39 psi in 170/65/r16 Falken Wildpeak if I remember right. It was just as bouncy with the stock tires at 35 psi, Discount Tire recommended the higher pressure for the fatter tire.

The stock suspension is very soft and "bouncy" to the point where "The Ranger Bounce" was a thing. This is to give it a more comfortable ride on roads. It sucks, but its not anything HUGELY detrimental. I'm going to upgrade to the Fox Stage 1 kit when I get the spare cash, specifically to get...

Honestly, I would try fixing the part you have, up to the point where the part is unsalvagable, before buying a new one. Ideas: Vinyl is easier to apply than you think, 2-3 attempts and you'll get the hang of it. Soapy water is key, watch some videos, you can do it. You can get a roll of vinyl...

After having a 2 month odyssey getting my HVAC fixed, I can't help but feel a bit of vindication from this. Doesn't fix the absolute crap fan output from the drivers side floor, or anything if you split it, but, maybe this will prevent someone else from having to give up their new truck for a...

Thanks man! I'm really happy with how it turned out too. :D

Headroom (6'4" doesn't fit in a Tacoma) Turbo charged Engine that makes it fun to drive. Looks great. Cheaper than Honda. Ridgeline with any weight in it drags ass. Will never own a GM product again. Will never own a Nissan product again. Ford's reputation with Trucks. All added up to this.

Yup, its about as effective as an asthmatic 12 year old. Super sucks, but "working as designed."

Got my truck back finally after a full month in the loaner while we waited for Ford to send the part. Parts that got replaced: KB3Z-18478-AA -W714409S439 HL3Z-19B596-A Which involved pulling the entire dash and center console apparently, and replacing the HVAC box. Super glad to have my...

Update: In a Ford Escape top trim rental for the indeterminate future. Ford told them to replace the "HVAC Box" which contains the part that they have been replacing. However, the part is on backorder, and so is the box, and currently there is no ETA. So my projected repair time is 1 week -...

Apparently, the Ford Service troubleshooter ends at "replace this part" because the truck is too new. They sent an internal request to Ford for guidance, I drop it off Wednesday for them to do whatever they are going to do. Rumor is they're going to have to replace the whole HVAC system but...

Another loud pop and ratcheting sound today. First time I had been out and about longer than the commute to work since getting it fixed. So back to having no heat and calling the dealer again tomorrow. Oh joy.

Nice! I hadn't seen any that had the gloss instead of textured powder coat.

Yeah I definitely love the drive train and handling. Everything it needs to be as a "truck" is fantastic. I just wish more care was paid to the details. For instance, the "ignition ring" thing. My first car was a Ford, and I can't say they've improved much in the 20 years since in that regard...

Probably better on the higher end trims. Almost none of the plastic pieces in the interior of my XL fit perfectly, and are all of the cheapest possible material they could find, the vinyl floor is bubbly and lose, the gap in the tailgate on either side is hilariously large, the plastic material...

Shrockworks sliders have you drill 1 hole, and use 3 stick nuts, so you wouldn't be any less user friendly than they are. Was still relatively simple once you understood where everything goes and what you have to do. I haven't drilled the hole yet, so they aren't giving full protection, but...

5k miles since I bought it in December. Probably a little fudged since I have upsized tires, but less than 1mph at 75, so meh. Perks: The handling is fantastic. The drivetrain is a joy. It functions as a fantastic truck. I smile just about everytime I look at it. Complaints: The HVAC is...

Went through DT for my Falken Wildpeaks last month, guys were easy to work with, good price and did what I asked. Only thing was they forgot to put my old tires in the bed, but halfway home I noticed and turned around, they apologized and tossed em in. Make an appointment, in and out relatively...

I wear size 14 shoes and am wondering how the hell ya'll are putting your foot on the pedal. I press with the ball of my foot, so that sits in the middle of the pedal, and my toe has inches of clearance.

Yup, I accepted all those things when I first bought the truck. First generation in the US had me a bit wary, but I've got the most bone stock XL you could get with 4x4, so bells and whistles, there aren't many. As long as Ford honors the warranty, I have no problem if stuff breaks. Feel bad...

That would explain the ratchetting sound after the initial crack. It was grinding the little plastic gears trying to operate it.
