Obscure/little things you love on the Ranger

[SubVet]

I saw this a while back and as much as I want to try this, I just can't bring myself to do it.

It was tough for me to try the first time. I just had to try it. The minute or the second that I take that gearshift you put it reverse my a****** puckered up pretty good......... but when the camera came on and the truck went into neutral, a big smile and full intestines stayed loaded in place

I did mine before watching that video on hearsay. love being a guinea pig for the Ranger.

That's crazy because I saw the video and I still can't bring myself to try it lol. Next time I need to try something with the Ranger I now who I'm calling.

I was hoping to have a thread on things you didn't know and/or question the logic. It's not about things you like, it's stuff you found that's not in the owner's manual and wonder WTF?

I was also a guinea pig for the Eibach Pro lift kit on 2WD,
The Chinese version of DV+ for $16 that works just fine the Same part number and all.
(I am pretty sure the Chinese make the GFB for American resellers)

and now shifting into reverse while driving to see behind the truck.....All kinds of hits, no misses so far

As far as bootlegs go. Of the companies that are selling parts and accessories. I submit most are made in China anyway,

If I have to pay 16X the cost from a US distributor on a $16 part , you can bet I'm looking at AliExpress first. The gfb on AliExpress does what it's supposed to do. No check engine lights no issues with turbo. It's a very simple part and can't cost much to make. I've seen both of them now US and Chinese. There's not much there when you look at the parts. The only difference is that the American part has the GFB logo on it.

As a side note, you can set the reverse camera for a delay that extends the viewing. Behind you stays on the screen while you drive off down the road. Not sure how long it stays on - I keep forgetting to check it.

The delay will stay on until you hit 5 mph. It was a nice feature when you're using the terrain management control as you can see what's behind you when your crawling at low speeds.

I didn't realize that you could fold the rear headrest down which is nice for my daily commute - only saw that when looking a thread about differences between '19 and '20

I like that you can put the vehicle in reverse while moving and turn on The Back-up Camera. yes I tried it works well...don't ask

found this

Like someone said in the comments on that video, imagine the backup lights turning on when you do this while someone was following a bit close

The car behind you would be so freaked out he'd slam on the brakes and cause a chain reaction crash.

I love the automatic folding door mirrors! Yes, you push a button, but after you push the button to close them, then turn the engine off and push the button once more as you exit. When you get back and turn the engine on, they automatically fold out for driving!! Kind cool....

I really like this feature but I always forget about it!

Hi Mike,

N
Going to try this, but can't use it in the garage as I would likely rip the right mirror off the truck backing out of the garage.

I never knew this and I fold them in everyday in the garage. But I never knew the package I order had them in the first place. It was like, what's this button for? Cool!
