  1. Mobil quick lube refused to change my oil

    I had heard the oil filter in particular was a PITA on the new Rangers, so when I took mine in to the local 5 MInute Oil Change I made sure to ask for the manager who is someone I trust from bringing other vehicles in for the last 2-3 years. He was able to get it done, but it took him a lot...
  2. FordPass connect speeds

    To answer the original question, I generally get like 5-10 down the handful of times that I tested. Not awesome but good enough. It's a bit slower than my phone (also AT&T) but not by a lot. As far as why the plan is useful, I have two young kids who love to use their tablets in the car/truck...
  3. Android auto no sound on incoming calls - Fixed

    I haven't seen this listed on the forums here, but I bet I'm not the only one who has run into this so passing on this tip. When a call came in while my phone was plugged in using Android Auto there was no audio. The caller couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear them. If I called someone it worked...
  4. SOLVED: Android Auto Keeps Disconnecting

    When I got my 2020 Ranger AA was unusable. Then I tried using the OEM cable and it worked better. But still have to plug I'm my phone before I start the truck or you never know how it will behave. After reading this I think I'll try other cables too, as maybe it's related. Also, I recently...
  5. FordPass Connect 4G AT&T Monthly Prices - US

    I got the yearly unlimited plan. It's been pretty great. By unlimited AT&T actually means 22GB, but I've had them for a while so I'm aware of their unlimited limits. And for just something the kids use in the truck 22GB is more than enough per month. Just hoping they still have the yearly plan...
  6. Damper Shamed!

    Don't forget to remove the AC and Heater. You don't need "conditioned" air. Roll down your window like a man!
  7. Lane Keep assist

    I know, right! When I noticed that the Lane Assist setting stayed on I was like, "oh, this one you can keep?"
  8. Damper Shamed!

    I need a cigarette.
  9. Damper Shamed!

    If you order 2 a little man with spats and a Ford logo on his lapel comes out and opens the tailgate for you. I nearly pulled the trigger on this but I didn't want to use the room in the bed required to carry Higgins ... Oh, I forgot, his name is Higgins ... so I just got the one. It's a...
  10. Damper Shamed!

    I absolutely love this thread. I bought my damper before I even knew there was a Cold War divide over it. Cracks me up. I guess you can put me down for the candy ass club too. By the way, I also have power steering, electric windows, and an automatic transmission because I'm really a p*$$y. ?
  11. Lane Keep assist

    I assumed it was going to give me some kind of indication that I was drifting over the line. Maybe visual or audio. Maybe even offer some resistance in the steering, which it did do somewhat. What I wasn't expecting was the feeling that my truck tires were sliding or that I had a flat. I was so...
  12. Lane Keep assist

    LOL, reading all the Hatfield and McCoy type of divide responses is hilarious. I actually decided I wasn't even going to post my concern if no one else had posted anything. I assumed I would get the same kind of vitriol on both sides ... like the Auto Stop/Start or Tailgate Damper. Seems like...
  13. Lane Keep assist

    I recently discovered this on the blinker arm and turned it on. Later that day for the few days following I noticed that my Ranger tended to feel like it slipped. Like if I was going around a bend on a fast road, it would feel like I hit a tiny patch of ice. Just a bit; just enough to scare me...
  14. Incorrect Distance to empty

    Yeah, I've wondered about the DTE stuff too. Good explanations here. The other cars I've had that did similar mile warnings all came on when you actually were on or very close to empty. For example, the Santa Fe SUV I traded in for the Ranger would say 36 miles to empty when the gauge actually...
  15. What is something you love, and something you dislike about the Ranger?

    Not a huge deal, but I'm with you on the garage door opener. The Hyundai Santa Fe SUV I traded in for this was the same price range and it had 3 controls.
  16. What is something you love, and something you dislike about the Ranger?

    Yeah, I guess I'd rather pay the $80 to have it turned off then have a night light always on. Guess it's not enough to run down the battery? Or does it turn off when the car is off? Either way, my kids in the back seat would never leave that alone so it wasn't a real option for me anyway.
  17. What is something you love, and something you dislike about the Ranger?

    Damper you can order from Ford Accessories. Was like $40 and maybe 20 minutes to install. But you do need a large allen wrench so might need a quick trip to Home Depot to complete. There are a few ways to fix the Auto Off/On. I went with the Auto Stop Eliminator. (Google it.) It was like $80 and...
  18. engine start stop

    After you put it in you'll wonder why it took you so long. Really is well worth it.
  19. engine start stop

    Definitely not disabled by the AC. But it does kick down your AC power a lot. ?
  20. engine start stop

    I added the "Eliminator". Little less than $100 so not happy I had to pay extra for that (same feeling about the tailgate damper :) ) , but well worth it to me. Maybe it's just me but I don't like having to push the button every time I start up the truck. I already have to plug in my phone...
