FWIW, my off roading over the past 40 years has been limited to driving on the beach. Initially the only vehicles you would see are 4x4 Pickups, Jeeps and full frame SUVs, seldom would you see someone get stuck. With the popularity of car based SUVs/CUVs you see a lot of those out on the beach...

Chrysler is owned by Stellantis. Stellantis owns Fiat, CDJR, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Peugeot, Opel, Lancia, Vauxhall and Abarth. Stellantis is now the fourth largest auto maker behind Toyota, Volkswagen and Nissan/Renault.

My son has a 2020 Ram Rebel and his wife has a 2019 Tahoe. When the Ranger is parked between these two it looks like a sub-compact. The back seat of the Ram has about 18" of floor space between the seats and the back of the front seats and the interior is wide enough for 4 people to sit across...

That never occurred to me. ?

He was quite the hot rodder too. Here is his car collection.

What is that 6683 number? If it is square feet that is a tiny lot. FWIW, the area where I live was divided up into 40'x80' tent lots in the 50s with the intent of selling them as camp sites. Every tent site had access to at least one of the many ponds in the area via a paper road. It never...

The Ranger has an oil cooler that is part of the oil filter adapter. It uses coolant to warm up the oil to the operating temp of the engine and cools the oil if the oil goes above the thermostat temp. My Focus ST had the same setup and also had an oil temperature gauge. The oil temp tracked the...

AA will not launch on Sync any longer without unlocking your phone. Same with Ford with Alexa, the wake up word does not work unless the phone is unlocked. I have tried setting the truck as a known place to keep the phone unlocked but I still have to unlock the phone for either to work. I am...

Mid 60s today. Garage door is open and working on projects outside. The Barracuda is going for a ride later this afternoon to the local Brew Pub for some cold ones and a burger. What a difference from a week ago.

I wouldn't consult CR for anything. CR always presents there data in a way that makes the differences between one product and another seem as significant as possible. They never give you the standard deviation of the data that would allow you to make an informed decision. In the case of the...

When Waze first came out the promise of real time traffic updates and police traffic enforcement was a big attraction. I gave it a try and found it very disappointing. People kept shouting it's benefits and I kept giving it a try and it never got better. I finally deleted it off my phone. Even...

The Official Ford conversion is 200 points = $1.00. I got 42,000 points ($210.00) when I bought my Ranger and used them to buy red tow hooks and a damper, still have 8000 points ($40.00). Hoping they will extend this online purchasing to merchandise, what I have left will mostly pay for a Ford...

I hope that is another sarcastic comment! ? I have not had to doing any programming to a new phone since the days of the flip phone. Just connect the new phone to your Google or iCloud account and everything on the old phone populates onto the new phone.

I jacked the front of my Tremor up until the rocker was level, it took 1". I got the RangerLifts.com 1" spacer and I think it is perfect. I see a lot of Rangers on this site where the wheel well gaps are the same but the rocker is going up hill toward the front of the truck.

I know the TomTom app would allow you to down load the entire country. As I recall it was about 2.7 Gig of data.

There are several tuners that have blown up a significant number of 2.3 Ecoboost Mustangs. They also get more power out of the engine by pushing it closer to the edge. You don't hear about them over here because they tune using the COBB platform. For whatever reason COBB hardware/software does...

FWIW, Prior to 2016 Sync was Microsoft Windows based, even had a little plate on the console stating; Powered by Microsoft. Starting in 2016 they moved over to Blackberry's QNX mobile operating system. QNX powers the infotainment systems in BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and...

Google Maps defaults to a relatively small amount of offline down loaded data. Based on my Home Map data it is about 30 by 40 miles worth of data. You can grab larger areas and create new areas but it still is limited compared to the entire country with the factory nav. I have driven out of my...

Well it is integrated into the factory nav so you don't need to do anything to see the typical green, yellow, red on the roads for congestion and yellow icons for accidents, construction, etc. It will automatically reroute you for significant traffic issues. There is also an App under the App...

Assuming you are in the 3/36 warranty period of the tune and the FPP tune causes a failure the FPP tune covers the cost of the repairs. After the 3/36 during the 5/60 power train warranty of the vehicle, if the FPP tune causes a failure Ford could deny the claim. BUT, in my 6 years on the...
