - $129

    THIS! is very annoying. I do get into stop and go traffic, but it seems erratic with how it decides to shut off but it is very consistent in shutting off when I don't want it to when I'm pulling in to my tight garage. With an open-mind, I've never felt that the extra hardware/technology has...
  13. How much effort to close your hood?

    Going to disagree. If that's what it was then moving the latch up just 1/8" wouldn't make things significanlty easier. Besides, once down in the pre-lock position, the strongarms have no influence since the hood is pretty much closed. There's room for adjustment for a reason and it looks like...
  14. How much effort to close your hood?

    Thanks. Love it when people don't take no for an answer. Gave me the perfect excuse to go by some tools although all you need is a 5/16 socket, ratchet, and a common screwdrivet. As you said, move up 1/8 to 1/4...think I moved the latch up maybe 3/16.. Closes exactly as all my other cars. I...
  15. Useless search function

    I have mentioned this before but site search functions are typically pretty bad. In google Try: "your search terms" site:ranger5g.com With or without quotes depending on how you want to search. Works great.
  16. SOLVED: Android Auto Keeps Disconnecting

    Here are my AA settings. Haven't had any further issues. My Sync-3 system is also up to date.
  17. Uncomfortable seats

    Thanks @Fordstanger. I think I'll do a full solution at an upholstery shop. Cover up the springs, firmer seat foam and might take out that back wedge that continues around from the side bolsters. Speaking of bolsters, might see if he can increase the bolstering slightly without major changes.
  18. SOLVED: Android Auto Keeps Disconnecting

    I was having the disconnect problem and basically, I got in and made sure that Android Auto didn't activate *on the phone* at all. After I did that, I haven't had the problem at all. If any of you have AA setup to activate on the phone as well (seems to be the default), give that a try and see...
  19. Engine shutter.

    Ya, I figured that when I saw it hit 2nd on a harder acceleration run. I do feel that slight..shuddery pause as it skips over 2nd. That's the only gear it seems to skip. Seems like it would be smoother just to hit 2nd then 3rd. I'm ok with it, but I did notice it when I wasn't necessarily on the...
  20. Mike's Ranger experience

    Lol. Picky? Sure, whatever. Actually, if you have been reading the forums since folks have been receiving their Rangers you would realize I was sort of comparing how my Ranger was delivered to those other Rangers. Point of reference for others. On the contrary, I would say that overall I am...
