Sorry. I wasn't clear. What I meant was the device (phone, etc) needs to be connected to the internet, but the truck does not, as long as you've set up ford pass with your vehicle already. Thanks for clarifying.
So far I've been able to start the truck with fordpass with or without an active wifi connection. I believe it sends the command to start (or lock/unlock) either by satellite or thru a wireless cell tower. So it might not work if you or the truck are very remote and out of range of cell services.
Hey thanks, I forgot to mention. The tailgate contacts the top of frame when lowered. The plastic bumper has enough give to kind of move out of the way. The screws don't make contact.
I bought smoke bubble shields for my plates and just drilled the plastic bumper out (rear) so I could use all 4 stainless fasteners for the shield. Use a slightly smaller drill bit than the diameter of the screws you are using.
If you have front plates and you're doing this operation I would...
I noticed this phenomenon where I live even in the past with the old gen rangers. If you drive a ranger you're either under 30 or over 60.
My pet theory was that younger and older folks have less disposable income for a full-size pickup, and are less likely to have young kids to tote around...
I'll be in the same boat soon. Though I don't regret buying a tonneau since I needed something to lockup the bed, I realize now what I really want is a cap and roof racks to carry long material, should have realized that sooner.
As for regrets, I wish I bought the XL rokbloxs instead of regulars.
First blast of winter here in Kingston, sorta. I was hoping we'd get more powder, but the lake is still moderating temperatures near the shore. I think areas north of the 401 are getting more accumulation. I did a few donuts in a (empty) gravel lot and had some lady take pictures of my truck as...
Sucks man believe me I know. Happened to me several years ago with my old ranger. My door was fine but my coworker had a hefty dent in his door. Freaking gust of wind cost me $900.
Curious which headlights you tried. Is it the Mustang style w/ sequential turn signal? I want those real bad but I haven't seen anyone swap them in successfully yet.
Nope! I don't care for the look either. They look goofy as hell.
If you want something very specific to pick on, check out the 2nd row doors. They have a cut away as if they're allowing clearance for a wheel, but the wheel is further back under the bed and nowhere near the doors. They're...
I did this exact thing after about 3 weeks of ownership haha. Oh boy was I pissed. Screamed a four letter expletive loud enough for everyone else pumping gas to hear me. There's about a quarter-sized dent in my driver door panel now ?. I'm hoping it can be pulled out or otherwise repaired...
20 Lariat 501A, mine is illuminated, but it does not actually indicate what position the shifter is in. This bothered me at first, but I've gotten used to looking at the dash instead.
This is me as well. If Ford wasn't offering the Ranger I would have ended up in a competitors vehicle. I was never going to buy a full size truck, personally. At least not at this time.
I'm a simple man, I see James Pumphrey and I press the like button.
Up to speed is a great video series in general on the history of cars and trucks, but the ranger episode is of course near and dear to me as I've owned an 09 and now a 5th gen model.
@P. A. Schilke - are there any images in...
