Battery Gauge? / 12 volt power point?

[OregonRangerTremor]

Hi, I just got my new 2021 Ranger Tremor-Lariat 5 days ago so I have a lot to learn. Reading the manual and getting use to where everything is and how it works. Currently I have 2 QUESTIONS:
1. Are there not any typical 12 volt power point plugs in the cab? All I see are USB ports.
2. On the dash configuration and in it's menu; is there a menu item for the battery voltage, condition of the battery?

Thanks to you experienced Owners.

You should have two 12 volt “cigarette lighter” style plugs on the centre stack - below the climate controls. These have magnetic covers that flip up.

Below is an image of that piece I removed from my 2021 Lariat Tremor. Removed to install TBC knob.

Well I be damned!!! They do exist! Thanks! They looked so much like round knobs. Great, I have a battery monitor gauge that will plug right into one of those. This is what this Group is all about.....helping each other enjoy our Rangers!

Note that the battery monitor gauge is probably useless on this truck.

You should have a 12 volt plug in on the back side of the console unless they eliminated it for 2021.

My 2019 Lariat has it.

Mine only has the 120v outlet, like you show, not a 12v outlet on the back of console.

Uh oh. Is this another "COVID Casualty"? I have a 2019 (like @SaberRanger) with the 120V outlet. @Tom_C what is your 2020 build date? I wouldn't think the supply issues would be present on pre-May 2020's. They were doing some cost saving measures pre-COVID though...

Oct 2020. Mine only has the 120v outlet, no 12v.

Could be your answer right there. Might not have been able to source the parts and decided to deliver them anyway. I didn't know the 120V was something that went missing. Wonder what the 2021's have

I'm not sure I follow. I don't know anyone who has 12v on the rear of the center console. SaberRanger says there is 12v there, but only shows 120v.

I'm confused.

I messed up, I meant to say 110v not 12v

Yeah, we both misspoke. It's a 110V behind the console, not 120V. Do people have a 12V back there instead? I have 2USB's and a 110V on the back side of the center console facing the rear passengers.

That's 110 volts not a 12 volt cigarette lighter style plug. But I am amazed this truck has that!

I have a 110v and 2 USB's behind the console on my 21 XLT

Forgot to mention that is where you plug your nightlight in so your auto start/stop doesn't work. though I like my auto start/stop
