I'm Ready

Considering the 2021 brake controller is the same part# as the '19 and '20, I seriously doubt anything was changed.

The Canyon, Colorado, Ridgeline, Frontier and even the Tacoma all have lowering kits available. So there is obviously a market to lower mid size trucks. The "street truck' scene is still very much alive and well.

You can not "chip" a modern vehicle. Tunes must be written or flashed onto the vehicles PCM. This thing wont do anything.

And then end up with a trailer with not enough tongue weight, which is far more dangerous.

Uhaul has to play it safe because their trailers allow next to no way to adjust tongue weight. You pretty much have to have the vehicle all the way forward on the trailer to tie down the wheels. Whatever tongue weight that gets you, that's what you got. With a front heavy vehicle like a pickup...

I'd put some money down on a preorder if they had some more details on the kit.

I believe the rangers don't have as much a problem with towing or heavier loads when leveled because of how stiff the rear springs are. Though I will admit, I see a ton of lifted/leveled trucks in this area pulling trailers in that good ole carolina squat position. The rear end of my 2020...

Aesthetics mostly and to fit larger tires. However, I think you'd see less leveling kits if these trucks weren't so raked. Personally I'd rather lower the truck. They look good in the renderings, not so much in real life. I use my truck as a daily commuter with occasional utility and towing, and...

Once you cut the pigtail, there is only one wire. Those other wires at the end of the pigtail are only there to bridge the wires from the male to female factory connector back together. The unit is grounded through the redarc box, and it doesn't need the bed lamp +12 at all. All that lumen unit...

That 6 wire pigtail terminates down to one wire(CHMSL brake lamp 12+), which is the only wire going back to the lumen module. The other wires on the pigtail are simply there to bridge the ground and bed lamp 12+ back together. Literally the only reason for the long pigtail is to get a signal...

If I'd seen your post before I installed mine, that's where I would have tapped. Unfortunately, I didn't have the 4 wire bundle for the TBC, so I had an added layer of problems to go with it.

Makes sense looking at it now. If I had to do it again, knowing what I know now, I'd just splice the CHMSL wire in the factory harness under the dash.

You really don't have to pull the entire headliner down, at least not on the super cab. Just popping a few of the rear clips gives you more than enough access to get to that plug.

You can't have "true duals" on a turbo I4.

I'd try a different pad compound first. Upgrading brake hardware is almost never needed on street applications. Common misconception is that larger brakes are for more clamping force, in actuality their main purpose is to help mitigate brake fade from the heat of repeated high force brake...

There's a whole host of reason's mpg vary from tank to tank. Doesn't change the physical properties of the fuel. Pure gas only has about 3-5% more energy content than E10/E15 and it's rarely ever priced only 3-5% more than ethanol blends.

Ethanol free gas only has about 3% more energy content than E10. Great for lawn equipment, older boats, carb engines, but for modern vehicles it's really not worth the higher price.
