Normally I try to stay off the local “summer roads” in NE Washington this time of year, they are unmaintained raw dirt farm tracks. The soil is clay and can be very deep in low spots where water collects. It was sunny and reasonably warm, so I went for it. The stock tires worked surprisingly...

Call me stupid, but I don’t understand the design of the battery positive terminals. How do you access the main post clamp bolt? Is it the vertical 8mm nut just inboard from the post, the yellow arrow? Do you have to remove all the hold down and plastic bits? This is not my pic: I want to add...

This applies to aluminum spacers which are not properly sealed. My RR has a Go Fast Campers Topper and their spacers have a problem for sure. This is after just 8 weeks and some mountain passes with deicer on the road surface. Please read this thread for more information and a solution...

EDIT 05/21/25: I bought the harness here: … https://www.mastercrafttruckcaps.com/store/Truck-Cap-T-connector-style-Wire-Harness-Leer-300200-p696351783 I need to connect my new third brake light on my Go Fast Camper Topper, I plan to use the Leer harness to tee into the OEM trailer brake wires...

Surely there has been a thread about this, Search is useless. I can't find the recommended method, it doesn't just unhook as you would expect it to. Thanks, John Davies Spokane WA USA

https://k9ballistics.com/collections/car-travel/products/tough-rip-stop-dog-car-seat-cover This is a really heavy duty unit, compared to the typical Amazon ones. It has large straps and buckles, and the fabric feels like it would actually protect against a dog's claws. The only issue is that...

FIRST DRIVE: Is the New 2.7L V6 Ford Ranger REALLY That Good? John Davies Spokane WA USA

This is with the seat back in the NORMAL position, not lowered. I haven’t tested that method yet. https://www.seatbeltextenderpros.com/ I ordered two long adjustable ones, the RR model does also fit my wife’s 2022 Acura RDX. Shown is a 24 gallon (medium) Action-Packer, about $40 online...

I haven’t found a clock app that will do this. I do use “The Clocks” app on my iPhone, but it doesn’t use CarPlay. I would prefer it to be default in the Ford Quiet Screen mode, which I use often when not navigating with a map. My iPhone: The new Denali does it beautifully…. I think it looks...

Just another data point in this stupidly complicated issue. None of the three Ford dealers near Spokane have a body shop as part of their businesses, Yesterday I talked in depth to one service advisor face to face and showed him the installation instructions for the Raptor Bed Reinforcement Kit...

My wife took the RR to the box store, I tried to follow her progress from home…. I was also using Apple Find My to locate her iPhone. Location showed the truck parked here, then running, then a hundred yards down the steet. That location FROZE until she reached the store 4 miles away, then I...

Every time I fill the tank, about a pint leaks out and leaves two large puddles on the floor, like a poorly trained puppy. I suspect that the rubber seal where the filler spout attaches is bad. I can just add silicone sealer there, but before I proceed, I thought I would check to see if anybody...

I dislike the unobtanium factory cargo rail system, it looks as if it would be dead simple to through-bolt track sections to the inside edges of the plastic trim, into the steel. You would just need to add spacers of the correct thickness to prevent the plastic from getting damaged. Adding a...

They added a 270 pound Go Fast Camper to their new RR, and immediately drove it hard on a technical trail in Colorado. Then they learned the bad news about the bed load limit. And all the video commenters get ugly and attack Ford. This is such very bad public relations for Ford. They just need...

https://rokblokz.com/collections/truck-car-mud-flaps/products/ford-ranger-raptor-2024-mud-flaps I have been waiting for gravel protection before testing my RR on the local farm roads, it has been a long wait. I chose the XL size which are about 1” taller and 1” wider, I figured I could always...

Edit 09/13/24: related discussion: Dealer says take truck to body shop Edit 08/06/24. I just now got this email from Ford USA: “This item is out of stock with no estimated time of arrival.” Edit 08/06/24 as per an email with Jake, australianonlinecarparts.com has 9 kits in stock as of this...

This is written for gear heads like me: “Yet four years into production (seven years if you include its technical debut with Lincoln) little is known about what makes Ford’s twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost tick—and not even Ford is very forthcoming with details. Upon taking ownership of a ’22 Explorer...

The above picture is the standard size, the XL is 1” wider and 1” taller. https://rokblokz.com/products/ford-ranger-raptor-2024-mud-flaps John Davies Spokane WA USA

I am a little disappointed in my OEM high beams. The lows are fine with the fog lights on… My wife’s Acura RDX PMC Edition (LED) lights are noticeably better, and my old Land Cruiser 200 with upgraded halogen bulbs in the stock housings was better too… Neither vehicle really needed extra...

Any ideas? I want to mount two Lightforce Striker 7” round lights and would prefer not to have to manufacture it. Some thing like this would be great,I don’t mind ordering from another country. And I specifically do not want a full brush guard that comes down over the bumper ,or a license plate...
