  1. Magic button to get heat to work in auto setting?

    It does for me, since on AUTO the fan barely blows no matter how much of a difference there is in temp in the cabin vs set point, but if I manually crank it up I can get the full fan speed.
  2. Cruise Control and towing

    I dont think using CC is an issue, even on older systems when the road ahead is clear. However, you shouldnt rely on its distance control or automatic braking. You need to be much farther away from the vehicle in front than the distance the ACC allows.
  3. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Sprayed on bedliner for the tailgate. I have the rubber bed mat already but wanted to protect the tailgate. I'll eventually do the sides/front of the bed as well but have to wait for it to warm up. Its not warm enough to spray that on outside right now.
  4. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Installed the front Rokblokz mudflaps.
  5. Open diff vs. rear e locker - did I make a mistake?

    I'm not entirely sure how the Ranger handles it, but in 4low you'd normally not have the normal TC active. It tends to get in the way when doing proper offroading. You should be in 4low when doing any low speed offroading, especially in spots where you might get stuck. If you're in 4high it is...
  6. Open diff vs. rear e locker - did I make a mistake?

    The e-locker is useful in certain situations but it is not required for most offroad driving. If you're in deep sand/mud/snow it can be useful to keep you from getting stuck, or get yourself out if you did get stuck. If you're on a very steep incline it can help you be able to make it up...
  7. Those of you with Tremors...

    I have the 2023 Tremor and really like how it rides compared to similar vehicles. For example, my brother's Tacoma ride is quite a bit stiffer and doesnt handle washboards well. The Tremor barely seems to bump when hitting washboards. (where I live its about a mile of dirt road to get to my...
  8. Adaptive Cruse Control - Increasing Following Distance

    I'd like it to be a bit farther at max setting too. I just finished a ~2000 mile trip on mostly highways and ACC had me closer than I'd prefer on the long low-traffic stretches. Its absolutely not 4 seconds on my 2023. Its way closer than that, more like 4 car lengths at highway speeds. Thats...
  9. 2023 Ranger - whining noise at idle and low speeds

    I havent had a chance to go to a dealership with it yet.
  10. Anyone else think the next gen trucks (4G ranger, new Taco, new Canyon) are WAY overpriced with crap gas milege ?

    We've had overly cheap car prices for a long time in the USA. We are starting to see the prices go up and be more similar to what the rest of the world pays for cars. I dont think that trend is likely to change.
  11. Cap less fueling

    I've had it happen sometimes, but not often. Its just a matter of finding the right position for the nozzle. In some cases all the way to the 'spring' that coils at the top, but others it is just part way.
  12. Interest Rates

    0% will be a very short term and a very high monthly payment. Not everyone can handle that. I do the 72 month to keep the interest as low as possible, and reduce the monthly so I can pay extra and pay it off early, and ultimately pay far less than the total interest.
  13. Interest Rates

    If you go through Ford, it will be pretty high. Like between 7 and 9%. If he can, check credit unions. I was able to get it down to 5.24% on a 72 month which was a few points lower than any of Fords offerings.
  14. Where to wire up dash cam

    If it has power and ground, get a fuse tap and use fuse 37 in the fusebox. There's also a bolt to the left of the fuse box that works for ground.
  15. No More Tremor After 2023

    First year of a redesign. Not surprising that things are missing. (also why I dont buy first years)
  16. Report your MPG

    On an 880 mile trip starting at ~9200ft altitude and ending at around 550ft altitude I my trip computer avg shows 20.6 mpg (2023 tremor). I saw it go as high as 22.8 mpg in the first half of the trip but the flat ground and having to run the A/C in the 2nd half definitely reduced it.
  17. Off-road Jack

    I like the bottle jacks. Much cheaper and still reasonably stable. Also, dont take up as much space as regular jacks.
  18. Switching from 18" to 17" wheels

    If the diameter of the tire is the same, it shouldnt matter. It is better for ride quality (especially on rough surfaces) to have the bigger side wall.
  19. Why did you choose a Ranger over another Truck

    Equipped the way I want, and I fit comfortably and it drives well. I dont fit in Taco's very well (head hits the ceiling) and the brake pedal feels like a switch with no feel. Didnt want a Colorado unless it was the new one, but those were not readily available.
