the latch is designed wrong. you need to push the arm rest back a 1/16th of an inch. while pulling on the tab. to provide enough clearance for the pull tab to unlatch the mechanism. The more you pull on the tab itself does nothing. as that is pulling the latch tighter.
If i get ambitious I...
Move to New Hampshire. no seat belt law for adults. No helmet law for motorcycles.
(still seat belt laws for young kids though)
heck if you prove you can post a bond to pay for damage in an accident to other parties you don't even need car insurance.
of course I know several people that...
works with an XLT too.
my personal favorite and kinda of annoyed feature is scheduled start.
when I get up in the morning I set it to start a few minutes before I have to leave for work. I do drop off for the kids and it is much easier having a warm truck to buckle them into. and it is on...
Same in NH. we have had a couple of inches but nothing really good. I miss Lake Effect snow. (never thought I would say that one). (lived off the end of Lake Ontario for many years)
plug and play is a bit simple as the plugs require removing a lot of trim pieces to pull wiring. though someone versed in it can do the install in a hour and change.
The big difference between bluetooth ones and an manual is in usage while driving.
if you are driving down the road and come to...
I couldn't figure out how to remove the bulbs, not matter what I did i couldn't pull the bulbs back far enough. Eventually I asked my brother who does custom mods for a living, and he figured it out, that they added an extra cable tie in there. move that tie away and you suddenly had enough...
Many years ago while driving a nissan sentra, I was on a back country road making a delivery for a contractor. So middle of the day bright sunlight, corn fields taller than the car, and I am cruising. when a deer jumped out of the corn, turned 90 and ran down my lane of the road away from me...
I learned to drive in lake ontario Lake effect in a rear wheel drive extended cap f-150 with a full size bed.
snow tires are for wimps. but sometimes are required. currently in NH, snow mostly doesn't stick around long. at least on the highway. if you are in an area where zero for a month...

I got my tie downs and bolts from tasca parts, at the time it was only $80 including shipping
I also used the M8 eye bolts above in the front bed where there are additional tie down points possible.
I bought a cheap m8/m6 tap kit off amazon, the taps basically wore out on the bed liner...
Mine (with ford TBC) was the same way with my brothers tester. Though the brake light on his did activate.
When I picked up my trailer I ran through the usual setup then rolled forward, and spun the TBC knob up to max and tapped the brakes on the truck. The trailer stopped the truck hard. I...
I love the auto dim highbeams. though they did make my laugh for a couple of miles last week.
2 lane country road, enough traffic the the high beams would come on and off every 15-30 seconds.
The trick is I had my fog lights on as well and high beams disable the fog lights.
I had also...
I had a list of requirements when I started looking in the spring of 2020. tow rating 7500 pounds. crew cab, andriod auto, etc. At the time the only vehicle that had all of those easily was the ranger.

was changing my fog lights out for new led bulbs and my 2 year old was pretend driving the driving. all of a sudden the lights came on and the radio was on and the keys were in my pocket.
My brother mentioned yea modern cars are funny if you press enough buttons something will activate.
except it would lower the tow ratings.
the 2.7l maxes out at towing 6,600 pounds or so. same with the 3.3l v6 Both of those engines in the F-150 tow less than a Ranger.
Between space, weight, torque, HP, etc a balance had to be struck The Ranger has the best towing in class because instead...
