A couple of things for Ford to consider ...

[Craig]

I'm going to assume Ford watches this forum, so I'm posting a couple of items for consideration:

- A large number of people off-road. I would like to see an optional thumb drive that, depending on the geographical area, would bring up topographic maps on the nav screen similar to a standard nav, and move as the vehicle moves just as the nav screen currently does. The maps are currently available and most topographic maps (with trails, fire and secondary roads) are copies of U.S. Forest Service 25,000:1 topographic maps.
- Many of us have some form of bed cover on their trucks. We are alway fighting dust and dirt coming in from the tailgate perimeter. A factory tailgate seal to prevent that dust would be a great addition. Right now there is a "tailgate war" among the manufacturers. Each has developed a tailgate with various opening or step options. Now is a good time to introduce a tailgate with q proper seal.

Neither of these seem difficult. Weigh in if you have an opinion or other items you believe would be worthwhile.

I found a seal on I believe amazon

Hey Ford, consider bringing this stuff back

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/list-of-deleted-items.18640/

I made it a point to mention all of the stuff my 2020 XLT had that was deleted on later trucks when the dealership was appraising it for trade in. My truck had all 6 bed tie downs and hood struts.


In hind sight, I should have pulled the two center tie downs and sold them to other Ranger owners

The more I read the comments in this thread, I'm missing my '07 2 door XL more than I already do. Crank windows, AM/FM radio, a heater that worked, no AC to break, rear drum brakes, strangers walking up to me parking lots saying "cool truck, wanna sell it". Ahhh the good ole days.....in 2021 lol.

Even if ford did look here, I really don’t think they would care Quality is certainly not job 1.

Off-Road maps: Ford has an app for that. It’s called Bronco Trail.
