  2. Are my wipers on wrong?

    I had my windshield replaced and I noticed the position of the wipers. Notice the driver wiper is under the passenger arm. It sweeps OK but looks like the passenger arm could come down more. Sounds silly but I just can't remember if it was always this way or not, plus I did not think they took...
  3. Front USB ports intermittent not working

    UPDATE- I found a solution that, so far, is working. In addition to the CarPlay disconnects a new problem seemingly started after the latest ios update. The Ranger screen would freeze in CarPlay. No buttons would work but Apple Music would continue to run and there was no way out of this except...

  5. Front USB ports intermittent not working

    FWIW their is a guy on YT with a 2018 F150 that made the swap. He had to upgrade SYNC to 3.4 from 3.0 for it to work. I have 3.4.
  6. Front USB ports intermittent not working

    I have no idea how to read post number 20. Explain it like I am five please. What parts do you suggest I buy? What does newer hubs mean? Did Ford revise the part with the same part number but different dimensions?
  7. Front USB ports intermittent not working

  8. Front USB ports intermittent not working

    Update- Car Play was mostly working since original post. I have bought a new iphone that has the USB C port and it has worked at best, a minute or so before disconnecting. Wife's phone has the lightning older port and that works as it has been which has been mostly OK. Status: -Both port...

    I have 2019 XLT with a Leer topper. Looking for replacement struts C16-34992. The OEM, Supra, wants $40.00 each and looking for something cheaper. Amazon nor eBay have this exact number. Google search only shows Supra. Anyone know any equivalents?
  10. Anyone have the exact specs for the FX4 main skid plate bolts?

    I am in (semi) rural Canada right now and no one has the bolts with a 15mm head. I don't have the old ones. Went to a specialty place sort of like a Grainger and the guy said bolt heads in metric go from 14 to 16 and the OEM auto manufactures basically bastardized the metric system and a true...
  11. Help please for a non tire guy buying his first tires after OEM

    Update- I bought the Michelins! Thanks for everyone’s input. I compared the suggested tires with Tire Rack and Discount Tire. In almost every case the pricing was within a few dollars from either vendor. I went with Discount Tire as I have used them before and been very happy.
  12. Help please for a non tire guy buying his first tires after OEM

    Are these the Michelin tires everyone is recommending? https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/michelin-defender-ltx-m-s2/p/127489#treadwell-data What does the M/S 2 mean? Mud and snow? 2?

    2019 XLT FX4 38K Miles BUT I tow in behind my motorhome so tires actual miles are much higher than that. It has the black package which came with Hankook 265 60 R18 and the mounted spare is 265 65 R17. I live in a warm climate so no snow. It has been off-road once on a beach. First and only...
  14. Is there an extension for the positive battery terminal to aid with jumping?

    My 2019 XLT positive battery terminal is loaded with connections that make it difficult to get a clamp on to jump a battery. Anyone know of an extension or gadget to make this easier?
  15. Front USB ports intermittent not working

    Both front USB ports are intermittent. Sometimes I get charging but no CarPlay. Sometimes I get no charging and no CarPlay. Sometimes everything works fine. The other day the left power cig plug went out but now works fine. I have swapped phones and multiple cables; there is no pattern. I...
  16. Advice on descending steep grades in low gear

    Lawn MM-How can you engine brake in sport mode? I thought trailer mode was the only way to engine brake.
  17. Advice on descending steep grades in low gear

    The suggestion to use sport mode was excellent and worked well. I tried to use tow mode with it but my Ranger will not allow tow mode in sport unless I am doing something wrong. Thoughts on this?
  18. Advice on descending steep grades in low gear

    2019 XLT FX4 The scenario: Descended Pike’s Peak in CO. 14K altitude, 14 mile steep road. All paved with many switchbacks. Plus it was raining. 30MPH speed limit. A few miles down a brake check showed 375F with 300F maximum temp allowed so we had to park to cool the brakes down. What we tried...
  19. Skid plate support broke and I have a Blue Ox front hitch-is my support OEM?

    Funny you should mention that...... A few years ago something came loose in Montana on our way to Alaska. Wife took it to a metal shop and they told her it was a Demco. I supplied the baseplate to the shop that installed it which was also a machine shop. Bought it on eBay myself. Wondering now...
  20. Skid plate support broke and I have a Blue Ox front hitch-is my support OEM?

    Thanks for the link. Think this can be welded? The baseplate seems fine it is just the bracket that supports the skid plate.
