Actually I left it on the back of the Ranger and drove off. When a message popped up on the screen saying phone connection was lost I knew what I did. I turned around and found it in the tire path of a pretty busy road.
I left mine on the rear bumper of a U-Haul once, made it safe after driving 20 miles. still perfectly in place on the bumper.

that’s because a u-haul can’t accelerate fast enough to displace the phone. #RangerPower

Just activated a new phone with Andriod 14. (see carnage of previous, but not very old phone) App seems a little more responsive, albeit the weird layout.

Funny James my Phone slipped out of my pocket and I ended up running over my phone with my Ranger. LOL it looks just like yours.


Regarding the topic of the new Ford Pass app it sucks bad. Mine used to have the tire pressure and that is no longer on it. I know it's not 100% accurate but it was nice. The app is useless now for me.

not a fan of the new app. mines slower and they took away most of the features. its not worth a download or privacy invasion anymore. i mean come on. remote start and door lock unlock... cars were doing that in the 1980s from a key fob. piss on ford.

Lucky! I think when the soft tonneau started flapping in the wind it probably launched it.

Tire psi is under vehicle health now. You click service and then click vehicle health.

Weird, here's mine.

I'm probably wrong but I figure the mileage estimate is what they think I'll drive in the next year?

Look under Service/Vehicle health. It's still there on mine.

Edit: I see I'm the 3rd person to reply the same thing. I'm always late to the party! :)

I have to say, I wish Ford would build into the app interface an alert when the vehicle is moved/started etc.

would make it easier to show up at the service desk of the dealer and say look dickholes, you didn't touch the truck for 2 weeks, and only test drove it a few miles. . . . err, wait, wrong thread. lol

Your location status is probably disabled in Sync…
