I've experienced what you're talking about too. The audio control module in my Edge has slowly been failing, and sometimes the bings and bongs come from down in the dash rather than the speakers. I assume that's why it's been happening, anyway.
That's super helpful, thank you! You might be convincing me to consider the 270... your setup looks great, really functional.
Have you felt limited by the load limit of the 270? And have you ever needed to take it off for any reason? Was it simple to do?
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I've been trying to decide which model of Diamondback cover to go with.
One scenario I'm not really clear on is how it would work if I wanted to haul something tall in the bed next to the tailgate, or have something like lumber in the back resting...
Good to know. I noticed the HD is now available for the '26 Ranger, and the cross bin:

Would you say there is a big difference between 5,000 and 7,500 miles between changes?
My nearest dealer is 30 miles away, and sometimes I have gone closer to 7,500 miles between changes just because it's hard to make it out there right on time when life interferes.
Here's another more recent order in case it helps you decide whether to order or not:
Marsh Gray Ranger Lariat 2.7L
Ordered on 4/11
Received build date on 4/16 for the week of 5/25
Initially I asked for the spray-in bedliner as I was ordering, but the dealer left it off so the truck wouldn't...
I have a Ranger on order with a build date in late May. Does Ford normally fix issues on the line first when there's a recall? Or is it possible to have this recall when I take delivery?
