  1. Battery replacement at 25k miles (2024 XLT)

    Gonna run the charger for about 5-6 hours then take it on a half hour cruise. Then will check it the next day and see if charge is still low. If so, off to the dealer, as we have 36 month 36K bumper to bumper warranty.
  2. Battery replacement at 25k miles (2024 XLT)

    I just started getting deep sleep mode notices on my Ford mobile app. I also only drive short trips, rarely more than 25 miles, and usually less than 10 and not every day (retirement luxury) SO...I assume I should pull out the old Sears Automatic charger and set the toggle to 10Amp. Will...
  3. Side Curtain Recall

    No, I didnt type it right...just the curtain shields. They were missing on both sides. Sorry for my typo.
  4. Side Curtain Recall

    Got the Lariat back around 3PM the following day. Side curtains were replaced, no evidence of any damage other than very minor looseness on one end of driver side trim, actually I might have done that myself when installing dash cam. (they also did not disturb my cam wires, as it is still...
  5. Side Curtain Recall

    Finally brought the truck into Ford, they determined the airbag shields were missing, and the truck was "in recall" for repair. This was 7AM, and now it's the next day at 11AM and they still have my truck. BUT...I had added in a warranty issue for repair. The serpentine belt was showing very...
  6. Side Curtain Recall

    Oh no! That's why I think taking lots of pictures before you hand over your expensive vehicle to any dealership is probably a good practice. Might be tough to prove. Best of luck to you.
  7. Side Curtain Recall

    Wow... had to be fairly heavy whatever made that ding. I had my truck in a while back due to a fan belt blowing off and I took LOTS of photos beforehand. Hope they fix it right if you go that way. I would worry about matching as it looks like you have one of the upgraded paint colors too.
  8. Side Curtain Recall

    So I assume no headliner removal...? 30 minutes gotta be a record, glad to hear that for you.
  9. Side Curtain Recall

    I am on the fence with the recall. My 24 Lariat sees very little road time, mostly for in town ventures to Home Depot as we restore a second home for my daughter. Our main errand ride is a 2025 RAV4 PHEV, we really like it. BUT back to the airbag thing, hate reading about damaged or poor...
  10. When the SiriusXM Trial Ends... Renew?

    I let the free trial end, and a week later I got actual paper mail delivered offering $4 per month for 1 year plus a bluetooth wireless speaker. Probably will go for that, 4 bucks pretty cheap, just put a reminder on my phone calendar to cancel before the $24.99 kicks in. That price is way out...
  11. Gas mileage on weekend trip (2024 Ranger XLT 4wd)

    Yeah, I gotta stop thinking about the mileage. Thats not why I buy my vehicles (heck, I've had 3 Vettes, and 2 kit Cobras so why should I care about gas???) Hope you get the one you love.
  12. Gas mileage on weekend trip (2024 Ranger XLT 4wd)

    I guess I got a gas hog. Only 850 miles so far, and nearly all are stop/go city traffic. I am showing 15.5 average, and even using ECO most days. I really do not have a heavy foot either. I still love the truck though.
  13. How to disable backup camera grid lines?

    I never liked the grid lines in my 2015 Vette, and the same goes with my 2024 Ranger Lariat. For the life of me I cannot find how to disable the grid lines...am I missing something simple?? Or is it set and no option to do that...
  14. XLT versus Lariat

    I chose the Lariat as I could really tell the difference in several things. The sound system for sure, also I do like getting spoiled with heated steering wheel..and to me there is a big difference in the seats. Sure, not really top grade leather but they are definitely wider and feel more...
