2nd the wheel speed sensor comment from bgn.. that has popped up a couple times on the forum here. Might be an easy fix if you press them to get parts in quick
5 weeks old for you - if it was on the lot for a while before that you could get the dealer to test the battery as well
Throw on the overland rack, RTT, bumper/winch, bigger tires, rotopax/hi-lift/maxtrax and those tacos don't have much left for groceries.
As much as I'm a data nerd and fully support what you're collecting, what is your intended use case for a mid-size vs full-size? Must-have's (bed protection...
Couple aftermarket panels out there as well. Search for "Ausmotion" for a couple threads on a compressor mount on the passenger side (compressor between the bed walls) - or their website directly.
Otherwise just the cubbies under the seats. Or pick up a swing-out box or go the molle panel route
Yep 301 is heated power glass with manual fold. On the 301 description on the online build, but not clear on the "order guide" sheet.
Wallowa, for your 300/tech did you get heated? Power fold was stock 300, lamp/camera was tech, signals were 301 but I forget what side the heated glass fell to...
The 2019 5G released 2011 in Australia, facelifted 2015, current gen released 2022, PHEV in 2025, Superduty this year..
There will definitely be some mid-cycle updates, but I don't expect much for our NA market
I'd imagine post-torture they aren't stripping trim pieces off and checking every wire for rub/pinch points.. maybe an engine tear down at 500k gives them good data.
Without knowing what goes into all the recalls, hard to say if it would be found in testing anyways. Maybe the 3rd party block...
If you had one of the weird stubby e-shifters on the 24 you will go back to conventional. Securicode keyless went dealer add on?
Possibly no side steps if that matters to you. If you were J1 2024 with the J-braces it was all resolved. If either old/new have the bumper/bed step its an expensive...
Slightly worse mileage (rated 11-->12 L/100) in city average, but combination of new tires (8 lbs/corner), retractable with crossbars, winter fuel.
Geez.. the Mythbusters revisit episode was 2006! Definitely some improved aerodynamics since then.
Nice setup. How's the roll with the low-pro bars? Clear the rear ok but assume it gets too thick for the front bar?
With the quick releases, maybe only a minor inconvenience if you need it rolled back.. not sure if the XT4S is flexible enough to fold back on itself.
I had a 2014 XL F150 for a work truck, the dual glass tow mirrors were ported to a vent on the side of the dash, just a little foam gasket when the door was closed. Windshield defrost = side mirror defrost.
It also had crank windows. I don't miss that truck
If the Mav crossbars are wide enough, just a single Yakima Overhaul with whatever clamp set is needed then? Or Thule, Truxedo, Adarac, any of the Amazon specials should do you. Have you found what you need for the front bar?
There are a few threads with different setups to browse through...
Did they split the cameras out for 2025 J2 builds? I thought 360 was always included for Lariat trim in 2024/2025 - if you want the color match caps.
I don't remember which of the 301 trim or the tech package had the heat/signal/puddle.. tech for the cameras.
Not much outside of the recommended max tongue weight, still within payload, and without shock loading or the push during braking you'd probably end up with less stress than towing 5k up/down a fire road.
I ran Yokohama Geolandar G015s on work trucks for years (Canadian Rockies; forest service roads) for their winter performance + (milder) AT if that matters in your area. Rolled the dice on the new G018's and have been happy so far.
If you're just looking at groomed gravel to campsites kind of...
Both should have T-track kits, come in midsize bar widths and have some width adjustment (cover track spacing).. but yeah the Ranger doesn't always appear on North American vendor sites
@RealTruck should carry the Retrax, Elevate and Outpost/Overhaul, maybe they could confirm (and provide...
