Biz Truck

[BizCT]

Yea, the ranger has the app to start from anywhere. I just check my app and see tire pressure, and location (the truck is still in the same spot i parked). You can also make one of the keys set with a governor on speed and volume for radio if your kid is driving it. I tested lane assist by trying to cross a double yellow and it put me back in place.

My truck blasts the heat when I remote start it. I’ve never started it in Summer or looked into if there’s a setting for starting it on cool but now I shall

OK, so now I know why I've been hearing a lot of new vehicles starting up when the light turns green.  I was thinking their engines had stalled and they had to restart them.  This stuff is getting crazy.  Don't quite understand what sense a feature like that makes, but whatever.   We already have some vehicles driving themselves.  I think I'll get a truck when that becomes a standard feature.  I'll just install a shaggy carpet like Moog has in the bed and go sleep on it and wake up when the truck reaches my destination.  Hopefully it can have some coffee and donuts waiting for me, too.  LOL

Yea must suck when you lock keys in your jeep with top down. 

I locked my keys in my old 1990 Wrangler once. I just reached up through the hole in the floor pan and grabbed them.

If you have it set on when you shut the truck off it automatically starts when it remotes on.

 

Same as if I left the radio on or wipers....Just cause I shut off the truck all the settings do not zero out.....

I wanted to explain ahead of time , there is a certain member here who i won't say his or her name (rhymes with liz) who shuts everything off before turning the ignition off and exiting the vehicle.

I'm no mechanic, but there has to be a difference between :

1. starting a car with nothing else on

2. starting a car with heated seats on, heat on, radio on, etc.

My heated seats do auto shut off when the truck does and do not start remotely.

That is hilarious.  Does Liz know that the stuff stops working when the power is off?

 I told the person in question this and the unnamed person says they will not change after 20+ years of operating a motor vehicle this way.

That member had a compelling argument though, I believe it was “Yeah but still”

I’m pretty sure these trucks today are a lot like thermoses. They just know whether you want to keep coffee hot or beer cold.

I had a mentor teacher who retired 10 years ago who was relatively afraid of computers and technology. She used to turn her lights down when the computer wasn’t working correctly to get more power to the computer...her name you ask.....LIZ!!!!

But when it comes back on. It has to turn everything on instead of just the engine.

Like turning off a light by pulling plug instead of light switch

Im hoping the price in the ranger and colorado for used ones arent to bad in 2 or 3 yrs when i start shopping again my truck will be 14 yrs old by then.  Like the idea of a smaller truck since i dont haul anything but what goes in the bed.  You really have a nice looking ride there.

When i hop in my wife’s car I take care
Not to start it as I’m motoring the seat back for the same reasons. Seems like a huge draw on the battery

All the manufacturers are going to the auto start stop, it’s for emissions and a way for them to get the milage up. We received 2 - 2019 Malibu’s at work and they have it. The auto start stop is a huge reason I bought my 2014  f150, no auto start stop.

Liz pulls plugs too?   Kinda defeats purpose of a switch.  Like an ignition switch.  Lol
