Here’s my setup…xtrusion xtr1 with Yakima Fatcat 6 Evo ski racks. Hard fold Gator tonneau. Haven’t fully tested it all out…need snow to do that :) The tonneau doesn’t open very much…but in fact I don’t want it to. The idea is to raise up the back third and hook it open. Then slide in/out a bin...

Almost every fill up for me is an adventure. The gas shuts off too soon, or the nozzle slips out (then shuts off). Have to slow feed the gas; fingers often end up smelling of gas. Haven’t filled out of state yet for comparison.

Ah got it. So no split on the SCREW back seat? That IS a bad idea.

The seat pads over the storage are one for each side, so hopefully you’d only have to remove at most one car seat to get the jack and wrench.

Yep - got the recall notice in FordPass yesterday as well. Any SCREW owners get the recall, or is it just for SCABS?

Well…I ran this procedure yesterday…honestly not convinced it amounted to a big deal of a change, but perhaps I need a bit more driving (and braking) to get a better feel for it. That said, easy to do and, yes, when it first starts up the noise will make you jump :)

I just ordered a Xtrusion Overland bed rack. I decided that I’m going to modify the brackets (cut off the vertical section that would normally be used for clamps), and then drill some holes through the brackets and the bed rail/cap and bolt it on. On the plus side it’ll be very securely...

Awesome - I already added the TM button, so this looks like more of the same :)

Thanks - I am curious about that console switch. I took at a look at the part via your link, but can’t exactly tell where it goes (where is the blank likely to be)? Is it in the steering wheel, or is it near the shifter where the autostop/start button is, or somewhere else?

I too experience something like this, but I hadn’t got as far as determining if it was particular to 4th to 3rd. But definitely a thing that I observe. And I share your concern…most of the time that i use engine-braking is coming down the west side of the Sierra in the snow.

Thanks - that’s a thread I couldn’t find. To add more color…the tires I have on my truck right now don’t have TPMS (but don’t worry, I have a pump and a good old fashioned pressure gauge) so the truck won’t relearn anything from those wheels. I am just trying to not have the FordPass app bounce...

Ha - I wasn’t aware of that tool…interesting, but not sure I’ll go that route.

I dare say this has been answered, but my searching skills are coming up short… I have spare wheels in my garage with TPMS, and the tire pressure for those wheels is being reported. Is there a way for my vehicles TPMS to forget or ‘unlearn’ those sensors?

No big issues with the wheel size change, but potential for issues with tire size change. I changed the other way from 17” to 18”, both with factory tires. In this case my speedometer may end up being off by 1 or 2 mph, but nothing substantive. Tire size change is a whole different deal and...

Looks like a great rack. Are those the wider tonneau-compatible mount brackets? Do you think it would work to cut off the vertical section of that mounting bracket (that goes down and under the tonneau rail) and then drill and bolt the remaining flat section of the mounting bracket to the Ranger...

Here you go - a side by side. Definitely a 60 degree cone, but shorter, and no wider flange or lip. Whaddya all think - do they look ok to use?

I just sold an Outback to Vroom. Good price, easy process, no hassles. They listed it 2 days later with a 10% markup over what they gave me. I’m good with that.

Thanks for the thread link. Yep, concerned about grime and salt getting under them, particularly given the abuse they’ll get on winter trips. I may go for the non-slip gorilla tape option discussed in another thread.

I’ve been trawling through the Ford accessories catalog for ways to spend my FordPass points. These door sill protectors caught my attention, part number, VKB3Z-1613208-A. https://accessories.ford.com/plate-door-scuff-12379.html I’m guessing these may be stock on a Lariat? Anyone installed...

I just opted for these: https://amazon.com/DPAccessories-LCB3B6HE-BK04024-Black-12x1-5-Closed/dp/B00JNEBL66 …hopefully they’re the correct size and style.
