I'll start with a few. These are nit picky but most of them were on my 2013 Ford Fusion (a common mans car and nothing fancy) so I had kind up assumed they would remain on the Ranger.

1. Auto Up / Down for ALL Windows - Not just the driver. Fusion had it 7 years ago.
2. Remote Up / Down for all windows via the key fob. Fusion had it 7 years ago.
3. Automatic Rear Window that rolls down into the body - not just a slider. My 1984 ranger had the slider. The Explorer Sport Trac had that in 2000
4. Space behind the Rear Seat. Seriously about 6" more would fix a lot of problems
5. Bed - What is up with the area right in front of the wheel arches? Why did it dip. See #4 - they should have pushed the cab back to use that dead space.
6. Remote Start with AC. Why does the AC not come on when the car starts? That's the WHOLE reason I want a remote start? I live in Phoenix... The car is literally 200 deg on the inside when its 120deg outside.
7. Bed Stake Pockets. I thought that was half the reason you got a truck. Maybe they can't sell you an $800 utilitrac system if you just had four pockets.
8. Blank Switches - Everyone puts something on a truck.

I've got other wishes too - like high output alternators and a place to stow a gun that's reachable by the driver and stuff but that's the fun in customizing. Item's in 1-8, though. Should have been standard.

What did you think the Ranger should come with? Stock? 120v outlet in the bed? Heat extracting hod? Lets hear it below!

I like the utilitrac. Had it on my Tacoma and used it a lot.

Different interior colors than just black and stone. Black is such a bitch to keep clean when you live in an arid climate part of the country.

Other than that... I wish they would have offered a technology delete package. No Sync, no collision alert, no anti-lock brakes, no traction control. Just a basic truck, with all the air bags, but none of the rest of the "driver technology" stuff.

A manual transmission with an ST option, a roll down rear glass like the Sport Trac had and mostly, a lower stance suspension like what is offered in Australia and Thailand.
