That would only work if you have cell service.

I don't know what they mean - you need to remove the hitch safe if you want to use your hitch, but otherwise it is pretty straight forward. The only issue I had was losing the rubber cover and forgetting to put the slide back in before I left. You can buy replacement parts for it. It takes...

If you have a hitch, this is one option - I've been using mine for over 5 years now - works great: https://www.amazon.com/HitchSafe-HS7000T-HS7000-Key-Vault/dp/B000I66JEM

It has a LOT of detail in it. I had never noticed it, but my wife noticed all sorts of hologram detail on it when you tilt the card around - it shows all the county names, the state flag (both sides!), the state name (twice!). As I said, pretty sophisticated - I had to wait about a week for...

I'm guessing you will be getting one of the new "Real ID" cards which are pretty sophisticated - it is the new form of ID you will need in order to fly pretty soon (a regular DL won't work). I got mine last year and they required similar proof of identity. https://www.dhs.gov/real-id

I guess government jobs are different - maybe the benefits are different too. I learned the hard way never to quit on the last day of the month (or year). One place I found out that I was uninsured (unless I invoked COBRA coverage retroactively) for a couple of weeks since my prior job...

Unless you have other options for insurance, you might want to think about moving your date forward a day or two. Most places will pay your benefits thru the end of the month you quit. I found this out the hard way several years ago - one reason my retirement date is tentatively on the 2nd of...

When we installed our metal roof 20 years ago, it was recommended to me to put 30# roofing felt under it to quiet it down. It can be a little loud in a very heavy rain, but I don't think it is much worse than our old comp roof was.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing it? Sometimes the app cache gets messed up and that will fix it.

You'd never survive in the PNW - We have WEEKS of nothing but gray skies and drizzle in the winter.....

I'd argue it is BETTER than an OEM quality accessory. I kind of doubt the OEM (Ford) would put as much thought and attention into a dipstick as Mike has. I love the "6 star" comment - it is totally true. The quality and attention to detail shows in everything he has done.

Good to know! Thanks for the input.

I think it is the "small movements are soon amplified in the trailer's movements" that usually gets me.... It is weird, I've backed up trailers almost PERFECTLY - and then 10 minutes later you'd think I had never done it before - I just suck at it. A few years ago I had to back a trailer up a...

I'm on Android - other than the error of it being flagged as running and the fact I can't add service receipts thru the app any longer - otherwise it is working OK for me. It still seems like a pretty stupid "upgrade" to me - minor UI changes and removal of some useful features.

Wow - I didn't realize there were THREE tow package levels - I thought there were only two. Looks like the basic package gives you the receiver hitch and wiring, the advanced adds the TBC and some backup assist and the advanced is more backup assist along with a bunch of other technology...

@AzScorpion - if it makes you feel any better, mine shows my history but it also shows it is currently On - with an option to turn on the vehicle -that makes total sense:

My understanding is that the 6G with the tow package included an integrated brake controller. They also have two levels of tow packages - the upper tier includes stuff like the backup assist feature.

Do you keep your sports car on a trickle charger? I keep my 73 Capri on a trickle charger/battery maintainer all the time and that battery is over 10 years old - still going strong. I don't drive it a ton (500 miles a year or so).

I had my 5 year Rangerversary back in May - I can't believe I've had the truck for 5 years now! The more I see the new versions (including the price), the more I want to keep mine. Its been trouble free for me - currently just shy of 47k on the clock. We just got back from a trip with the...

Ditto here. I haven't had to flash back to the tow tune in quite some time but if the need arises itninly takes a couple of minutes.
