Obscure/little things you love on the Ranger

I had 8 tracks back in the 70's had older brothers - made the musicians create better music IMHO

I even had an old used reel to reel back in the 70's that I got from my friends older brother.

If our kids could only hear those - those must be amazing.

Old thread, but what the heck - even Dracula came back from the dead. This is probably covered in that book in the glove box, but I just discovered it. The angle of the headrests is adjustable. If you tilt them forward, you can hear a click at each setting. If you go all the way forward, they release and go back to where they started.

Even better is the back seat headrests tilt down so you can see out the back window. For some reason they did away with this on the 2020's.

I noticed today that the overhead sunglass holder has a felt lining - my 2017 Escape didn't have that

The head turning, the slowing down to take a look...yeah!

On the operational side, the lane assist thingy. Talk about self-driving vehicles! Of course, nanny knows when you are fully hands off and tells you to get your hands back on the wheel

Yeah this is definitely my favorite small thing on the Ranger. I love the increased visibility. Sucks for everyone who's got a 2020 without it.

2nd gear has just a hint of gear whine. It’s only audible when towing since 2nd isn’t normally used. I find it sort of charming.

I have a place to set my coffee cup when I am outside making my rounds in the morning.

Reminds me of 007 in Goldfinger... "do you expect me to talk? No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die..."

Yes - after re-reading what I posted, what I really meant was that the Escape had the overhead sunglasses holder, but it didn't have the felt lining.

I took the Lariat from Tampa Bay to Jax this week. Crossed 1K miles after 3 months of ownership. The rain sensor wiper setting is the greatest! From a blinding quarter mile visibility to an light sprinkle those wipers were spot on without me doing a thing. That pre-collision warning lit off three times and spooked me each time. Not sure what to do with that with tourists on the loose. I love this truck. '02 Edge is Lariat's companion. Love that truck too!
