it's not the janky fix, it's that they've done it for a decade as a dealer TSB instead of just fixing it at the factory. that's just a lack of fucks to give at ford hq.
Look for TSB 22-2104. Don't know if there's a newer one, for a long time Ford updated it every year to add the current year (rather than fixing the actual problem).

There was something called the ranger overseas, but the frame is different, the body is different, the engine is different, the transmission is different, the steering wheel is on the other side...I guess the trim around the controls in the center console is the same, but not much else. It would...
I just replaced mine at 4.5 years. No specific indications that it was end of life, but going into the cold season I didn't want to wake up on a camping trip and find it dead. As others have mentioned, they seem to go from working to not working with no warning these days.
ASS rarely worked due...
No, it's just shy of being a safety hazard. whoever likes to put shiny things on the dashboard should be fired. On my todo list is rigging some kind of visor to go over the screen so the bezel doesn't blind me when the sun is just right.
They're all overkill. The ranger has a rear axle weight rating somewhere around 3500 pounds. That means you need on the order of 1800 pounds per tire. To actually need an E rated tire you need to be driving an F250.
sorry, you're right; it technically only reduces the payload, but that often does affect how much payload is left for tongue weight if you're already near the payload capacity.
the point I was trying to make while rushing over the details is that the WDH doesn't magically make anything...
And this is why I don't get as incensed as some over Ford not preemptively recalling transmissions--there's a very good chance that letting dealership service departments screw with them will cause more problems than it could possibly solve.
That's irrelevant: the specific concern is that AEB will activate, causing the truck to brake without braking the trailer. At best this could cause poor braking performance, at worst it could jackknife the trailer, etc. This was not a concern before AEB. (But, as I said before, I question how...
