I removed my non auto-dimming rearview mirror to see if the stalk could be modded to fit my Wolfbox and I noticed a strange piece of “tape” on the back…

I peeled it back as saw this…

Anyone else find RFID tags on their Ranger? In a different spot maybe?
Mrs Duke must have placed it there :p

Probably was an inventory tracking tab not removed.

Maybe go to the dealer you bought from and scope out other cars on the lot or in service. Perhaps they put that on so as soon as you pull into the service bay area your info is brought up on a screen so they can pretend they remember you by name. 🤷‍♂️

Someone online suggested it is for the service department to track when and who is in for service, where the vehicle is, etc.

Maybe @Glocker knows if dealers use it for that purpose? 🤷‍♂️
The answer is, yes. Some dealers do use RFID stickers to match your vehicle to a profile in their system so they know when you arrive and the service writer can get your info pulled up quicker.

Yours however, is probably a NSA tracking device. They have you on satellite.

Thanks John,

Actually, I’m waiting to hear back from my sales guy. I have a feeling it’s a Ford inventory tracker or maybe a something for Michigan Assembly’s use.

If it’s a helpful Dealer Service item, I’ll leave it in place. If it’s for either of the other, I’ll just toss it.
Heck no, now its time to have some fun, stick it on someone elses truck!

I second this! You've got plenty of neighbour trucks that probably have Ranger envy. Give them a tiny taste of what they covet!

I will have to check my truck. I know at Discount Tire, a rep is asking what he can do for me when I am barely out of my truck.

I wasn't sure where you were talking about until I looked closely at your picture Duke. They really disguised it.

Very suspicious. 👀

Did you by any chance sign up for a monthly car wash service? That's how they read your subscription
