Ranger 5 Shortfalls

[puckdodger]

nine pages so far and all I know for sure about the Ranger is:

1) get a good urologist, and

B) stick to RO water, in manageable doses throughout the day, don't carry it around. we are not as evolved as Camelus dromedarius.

We're even more evolved....not only water, but fruity drinks and booze.....

A Ridgeline?? Then you'd have to buy one of these to go with it. ?

Yes we all know about the deletes in 2022 from earlier years...

But WTF... They do not sell Gatorade or Powerade in Ausi Land....

My Powerade bottle won't fit in my Ranger console cup holders!!
All my F150's years could accommodate larger bottles...

Now I have to get out my cordless drill and hole saw to retrofit....!!!

Man... Not sure if all the other midsize competition trucks have this problem...
If I had known this prior to purchasing... Would I still have bought a Ranger.... Yes
But the trauma recovery of knowing no Gatorade or Powerade can be used without mods would be over by now.

I can live with the other deletes and missing accessories.. glove box light and damper... Hood dampers.... No trash can...Etc...

But... The cup holders are too f'n small...??
When was Gatorade invented?... Before the Ranger 5 I'm sure.

I am depressed.... Now my larger water bottles roll all over the interior risking me to get in an accident. Have to take out extra auto insurance....Gonna have to get some industrial Velcro mod action going I guess..

How are you coping?
Any ideas all ???

Please tell me you're not actually drinking any liquid other than water in your Ranger. What if you spill some and it gets on your seats or carpeting? Or your clothing? This is a travesty. And I thought I was having problems not getting chilled cupholders...
Or a tailgate dampener...
Or the pretty blue light rings around the 12v power outlets...(I really miss those, just not as much as the glove box illumination though)
I swear, these engineers these days just ruin everything.
Lol

Yes...me too...We must have used the same manufacturer canoe...

I've got multiple urologists...
Just need a personal assistant to deal with all these Shortfalls of my 2022 Ranger... ?

Sounds like the only option is to buy something with huge cupholders.
I surely don't trust my family gulp in a tiny cupholder in a truck that has a bobbling nightmare ride.

Yes .. should have come with a BoobleHead on the dash .. your pic...

Booblehead? Hmmm, now that might be something that I'd actually buy!!!!

Check your door. Pretty sure it'll fit in the "bottle holder" vs the "cup holder" you are trying to use.

i honestly always forget about the bottle holder lmao

It usually holds my sunglass case, so I forget about it's intended use sometimes as well.

Canoes sure are tippy.

Really was a shame.

But luckily all those icky things have been cast to the abyss... ?

Although... starting to forget about the teeny console cup holders now...worrying more about psychos running around Denver front range killing people...
Thinking a Shortfall for the Ranger 5 is a behind the rear seat hook and loop attachment for a Boom Stick...
