I am aware of the new "clear" ceramic tints folks are putting on their windshields. It is better in that it does not black out the view for law enforcement, etc. I have read mixed reviews on how this tint impacts night vision though for the driver. Some have done this and hate it due to...

I had my front doors tinted to match the factory rears. 20%. It is technically too dark, but... it looks great and definitely makes a huge difference to the interior of the truck. I did the same thing on my wife's Explorer Limited. The huge difference is using a metallic based tint instead of...

Thanks for that response. That makes sense actually and would explain why I can hear the sound even if truck is not running. I may look at this Friday afternoon.

Has this been resolved? I am having the exact same sound on my '19 Lariat. It just started happening within the last few weeks. I have even heard it with the engine off, so I am certain it is not a pulley types of issue. It definitely seems to be related to physical movement of the truck, at...

If you reach up just a little bit there is a bracket that the duct is mounted to. You can ever so slightly bend that bracket and resolved the issue. I was having the same problem as well...

Michelin makes some really good tires. However, we just dumped the Michelin Primacy tires on our Explorer Limited for Dueler Ultra's. Major, major improvement in every way. The Primacy tires, @ 50k, were done... and we maintain like crazy.

75k on my '19 Lariat and going strong.

It seems you drive mostly highway. I do as well. On my '19 Lariat 4x4 I am running Bridgestone Dueler Alenza HL's. They ride great, are quiet, handle in rain very well, and even work well in snow as I have experienced in the East TN mountains. I do some lite off-roading on our farm, and have...

Thanks for that suggestion, but I had the reflash done last year. I have 73k miles now, so long out of Ford warranty. I do have an extended warranty, so if transmission goes I am covered. When I replaced this sensor 2 years ago I had the exact same symptoms, bucking at low speed and rpm in...

Thanks for this write-up! I did this about 2 years ago but had forgotten that they key is to remove the top tube first. Also, I bought an angled spring clip tool which helped tremendously! Why in the world this sensor goes bad this frequently is beyond me to understand. Our '21 Explorer Limited...

'19 Lariat 4x4, 72k

A final follow-up. I have been out and about this afternoon running some errands with my wife. Happy wife, happy life. :) Anyway, to the point, the remaining wind whistle I was hearing is gone. The deformity on mine was in the upper corner of the front door where it meets the rear door. The...

Update. Yes, that arm has to be loosened to do this replacement. However, replacing the weatherstrip is very easy. The only challenge I had was tightening the screw for the arm back down. I actually partially stripped the head, so with a little creative hammering of my bit into the head of the...

I need to replace my on door front door weather strip. I purchased it from Benny, but I need a little guidance from someone that has done this. Any suggestions? Again, this is the one that mounts on the door. My only real question is, do I need to disconnect that arm that has the position...

This transmission is also used in numerous GM vehicles. Are they also having these issues? My Ranger has never shifted well from 3-4-5 when cold, even after the software update. I am @70k miles now.

I am running Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra on mine. My truck is a '19 Lariat 4x4, but I rarely do any serious "off road" activity in it. But I will say they are very good in snow/ice conditions. My driveway is very steep, but if I lock it in low it will gently go down my driveway without a slip...

If you add a tailgate seal kit it will take care of just about all of the dust. Added one to mine and am truly surprised at how well it works.

Rumor has it that if you add a tailgate damper it will double fuel mileage.. :) But on a serious note, the tonneau cover made no difference for me either.

I think most of us have seen this. It is because Ford set the max charge of the battery way too low. Using Forscan I upped mine to 90% and since then have never seen this again, even after the truck sat at home unused during a 2 week vacation. Another advantage I have seen since increasing the...

So sorry Rob. Prayers for you and your daughters. Not quite the same, but my step-mom and a grandmother both died in the same week back in June. Both were somewhat expected, but still... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! This is a great forum for many different reasons.
