I cannot tell for sure but looks like even up to the Lariat model has...HALOGEN amber rear and backup lights. Can anyone confirm? If so, a hell of a step backwards! Looks like the Raptor is full LED.

Guess I am lucky because a few young homeless cats have called the outside of my place home. They are quite the predators and spent a lot of time under my truck. Don't worry, I always scare them off when I start it. So there is your solution. Get some local predators!

What I have found is that you will have to put the temp to max/hot either using the driver's side temp control or on the screen. I agree it is a problem but that may be a fix. I have not had this exact issue but do have times where the air is not moving. This seems to be when the temp is set...

So a review now above 3300 miles. Performance is better and I have figured out to turn off the basic traction control for good performance above 4000RPM (it seems to detect slip maybe in the transmission and gets aggressive at reducing power during full throttle). The transmission is still a...

I recently traded in my 2011. It was a 4.0L manual with 157k miles extended cab Sport (the highest back then). It was a reliable unit but aged. KBB in early 2020 listed that vehicle as about 3500k trade in at then 140k miles. By May of this year, it was UP to 6500k on KBB with 156k miles...

So in a few hours, I will take delivery of a 2021 Lariat 2WD FX2. I will sadly watch as my 2011 Ranger 4.0L manual leaves on its way to get cleaned up and sold, hopefully to someone who needs it and will take care of it. As a bit of a eulogy, the 2011 has been very reliable with none of the...
