  1. 2024 Ford Ranger Will Debut North American Variant Of All-New Midsize Pickup

    I want a truck. Bed length is more important to me than cab size. I’d prefer a regular cab and 8’ bed. Crew cab means I’d look at other options too.
  2. Tuner to monitor temps boost etc.

    Not a tuner, but Scanguage. I like it.
  3. 4G/LTE Hotspot question

    Ford Pass is a bit buggy at times, but the hotspot activation is not required to use it. My doors wouldn’t unlock today and I had to use the fob.
  4. Alcan Highway Roadtrip

    Never had the Ranger to Alaska. The AlCan, Cassiar, Haul road, Inside Passage and trips to Tuk, Yellowknife, and Dawson are all great. I have been many times in my ā€˜98 C2500 which I bought new in Anchorage. Telegraph Creek would be a stretch to me with any decent sized trailer.
  5. What are you using for tow mirrors?

    Used CIPA / McKesh with blind spots for several thousand miles with neoprene seat belt covers on the strap. Bought the ClearView when they became available. Both of these allow great visibility. I’ve never seen any clip on I like. I hate them all, although many swear by them. Don’t have...
  6. Time to bug ya'll again. Brake controller.

    I love the P3 and still use it in my C2500. For the Ranger I bought the Ford branded Redarc. I prefer the P3, but wanted the Ford because it ties into the AEB.
  7. Investing And Building Wealth

    I don’t qualify for social security, but I saved, and am okay with that. Make sure you have good insurance, or a lot of money to self insure because at one or often more times, you will need it.
  8. Investing And Building Wealth

    1. Learn to live on a maximum of 80% of your net pay no matter how small that amount is. 2. Always save at least 10% because life will happen. 3. Always give at least 10% away. There are always good things you can do. 4. Never go in debt. Just flat out don’t borrow money. It cost too much...
  9. Telescopes?

    I like looking at stuff. I don’t take my astronomy too seriously, but have been looking at stuff my whole life. I have a Skywatcher F/5 achromat, a Meade ETX RA 90, an Orion 10ā€ inteliscope, and a Celestron C14. This stuff is from the early mid 90’s except the Orion is from the 2000’s. I have a...
  10. Biggest Travel Trailer?

    40’ 5th wheels, but not with the Ranger! My travel trailer is not large. I have towed a 7K dump trailer, but it does not have the windage of most travel trailers and has monster brakes that can stop the Ranger when needed. I also don’t tow it more than 60 miles or so.
  11. You have 0 km to empty

    My 2016 Corolla is empty when it says empty. My 1998 Chevy 2500 runs just fine on the wrong side of empty. My 2021 Ranger, I don’t know yet. When we take long trips towing, I carry 5 gallons in the back for the generator and just in case.
  12. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    A 1995 Lance is not one of the newer lightweight models, nor is it one since Lance was sold. There are pros and cons to that, but the issues you listed were mostly supplier issues, not parts Lance built.
  13. These might be the 2023 Ranger colors

    When I ordered mine, Cyber Orange was not an XL or XLT choice and I didn’t want anything with more stuff than a basic XLT.
  14. These might be the 2023 Ranger colors

    I’ve always wanted a bright yellow pickup like the ā€˜70’s - 80’s color, but I’m sure it will never happen. My ā€˜98 C2500 is green and my ā€˜21 Ranger is white.
  15. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    Unfortunately, since Lance sold, they are no longer the same quality.
  16. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    For small, light, non molded fiberglas - conventional styled trailers - Lance and Winnebago are very similar in construction, but The Winnie Micro Minnie series is cheaper and has fewer reported problems. ORV / Arctic Fox are the best built conventional RV trailers, but are mostly too heavy...
  17. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    Yep. Thor and Forest River have almost all of the market. I personally wouldn’t buy one their products.
  18. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    They are nice, but we didn’t like the layouts, small fudges, narrow beds, small table etc. I’ve never seen any of the 6’8ā€ wide trailers that work for me. The 7-7 1/2’ wide ones do work for me. You wouldn’t think 4ā€ would be a big deal, but it does a lot for livability.
  19. “Pathetic quality”: RV dealers are fed up with what manufacturers are producing

    Been RVing my whole life. Parents started with a used 13’ Scout in ā€˜69 when I was 6. They were teachers; we traveled every summer. Have been over North America multiple times. Can buy any RV I want. Have had nice expensive Bigfoots and cheap Forest Rivers. Not perfect, but quality for the...
  20. prayers and positive thoughts needed

    Mark I am still praying and will be until your mom is healed or we reach the end. Look how even in this sickness, your mom has helped pull this community around in such a positive way. I hope you and your family can continue to find good in the middle of such pain. Sounds like you are doing...
