I have an 25 Expedition, 23 Bronco, and 21 F150. CarPlay audio quality on Expedition is messed up, but it does connect. But all of a sudden, my Bronco and F150 will NOT connect to CarPlay. I got the Bronco to force connect yesterday after power cycling my phone. I didn't drive the F150 for...
I have a BlueOx flat tow setup that I do not want to change. The flat tow adapters are in the place of the front tow hooks. Are there any recent options for a winch mount that works with this type of setup? I think the RC high bumper winch mount will work, but I was looking for other options.
I have a 23 Wildtrak with an Air Force 1 braking system. I also had a charge line installed. I recently went on a 1,200 mile trip with 12 cycles in and out of flat tow mode. I feel bad for those that have had issues, but my experience was flawless. I did use a checklist and take my time to...
I know you can add different stems to the Ford TPMS sensors, but I am not sure what the options might be. So I am currently using valve stem extenders to get the ridiculously short Bronco stems. I have to do this to get external TPMS sensors that integrate into the RV display system. I have...
Had something interesting happen this morning. We went on about a 30 mile in town drive. Engine and tranny temps normal on gauges, but when we got back to the RV the engine area smelled really hot. This was an all in town drive. Speeds 25-35 mph. But a lot of braking. We have had these...
I took the post from Tilzbow (thank you) and combined it with the 23 owners manual to make a document I can keep in my Wildtrak. I can update this if there are other tweaks that need to be made. Thought it would help everyone out.

I am getting a lot of wind noise from my driver rear window. After looking at it more closely, this window appears to be tipped out more than the other windows. I would think this explains the wind noise if the glass is not pressing on the window seals as much and the wind it impacting that...
I don't like extensions at all, but I really struggle to get an air hose (or my Morrflate system) on the valve stems. I guess I could have longer stems installed, but that seems like it would be expensive. Several of my trim rings are nicked (could have been the previous owner) where the tool...
I know the HOSS 3.0 Tie Rods on the Wildtrak are upgraded, but are they the same as the Ford Performance set or something different. I can't seem to find an answer to this ......
I have a family member that really wants to buy a 24 Raptor. They are big time hunters and go some pretty crazy places in winter. I know the manual says rear chains only (and only in certain sizes), but there are some advantages to front tire chains (weight, steering, etc.). So are there any...
I have 3 fords and all of them have APIM issues. Sync4 restarts, CarPlay disconnects, etc. I was told there was an update coming this month to "fix all these issues" by my dealer. I haven't seen anything yet, has anyone else? I only ask as these update pushes for Ford are so unreliable.
So I had a dead battery cell on our 23 Wildtrak with 5000 miles. Holy crap! In some ways I would like to go back to the days of rurr-rurr-click-click-click. First thing was a park brake failure message. I put a jump pack on it and tried to start it - things got worse. :). Steering failure...
I am aware of all the issues with the RC HWM, but still want to take that approach. Can anyone verify for me that it doesn't screw up the adaptive cruise (ACC)? Their website says it's all good, but when I talked to someone at RC they said they don't tell folks it works fully (probably lawyer...
I read the 35 page damaged frame horn due to high mount thread and how to reinforce. Fantastic thread and great info. I will tow my bronco behind my RV, so I have to install the Blue Ox Frame inserted base plate. This was a trick all in itself to install with the high winch mount because I...
I was absolutely shocked recently when my daughter's 19 Ranger with a 2.7L engine was diagnosed by the dealer with water intrusion (it was misfiring). She did park it nose down slightly in a driveway that makes the problem worse. The fix was a plug and boot change and dielectric grease on the...
First upgrade was to replace the GYMT’s with new KO2’s. Just my favorite tire. The shop that installed the tires pumped them up to the door jamb sticker of 40 psi. Seems to much for this tire. I’m thinking more like 35 psi. Without doing the chalk test, does that seem right? Will I have...
Ok, I am guessing this will be a dumb question - but here goes. About 3 months ago I had my Wildtrak in the local Ford dealer with a reverse sensor error. They said it needed a new sensor. They ordered one, but said it needed to be painted. Several months later I am at the dealer to service...
