My tailgate is automatic and I can use my remote for it! So bougie.

It's entirely possible, I could never find anything that really explained it and I wasn't about to chance it. Thanks! I loved my 04 F150 too, it wasn't nearly as nice but it was great for what I wanted. I always talked to people and came to the conclusion my ranger was "Stock+" - it wasn't...

It really is! It's a powerboost, so the 3.5L ecoboost + EV motor/battery. I haven't yet done a hand calc, but computer puts me at over 23mpg on my first 700 mile tank. That includes a lot of city driving and a good bit of highway too. With the Ranger, my lifetime mileage is only 18mpg, and I...

Yeah, outside of parking lots this thing is *way* better to drive than I expected. It's *SO* comfortable and it really holds on at speed too. I haven't really pushed it yet, but it'll come in time.

We've made this joke a few times too. They're just *SO* roomy. I made that joke too! Feels very Gremlins given how close the packages and colors are! I had an '04 F-150 back in the day and this is even massive in comparison to that! The 157" wheelbase is fun to get used to, it's like turning a...

Welp, add me to the list of former 5G Ranger owners. It seems that I've been on this plan of "drive for about 5 years or 80k miles per vehicle" since I started driving. I bought my '19 XLT in November 2019 with 34 miles on the clock. I traded it in at the beginning of the month after almost 6...

This is what it looks like to me. Audio (top) vs Home (bottom) - you can get between those screens super easily anytime.

No. There are aftermarket modules you can buy that will do that IIRC but no built-in options that can be enabled even with FORscan.

It's mounting the dune required flag, you can see the white pole running up the body if you look more closely.

I've used it once for the water in the spark plugs issue. It hasn't paid for itself and apparently there were issues with the dealer getting it covered under the ESP and they had to eat half the cost as well. I'm still having issues with my transmission and some valvetrain rattle (that the...

Yellow fog lights, always. Why? Because I've driven in incredibly dusty (almost 0 visibility) situations to blizzard, heavy fog, and wet road conditions. Higher (cooler) color temperatures are inferior to lower (warmer) temperatures in a lot of situations, but especially when you're in a low...

The TBC you want can be purchased direct from Ford: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/accessories/electronics/ranger-2019-2023-trailer-brake-control-towing-pack-2-p-vkb3z2c006a

Yeah, essentially it's not approved in the US, but it is everywhere else, but they'll sell them here regardless for "off-road use only" which can, mostly, be acceptable, just like the flexible hose fuel bottles that everyone uses for their offroad toys that also isn't approved for use in the US...

Big proponent of the 5 gallon VP Surecan. I've used this for years in my offroad trips and it's fantastic. https://www.sportbiketrackgear.com/vp-racing-5-gallon-surecan-fuel-can/

I do agree, that's my one gripe about them, their color is off too comparatively. I thought about taking bulbs out of my fender markers but alas.

I tried LEDs in the halogen housings, not a fan. They're far too scattered and blind everyone and I hated the lack of any cutoff they had. That said, I upgraded to the Alpharex housings when they released and their cutoff and pattern is really good, almost 4 years in and still one of my favorite...

Seconded bambi mode. I've had it on since I found it in FORScan. That extra light on dark backroads at night is hard to impress the importance of. It's so great. It does (at least for me) make the auto-highbeams a little wonky sometimes, but that's easy enough to override if it's a problem.

It's not the sole control, otherwise a failure in the system would take out the electrical in the truck. Hence all of the vehicles that run without a BMS (or with the sensor unplugged) that don't have issues. They lose out on ASS and on a lower duty cycle in the alternator, but they're not...

For the dark mountain roads, the only solution I found was A-pillar mounted ditch lights (even cheap amazon pods will work for this). For the brush problem, I upgraded my fog lights to the elite series from @Diode Dynamics which gave me waaaay more width. There's no lighting on our trucks...

It's not a maybe if you're lucky. If there's other electrical problems it has damage potential, but in an otherwise healthy electrical system, it's no more dangerous than a failing battery or alternator, which is to say not much. My point being, the BMS has absolutely no bearing on what the...
