It was just the two inch drop that I bought at a local hardware store, and I put it on ‘upside down’. I don’t remember the brand, maybe a Curt?

I rent the 6x12 a few times a year. 2" ball, 2" rise makes it about perfect.

I'd say at least a half dozen times or so. I'd ask at oil changes, and then the past 6 months or so I'd call and ask for an update every once in a while. Obviously it's not something I'm super worried about. They dropped the ball, and they owned up to it. It's all good.

Between being back ordered, whatever ransomware attack crippled all sorts of car dealers, and apparently a fair bit of turnover at my local parts department, I’ve finally been notified that my replacement side curtain airbags have arrived at the shop. I think the recall was originally published...

Samesies. I love the security it provides, and I like the Ford logo on it because I'm a nerd. It also keeps an impressive amount of water out of the bed even in heavy rains. However.... almost all of the felt is gone leaving a gooey mess, and the vinyl or whatever it is that makes the top of...

You’re right, I need to give these another look. If you have that plugged into the usb port, and then plug the phone into the other usb port to charge, does the phone CarPlay supersede the wireless unit, or does it only charge the phone?

I've got the same problem in my '22. It's always been there. Multiple iOS versions, multiple head unit software updates, multiple cables (usb and usb-c) and it's still a problem. And that's if CarPlay starts up on the first try, too. Sometimes it'll take 4-5 minutes, or multiple reseatings of...

Yeah, I’ve gotten it a couple of times. It’s always a brief message, but it’s either been a while since it’s happened, or it’s brief enough that I don’t notice it. Just a little quirk, not a big deal.

If you look at the windshield where the wipers sit when they’re turned off, you’ll see a small heating grid similar to the defroster grids in the rear window of most vehicles. It’s supposed to heat up and melt the ice that are on the wipers when the wipers are sitting there. In my experience...

I've had some oddities, too. Every once in a while, I get a message on the dash that tells me to push the clutch in to start the vehicle. Sometimes the chimes come through the stereo speakers, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the radio works, sometimes it doesn't. Nothing serious, but it's not...

There's a TSB related to this. The 'fix' is BS if I'm being honest: SSM 51217 2022 Maverick – Brake Service Mode Inoperative Some 2022 Maverick vehicles may exhibit the brake service mode is inoperative when using the Workshop Manual (WSM) procedure. To avoid this condition, do not use...

Just finished installing this on my XLT. I wired it into the same switched power that my dash cam is running off of, and it works great. There’s no need for constant power to retain garage door info. I ran the power down the passenger side A-pillar to the fuse panel, and hooked up there. There’s...

You need the little funnel if you're fueling up from a gas can, not from the pump. And the way I read it, he keeps several gas cans around, but doesn't like the gas to get old, so he'll fill his vehicle up from the cans every once in a while to cycle through it. I never saw where he said that...

My Ford branded hard roll up does the same thing. The tailgate will sometimes freeze to it, too. I’ve learned not to count on the bed in cold weather. 🤷‍♂️

If memory serves me correctly (I'm on my 2nd glass of wine) those were always 'added cost' colors, but the build sheets for whatever reason didn't reflect that for a period of time. That's what kept me from going with Hot Pepper Red on mine when I ordered it in '21.

I’ve noticed that my drivers door locks itself every once in a while. Just another one of the electrical quirks I’ve come to accept…

Hybrid only. Ecoboost battery is under the hood.

It doesn’t lock it into first gear, but it holds lower gears further into the rpm range. It’s useful for things like engine braking down a long steep hill. That being said, I haven’t used it once.

Nope, I’ve got an ecoboost and the same issue/design is there.

I saw the other thread that was posted, and I still have no idea why that seat displays differently. I've just left is as being one of life's mysteries... If I do happen to learn anything, I'll be sure to pass it along. 🤷‍♂️
