  1. 2025 Big Bend— What happens to heat/A/C/defrost if the screen stops working?

    This has been my argument for years! Items that are safety related should be maintained as tactile manual controls. I know where those controls are and I do not have to take my eyes off the road to use them. Lots of discussion on these issues lately and I have recently seen articles suggesting...

  3. Roof rack and box

    https://www.princessauto.com/en/16-cu-ft-rooftop-cargo-carrier/product/PA0008924243 Might be able to find locally under the brand name but this unit has TONS of lockable storage and opens from either side. I am using Amazon cross bars as well although the hardware needs replacing after 3...

    4 years in April for me, and the BB is still going strong!

    When you live in the great white north, you do all of those weekly!😆
  6. DIODE DYNAMICS HITCH MOUNT LED POD WITH 4 PIN CONNECTER

    Some great additions and discussion to the thread including the very professional work that Quashish shows however, unless the installation is done by an approved Ford Upfitter with an approved method, any "splicing" into the factory wiring harness with non-approved methods that cause damage to...
  7. DIODE DYNAMICS HITCH MOUNT LED POD WITH 4 PIN CONNECTER

    Hi Jack, I personally would not use the pod as you found out, it senses a "trailer" connection and therefore disables certain diving assist features you may want. Additionally, "tapping" into wiring is always risky and not recommended unless there are "plug & Play" connectors. Some companies...
  8. it's time for a replacement windshield. Where's the best place to get it?

    Got that right! It's been a long discussion with the insurance company....thank goodness for the dashcam!
  9. it's time for a replacement windshield. Where's the best place to get it?

    On windshield number 5 now, all done through SpeedyGlass, all OEM spec'd glass and re-calibrations done at the time of install without any issues. Fortunately, all covered under enhanced glass coverage, just paid token deductible.
  10. Can anyone identify what this noise could be???

    Check the grommets under air cleaner box, there are 3 of them, b if one is removed you develop a rattle like that, just had mine fixed after an oil change which accidentally dropped one off when changing the filter.
  11. Best Aggressive A/T Tires Tested in Snow & Ice

    I have to tip my hat, this confirms everything I have been following for years! Nokian Outpost ATs for spring, summer and fall, then Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded for winter in my area.... you can climb wall with those!! LOL
  12. Towing small Aluminum bass boat total weight about 1,500lbs ?

    Not a Bass boat, but I regularly tow a small camper trailer around 500kg (1100lbs) and have not seen or experienced any issue so far other than a slight decrease in fuel economy, which I expected.
  13. Wires hanging out...

    Doesn't sound like an honest dealer or service rep. They should be able to detail all work and areas that accessed for service. Not only that, they should be checking; as a quality control process, all work and that all vehicle systems are working properly prior to releasing the vehicle back...
  14. Question...

    Well that was mighty nice of them! How much mileage did they put on? I note mileage in and out for service (the dealer should also do this and note it on the work order - Ford's policy) and I have never had them put on more than 10-15km (6-10m)in testing. They have never filled my tank....LOL :)
  15. I am being asked to trade in my 23 badlands for a 25

    Should a little on the low ball side to me. With the way the market is currently, dealers are hot for quality used vehicles and you seeing resale value go up significantly. with the mileage on your vehicle, I would expect mid 20's or higher.
  16. Auto dimming headlights

    Use the feature alot as we live rurally. Works fine 99% of the time, however some bright yard lights close to the road seem turn them off occasionally
  17. Transceiver Installation thread (Ham, CB, GMRS). Radio unit and antenna installation on Bronco Sport

    Nice install! I did something similar with my Icom ID-880H for head location. My xcvr is in under the rear deck by the spare tire. Good choice on running the power direct to the battery. I have done the same and used a 50amp disconnect breaker in the engine compartment to run heavier cables to...
  18. Something new, but when.

    Hmmmm, I'm torn on this....Good info Steve, and appreciate the topic. As you may have seen previously, I am dead against anything that distracts a driver's attention from actually driving and the deletion of tactile controls for vehicle operation, which in my opinion is a huge safety issue. As...
  19. Left Rear Running light not illuminated. I was told by Ford Service Rep. That I have to replace the entire unit, which I did still not lighting up, a

    I see you're in Thunder Bay, drop by Pinewood Ford, I'm sure they could find you an answer PDQ.
  20. SLATE Truck revealed as modular SUV & Pickup. Priced under $20K after incentive

    Got me there, I do like my tunes while I drive. We're lucky up here to see a basic EV for anything under $40k these days, and yes the range is definately a draw back. Nothing in the truck market for near that cheap here right now.
