my 2020 Ranger

[Sharky]

I have it 3 weeks & overall I am pleased with it. however there are a couple of things I dont like.

1. going thru the owners manual I see you are to remove the antenna before going in a car wash........really ?
2. I installed vent visors & the window control is touchy, either it closes or opens to far .
3. the climate control set up is not as easy to use as my old 04 Ranger. I dont need a video screen to control the AC or heater.
4. back up camera is mounted in the center of the tailgate, hauling lumber I had to keep the gate down, camera is useless in that position.
5. the truck is a bit high for the wife to get in so I will be installing running boards. boards came from the factory on the 04.
6. the radio is ticking me off, I preset about a half dozen stations 3 times. the list of stations on the bottom of the screen show stations I do NOT listen to.
after going thru the owners manual I cannot find out how to delete those stations & a few of my selected stations do NOT show on that list...wtf !

if anyone could help this old non tech guy out with the radio it would be appreciated.

anyone else have things that bug them on the new Rangers ?

Hi! I’ll trade you my 97 F150 for it straight up and you won’t have those problems anymore.

Simply disconnecting the battery should clear the radio presets. Then you should have a clean slate to put your own stations in.

if your 97 has less than 1000 miles & comes with a 3yr 360000 mile warranty I will consider it.........

I will try that, thanks.

Just barely over 140,000 miles and I’ll give you a 3hr / 36 mile warranty.

Nope. That is murderbear.

That's just junkie trying to intimidate you...

Not in the least. Just a way of saying hello.

With a guy in a bear suit.

1. going thru the owners manual I see you are to remove the antenna before going in a car wash........really ?

Common, the carwashes with brushes and spinny things eat antennas

3. the climate control set up is not as easy to use as my old 04 Ranger. I dont need a video screen to control the AC or heater.

XL/STX has basic HVAC controls.

4. back up camera is mounted in the center of the tailgate, hauling lumber I had to keep the gate down, camera is useless in that position.

Pretty common location

5. the truck is a bit high for the wife to get in so I will be installing running boards. boards came from the factory on the 04.

Always been optional

6. the radio is ticking me off, I preset about a half dozen stations 3 times. the list of stations on the bottom of the screen show stations I do NOT listen to.

dunno about that

I’m glad I got the XL with the STX package. Nothing like a computer controlled infotainment and climate control system to ruin your driving experience.

I''ve had Fords Sync 3 system with the large panel, in 3 different trucks. Once you get it figured out , its absolutely great.
My 2019 came with running boards, pretty much worthless for me. Truck is fine and serving me well.
