Does a ranger raptor track my driving?

You can ask your Ford Technician to turn it off, if I’m not mistaken

Nope

think some of you can use this.

Nope. You can pretend it doesn't exist, but it's well documented and easy to find. For some, it's easier to pretend and not learn the truth. I get that.

In my 2023 f350 it is easily disabled by disconnecting 4 quick disconnects from the modem located behind the felt backline behind the passenger seat. I don't know where they are located in the ranger as I have not gotten mine yet(on order) but I will be disconnecting it immediately.
This disconnection of the modem did NOT bring up any codes or lights of any sort, the only thing you will lose is all connected services to include OTA updates and any kind of ford pass garbage they try to tell you is useful.

Could you please post about this once you've done in the RR?

I was literally asked by my technician if I want him to turn off their ability to see all of the information on my truck remotely. You should maybe get a better technician

I can tell you things I can't do, too.

There is a program they use that can monitor all of your live DTC’s and vehicle data. If they can turn it on and can be turned off. He showed it to me but whatever you say.

If you put a Blue Oval on that tinfoil hat then Ford will sell it as a fully licensed product.

Are you seriously this ignorant? There is a little message that pops up periodically on the infotainment screen that says your driving info is sent back to Ford.

My point is who cares? I’m driving back and forth to work and going on the occasional trip. Why do I give two shits if someone is paying attention to that.
I’m concerned more about other things.

You implied I said it was a conspiracy. Here’s your sign dumbass.

I mean, if there’s a way to interrupt or destroy Ford’s ability to transmit the data then they also wouldn’t be able to receive it. There must be some way to do this since antenna is involved. The question is whether you pay some price for doing so, like the truck throwing error codes or some such.

What is the tin foil hat picture supposed to represent if not "that's a conspiracy theory"? Why post that image?
