Every once and a while I notice it on my '24 XLT. For me I tend to notice it more on the highway, almost like the lane keep is on even though it isn't (at least it isn't supposed to be).
Well 💩...looking at those RVL instructions again you appear to be correct on going over the factory flares. I saw the notes about removing the fasteners and just assumed you were removing the flares (I'm a doer not a reader :LOL:)
Now I'm super disappointed in so much stuff...what a bunch of...
Fair questions with my fairly vague post.
1) While technically you are correct (otherwise Ford wouldn't have spent the money to install them) in practice the chances of getting a ticket for something like that, at least in my area, is basically zero. But to that point, I have thought about...
I am looking at the possibility of adding an aftermarket bumper to the front of my US market '24 XLT that would require the cutting of the fender flares. Unfortunately, the NA market trucks have a reflector/marker light in them that would be right in the cut path so I am looking to see what my...
Truck looks really good and everything seems proportioned right 👍
A couple of questions about the Husky flares. Did you install them yourself? If so, was it a pretty easy install and did it require any drilling or new hardware? Did you end up using the factory fender marker light to power the...
Typically Nelson Ledges, Mid-Ohio, and PittRace (RIP) but now that I have the trailer I'm starting to get further afield. This picture was from the National Corvette Museum track down in KY. Hoping to get to Pocono and maybe Autobahn.
Others have provided good feedback, but I will reinforce/add some notes:
You absolutely need a trailer brake controller at that weight. If you don't have the factory one, something like the REDARC Tow-Pro would be a good option.
With a travel trailer the frontal area could become a bit of an...
The wheel offset does not factor into the lug length, only the wheel design. Unless you are looking at some really off-the-wall unique wheel, almost everything on the market that will fit our trucks is going to work with the stock lugs.
The exception here would be the use of wheel spacers. Most...
I'm less worried about the sensors since I can see the holes in the bumper for them and those components are used globally, but the halogen vs LED fogs is a valid concern (I'd be swapping them out to aftermarket LED anyway). My biggest concern is with any of the frame/crash structure...
The suspension comment was very much in jest. I just emailed them to confirm that it is both actually available and that they have confirmed fitment on US trucks. I know Rival and possibly others have run into issues fitting Aussie parts on US trucks and before I get my hopes up too high I want...
Amazing find :shock: I didn't even realize they made bumpers. I wonder if they'd know of a place to get some suspension to accommodate the extra load 🤔
That's interesting that the article just got posted a few weeks ago but is about the '24 trucks. I don't know how much faith I have since in January of 24 Ford put out a big press briefing about having worked with ARB to develop all sorts of fun stuff and as of now, over 2 years later, not a...
For the short duration tows and trailer/vehicle weights you're talking about the 2.7 Ranger would honestly be fine, even with that frequency IMHO. Yes, an F150+ would likely tow better but you're going to get eaten up by fuel costs when you aren't towing and you'll lose maneuverability and...
While I do wish the pads on my XLT had more initial bite, the last thing I would be doing is putting ceramic pads on to improve that. The only thing I'd run ceramic pads on are a show car that I didn't want dust from to reduce washing time. When my Ranger gets a bit more miles on it or when I...
Nice setup. I went with the standard slim rail on my truck and just added a wireless backup camera display for my trailer to mine. Going to be installing a Diode Dynamics D-Switch panel on it soon once I get a chance to pull wiring
It's a bit of an optical illusion of how much of a drop it is, but it serves 2 purposes:
The crossmember noted in red is recessed in the middle where the bolts are. They could have spaced it out with washers but chose to bend the skid tabs into it.
The other function is that it brings the...
