2019 Ranger
I recently had my 2019 totalled(T-boned). So of course I'm looking for another Ranger. As I look @ the options available in the used market, I am looking for all the bang for my buck I can get....
As I look, I am seeing most of the options my 2019 had, and some it didn't.
The reason for this post is because I don't have a factory manual to reference the switch on the console that has towing, locking diff, parking sensors, etc.
Could someone take a pic or a dwg of what these pics are referencing. I have seen as few as 3 pic and as many as 6.
I am so anxious to get back into a Ranger!!
I would like to buy this weekend!
IF anyone could help, I will be eternally greaftul.

The common button that I've seen that this set doesn't have is parking sensors off.

The ones that I've figured out so far are:
Towing
Locking diff
Parking sensors
Trac control off
Auto start-stop

Are there any others that I haven't figured out?

Is this what you’re looking for?

If so… 2023 XLT tremor with tow pkg, it has rear parking sensors only and standard cruise control (not the fancy pants auto distancing system.)
Also yes my truck is dirty ? the bee ? is from one of my little girls and the red guy is a old keychain that broke (you probably won’t find those in the new to you truck ?.. maybe they might throw in some ritz crackers tho.)
Didn’t know how to help better also here is my numbskull label of what they do.

Only the crawl/trail control mentioned by Josh with is much cleaner truck…and organized post than mine was ?…
If you can get it “Lariat Tremor” (although you won’t get the much nicer looking XLT/Sport style gauge cluster?) it should have just about everything you’d want and comes with the fox so slightly better stock suspension than the fx4… but probably real tough to find a good specimen for sale in that configuration. Good luck hope you find the right one for you….

also might want to look at the Ranger Raptor ?… just don’t test drive one… you’ll end up buying it.. just ask some of the members ?

I know first hand why this is important when searching for these trucks online. That button cluster tells quite the story about what a potential truck has installed. Yes, Ford does link their original window stickers to the Carfax reports, but not every dealer offers free Carfax reports on their used vehicles. Autocheck is useless. In my search, I found all sorts of listing mistakes. XLT's listed as Lariats, and vice versa. Missing packages. Missing options. I learned quickly how to figure out what a truck had installed just from the pictures. My method was to use the major search sites (kbb, autotrader, edmunds, etc.) and then cross reference the listing on the listing dealer's sites. They may have different pictures or free Carfax on the dealer site that are not on the search sites.

Good luck with your search. I found my lease return on a dealer site 200 miles away, and it was well worth the drive.

OK, I hope this helps, please ignore the dirt and dust. I have a 2019 XLT FX4 with the 302A package.

Top row L to R: trail control, ASS, locking diff.
Bottom row: L to R: Trailer Tow, parking sensors, stability control.

I pretty much have everything on mine except the tech package. So, no ACC or auto sensing wipers.

Tow/Haul is standard on ALL Rangers....no matter if equipped with tow package or not, 2 and 4 wheel drive....they all have it.

Hail Damaged 2020 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 302a
I just got my ranger 2 weeks ago. Hail damaged 2020 XLT FX4 with the 302a package (5 buttons). I also looked at the buttons to help determine what the trucks I was looking at had due to incorrect listings. Bought it just on pictures, drove it 500 miles home on the highway and it was AWESOME! Took it on a VERY ROUGH primitive road, 60 miles round trip, last weekend and it was AMAZING! 2wd was bouncing all over the place. switched to 4wd H when the road got rough, 1/4 mile in, which planted the truck and made it stick to the road, rocks, and scree incredibly well. Tried trail control and terrain mode even though I didn't need to. What this truck ate up in 4wd H was AMAZING! I'm not sure I'll ever need to crawl anything but I have all the confidence in the world that my ranger can get me out of anything I'm willing to get my family into.
