I just want a drivers side grab handle.
Why there isn't one just baffles me. My 2010 Ranger had one and I used it a lot.

I can't believe I'm the only one that can't do without a power moonroof. Like the power rear wind feature like my 3 Sport Tracs too.....
I've had one (the moonroof) on 3 vehicles and almost never used it. It sounds cool and looks cool, but I just rarely used it.

why would you guys want a locking gas door? As for the dampened tailgate LOL that really cracks me up the thing weighs like 5 pounds and ppl are crying for a dampner. No offense I just find it comical. As for what I would want I would like the 2.7 V6 ecoboost option even though the 2.3 is a little beast. Also I miss the all 4 window auto up/down but that's just nitpicking.
Also a higher trim than Lariat would be cool like the Wildtrac or w/e its called overseas the seats in those are awesome.

:party: U can have mine if I u give me ur tailgate :crackup:

seriously they did things wrong as they splitted in a world and a US ranger. I would be very happy to have the US fenders and the tailgate design but I am happy with my 3.2 5cyl diesel engine for example.

Edith says a locking gasdoor WITH a twistable cover would be a step foreward. The solution with that limp adapter for the canister is nothing like a bad joke!

They only look awesome I can tell you. At the end they are still ford seats also well known as garden chairs ;-)

Thing is.... diesels are far more popular in the EU than in the US.
If you drove the gas engine , you may not be so happy with the diesel, unless you just like slow.
I too would trust a real gas cap more.

I won't buy a truck with a hole in the roof. One of the reasons I didn't get a tacoma. I've had vehicles with them in the past, never really used the feature, and don't want the added cost or failure point.

They saved a few bucks, just like the 2 disappearing tie-downs. I ordered mine early enough that the spec sheet still listed a driver side handle. They probably decided that grabbing the steering wheel was sufficient, and for $20x80k they'd just drop it.

I have a fully loaded Lariat, Only 2 items would make this truck perfect ---- Power rear sliding window, even in my SuperCab you can't reach it from the drivers seat, and heated mirrors, I live in northeasten Ohio.

I’ve heard a few state they want more than the 4 cylinder that the ranger has BUT you need to take another look at that motor.. it’s a few bolt-ons, 400 hp is do-able. With just a retune, you can get 350... with a waistgate and larger intercooler tunes, you’ll be surprised..
This is the same motor used in the rally cars turning out over 1000 hp...
I get a lot of you all wanting motor options, I get it. I did not buy the Ranger to lay rubber though. I'm happy with it, came out of a 5.7L HEMI Ram that passed everything but the gas pump. So in my case I was more looking for better mpg's, easier to park etc as a trade off for another Ram which would have been my 1st choice had I needed a V8 and/or full size again. Agreed it would be a bad A$$ 'lil truck with a beefy v6 or small 8 in it I bet you could shoehorn a 4.X liter in it...In the end its all marketing.

No offence, I'm not implying that you don't know about your truck, but are you sure it doesn't have heated mirrors? My Lariat does even though it doesn't have the "heated" embossed in the mirror - it's parked inside so I haven't tested them, but I checked my window sticker and it lists them as being heated.
