First off, I am a Ford guy through and through. However, before I bought my '19 Ranger I did at least sit in all mid-size trucks at the North American Auto Show. The Taco was my only other vehicle I was giving thought about. Two things made my decision easy. First one is, the drivers seat sits...

My '19 Lariat 4x4 has been a very solid truck. Have I had a few minor issues? Of course. But not a single failure of any component with 67k and counting on the odometer. Like must of us, the 3-4-5 shift pattern, especially under lite throttle, is not perfectly smooth, but after having the PCM...

The most helpful solution is use Forscan and change the ridiculously low battery charge setting. Ford set it at 75% of capacity. Way too low. Changed mine to 90%. I never see the shut down warnings anymore, even after the truck sat 10 days while we were on vacation. Also, my fuel mileage has...

You may be better off to log into the Ford owner site and download the Sync update to a USB this time. It sounds like your last update must have left off something which is why the search function is not working. Also, you have to be connected to a Wifi network, but I assume you knew that. :)

I do think your battery is probably done. But, there is another issue going on. Ford set the max battery charge level @75%, which means our batteries are way below the charge they need. I reset mine, using Forscan, to 90% and I never see the shutdown screens, etc.. anymore. And, ironically, my...

It means you are seeing the effects of a battery and charging system that is set to too low of a charging state by the factory. I used Forscan to reset mine to 90% of potential charge and I have never seen that message again... Factory setting is 75%, way too low.

I had a complete service done, so flush and filter included. I had several things done at this visit, but I believe it was around $350. Our transmission holds 12 quarts of fluid btw. To me this service is money well spent.

I just had mine done on my '19. I have 62k on mine. I also had the transfer case service done. Yes, I used my dealer. I have noticed a positive since the transmission service was done. My 3-4-5 shift is much smoother now. I had dealer reflash the PCM last year per a TSB, which helped with...

Wow, you guys don't drive much! I have 62k on my 2019. :)

Interest rates are high currently, and getting worse. My wife and I, with an 800+ credit score, got a rate of 6.75% for 60 months on our nearly new 2021 Explorer Limited we bought last month. But, interest is not all of the picture. We bought our Explorer, fully loaded 4x4, 28k miles, for $15k...

I am in TN. It is true that the font doors are only supposed to be 35%, but I had the shop I used match the rear windows, so I have 20% all around. I absolutley love it! Night vision is good, but daytime driving is so much less tiring now. I had an older Ranger a few years ago with limo 5% tint...

I would suggest purchasing a tailgate seal kit. You will need this anyway to keep road spray from making its way in the bed around the adges of teh tailgate. There will be extra sealing material that you can use to fill in the gaps at the bulkhead. I had to do the same.

The first thing I disabled was the auto wipe. Why? Because what I was noticing was on the light rain type of day the auto wipe would bring the wipers up, wipe a time or two, and then park them, never turning my headlamps on. I prefer using the auto lamp feature all the time, so I am willing and...

In addition to my Ranger I have a 2009 Sport Trac. Replacing the 3rd brake light on the 'Trac is almost as routine as oil changes now. lol! Not quite the same design, but similar circumstance.

I have a Lariat with the very good LED's. My son-in-law has an XLT. One of the reasons the light is so bad with the factory halogens is that they use "Long Life" bulbs in them. Yes, they last longer but light output is terrible. I upgraded the bulbs in his XLT with halogens made by Vosla. I put...

I left my BMS functiniongin, just upped the max charge to 90%. For the ass, I installed an auto stop eliminator that keeps the button setting in memory, so if for some reason I want auto stop to function I can make it. Of course I don't, but the option is there. Our '17 Explorer must have a...

Welcome to the wonderfurl world of Ford setting the max battery charge in the BMS too low, killing our batteries. There are numerous threads on there about this. I upped my battery percentage to 90%, using Forscan, and have had no electrical weirdness since.

Very interesting. I upped mine to 90% and never had any sort of a smell at all. The positives I have seen are no more screen shut downs, no more proximity sensors shutting down, faster screen loading at start-up, and the surprising bonus, my fuel mileage has gone up 1 mpg with no other changes...

It baffles me that many feel there is a need to place a charger on a modern vehicle. Like many have done, I used Forscan to up max charge to 90%. The factory setting of 75% is ridiculous. Since I changed mine I have had zero issues with screens shutting down, proximity sensors not working, and I...

First off, I am a Ford guy, so that was a factor. But honestly I sat in 2 Taco's at an auto show and despite making multiple adjustments to the drivers seat I found it very uncomfrtable. To me, being a taller and larger guy, I found the seat sat too low to the floor of the cab and also the...
