Forgot about that.

The Mazda seats are firm, which I'm not against. But couple that with the shitty seat heaters and a "bad back," and long drives aren't great.
You know I have never given a thought about heated or cool seats as I have never lived in a long cold winter environment. I imagine that it would be very nice to have warm seats in the winter. I also keep my vehicles garaged. So when it is a little cold here, my vehicle never drop below 50F.

The only complaint we have are the stiff seats. We just purchased these to rectify the issue. They make a difference! and they were inexpensive at $30. But they may exacerbate your seat heating issue.

Did you read my line in the original post? ?

"I like my 2020 Ranger. I like it alot"
I stand corrected. It's quite obvious how much you really like your Ranger. :LOL:

We may ask from Ranger to be as perfect like cars, but can these cars do for us what is Ranger capable to do?

It is why I still own it, but of late I have considered selling and sticking with my reliable old mule, the 2005 4x4 Ranger Edge Extended Cab. In the last year I would have made double the trips in my 2005 Ranger than I made in the 2020 Ranger simply due to the larger bed (I have the SCAB version).

I think I am going to install the transmission pan and change the filter and transmission fluid, and hope this cures the transmission issues. I can tell you that it is far less an issue since I swapped out the driveshaft for the TW single drive shaft.

Nice find.

I'll keep them in mind.
