My range bag has 2 TQs and the same IFAK. Then the additional TQ and IFAK in the center console. At work I carry a TQ on my duty belt and a Dark Angel Medical Blue Line Trauma Kit into my cargo pocket. I always make sure to have some sort of access to medical equipment while I'm out and about...

I tossed the top tray but kept the bottom one. In the space below I keep an IFAK and TQ. I don't keep so much stuff in here that I felt it necessary to have 2 trays plus that bottom compartment. This is pretty much the extent of what I keep in there besides the occasional business card or something.

+1 for the non-branded Covercraft. I do wonder how well it does compared to some of the cheaper options out there. I will say that Covercraft is kind of a PITA to store when not in use. I usually set it on my backseat, but if I have passengers (which isn't often), then it comes a question of...

Had to drive to Portland today to run some errands. Grabbed a burger in The Dalles and stopped at the John Day Dam to eat lunch. Saw a bunch of super scoopers that kept landing in the Columbia River to fill up since there's a bunch of wildfires near Mt. Hood. Pretty cool to watch. Never seen...

Ethanol has been used in gasoline for decades now. Manufacturers have specifically designed the engines with this in mind. The extra 5% shouldn't make any measurable difference in carbon build up, but may result in an ever so slight MPG reduction because ethanol isn't as energy dense as...

Oregon checking in. I don't see many 6G Rangers in my region of NE Oregon/SE Washington. A lot more of the 5G Rangers floating around here, still in the minority compared to full size trucks though. I had a co-worker with a 6G but he recently upgraded to an F-150 because he needed more towing...

I've owned one car with leather seats in my life. All it took was one summer of dealing with that to know I'd never do it again. I have the cloth seats in my XLT. If you aren't already, maybe using a sunshade will keep the heat from baking your leather seats? I use one now even though I have...

Lot's of interest here for early plate designs. Not the type of replies I expected!

I saw a news article talking about how Utah completely redesigned all their plates (click here to see a gallery of the new designs). I'd be curious to know what plate designs everyone likes? It could be standard or specialty. On my Ranger I use the Oregon disabled veteran plate because it...

As others have said, this is common across all Ford models. I think it has to do with whatever device measures the ambient temperature. My wife's car (2025 Nissan Rogue) is also usually off by 3-4 degrees, but corrects to within 1-2 degree once you're out driving around. I think its just cars...

First thing I did was install some Husky all weather floor mats and mudflaps from RokBlokz. I'm still debating what I want to do with the bed but at this point I'm leaning towards spraying it and doing a TPE bed mat. Tonneau cover is on my to-do list for later, but that'll be all I plan to do to...

I was just thinking about this the other day. I have not seen the funnel anywhere in my truck - admittedly I haven't looked very hard. Maybe later today I'll go dig around and report back if I can find it.

I have no idea what the R button is. I don't see anything on my steering wheel that has a letter R.

I don't mind the ACC. I feel like the automatic braking is slightly more aggressive than I'd like. What really annoys me is the lane assist. I wish I could toggle it so I could turn on cruise control without it activating lane assist. I have all the settings turned down as low as possible but...

It's like prison. They have to make sure the right person is getting let out. Make sure you file for your VA rating!
