This! 40,000 miles on my personal 2019 and no issues whatsoever. Love it.
We're currently debating picking up a used XL/XLT for business local show use — that or the updated 2024 or Lightning.
This is excellent! And same vehicle! 2023 Corolla GR. Seriously appreciate it.
I just pinged this client/tester and they are reporting the same. The tray helps align and keep the phone from moving around... but it's still not charging that great. We'll have to do some thinking if it's really...
Quick note in case you missed it, our Gen 2 docks are now available!
We have upgrade kits available if you'd like to upgrade your existing dock.

Outstanding! We'll keep an eye out for it :like:
Not Ranger related, but we're working with some other vehicles — specifically Toyotas — and it really is amazing how spotty some of these OEM wireless chargers/AA/CarPlay are.
We're currently testing "wireless charger alignment" trays to help...
Great for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay users — we've improved our 2019-2023 Ranger in-console dock to include:
Smooth slot bottom as seen from the driver's seat — no lines or seams!
Reinforced center support brace.
If you already have a Gen 1 dock purchased before Dec 25, 2023 — we have not...
@Zaph totally understand! As @Tremorky pointed out the space is there — but agreed it is a little tight. I would've loved to have made it larger but that block of plastic behind the cable opening is the primary support between the clamping mechanisms 😥
Received a new shipment of cables from...
This looks excellent!! Thanks for the pics @9512tacoma! Really gets the angle the phone sits — where it slides in between the dash and the shifter. May just be me but it's a quite natural docking sensation getting in and out of your truck and going into/out of park.. once you get used to it...
Excellent! Glad it worked well for you! Looking forward to seeing those pics.. I'm sure it really helps other folks looking for some additional feedback. Thanks @9512tacoma :like:
Thank you @Jim C ! Hmm.. I'll continue to brain storm on this one. Totally hear you! Just trying to imagine the mechanism itself while keeping things clean vs the rail/shim setup 🤔
Thank you! Thought means a lot. But I'll take all feedback — only way to improve and innovate.... hopefully I can...
@Tremorky this is awesome!! Love your write up! And yes agreed excellent feedback. I'll add a blurb to the manual. The cable alignment step is great as you lock in literally *exactly* where your phone and cable sits natural and supported... also means you lock in a non-seating connection ouch...
Thanks @Jhbryaniv! That's awesome to hear. And yes! PETG can make some wonderful dimensionally accurate shapes. Worked great for the large intricate parts in the Ranger dock.
Thanks for supporting us @9512tacoma! Enjoy your dock!
Shipped out several Ranger units this week! Looking forward to...
Thank you! And yes you nailed it! The specialty fitment was the idea. Something like this just isn't possible with traditional manufacturing. Too many phone sizes and vehicles.
Traditional manufacturing means one product for all vehicles and all phones.. or it's $$$. And because it's universal...
Oh yikes! :shock: It is a sunny spot compared to the usual auto phone spot. I know my black phone starts throwing heat warnings even laying out on a picnic table or something and I'm not even on the southern end of the country. Appreciate the note as I investigate that location! 🤔
Got it and thank you! I'll start production this evening and have it out tomorrow. And no no I really do enjoy the feedback — it's the only way I can improve and see what you're looking for. The system is definitely a little more geared to car/truck people!
And yes absolutely! We'd definitely...
Love it!! Glad I'm not the only one with affinity for precision docking 😆
The Mous Intralock & Limitless cases are listed as — D: 13.7mm, W: 82.9mm. A dock size of D: 9-17mm and W: 79-87mm would work best.
If you've got their mag-safe wallet I would bump up one size to give you some extra...
I'm personally a minimalist and keep things out sight in the center console or the door cubbies — but that's just me :like: You are giving up storage space to keep the phone off a dash mount:(
Nice! The Pixel 6 Pro actually has the OEM Google case on it — similar to the OEM iPhones.
You'll...
Oh wow I did not know the Waze splitting! Thanks for letting me know. I use all the default apps.. and to be honest I've been using/testing this dock for the past year. So nothing inherently missing from day to day stuff but definitely good to know in regards to R&Ding something more visible...
Thanks!! I've actually been a member on here since the beginning! And it was actually the Ranger's AA/CarPlay situation that bugged me so much I quit my day job and started DockTailors. Polling other AA/CarPlay vehicle owners, even those with built-in wireless chargers and wireless AA/CarPlay —...
