Glad you mentioned that. Software changes can be a pain.

Over the last four years I've had a Ford, Chevy and a Jeep. So I read Ford, Chevy and Jeep forums. There is no doubt in my mind that we are all guinea pigs with expanded software from automakers trying to get all these new software glitches under control. Back in March I got a powertrain and...

Pretty hard to believe that a block heater won't be available until the 2nd quarter of 2026. They are needed in far northern U.S. states and Canada. My wife's parents retired to a cabin in far northern Minnesota and it would get down to -35 to -40F. Without a block heater your car probably...

I don't know of anyone who has done this. How much did you pay for that test? https://www.blackstone-labs.com/tests-price-list/

I'm in the Chicago suburbs. I read the Police roundup in the paper every week, and they issue tickets every week for people with window tint too dark. I have a black Ranger and would love darker windows, but it's not going to happen with the strict enforcement here.

Since I'm retired, going way back to when I was 16 to 20 years old (in the 70s). I think the only synthetic oil available was Amsoil, but nobody I knew used it. The most popular oil back then was 10w-40 Valvoline if you changed the oil yourself. 10W-30 Pennzoil if you had the dealer change your...

I'm glad to see people are not waiting for 10K miles :like:

I've been changing oil at the dealer every 3000 to 3500 miles. I'm so use to 3000 miles with my older cars. It's such a critical item that need to be clean.

Sad, but true.

Nope. I can screenshot the checkout page. I don't have Prime. I don't order much from Amazon. Don't know if that's causing it.

I went to buy one with the 20% off and I found no where to enter the 20RANG20 code

Not to mention I can see the transmission quickly dying pulling 20,000 lbs

I use the rubber car cup coasters, so I don't think it's a bad idea, but $17 is a bit high.

I have to agree with Black Shadow, you're really pushing the limit. A good rule of thumb is to stay below 80% of the towing capacity, which is 6000 lbs for the Ranger which is rated for 7500 lbs towing. I tow a 3500 lbs travel trailer and loaded I'm sure I'm around 4000 lbs. I wouldn't want to...

@Morningpride how fast were you going when you were towing? I drive from northern Illinois to southern Tennessee. 540 miles with a 3500lb travel trailer. It's a pretty flat drive, not many hills. Even though the speed limit is 70mph most of the way, I set the cruise control to 62mph. I haven't...

No disrespect intended for the person who bought a Weathertech rubber bed protector. That's what I originally bought for my truck bed. When I had plastic containers or a cooler with any weight on the Weathertech mat it became difficult to pull or push anything over the rubber mat. I got rid of...

Nice Work!

You are correct. It was never for 24-26 Raptors. Previous issues with other cars make me hesitant.

The Ecoboost 3.0L V6 still scares me with all the law suits on it

You are 100% spot on - ....random software glitches. These random software glitches are happening on all brands. My neighbor has a new car and the right headlight come on when he starts the car.
