Gotcha, that makes sense. It always kinda worried me, thinking that the axle could potentially move down the leaf, if I hit something like a curb. Guess I don't have to worry about that lol

I think he's asking if your plate could potentially house a USB port itself. Maybe via an extension like this: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32999893139.html (Or similar with USB-C instead of A)

Excuse my ignorance, but can't that be accounted for by moving the axle further back on the leaf? I'm new to this..

Depending what's going on there may be no time for a stage 1 and you're right into stage 2. And as you said yourself, AEB can't guarantee prevention of an impact, so you might end up colliding with something with up to 7500 extra lbs of force that could have at least been partially slowed down...

Not a dig at you, but people like to say that, and I think the reality is that if AEB activates then it's probably already too late to do much. I don't see many people being able figure out how to get their foot to the brake pedal while their body is being thrown at the steering wheel. Another...

Looks awesome. Does your USB cable go into a hole (and then down to the console or 12V?)

In some of the towing threads on here and on some of the trailer forums there are guys who recommended adding air to both the fronts and rears. If you're not using a weight-distributing hitch, then I guess the fronts won't matter as much. My memory tells me that I've seen this recommended by...

Like others said, shocks should help a bit. I replaced my non-FX4 rears with Eibach's and it was an improvement in a bunch of areas. Towing was my main motivator for switching them. I think Ford also recommends adding air to your tires when towing (I don't have a reference for this). Probably...

That's how I always do it In case it helps someone out, here are a bunch of ways to copy and paste an image into a post (how to copy varies depending where you're getting the image from). Copying: If the image is from another website, right click within the image and select 'copy' (it may say...

I've had first-year redesigns 3 times now and I regretted it with the last 2 vehicles (Hyundai & KIA where kinks were worked out and features were added in year 2+), but on my Ranger I'm finding myself happier and happier about not waiting for year 2+. My rear headrests fold. I have proximity...

The brake controller install guide might be helpful as it shows a bunch of the trim being removed to run a wire from under the dash to the CHMSL https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/ford-licensed-tbc-install-instructions.5971/post-100620

Hey now what are you doing sitting at a computer like some nerd when all the real men are outside doing real things? When I was a kid, people spoke about computers the same way you speak of EVs. Times are changing. What seems niche today ends up popular tomorrow. What we aren't capable of today...

Another thread where no one is actually qualified to discuss the topic but everyone has an opinion, anecdote, or second-hand knowledge on it. Not to mention the technology is changing so rapidly that most of the valid information is already irrelevant or obsolete by now, or will be by next...

Yep I was going to say the same thing.

Rather than report the same things back in 2 different threads, I'm going to only report back in this one (first experience with the new trailer already there): https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/what-are-you-guys-towing.1768/post-276291

Picked up the new trailer on Wednesday. It was very windy so it was a good test. Old trailer: Jayco 174BH 3200 lbs from factory 7ft wide 18'~ box / 21' 8" total length New trailer: Jayco 264BH 4900 lbs from factory 8ft wide 25'~ box / 29' 5" total length I have Eibach's in the rear and added...

I haven't noticed that with mine other than right at the edge where there's nothing holding it up but the lip over the window. Maybe a clip or two got pulled further from the edge of yours and just needs to be popped back in? I'll see if I can find the image showing where those are. EDIT: can't...

lolll oops Thread came up as "new" but it must've just been new replies. Ah well

You don't actually NEED to do the FORScan part, but you won't be able to see/confirm what mode you're in without it :D First video is how to put in the switch. Second is an easier way to get to the switch. I have a video showing the full process to disable the artificial engine sound using...

If you want to use the Ford brake controller without running the wire to the back and up into the headliner, someone found a much easier spot you could use (same wire but by the fuse box in the dash). Could look into that...
