And for those who want it, an option to just buy the f'ing truck from ford on the internet without having to bargain with a dealer like it's a 12th century bazaar. I just want to buy what I want without any drama, the way I buy every other thing in my life that isn't a vehicle.

so do I. they get damp when they're between me and a non-breathable surface in the summer. in the winter the plastic is just f'ing cold in the morning.

It's certainly time to give consumers options rather than sticking them with the historic dealership model propped up with lobbying and bs. Look at state representatives' major donors--you'll find their local car dealer right there at the head of the line at the trough. That's why we've got what...

well, it's ATT :D

I think it would be really nice to have a truck hotspot with better antenna location and no heat generated in the phone trying to boost its power on a weak signal. But it's ATT only, so screw it.

Now that sucks--the LED lights are 1000x better

I hate "leather" seats with a passion, and wish cloth were an option on the lariat. I've never understood why anyone would actually want to sit on a non-breathable plastic sheet. (Maybe a damp back is a good thing for some?)

That is the flip side of this: they could *not* charge extra for certain paints, but then everyone with cheaper colors would pay a little more.

15k RPM is just a normal day for a taco going up a hill

my tailgate goes to ~45 degrees if I loop the cables over the lock bracket ?‍♂️

Mine did, then the replacement did. Currently waiting for another replacement. I'll probably go with a 3rd party, but I intend for Ford to get a full picture of how shitty their part is first.

That single feature would make the app worthwhile. So, don't get your hopes up. :D

gummed up EGR valves have haunted a lot of models. I'm curious if ford ends up pushing a service bulletin for this.

It is as simple as that, but you need to read past the headline. " Motorists can also pony up roughly $180 for a one-year heated seats subscription, $300 for a three-year subscription or $415 for “unlimited access.” " You can pay a flat rate and get the feature, you don't need to pay a recurring...

You do know there's an option to just buy it one-time without a subscription, right? It literally does add an alternative that did not previously exist.

That was always the case; a message is nicer than a spinning wheel with no hint as to what the expectations should be.

The ranger is the first car I've owned in 20 years that didn't have a quick way to roll all the windows down before getting in. The corners ford cut are just fascinating.

I'll play devil's advocate on this one. Currently the way most manufacturers do things is that they tie up all kinds of useful features into "packages" that are only available on particular "trim levels". If you want, e.g., a heated seat on a ranger you need to pay something like $8k to move...

yes, if they really cared about this there would be an idiot-proof "flat tow" knob that would do whatever needs to be done--no ridiculous "procedure", and clear visual indication that everything is correctly set up.

IMO, that's not what the memo that was posted says; instead, it says that if a transmission blows up and there's any indication that the vehicle was towed, it's not covered. More specifically, there's nothing about a diagnostic procedure to determine whether the proper procedure was used.
