THIS! I have never gone to a Stealer once the warranty period is over and I no longer get free service. I have a neighborhood garage that does awesome work in a timely manner, not taking in your vehicle and letting it sit on the lot for weeks waiting for parts or service bay space. I spoke to...
I agree, I live 30 miles East of Sacramento, so expect a center fairly close, and with 80% of repairs being done OTA and via mobile repair units I'm not worried about service.
I use ForScan on my laptop to change just about anything on my Ranger. Chimes, lights, wake up screen, bambi mode, adjust speedometer, purge power brakes, pull and reset codes, you name it, if OBD11 does the same for the Scout I will get it, already have the laptop, cable and OBD adapter.
I would think they would replace the plastic with something much stronger if for nothing else than battery protection, last thing you need is battery damage leading to an impromptu bonfire.
My 2021 Ford Ranger XLT. lifted 2", leveled, Eibach suspension all around, lots of after market, flat tows behind my M/H.
And this is my last rig, on the Rubicon out of Ice House headed up to Buck's Lake.
I live in California, but have family in both Texas and Michigan, so a flight out and road trip back, worked for me depending on time of year. (Weather)
I am sure it is the same tech as in the 12v cooler we carry, a thermocouple built into an insulated box with a small fan to circulate the air. Mine keeps drinks at 36º to 38º, while drawing only 4 amps.
I have wireless CarPlay in my Ranger with an adapter, and it works great, they are adding apps every update, but I am happy with Google maps, Apple music, messages, and sirius XM and the like.
