All the dealerships here are closed. No parts. No service. Been wanting a regular service and rotate for over a month. No go. Sales continue online, but nothing in person. So.... we wait.
I couldn't say, with your RF system one way or another. The issue with our hard wired Tekonsha is that if "I" push the brake pedal, the trailer brake lights activate to alert folks behind me I am braking. If the truck should activate the brakes by the "emergency" tech sensors, the trailer's...
We turn off the automatic emergency brake. We know our Tekonsha isn't wired to be compatible with that system. That's fine. We don't have auto emergency braking on our F-150 either as the F-150 doesn't have that system,. The incompatibility is merely that if auto braking was activated, the...
The Rockwood series are as good as any and much better than most. Lots of reasons to really like it. We chose it and not disappointed. There is really only one main bug a boo and that's the pass through inverter. PITA. Design flaw in choosing a pass through version. Your outlets are...
We are "life time" towers of Travel Trailers, and are, in fact, along the gulf coast being a snow bird until it's safer to go back north. Even a 7' wide model is still wider than your truck mirrors and that's an issue. I'd also strongly suggest that towing above 4000lb dry weight of any TT is...
Exactly. We have no intention of running either AEB or Adaptive Cruise while towing. The four wires supplied and an aftermarket controller is working just fine for us, and at a 30% of the cost. It's all good.
If the difference was only "$3-$5" it would be tempting. Alas, it is not. The difference on a full tank here is $15 which is almost a grand a year. That's not chump change for us anyhow.
95% of our driving is grocery getting, going here and there and such. No stress and no need for peak...
That air pressure is shipping pressure from the factory for the trains/haul away trucks. The dealer is supposed to deflate those tires to a more reasonable 30-36 cold psi. My lumbar simply couldn't withstand 44 cold psi. No sir.
That panel (obviously) opens for the fuse area, using that pull indentation and the distance to the four wires for after-fit brake controller is only a few inches away, coming through the firewall right behind that panel, above the driver's left foot rest. Easy to find as they're taped up with...
I tweaked the dealer's "setup" on our equalizer hitch. The lowest guy on the shop's totem pole usually gets the task and it's typically only "close enough for horse shoes" and get the customer down the road. LOL. Anyhow, lots of study and I came to appreciate how the washers in the head, the...
Towing in wind and truck traffic is challenging. We are essentially pulling a wind sock through the air. Wind pushes on the sides of a trailer something fierce. Try a couple things perhaps. Try tweaking the hitch setup. You may want a bit more transfer of distributed weight to the front end...
Honestly, it doesn't matter. The dealer unit, and for that matter, the one day, factory unit will be supplier purchased by Ford anyhow. The auto makers today are largely designers and assemblers of outsourced components as most people realize. It has just been fun/irritating/bewildering to...
