I'm being serious. LCDs generally have an orientation that works with polarized glasses, and one that doesn't.

They oriented the display incorrectly. Tilt your head to the side 90 degrees and it should show up properly.

Borla has historically used 304 stainless for their exhaust tubing; at least for the vehicles on which I've installed them. That stuff looks new for a very long time.

Looks like no more water gets in there than when I hose my windshield off and open the door. I'd say that's sufficiently water tight.

I've had the trip computer going since about 200 miles, and now I'm just over 1,000. So far, my average is showing as 16.2. The transmission was still in it's learning stages, obviously, and for a while was hitting higher RPMs than I'd have chosen myself. I'll reset the trip computer soon and...

I had one from Auto Ventshade quite some time ago. I bought it after ending up in an area with an obscene amount of bugs; far too many for washers and wipers to handle. Later, I found myself in a cold weather environment that was about -15F at the time. I walked by the vehicle, my shirt...

I've never run their control arms, but I really, really like Superpro bushings.

If I had to actually use a pickup truck daily for proper work, I'd get the lowest truck on the market. The last thing I'd want is an off road package. That said, I might be prone to buy one and lower it, just to get the cool stuff.

Mine's currently called "Damn this stupid truck!".

If you have an option on any modern truck for bed steps that don't reduce ground clearance, go for it.

Zero rubbing on the road, or at full articulation?

If that mode mode selection switch assembly has it's own microcontroller, it could be a cause. That would have to be a programming defect, as the buttons on the assembly also function on their own; not just the rotating function of the switch. It is unlikely to be several physical defects at...

Airing down isn't just about safety. It protects beaches and trails. That's one of the reasons AWD vehicles have been disallowed on many trails. They'll get you from one end to the other, but at what cost? The level of tire aggression on the terrain itself is too high. You buy the expensive...

Keep them coming, folks. Even if Ford won't take the time to figure it out, we may find some commonality to feed them.

That's a bit of a silly cost-cutting measure. Just as the front, the rear of a vehicle communicates it's brand, overall design, and intent. A hell of a lot of marketing goes into that, as well as design and, eventually, engineering. I think it's foolish for them to not use fully lit tail...

They know, but they haven't done anything about it, yet. I've gone quite a bit of the way up the food chain, and I'm going to chase it as far as I can but, if there's no resolution soon, I'll have to get rid of the truck. It's a dangerous fault. They've stated directly to me that they don't...

I've got a thread on the vehicle shifting drive modes by itself, if you want to communicate your experience with others, in the hopes that the stack of people with those symptoms can get some kind of resolution. Yours is not the only vehicle with this problem, and nobody knows how to fix it...

They can say that all they want. It's nonsense. Once you're in bed with Google, for example, you're not directly "selling" it anymore. The customer is now going through numerous third-party contracts and information sharing. Ford may not ring it up at a cash register, but make no mistake...

Does the Watt's linkage feature spherical bearings or otherwise stiffened bushings? I love that rear suspension design. It's pretty much the best you can do for a solid axle, and it's been around over a century; but there's one drawback: It's generally got a lot of rubber. Stiffening up that...

That first 100 feet of Carolina beach on a hot, dry, and popular day has produced some of the most difficult sand I've encountered; and I've certainly handled my share of desert climates. You're not going to die if you get stuck, but you'll feel like it as the other people drive by and laugh. 🤣
