This really just shows how the Ranger needs a bigger 2nd row. Instead of being 2 inches LESS than the Maverick it should be 2 inches MORE. So about 40" would do it. That would put it right in the middle between the Maverick and the F150 SuperCrew.
For 22 and 23 model year, the hitch option was a huge production constraint for Ford. I had to drop the hitch and the hybrid to be able to get a truck within a year of ordering.
I have CC2 on the '14 Enclave Family Chariot. It has seen snow a few times despite driving in the Atlanta Metro. It definitely had more stopping power than other all-season tires in the snow. It also handles sand and rain well. I really don't notice any tire noise, but it is a Buick with the...

FIXED POWER TARGET: Turbo is more efficient at making power. It has less compression but offsets this loss by using the exhaust to stuff in air.
FIXED ENGINE: If you want to keep the same engine, but are willing to sacrifice power, then you can ditch the turbo and up the compression. The...
It might be regenerative braking that you are hearing. In a loose nutshell, the electric motor is spinning as a generator to slow the vehicle and use that energy to charge the battery. 20mph is also slow enough that you can probably begin to hear it over wind noise,
Try playing with the drive...
The engine bay isn't the best place to get noise reduction. dB per $ is best spent elsewhere. the fender well filler and shoving as much foam as you can between the dash and the firewall are the sports to start with.
I've got the red LASFIT lights in my taillights. Theya re very inconsistent. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Not always the same failure too. Sometimes it is running lights, sometime only turn signals. Each bulb also does its own thing.
I drove it through the rain today.
In all seriousness though, I wash it in the driveway with a pressure washer and rain x. We make it a family event. Kids are great for scrubbing wheels! They also love to aim the pressure washer. I operate the trigger and stabilize the operation.
It seems to me like this would have made more sense than the Lightning.
Towing with a Maverick is much less of an expectation when compared to an F150. I bet a bunch of delivery fleet Mavericks would excel in EV form. Small vehicles tend to be better suited for urban environments which is also...
AWD has a different rear suspension and different exhaust routing.
The underbody cavity cover fills a gap on the driver's side where road debris can shoot up and hit the back of the taillight. I got a second bed cubby on that side to fill the cavity. Works great. Just like the passenger side.
I think you would need to get a DSP to control the frequency into the 6x9. Mainly to take a load off of the front 6.5s and the sub. Maybe take the 70 - 130hz range from the 6.5s and give it to the 6x9. Slope upward from 70, peak at 100, slope down to 130. Have the sub take the lower 50-90hz...
Did Ford change the programming on the traction control? I went back and watched the TFL video when they took a '22 FWD Hybrid to the ranch. It seemed to be more aggressive grabbing the spinning wheels with the brakes.
Truxedo has a good rail and cover that are designed with each other in mind.
Elevate TS Rails + Sentry hard roll up. I think the Sentry is also compatible with the bed extender while the bakflip ones are not. (Yes, the Ford hard roll up is incompatible with the Ford bed extender)
