  1. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    I can not seem to find this test procedure in the manual. Can you paste in into this thread please.
  2. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Lets throw another thing in this sespool of misinformation: Driving today with cruise on and i push the Redarc button to apply trailer brakes (trailer not connected) and the cruise control shuts off. So, If pushing the button on the redarc cancels the cruise control that means the computer can...
  3. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Yes he said trailer plug wire, however i just took it as if you wire it into the upper brake light like ford said, it would activate with AEB without issue. I ignored his suggestion of the trailer plug wire.
  4. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Yes, from talking to them i gather that it would basically be the same thing. I believe ford is just trying to make it more plug and play and wrapping it up in a nice neat package.
  5. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    I messaged Redarc a couple of days go and asked if the Redarc would still apply the trailer breakes if the unit saw rapid deceleration but no brake input. Here is his reply: "Thank you for the enquiry. You are 99% correct Steven. The Tow Pro will only activate the brakes when the pedal...
  6. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    I hope the brake controller works better then that zoom feature on that picture... But on a serious note, its a Redarc that is going to install how it was previously mentioned. Its going to get the signal from the upper brake light wth the new box inline and a different ground. If you want...
  7. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Maybe im crazy, but i am 100% ok with the aftermareket Redarc installed to the 4 wires under the dash (like i have) and turing off the AEB and not using cruise when towing a trailer. People rely on to many computers and other aids wehn driving a vehicle. This is coming from someone who would...
  8. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Has anyone confirmed that the purple wire does not get signal under Emergency braking or even adaptive cruise. I dont think i know of anyone who has verified this. I have only seen the assumption that this is the issue they were trying to avoid.
  9. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    Can you turn off EAB? I was lead to believe that is not a feature that can be turned off.
  10. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    So long story short, if adaptive cruise is turned off, you only need to worry about EAB. And if the EAB is kicking on, hopefully you are already in the process of pressing the brake pedal which would activate the trailer brakes anyway. If you are not hitting the brake then you most likely will...
  11. Ford warns that Active Cruise Control can NOT be used with an aftermarket trailer brake controller

    I guess i am not seeing the huge issue. 1. I dont have adaptive cruise on mine. 2. I usually dont use cruise control when towing with other traffic around. Its just something that i have never felt right about. However for the guys that do use the adaptive cruise, i can see how this would...
  12. Anyone Using FordPass Rewards?

    Did you have to give them any extra info at the time of purchase or do they go off of email? Name? I am just curious how it all works i guess
  13. CONFIRMED: XL/XLT Trims Missing Plastic Cover for Ignition Cluster

    The black are out of stock. Any chance more will be listed on the site?
  14. Anyone Using FordPass Rewards?

    I am hearing about guys using points, but is anyone GETTING points by paying for oil changes or buying parts through Ford?
  15. What are you guys towing?

    The RX7 is the reason i even looked at the Ranger in the first place. I needed something to tow it to the track and i didn't want a full size truck being that i live in the middle of a city and would also be using it for my daily. i honestly have no need for a full size either. I feel the...
  16. What are you guys towing?

    I may know a thing or two about RX7s and turbos as well. Must be a Ranger thing??
  17. CONFIRMED: XL/XLT Trims Missing Plastic Cover for Ignition Cluster

    Is there supposed to be some sort of ring around the ignition where the key goes? Mine seems to be wobbly and has a space around it.
  18. Crowd-sourced Trailer Brake Controller's List for 2019 Ford Ranger

    If there was not an actual knockout for that to fit flush with the dash, i think it would look out of place. Like an afterthought that was just added on top of the dash and not INTO the dash.
  19. Redarc Tow Pro Elite Install

    I am assuming the computer flash rumor that was started awhile back was just that - A rumor - and not a real thing. There is no way for the the Ranger PCM to have any control over a redarc controller or a ford branded controller (if it truly is the redarc re-branded) with only the four wires...
