I want the air vent under the steering wheel brought back. (Otherwise known as the ball warmer)
Heated seats work good for that. I need that vent for the AC to cool those boys off in the AZ heat! :giggle:

Huh, that's weird. The international Ranger has all electric seats at the higher trim levels.

I'd really love to have ventilated seats though.
It's really an inexcusable omission and other than cost, makes zero sense

You folks are not thinking big enough, you're short selling yourselves. Who cares about USB ports and seat memory!? I want the air vent under the steering wheel brought back. (Otherwise known as the ball warmer)
They had to stop doing that. Gave women chapped lips.

Separate options from packages (I don't know that I'll ever use the windshield wiper de-icer in South Texas)
I bet the windshield wiper de-icer not being used in Texas thought aged really well ?

Better back seat[split fold flat, more comfort/tilt back], 2.7l option, especially on tremor, and/or a perfornance tune option that accommodates towing, better shifter and dash buttons, ac seats, power recline/memory front seat/s, moon roof option, power rear slider, bed lights, tailgate damper. A tremor is almost $50k and these should be std, not add on accessories or unavailable features.
Wait, talk to me about this back seat. Is this something we can purchase and have put into existing models you think?

Edit: nevermind. I misread what you were saying. You're listing features you want. I'm 100% with you on the back seat especially. What a missed opportunity.

They really need to address the back seat issue in the next generation.

Why couldn't ford have made the seats "all electric" instead of partial? Obviously due to cost savings, but it's annoying that I have to manually adjust the seatback angle when all other adjustments are electric. Had they made it all electric we could have also had memory seats, so when my wife drives it we have our own settings.
I have a supercab instead of the supercrew. I actually like the manual back adjustment. It makes accessing the rear seating area faster then waiting for then waiting on the electric motor. That being said, I still wish for memory seat adjustments. My wife is very short and getting in after her is a challenge.

I have had my ranger now for a few months. Overall I really like it. I do have a few items that I miss from previous vehicles however. These are things that I think Ford could do without much difficulty and would allow then to stand apart from the competition.
My short list is

Interior
-Heated Steering wheel-I live in Alberta where is it -10c or colder for 5 months of the year.
-Auto folding mirrors, currently on the Lariat you have to push a button to fold in or out. I’d like it to have an option to have it happen every time I put it in park.
-built in brake controller if you buy the towing package
-Full digital cluster

Exterior
-12v in the bed
-dampened tailgate( I know everyone wants this one)

What‘s on your list?

A heated steering wheel, auto-folding mirrors, and a fully digital damper would do it for me!

auto-folding mirrors
They won't fold in on their own, obviously. But it you press to fold them in, then hit the fold button a second time, after turning the truck off, they will automatically fold out again on start-up, for what it's worth. Makes it a tiny bit more bearable for me anyway.

Otherwise, the Trac Electronics (and I'm sure other brands make them) module for auto-fold is pretty cheap, plug-and-play and quick/easy to install.

Moonroof most definitely.
