2021 vs. 19/20

[CO2Ranger]

Here are a list of things I've noticed on my 2021 that are different or the same as my 2019:

SAME
- Mine is ok, but many on the lot have funky window trim fit just like was on my 2019.
- The wastegate still squeaks. You can only hear it outside the car when idling.
- The B&O stereo still glitches from time to time with Android Auto. Like a hiccup when playing music.
- Tires were severely overinflated from dealer 44psi when sticker says 30psi.
- FX4 suspension is still pretty wallowy for my taste. Will be going Fox 2.0 or 2.5 once the next round of stimulation happens. ?

DIFFERENT
- "Ranger" no longer embroidered on the floormats or seats.
- Driveline vibration on mine is non-existent now, though I test drove an XLT that had some.
- Back seat latches with almost no effort now.
- Garaged most of the time so not sure I'll miss the wiper warmers.
- So far, no hint of gas smell in the oil ?
- Option for backseat reminder is good for those with little ones. Not something I'll use, but good on Ford for including it.

So you had a 2019 and traded to a 2021?
can I ask 'why'?..

Sold the 2019 due to a COVID layoff. Loved it enough to come back now that I'm in a better place.

Couldn't agree more. It was the first thing I noticed on my test drive. I had the Fox by Ford setup installed before I took delivery and it is a big improvement.

Can't disagree with you, but it blows my mind that this is even an issue.

I shut mine off, I haven't forgotten my kids in the 3 years I've had them so far, so hopefully it won't be needed!

I had the same thought, but so many people walk around stressed and distracted, if it saves even one child I think it's worth it.

Never forgot my kids either. ?

Perhaps I am missing something...how do you disable/shut off the back seat reminder? I tried everything on my menu, not able to do it. Thanks

I'll have to go look at where the option was/is when I have a chance later. It's definitely there though, I'm certain it's buried though.

@JeffWoodall it's in setting, then vehicle settings, rear occupant alert.

Not on a 2021. I went through every possibility and it can’t be done.

It's definitely in there, I have a 2021 Lariat.

It's in the vehicle settings on the head unit. It's definitely there. I've got a 21 XLT Tremor

Wow, Ok, I will have to try one more time. I went through every possible menu, but I will try again. Thanks

Thanks to this thread, I was able to turn mine off! It's under the vehicle settings.

well, you only get 3 months of siriusxm instead of 6 months with a 2021.
