Has anyone noticed that when they crank the temperature up to high that the screen greets you with a friendly 'hi' instead of letting you know it's set on 'high'?
That's just wrong. Lol. That's like when places use the spelling "thru" instead of through. :headbang:

one that keeps getting me is after a rain the top of the tailgate holds water so that once you open it the water that pools up dumps on your feet

You need the tailgate damper then...the water wont dump on your feet, it will just trickle and you have ample time to tuck and roll out of the way
lol got one already, still dumps

Hi Jeff,

When I open my tailgate which has a damper, I get the Arizona sunshine spilling over my feet! :sunglasses:

I've noticed that the two 12v covers on the center console keep popping open. Poor design.

Also, what is up with the large opening in the lower grill? I assume it is for maximum airflow, but it looks like a part is missing and is a great garbage collector. I found a plastic shopping bag in mine recently. Couldn't Ford have put some sort of grill over it?

So, it's not just mine. I feel better now. Every time I get the right one to stay closed, the left pops open, then I get the left one to stay closed, and . . .

Is there a way to turn them around so they flip down and not up ? Any time I reach into the cubby, I lift one of them.

I have dash cam plugged into one and the other stays shut so have not noticed a problem.

I bought a 2012 F150 Ecoboost and remember that a front license plate holder on the Ecoboost f150s was offset to not block air to the intercooler. The non-Ecoboost trucks had them in the center. I wonder if that is the reason.

My 2017 2.7TT had a centered front plate.

1: Hate that infernal auto-stop and start. In the rare event I forget to hit the button it will invariably try to get me in a wreck due to having to start the engine first.

2: The brakes feel spongy like they have air in the lines. When pedal is pushed quite a ways down, the brakes work well but the spongy feel is really driving me nuts. Are all the Rangers like that?
