  1. Where’s your dog?

    First camping trip of the season.
  2. Anyone ever have their infotainment freeze up?

    Happened once the 2nd day after I took delivery in 2019. Display was frozen and remained on even after turning truck off. I wasn't far from my dealer so I took it in. They pulled the battery and reset everything. Never happened again.
  3. Need advice regarding new tires.

    I was recently faced with this dilemma replacing the original Hankooks on my '19 Lariat with 18" wheels. I mostly use my truck for skiing in the winter and towing our travel trailer in the summer, which are pretty contrary asks of a tire. I do a lot of driving on highways and interstates at 70...
  4. 2023 with Poor FM and virtually no AM Radio

    I've found that AM radio reception in cars manufactured over the last couple of decades or so have been mediocre at best. I've written that off to the extreme filtering required to get rid of all of the noise that now emanates from the vehicle itself. (Which is why the manufacturers want to be...
  5. This truck is getting to me…

    No can do. If I wanted to deal with this level of unreliability and uncertainty, I'd save a boatload and buy something used.
  6. Is there any disadvantage to a SuperCab?

    Not a surprise considering that last year Ford announced that they'd be discontinuing the SuperCab for the F-150 in Lariat trim. Over the last 20 years, Crew Cabs went from being considered work trucks to family haulers and standard and supercabs became the work trucks. The reality is that...
  7. How long did your factory tires last (miles)

    I just replaced the original 18-inch Hankooks on my 2019 Lariat at just short of 47,000 miles.
  8. Towing the Line?

    Where we are, there are many significant interstate passes that are a challenge to trailering no mater what you're driving. We just have to pay a bit more attention. Our tongue weight is a bit over 10%, which is right where it should be. Actually, I did look into the Hensely as I have some...
  9. Where’s your dog?

    Murphy cheering on the Montana Grizzlies as they leave town for the FCS championship game.
  10. Realigning Headlights after 3" Front lift to Level Truck

    I re-aim mine twice a year; in the spring when camping season starts and the fall when it ends. I have strips of tape on the back wall of the garage at the appropriate heights. Takes less than 5 minutes.
  11. Possible water in fuel..

    Whoa. Typically when this sort of thing happens stateside, (misfueling) it entitles you to a new engine. No idea how this plays out in Italy.
  12. Towing the Line?

    We have a Jay Flight 24RLSW. (When we bought our Ranger we were originally looking at a 21 foot) After loading it up with our gear, I weighed it at a Cat Scale and we were just in limits. (About 710 on the tongue) Power isn't a problem, but going downhill or in crosswinds requires extra...
  13. Average life of the stock battery?

    Now into year 5 on the original in my 2019 Lariat. It doesn't get driven much this time of year, so I wasn't surprised that the auto-stop wasn't working on my round of errands last week until just before returning home. (One of the errands was replacing the original Hankook tires) It will get...
  14. Nearly flawless Ranger

    If I had one main complaint, it would be that. They really could have done better with the twin screens on the Lariat. It would really be nice to have the stuff I look at 99% of the time on one screen.
  15. New Tire Decision

    I'm approaching the same decision before winter hits. I have been able to get over 4 years and 47,000 on my original set of Hankooks. I primarily use my 2019 Lariat 4x4 for towing our travel trailer from spring into fall, and skiing in the winter. When I bought my Ranger, I was on the fence...
  16. Towing with my 2019 Ranger

    I tow a heavier travel trailer. Power will not be your problem. Going downhill will be your concern as your trailer will weigh more than the truck. The 2.3 with the turbo is great for power, but doesn't offer as much for braking. Expect to be reving near redline going down passes.
  17. Any recommendations for a shell?

    I've got the Leer. Have been quite happy with it.
  18. Average life of the stock battery?

    Have a 2019, and am still on the original battery. Have had the same thought and am watching it closely. I just drove my truck today after having been sitting for three weeks, and noticed that the auto-stop-start didn't shut it down until I was done with most of my errands, suggesting that it...
