I think that should be "a significant amount". I mean, I drive in snow once or twice a year...but if I got snow tires they'd mostly wear like butter on a hot skillet when we get weird 100 year warm weather in January. (Again.) If you get weather that turns cold and then stays cold, then...

and that's why you carry insurance. they'd probably be worth more totaled. :D

I believe he is referring to the argument that the curt echo can only be manually activated via bluetooth/app, vs regular brake controllers that have a button. I'm also unconvinced that this is a real limitation.

For what it's worth in my experience that's just a waste of gas. Leave the thing in, take a road trip. If it's not done, try again next time. It seems to incrementally copy things.

Your experience is 180 from mine. The ford nav is iffy, certainly far from being up to date, and the traffic features are piss poor compared to waze. I got it for backup when I'm out in the boonies, but never use it in normal driving. They've been doing construction locally and waze is updated...

Mine came on a few days after I picked it up from the dealership...if there's one thing ford's dealer network can do these days, it's make sure the washer fluid light comes on in your new car. :facepalm:

hopefully not, since apple tends to not like standards that can be used by people who don't use apple products

The door sticker is based on the max payload of the truck.

That's where I am. I'm curious if they've actually fixed it.

heh, they sucked from the original run in 2019

yeah, it's basically water wings for the motor

I think he's not talking about the gear display in lockout mode, he's talking about the gear display in full manual mode. (Which is a completely different thing, also poorly documented.) Probably isn't mentioned much because full manual pushbutton mode on a 10spd transmission is mostly useless...

Yeah, I wish they had options for more stuff in the ranger. I'd love some cooled & memory seats and some of the other goodies from the high trim f150s, just not enough to buy a truck that big.

Why the hell would I try to put my wife in the back seat?

pro tip: if you drive a supercab, you can reach the rear slider from the driver's seat :)

Yes, it's buried in the back of the manual under "progressive range selection". It's not documented as "so you're curious about what gear you're in, here's how to get an informative display" and as far as I can tell isn't mentioned at all in the instrument cluster/displays section that seems to...

It's the kind of nice UI touch that ford isn't known for. I've always assumed some programmer stuck it in there in the dead of night, and nobody noticed until it would cost too much to take out. But they're certainly not going to make it easier to use (or really even document its existence).

yeah, you can't get a gear display unless you're in "manual" mode

that's why I don't wear daisy dukes ?‍♂️
