Last couple days ford started sending me text to my mobile phone trying to get me to make an appt. Since I have this extended warrant for dealer demos that gives me a free rental I made an appt.
Stiction is something real you have to deal with in motorcycle suspensions. the seals and bushing cause stiction which makes the movement of the suspension harder to start moving as the suspension changes direction. Once the suspension is moving then the custom valving controls the oil flow...
On every RV I have owned, if you take the carrying capacity of the 4 tires, PLUS the tung weight, you would find the GVWR of that trailer. But this Jayco is not that way, I assume only because they don't sell tires with that low of a carrying capacity.
great replies.
I Think I had the lane assist turned off, but I do use the cruse control all the time towing (for the auto speed adjust, living in Central Florida that is nice with all the built in speed traps).
I leave the radar turned with Cruse and adjust the following distance all the...
in my trailer tow section of Sync screen there is a switch for auto sway control. When this is on, IF the truck does something to react to something it saw as "sway" does it display any kind of warning light?
truck is a 2023 F150 with the large cab and the short 5 foot something bed with 20"...
update. I replaced my old Reese head / chain bar system with a new Curt 4P sway system. We installed it at the same level as the old ball and the hookup assistant worked. but because the shank was shorter and there is no way my tailgate will open flat, we figured lets raise it 1.25" to level...
it worked with my old hitch shank, but that one was still too low. So this new one is high enough plus 1 or 2" longer. I think they come in (from pin hole to center hole of head mount bolts) 8", 10" 12" and 14". I moved from 10" to 12" I think.
Picture one of these below, sticking out of the rear hitch, but the ball height is 26" high. My shank is pointing up and not down so I am in the UP offset, and the ball is sticking up hither than the top of the the shank. Plus its sticks out long enough from the receiver so I can open my...
The WD hitch receiver I have been using for years on every other truck I have owned was too low on the new F150 for our new small Jayco Jay flight (26" ball height) I was about 2" short. And since I could not open my tailgate (even after turning the jack motor) I figured I would buy a new WD...
got the new 2" hitch (12" from center of receiver hold to center of holes for head). I sill had to turn my power jack so I could open tailgate. but a new problem came up, when using pro trailer to hook up to ball I go through the steps, get close, press button, tell it no trailer is hooked up...
The bars are 750 lbs, I think I have 1000 lbs bars laying around also. IMHO (been towing stuff for 40 years) moving hitch back 4" will be OK.
Hell I used to flat tow a Jeep liberty with a 4' (yes Foot) extension behind my 2018 Ram dually with a +5000lb Arctic Fox 990 truck camper on it. and if...
I need to replace the shank for my weight distribution hitch as I need a 26" ball height and my current hitch, with shank down my max is 23", with shank up my min is 28"
anyway I see the shank I need, but I need to pick my measurement from my Pin to center of shank measurement (how far it sticks...
I traded in a 2022, 2wd, 3.5 v6 with 3:55 gears. Every day driving 18.1mpg
2023 4wd 3.5 powerboost v6 with 3:73 gears, doing same every day driving 21.3mpg
I really did not expect this kind of difference.
I had it setup on my 2012 for my Pontoon boat, it worked great until an update was pushed. next time I hooked up it told me I had to go through the setup process again. I have not used it since.
Now my 2023 has it and I have a new RV coming home maybe this weekend. Maybe I will activate it...
I was just coming over here ask questions and I found this. I am looking to carry Two 65 lb bikes. (e bikes). I came up with 2 choices, both use those blocks where you pull the front tire and put the fork into those blocks that clamp onto the front forks with quick release sets.
1: build a...
Anybody run a powerboost in the loose sand like the ramps to get onto the beach at the Outer Banks of NC? I see some posts about sand. I have some experience with this in my old 2006 Jeep Liberty but that is gone now and I might take the truck out onto beach at Ocrakoke this summer.
I seem to...
