I had a tire rotation and re-roadforce balance done to my KO2s. I've only driven 5000 miles since I had them installed in July '23. I also had the brake fluid flushed and replaced.

65 seems like the sweet spot for most. But many take it way too early at 62 because they say "what if I die"? I always say "what if you live"? :oops: Breaking even is the least of my concerns, when you're dead you're dead who cares :question:

I know several who took it at 62 and now in their 70's (and older) and regret it because their checks are so much smaller and now they have medical bills they didn't count on having. Unless you have medical issues and/or a bad family medical history it's better to wait as long as you can.
To add to that, waiting can also benefit your surviving spouse when you kick because the survivor’s benefit here is something like 60% of the deceased spouse’s pension. So if you wait, that will be higher too.

Of course, some folks really need it early from a cash flow standpoint. I guess that’s why they’re as flexible as they are.

I’m just glad they’re in place.

Thanks David,

Maybe it’s an iPhone thing but there is no ability to add an Owner Service Record in my app. :(
Oh, I did the entries on a laptop via Ford.com ...but they do show up in the app, haven't tried from the app yet.

Duke, I have an iPhone and was finally able to add my last oil change on the app.

What version of the app shows on your profile page Bob? I have no “Add” or “+” button on the service page - what steps were involved?
It says v6.3.0. On mine I click the wrench at the bottom of the Home Screen. Next screen, scroll down and click service history. After that opens, top right corner has Add button.

I noticed David’s had a button but mine has nothing when I go through those same steps…

I have my phone set to dark mode. Hope you get it figured out
FYI - the feature is not available to Canadian residents - no explanation as to why not, when or if we’ll ever get it.

Oh well, they said I could do it on the interwebs.

I know there is a “what did you get” thread but I figured we could start a what did you do to your Ranger today thread because I have enjoyed them on other forums...

so I’ll start off with this...

I got some metallic gray vinyl off amazon to try and match the factory Magnetic gray so I could wrap some pieces on the interior. So for a little test I did the door trim below the window switches to see how i like it. I’m happy with how it turned out, it’s not a perfect match (little light) but I think it looks good and breaks up all the black on the door.

What do you guys think?
