Obscure/little things you love on the Ranger

[hughesjv]

I like that I don't need to flip a lever inside the cab to fill the gas tank and yet it is still protected from theft. I like the intermittent and self adjusting wipers. I love the look of the Hot Pepper Red paint...it is like having three different color trucks and changes with lighting. I love the pep; who would have believed this is a 4 cylinder? I love look and feel of the truck!

Who would believe is right! My dad has a 7.3L powerstroke... impressive torque at 500ftlbs... but our 2.3L is 60% of that at 1/3 the size and weight.

Ah, the 7.3L. Noisy, slow, awesome.

Ah yes, enter Stage Right the new 7.3L gas V8 in the Superduty… Nough said. I cannot wait until someone stuffs one in a Mustang....

Okay, back on topic with a new little gem...the 'lock' button on the inside of the rear door on the SuperCrew. When I get to work or get home I can exit the driver door and close it, open the rear door and retrieve my bags, push the lock button and close the door, My Fusion does not have this and I need to leave the driver door open to lock the door or use the outside handle (it has PEPS) but sometimes at that point I have both hands full so being able to push the button and slam the door with my hip is a pretty nice little use case.

That the adaptive cruise control doesnt seem to have to be re-calibrated by a dealer when a small level or lift is installed. Seems to be a problem on some other trucks in the past. I also really enjoy not having to take my keys out of my pocket at all. And when I get out all I have to do is just touch the door handle to lock it up.

At the Ford event where I met the engineers, I was asked about the rear door lock. I was told they were considering eliminating that feature. I told them how much I liked being able to do exactly what you described. I hope they heard me.

I love the lock/unlock on the outside of the rear doors. Makes it easy putting my daughter in her car seat without having to unlock at a front door before opening the back.

I have a odd one.

Why does my center dash screens show a crew cab

But my center stereo screen shows a super cab?

My new favourite is the backup camera delay mode that I just learned about yesterday!

Where did you find it? Either I'm an idiot and can't seem to locate it or mine doesn't have it. On the left gauge cluster when I go to settings there's nothing there for the camera.

I like that you can use the steering wheel control to choose a song or album off of a USB plugged into the front console. Not having a CD player was a concern before getting the truck. Now I don't have to fiddle with a CD to get different album or song, just press the voice control and tell Sync what I want. I also like the folding mirrors since I have a long narrow driveway with trees in close and posts in my barn where I park which have accidently tore off the passenger side mirror on my 2003 Ranger when backing out. Also, the automatic high beam dimmer, the trail control for serious off-roading and just about everything everybody mentioned above. It's a great truck. Just wish it would come in green with manual transmission.

You can set the delay on or off through the Sync setting menus. I can’t remember which one but you’ll find it over there! I didn’t know about it until another member mentioned it.

I had no idea you could do that off a USB. Is there any certain way to organize files on the stick so it works?

Here you go:
Settings/vehicle/camera settings/rear camera delay (turn on)

Viola!

Thanks! I was looking at the left side dash window under settings not on the center cluster.
