I use a pet hammock that has a solid bottom for my 50# + english springer spaniel. It has sides with straps that wrap around front and rear headrests and the side rear hangers above the window. Keeps the drool off and helps keep him from jumping into the front seat. Still have to vacuum...
I asked to see the barrels because I was basically touring the local dealership after basically firing the dealership that used to do service on my other fords. It is Motorcraft.
There are a lot of RR's on Cars.com and other searches in California. You can put in a distance from your zip code and keep expanding that distance.
Most seem to have very high ADM's, but one could try to contact the ones online that are at or near MSRP and try to find out if they are in-stock...
I do find it comical that, when I schedule service/oil change at the dealership online, I have to choose "off-brand" synthetic.
When I ask the service tech, in person, he says they only use Motorcraft and they can't change the "off-brand" description, so most everyone asks them about it...
I believe Royal purple has an engine break-in oil, which is basically conventional (non-synthetic). The ford technician suggested using the conventional motorcraft during break-in, at least.
I kept the conventional for break-in and later changed (around 3,300 miles) to full-synthetic...
Hopefully by that time. They really keep things under wraps until they are ready to release info. Even Ford authority is just speculating, as of 1 week ago.

Anyone with a 2024 RR considering ordering a 2025 for themselves or wife?
Carfax valuations for low-miles RR's are still sitting in the low $60k's.
Checking my piggy bank. I wonder what kind of mark-up we will see on the '25's. +$3K or more?
The steering wheel heat control says it uses a sensor, but I think the heating element is similar to self-regulating heat trace cable (snow/ice melt cable). As the wheel heats up, the heating cable heating element pathways change automatically so it calls for less current (amps) and less heat...
The Ford technician said mileage is an indicator, but the actual engine hours can suggest doing the changes at less than the recommended mileage. Current recommendations from Ford are (for synthetic) 10K miles or 450 engine hours. My choice for intervals is every 5K miles, but each owner can...
Nice looking grey. I see the stickers are gone already from your post/picks in this thread.

Anyone with a RR that plans to swap the KO3's for steel wheels and snow/ice tires for winter driving.
I know the K03's are severe snow-rated, but it is the ice performance I question.
Thoughts and comments welcome.
On my older F-150 (even with limited-slip diff) and mazdaspeed3 (FWD only), I...
I wonder if anyone who has received their 2.7L Ranger checked to see if these were factory-installed on this job?
Too lazy to search all the various threads mentioning the braces.
My brother wants a Leer Topper on the RR he recently acquired, but they can't seem to get the braces, either, and...
I was too lazy to inquire further but thought someone interested could try to reach out and ask if their "advertised" price is real or a scam "bait and switch". When they advertise and list the MSRP and then list "our price" as over $3K under MSRP, that should be the price you pay.
Just like...
Saw a RR at a little over $3K under MSRP. Not sure if their website is misleading, but it did mentioned recently arrived.

The argument for not buying now is that you keep use of that money for a while longer.
The argument for buying now is that by the time you buy it later, the warranty price may be higher.
With 1,100 or more for a replaced LED headlight assembly, a lot more expensive high-tech things, and...
In the previous gen forum, someone did mention:
Same with my '22 both ACN and ESE are disabeled from factory

Agreed - WTF
The dealer in Florida that now has it probably paid around $5-8K+ at auction + maybe $7K in minimal repairs, and are now are trying to sell for a profit. (just guessing)
Might make a fun project car for someone if they could snag it for $15K or less. Parting it out could result in...
I tend to agree, especially when they reply to a new Ranger owner with something like, "Congratulations on your new Maverick. It looks great."
Probably have to submit a weekly report. Ford does want to know what consumers think, which is why they participate and/or monitor forums. They probably...
