Have you driven a Mazda lately? You don't want this, and they have recently reversed course on their design.

Good thought. @72RangerXLT_Baker do you lock your doors at night? If you do, and the truck is doing with Kanuck describes, you should be getting the panic alarm. If you don't lock, you may be getting the "approach lighting" situation. I had to replace one of my door latch modules. When it...

When you guys are putting deadening material on your doors, do you do both inner and outer skins? Any concerns with creasing the exterior aluminum with the forces from the rolling process? I did both layers on my 19 Ranger, and I was very happy with the results. This truck doesn't need it as...

I took my grille out to wrap my bar. I wouldn't consider it an excessive amount of work to get a really good tight wrap. It's an afternoon job or less.

I had the wireless keypad on my 19 Ranger. It's garbage. After the battery died the second time I just removed it. I am assuming that's the same pad the '25 trucks are getting, and it's a tragedy honestly.

What, you guys don't call it the 213 Cleveland engine?

I would suggest one of these kits in whatever size your budget allows. They have a good assortment in a convenient case. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-VERSASTACK-Mechanics-Tool-Set/5014463547

This should be the real price...not a discount. I'm generally pretty happy with the ankle weight trick, and it works on roads proper BC wouldn't anyway.

Thank you. I did it. I'm not a "detailer" by any means. Just a quick clay bar and Meguiar's Ultimate Polish with a Walmart buffer.

Pull the trim piece off and put a dab of clear silicone under it in some key spots where you think rattles could be happening.

Boxlink is mostly useless. It looks to me like you have nearly the same functionality with less complexity and protrusion into the bed. Unless you have a specific need, I wouldn't go out of your way to install the old system.

After a wax job today

I have the yaw sensor but I have only tried the stickers. They work ok if the lighting isn't weird (alternating sun/shadows for example), otherwise your camera has a hard time seeing the sticker. If I were you I would give the stickers a try and see if you even care about using the system. For...

OBD Fusion (iOS app) has a fairly recent update that allows you to view PIDs through CarPlay. It is text only, no graphical gauges.

I would encourage OP to take 2-3 trips, short in duration and close in location, before taking off cross-country on your big summer vacation. There is a LOT involved in camping, even outside of the towing issues. You have to learn what accessories you need and develop a system, but you don't...
