  1. Tailgate Damper……cons?

    Same here, strollers, totes, work gear that was foul smelling and needed a washing, next week I will have a box full of luggage for vacation. Never needed a damper, again hand works perfectly fine. Not hard to put down any of said objects and open the tailgate and then pickup said objects to put...
  2. Stolen tail light thread

    Time to watch the ol' Facebook Market Place and Craigslist. See if a fresh set of tail lights come up locally with cut harnesses still attached.
  3. Tailgate Damper……cons?

    And why would I have my arms full walking to my truck? They invented shopping carts for that very reason. If I don't need a shopping cart I don't need to use the box and the back seat is good for holding a couple bags of groceries.
  4. Tailgate Damper……cons?

    My hand works just fine since the tailgate practically weighs nothing.
  5. Just returned from France and Italy - ONLY saw Ranger pick ups there!!

    The registration ordeal is coming from the fact that states like mine, Iowa do not allow ''Kei Trucks/Vans'' to be registered for street use regardless of the 25 year exemption rule. This dates back to when the Kei Truck/Van craze hit in 2008 and importers were bringing them over by the boat...
  6. Just returned from France and Italy - ONLY saw Ranger pick ups there!!

    My preference is for a first generation Mazda Demio, just that none of the importers have interest. It's not part of the JDM Fanboy Machine. I have a customer on my route has an R32 GT-R "Canadian Spec" as Canada required running lights on the rear fenders when imported despite the 15 year...
  7. Just returned from France and Italy - ONLY saw Ranger pick ups there!!

    The Navara which formerly what the Frontier was until Nissan pulled a Toyota with the Hilux and Tacoma. Branched the Frontier off with a ''Refresh'' while the rest of the world got an entirely new beefed up Navara that even I would say, ''Shut up and take my money'' for. Of course don't tell the...
  8. Long range fuel tank

    EPA certifications are six figures as well depending on what needs to be tested. So when you are paying $100,00 plus to strap a different sized tank to a truck, make sure it doesn't increase emissions due to extra weight because they will, followed by evaporation testing, crash damage testing...
  9. Just returned from France and Italy - ONLY saw Ranger pick ups there!!

    The interesting part is Europeans tend to be fans of US vehicles. But the changes required often make it difficult or unappealing to import.
  10. Just returned from France and Italy - ONLY saw Ranger pick ups there!!

    European crash standards are way more strict than that of the US. We have very archaic laws for crash safety and lighting. I have a friend in the Netherlands, who knew somebody that was a huge fan of the Ford Taurus and imported one. It required over 300 changes from lighting to HVAC system...
  11. Parking brake boot.....Genuine Pleather

    The million dollar question.
  12. Parking brake boot.....Genuine Pleather

    So far mine is holding up and it was done last month. I had noticed about 2 months in from when I purchased the Ranger it started cracking. I do use my parking brake as it's habit from work and driving manual transmissions.
  13. Never Forget!

    Senior year highschool, just pulled into the parking lot. Had Man Cow on the radio and he announced a plane hit one the Towers then laughed. Thought that a small turbo prop like a Cessna hit. So thought nothing of it. Walk inside to every body in partial panic saying we're under attack...
  14. "Instant shift" tune for manual shifting in sport?

    Bingo, it's why I personally hate automatics because of that. I got really irate at my Camry when driving through Wyoming on I80 West because there are sections with very slight inclines. The transmission would shift down to 4th gear. I put it in manual mode and shifted to 5th as it did not need...
  15. Parking brake boot.....Genuine Pleather

    And overall Ranger production numbers aren't high thanks to the Rona and chip shortage either. 3-4 years of production/sales haven't matched one single year for the F150. Figure that sales expectations were 200,000 to 250,000 due to it's actually popular than the GM twins. Add it up most likely...
  16. Standard Duration, Built by Tags on?

    Free advertisement I'm glad my dealer had plate frames only that weren't put on as I had my own instead.
  17. Standard Duration, Built by Tags on?

    They have always been in there, your dealer or dealers must have removed them. I had the same Wayne sticker for my Focus. Family Tempo had a UAW sticker for the front windshield, my Escort and Explorer had an UAW in the front windshield also.
  18. Parking brake boot.....Genuine Pleather

    I got mine replaced under warranty, had to wait a couple months due to back order. My advisor and I were talking about it. He said the new boot has a different lining on the underside than the original boot, which matches the lining on the shift boot. We agreed most likely bad batch of pleather...
  19. Bed Decals - Raptor look

    Since my original guy gave me a proof but can't do them anymore. I had these done up at carstickers.com
