  2. HOW TO: Use a rear seatbelt extender to secure bulky cargo

    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...
  3. Can I get an ANALOG clock to show on my RR center display?

    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...
  4. J- Braces: Ford dealer says “we would take it to a body shop.”

    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...
  5. FordPass Connect Location does not track in real time, only when parked, sort of

    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...
  6. RR washer fluid tank leaks at the top when filled?

    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...
  7. Has anybody installed aircraft style L Track on the bed rails and bed floor?

    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...
  8. Fast Lane Truck guys get all contused about J Braces

    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...

  11. Article: INSIDE THE 400 HP, TWIN-TURBO 3.0L ECOBOOST THAT POWERS FORD’S EXPLORER ST

    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...

  13. Upgrade RR high beams by adding extra lights for HIGHWAY use

    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...

  16. Looking for a RR poly dash cover to kill sun glare!

    I am 0 for 2 so far - the Covercraft one and also the CarCoverUSA one do NOT fit, they are for the 2023 and earlier trucks that have a recessed cubby instead of a speaker. And the dimensions and general contours are wrong too. Don’t tell me that these look dorky, killing the sun glare is my...
  17. Found a nice center console organizer tray, red edged silicone pads for Raptor

    The OEM tray is a joke, it is tiny and WILL fall into the bottom of the compartment if you try to set it back carelessly. This one works great, is about 2" deep, so a big glasses case fits on its side, with lots of extra room for small stuff. The sticky red-edged silicone pads look great next to...

    Got this reply about my enquiry- is there a Raptor owner who could arrange to get your truck measured? They might give you a free set of covers,I am guessing on that part… but you could ask. John Davies Spokane WA USA “Unfortunately we do not have any covers available for the Ford Ranger...
