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 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?
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

Nope, I’m sure it’s a Ford thing (inventory or service). I have no services or subscriptions, toll lanes, etc. that would require such a thing.

You and @Grandaccess are right and there’s a black Tesla down the street that’s about ready for the Full Service Oil Change. ;)

When you say "black Tesla", do you mean one of these:

If so, then you definitely need to be a Good Samaritan and gift that "everything-confused" monstrosity a sense of actually being something.

It’s a sedan. If it was that, I’m afraid one of us would have to move and I like it here.

In the episode of ROADKILL Tank Smashes Prius. Mike Finnegan said about the Prius, "my God it's a speed bump." That being said, to me the Cyber Truck looks like it could be used for a mobile jump ramp lol.

Sorry for using A.I and the number on the sticker but this is what google had to say
Based on the search results, "E09430-US-W-001" appears to be a slight variation or partial reference to the Tageos EOS-430 UHF RFID paper sticker/label.
Here are the key details for the Tageos EOS-430 RFID label:
Type: Passive UHF RFID paper sticker/label.Target Application:
Primarily designed for retail, apparel, and item-level tagging.Frequency
Band: 860-960 MHz (Global).Integrated Circuit (IC): Commonly uses Impinj M730 or NXP Ucode 8/9.Protocol: EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C).Dimensions:
Antenna size is roughly \(71\times 8\text{\ mm}\) (\(2.80\times 0.32\text{\ in}\)), with a finished label size of \(74\times 17\text{\ mm}\) (\(2.91\times 0.67\text{\ in}\)).
Features: Certified for performance, often used for brand protection and inventory management

Is the mirror OEM?

Good info Robert. The mirror is OEM. I’m leaning toward this being a Michigan Assembly Plant tag more than a dealer service tag.
