Looks great. Has the pickup gone as smoothly as the order?

The `16 Wrangler my wife has been the opposite story. Seems like every few months something else is wrong with it. axle seals, tie rod, crank pully, ignition coils, radiators. And she never goes off-roading with it.

May want to watch the speed, owner's manual states to not exceed 70mph while towing. I set the cruise at 70MPH with the adaptive at max gap when speed limit is >=65MPH.

What was found to be the cause on that for you? On my way home from ViR Sunday I started getting a hissing noise from the AC, but I cycled it off and on and it appeared to stop. I didn't get the trailer disconnected until last night and last night while driving there was no AC at all and the...

Last few weeks I've been away from home at races and camping at state parks between the races. I started from home in NC, when to CMP, then to Sebring, to ViR, and finally back home. Pulled a small single axle travel trailer and had my bike on the roof of the truck. I'm not displeased with the...

If the laptop tripped it, I think you have to let the outlet reset (I think let the truck fully power down and the try again once it is running) before anything else will get power. I know my laptop has a 180W power supply and that is too high for the Ranger's outlet.

Well, from my race trips that I started Friday of the week before last I've so far driven 1300 miles and almost all of those pulling the camper and dash reports 19.4 average. Tomorrow, I finish drive to ViR and then it's a short drive to camper owner's place to return it before I go home on...

Right now Waze on AA is trash, stops working mid drive all the time. I'm a Waze editor and I've stopped using it on long drives because I need something that works. Been using Google Maps for long drives. If I'm driving local area, <10 miles, I'll switch back to Waze but even then it will...

I'm visiting Florida, could have tried smoke signals once it was day light. Also, remote locations are why I don't really trust that the phone option will always work, you'll need signal from your phone carrier and the truck will need to see the signal from AT&T for it to work. Too far in the...

Exabit A as to why I have 3 methods of entry (key fob, phone, keypad) on my truck. Also, if my key is in my truck while unloading/loading I do have a habit of rolling the windows down unless the weather prohibits this.

I like the ACC feature as is. As to the comment that we don't have the hardware required for stop and go in traffic, we 100% do have the hardware if we have ACC since the truck can control braking, accel and gear, and also has all the needed sensors then it has all the hardware. The software may...

Well, I didn't think me just driving a little aggressive (~7/10s) would outpace the BMW that bad. driver said he was good to go, and we based part of the decision on the lighting from the cars that night.

The HCU makes the pressure it wants on the lines it wants the pressure on. it can lock three wheels and leave one completely free to turn it if thinks that is the best thing in that moment. While this may not be the exact system Ford is using it is likely very similar in ability Linear Control...

No, a Tacoma is not for me, can't tow enough. As for RP, he's no problem. My humor doesn't work well in the US for some reason (I blame Eastern European grandparents that raised me, only joke they knew was Poland) people think meaningless things bother me, in reality I just have the free time...

If you had a non-ABS/ESC system that would be partly true, even these have 2 hydraulic circuits after out of the MC. While the MC still has two hydraulic circuits from it on ABS/ESC vehicles when it goes into the HCU those get split into 4 circuits with HCU able to control each one independent...

You should be nicer to Bob, he likes rifles.

Are you implying that someone here is a cheap bastard?

On my RS I had just put new tires on one of my wheel sets and had a sidewall blowout from a pothole, I put one of my other wheels on until I could get the new tire ordered and mounted. Drove around fine with 3 new tires and one almost to the 2/32 wear indicators all of them were 235/35R19...

I used to work at a shop that did tires/batteries/shocks. Unless the car was full time AWD I would suggest based on the customers needs, and if they didn't need 4 on a 4WD I didn't suggest it. In todays market due to how advanced some of the AWD systems are I would go on what the owner's manual...

Nope, not that simple. The RS is AWD and does not have that rule, clearly states otherwise in the owner's manual. And on a 4WD since +95% it is it 2WD mode (no connection between front and rear axles) it can be safely treated like a 2WD setup. If you just want to spend more over a blowout and...
