I suppose the big question, then, is why doesn't FoMoCo recommend similar maintenance?

I drove from San Antonio, TX to Dallas and back a while back. Since it was for work I was in no hurry and get the cruise at 70 the whole way. (even when the limit was 75) IIRC, I averaged 28.6 on the way up. On the way back I was at 29.7 mpg before I hit Austin at rush hour. Even that only...

My in-laws moved from San Antonio, TX to Wilmington, OH using their '19 Ranger. Their trailer was loaded to just slightly under 7,000 lbs and that one trip was almost 1,300 miles. Their Ranger was running just fine when it was rear-ended at high speed and rolled 1.5 times. I do not believe your...

When I saw the thread title I was worried! Thanks for putting some minds at ease.

My '19 doesn't get heavy use, just over 19k miles so far. I swapped all shocks with Bilsteins and set the fronts to +1.2". I got an alignment after changing the fronts. I've done a few light duty off road runs. The Hankooks are wearing evenly, but I will be looking for a different brand...

Haven't read all 5 pages of replies here, but from what I hear the subscription service is meant for people who don't plan to keep the car very long. You can pay something like $450-$500 up front and have it for good. That sounds like a pretty normal option price, especially for a luxury...

I heard Terminix bought a couple hundred of them.

For me, I bought before Covid which put me on permanent work from home. Also, shortly after buying it my wife got a new job close to my office. We were commuting together until March '20.

I thought my 17,700 in 3 years (plus 1 month) was low.

You're better off with an independent shop, or a mobile mechanic. I found someone who came to my house and swapped out my shocks in my own driveway in a couple of hours. But remember when replacing front shocks/springs you'll need an alignment, and it is impossible for a mobile mechanic to do...

I'm real interested in that mirror power tap. How does that work? I'd especially like to find a way to do it on my wife's Subaru, as she has a pathological aversion to any visible wire.

Never bothered me much. The stops and starts are WAY smoother than on my wife's Subaru. I figure it saves me +/- half a gallon per tank full which is worth it over the long run, I think.

You should be able to run lower pressure with larger tires, yes? The recommendation from Ford is only 30 PSI with everything factory. When I picked my truck up from the dealer, they had the tires at 48-49 PSI...since the max rating on the tire itself is 50, that's dangerous.

The instrument panel design bothers me so much. My wife's '19 Subaru has LOADS of buttons all over the wheel and dash (Touring trim) but everything you need to find is easy to find by feel because of nubs on the buttons and/or ridges or other design elements of the dash that lead your fingers to...

Just a few days ago I was sitting at a Whataburger waiting for my curbside order, and a guy in another Ranger pulled up and told me his were stolen to the tune of a $3,800 repair bill, and his insurance agent said that's becoming very common.

I have the Bakflip Revolver. I like it because it looks like a soft vinyl cover, but uses aluminum slats and is secure. It rolls up on top, so it doesn't take up bed space, but does block about half the back window when rolled up. (short bed) It doesn't impede the rear view much except for...

Considering the damage and the effort involved in recovery I'm kind of surprised that plane didn't just get written off.

Wow, they even left off the parking sensors? Cutting safety features to save a buck seems a bit much. Can you tell if it make a noticeable difference in your insurance rates?

Haven't read the whole thread...bit of a train wreck in a couple of places. :LOL: But I'm glad I got a "pre-covid" 2019 for these reasons: 6 tie down points in bed instead of 4. Keyless lock/unlock sensors on all 4 doors (Super Crew) instead of only fronts. Rear set headrests flip down. Engine...

About the only time I ever see 2nd is when using the trail control around 10-14 mph. It will sit in 2nd the whole time just about. Every once in a while it'll hit 2nd while idle-cruising in a parking lot.
