    Yeah, testing is obviously important, and appreciated… After just putting on a 1000mile highway trip, did they never test the ā€œPre-collision alert systemā€ and associated sensors in a light rain? Or after catching a load of bugs the width of Iowa and Nebraska? I was getting really used to...
  2. Name Something Your Truck Hauled That Made People Stare

    Nobody stared at it really, but the fork lift operator at the sod farm didn’t believe a pallet would fit between the wheel wells… It’s was easy, but the first time doing ā€œtruck stuffā€ with my FFRanger! It does ride real nice with 1000#’s in the bed!
  3. Auto Start Stop (ASS) deactivate / delete / eliminator tool device for $18.00

    Hmm…I know nearly everyone has had good results with this one, and others…but I’m still kinda hesitant to plug a $20 dongle into the $$$expensive wiring harness….i just roll around in sport mode. It’s way more hooliganny, and shuts off the auto start stop. (And seems to get better mileage than...

  14. Wireless Apple Carplay - Text Message Question

    Mine (ā€˜24 Lariat) displays the little Red ball notification on the text app in the lower edge of the screen regardless of full view. Eg: if you’re using the full screen map you should have ā€œquick launchā€ apps along the bottom - I think these are auto selected based on last used - I usually have...
  15. Drive mode for light snow, slippery conditions (non-Raptor/4A)

    That’s sort of what I need to hear! I’m no stranger to 4x4’s, but I’ve heard a lot of ā€œyou’ll shoot your eye outā€ when it comes to THIS 4x4- and I haven’t had a part time system in a long time….so wasn’t sure of the self destruct settings on it… That and tires, for sure…thinking I’ll wear the...

  19. Has anyone tried this locking gas cap?

    Is fuel theft really that big of a problem? I’m truly interested, maybe I’ve missed something. I’ve never had a locking fuel cap on a car, and never felt the need to retro-fit one. The ease of use of the Easy cap is a benefit in my view…. In fact In the past I’ve removed locking filler caps...
