My thoughts are you may be over thinking this. I live in a marina and thus my truck sits out all the time. I am retired and drive about 2 or 3 times a week mostly short trips but I do work in one trip to get a good charge. My battery was replaced under warranty in 2020. The worst thing I have...

For future reference I went to Ace Hardware and bought studs and cover nuts to mount mine.

Another 2019 XLT that had a battery replaced first visit to Fast Lane. Other than that no Issues 28K. I would buy again.

I assume you are talking about the passenger not secure warning. I would try connecting the seatbelt and see if it stops.

i'm not familiar with a 2017 ranger but I previously had a Sport Trac and had the steering wheel modules go bad. I found the modules on Amazon and changed them. Was not that hard to do.

For future reference I would go to the tire repair place before I would pull it out. Stress relief.

Adavtive cruise control could be a issue. I believe the 2019 Lariat had this option your XLT may not have. You would know.

Usually when I get the battery saver warning in the display because I have made a lot of short trips. I just check the Alternator output to make sure it is charging correctly and I don't have an alternator issue.

Whenever I get a message affecting the battery/charging system I check the alternator output with the system reader app (DashOBD) I installed into Android Auto. Get the readout on the screen. it requires an OBD device to be installed.

My 2019 with 27,000 miles has been mostly trouble free. They replaced the battery at my first oil change under warranty. I declined the tail light recall fix because though I had no problem with the connector they told me they had to replace it anyway. I just replied, if it ain't broke, don't...

I agree I use the MA1 wireless device too and 99% of the time have a seamless connection and all is well.

I don't believe this is actually about electric vehicles. Like everytihing else they are doing recently it is about control. Control your ability to move around as you wish. Flip a switch and your ev is useless. Besides that owners are finding they are not really what they seem. Useless on long...

I think too many missed this line in his comments, "It feels nice to help people out." Some people gain pleasure from helping others. I say keep the truck if you can.

I've always have my ranger service by my dealer. If I wanted a different rotation pattern I gave them a copy of that pattern and requested that they use that pattern. No issues.

What is you milage?

You can use the DashOBD app. It is not nearly as good but does provide some basic info. I use it primarily to ck battery voltage and charging output.

I can't guarantee anything but look at #34 in passenger fuse box.

I decided to find out. I use the Motorola M1 wireless adapter. I powered up the truck the M1 power light was on and I Let the M1 complete the connection to Android Auto. I removed the key exited the vehicle and locked the door. I timed the power light on the M1. I stayed on approx 10 seconds...

The other good thing about Stop/Start is it will let you know if your battery is not charged up. It will not function. I just went about a month before my started working again because I was mostly taking short trips. AGM batteries are bad juju in my opinion. They are very voltage sensitive and...

Nice idea for those who could use it. I prefer to use my wireless adapter and I can put my phone anywhere, even leave it in my pocket, if I choose to.
