  1. Can I add Power Folding Mirrors to my STX?

    it's a Snoway brand electric/hydraulic. ive had snoways since 1996 and i can't say enough good about them. bracket is from them for their light duty 22 series (height) personal plows. they are much quicker than other brands and lift and stack higher also.
  2. Want to upgrade 4" to 8" sync from a junkyard

    i'm gonna watch your thread closely and will let you know if i hear anything. according to the 2 upgraders they are using oem parts so if those can be found used or elsewhere the big 2 questions are why that weird cable interface and can that be bought by itself, and why the programming. also...
  3. Why Are Some Tacoma Owners Like This?

    there's a $35 damper kit for the ranger. ford makes it and there are probably aftermarket makers as well. it includes a ram and two brackets and installs in minutes. that begs the question of why did ford leave this off. even for marketing and sales and as something the salesperson can show...
  4. Why Are Some Tacoma Owners Like This?

    why do almost all cars today have an automatic up and down on the front door windows, or like the ranger on the driver's side only, and the '19 tacoma didn't have it at all? how much does that switch cost?
  5. Why Are Some Tacoma Owners Like This?

    read my post. i was leaning tacoma until i drove the ranger. then i drove the tacoma back to back with the ranger. i did this twice for both tacoma engines (big local dealership berlin toyota and berlin ford so they didn't mind). the ranger was better in every possible way during the test...
  6. Why Are Some Tacoma Owners Like This?

    I had a 2002 and a 2013, both bought new. toyota replaced the frame on the '02 and was probably going to have to do the same on the '13 but i sold it back to a toyota dealership for about what i paid 4 years earlier. it came time for me to buy another small truck so i tried both tacoma engines...
  7. According to NADA my '19 STX 4x4 Supercrew is worth $7500 more than i paid for it!

    if there was a financial payoff to make it worth it i might do that. i'm thinking, however, of sales tax (though if the trade was more than the cost of new then no sales tax) but excise and insurance would go up. i boought a '14 jetta diesel leftover right before the dieselgate scandal and...

  9. Mpg. All highway. Surprise.

    for the average passenger vehicle the (driving school/rules of the road literature) recommended distance behind any other vehicle is one car length per 10 mph. at highway speed that means 5 to 7 vehicle lengths from your front bumper to the vehicle or semi you are following. there is no way...
  10. can the camera for the Ford Copilot Package be repurposed as a dashcam?

    i have a '19 ranger stx with the ford 360 copilot package. i'm wondering if there is a way to use that permanently mounted camera as a dashcam. there is also a rearview camera for backing up and maybe copilot functions - can that camera also be repurposed? dipstick jim
  11. Surprised by my gas mileage

    when it operates the auto stop/start does make a difference. my problem is that it is not aggressive enough. if the steering is operated or a/c is on or whatever then the off/on won't operate when it could. it can also be turned off and on at the console but i understand it will default to on...
  12. Mpg. All highway. Surprise.

    all things being equal, something must be wrong with your truck. i'm getting up to 27+ pen and paper calculations in rural driving. worst 4wd mileage is something like 20 on the sticker. go to your dealer.
  13. Ford Price Increases

    1) that page you attached isn't in the brochure i have. maybe that is a build sheet. that is not offered to the buyer either during any negotiation or at delivery. but if that is supplied to the dealership, and all they have offered you is a brochure and a showing of a vehicle representative...
  14. Ford Price Increases

    thanks thanks, i read that as: we gyped a bunch of people, we are getting a bunch of complaints and we don't want to own up and do the right thing so...go pound sand. your welcome, fmc
  15. Ford Price Increases

    read the article. still a little confused but maybe engine cover design makes a difference in a front wheel drive transverse engine vehicle where after impacting the bumper, grill and actual hood the pedestrian makes some form of contact with the engine. on the taller, tractor engine setup of...

    was that a dealer assist or 5 fingers? j.d.
  17. Surprised by my gas mileage

    weight in any light compact pickup, as long as it doesn't interfere with airflow, will help with mileage. jim dipstick
  18. Surprised by my gas mileage

    it's an interesting transmission. sometimes it shifts imperceptibly. sometimes it clunks and on rare occasion i worry that i lost some gears on the road. that being said it is much, much better than the 2019 tacoma with a 3.6 v6 (or the 4 cyl. - i tested both. the new tacoma 6 was powerless...
  19. Fuel Calculator Adjustment

    i appreciate that engineering change info. my mileage is about one less than the computer. i have every fill up recorded so i can get that coefficient number for the 7500 miles on the truck (and before you say it - no i simply don't have anything better to do). funny, in this short thread...
