Didn't one of our military pilots lose an F-35 recently? Joking aside, our country needs a strong defense budget because we are not well-liked by everyone, and some people who don't like us mean to do us harm. That is another area where I believe our tax dollars are spent well, even at the loss...

My point was that it was a versatile vehicle that could be configured to multiple job duties as the user saw fit. In the second post, I was actually praising the useful spending of our tax dollars which the government is not known to do. This is a project that is probably fifteen years minimum...

I could care less about what it looks like as long as they deliver my mail and whatnot on time. I mentioned the Ford Transit van as they do sit fairly low and appear to be able to hold more packages and mail while being cheaper. It may not sit as low as the chosen vehicle but low enough while...

While it is good to know that the chosen design is from an American company and made here, I had meant my preference for the Ford van over the Mercedes as a cheaper alternative. I should have been clearer on that but it is interesting to learn that Ford is the one providing the engines.

I know my grandpa and aunt both custom ordered vehicles as right hand drive from Jeep and Toyota so that they could deliver mail in Arkansas years ago. I am not sure what steps they went through to get that approved but I bet if the order was large enough, Ford and Ram could configure the vans...

If everything is running fine with no issues or glitches, I would keep it and change all the fluids, filters, belts, and plugs to help keep it running well. I would also look into changing out the EGR pressure sensor as preventive maintenance as it is a cheap part and takes twenty minutes to...

What is insane about that is the Mercedes Sprinter vans are roughly the same cost and probably could get a bulk discount. The commercial Ford transit van starts at $47k for non electric and $51k for electric. Not that I would approve of FCA products but even the Ram Promaster is an option at...

I had a 2011 Mazda 3 that I bought new during my senior year of high school. May not have been the smartest financial move but unlike the Toyota I was driving, it was reliable, had ac and very fun to drive. I wish I had kept it but it wasn't a truck and I've always preferred trucks to cars or suvs.

That was why I wanted the factory TBC. However, I don't think my AEB works, as it only seems to flash an orange warning on my screen (mostly unnecessary) in Houston driving. After searching aftermarket options, it appears that the price difference may be worth just getting over and getting...

Thanks for clearing that up! I do have the TRM so the harness and connector are all I need for the outside of the truck. I was wanting the factory TBC but that $330 price tag is a little steep so I may look into other options for that.

I see the module on my truck on the other side of the bracket that the telematics module is on so I presume I have this part. I am uncertain as to what the arrow you drew is pointing at or for, but am I right in assuming that I just need the wiring harness for the bumper sensors and the seven...

I bout my 2019 last year in July with 76k on it. At this point I would do all the fluids, filters, belts, and spark plugs. I have yet to do the two belts on mine but it is planned for the near future. Oh and don't forget the EGR pressure sensor for these trucks as they like to mimic transmission...

I was almost nine (I was born in September) when that happened. As my Dad likes to put it, it was our Pearl Harbor and I remember watching it on TV very well. Being older now and a little bit more knowledgable on history, I disagree with him: the Japanese went after a military target and the...

That module that you listed the part #fl3z19h332d for, is it actually needed? I thought just the wiring and the 7 pin connector were all that was needed? Or is this for the trailer brake controller?

Don't know if it is common for the Rangers but I know it was replaced three times in 46k miles on my F150. A shop can do it for a couple hundred bucks or you can try it yourself for maybe $50 including a quart of gear oil to refill the diff of what leaked out. Either way, make sure the diff has...

I thought the coolant was every five years or 150k miles? Either way, I had the coolant flushed along with trans fluid and filter changed 84k miles on my 19 Ranger last May. I would change it at around 3 years or 60-75% of the mileage depending on the fluid. The two belts I haven't done yet as...

The posters link to replace the egr sensor fixed my bucking transmission that showed up after the fluid and filter was replaced. I replaced the sensor and it has been the smoothest shifting trans since and that was done almost three months ago. This is what I would do first before anything else...

Thank you for this input. I'm not OP but have been looking into small travel trailers as a graduation present to myself for finishing nursing school (soon). Looking to make a purchase next summer and hope to try and rent a couple different sizes beforehand to see what I am comfortable with in...

I would have thought that there was still some kinda lubricant but guess not. As for the standard equipment, I should have made it clearer but the if you have it comment was for the transfer case not the power steering. I can’t imagine anyone selling a vehicle today without power steering or ac.

Spark plugs are at 100k so go ahead and get those changed. The air filter is 2 years or 24k miles but at $15-20 I change mine every year and typically drive less than 10k miles in a year. In fact, due to age of the vehicle, you are due for just about every maintenance item there is: coolant...
