These will likely be my next tires... but DAMN they are salty. I know tire prices keep ballooning, but $400 each? Ugh... remember when tires were $400 for the SET??
That definitely doesn't look like the Redline inserts

I think Florida and California have laws in place that makes purchasing a warranty from out of state illegal/invalid. So Granger can't sell them in those states
Haven't had to get mine replaced, but has a chip filled by Safelite a few weeks ago.
I have a glass rider on my insurance so any glass (or clear plastic) is a $50 deductible. If I do need a replacement for the RR or my wife's Lexus, I will be pushing for the dealer to have it done. There are...
Time to find a new dealer, and also contact Ford corporate. They are not allowed by law to deny warranty solely based on an aftermarket part.
Safelite replaces a LOT of windshields and most are not “factory” glass. Hell, most insurance companies won’t pay for OEM glass in most cases
Oh, and back to Trail Control. It is designed like off-road cruise control, so it is designed for uphill AND downhill speed control. But in that downhill scenario, it will absolutely use brakes. Sometimes excessively to keep the slow speeds. Hence 4LO to help the system out.
Unless the 10r60 is fully locking the torque converter and keeping it in that gear... then it isn't like a manual where the geartrain is linked mechanically from engine-to-axle. The computer is doing "things" to stop engine lugging and stall (in this case... engine braking).
It sure doesn't...
As was stated, Trail Control uses brakes. If you are going <10mph consistently down hill, you should 100% put the truck in 4LO to save the brakes and use the mechanical resistance of the drivetrain to allow the maintaining of speed.
It is one of the things I miss about my old manual...
I'm still sitting in perpetual-wait-purgatory. I will be on business travel for the next 2 weeks, and if it hasn't arrived by the time I get back I will be cancelling my order and searching elsewhere. As in not-RealTruck-elsewhere.
You have to be very careful with the Cerakote trim stuff. It is quite permanent so make sure you don’t get it on ANYTHING you don’t want it on forever. Like… forEVER. I used it on my top bed and tailgate rails, and probably will apply to the top of the bumper cover. But only ever use it on...
Based on my searching, there isn't a setting or calibration step in FORScan or other software like FDRS that can add an offset to the outside sensor, or to even recalibrate it.
Mine seems mostly accurate once moving, but like most vehicles it can be quite high (10+°F) when parked in the sun...
I haven’t tried to remove the tailgate on mine, but I think from a camper perspective the payload capacity isn’t very high. I’m assuming you are installing a super lightweight? Even those can get to the gross weight limit really quick once you add water, gear, and the meatbags sleeping in it...
I can confirm that the Glare-Free (Matrix) functionality works on a 2026 RR (once enabled in FORScan). Several weeks ago up in the mountains I was driving back over a windy pass in the dark and I could definitely see the segments going in and out with the car in front of me. Pretty cool
