Just pick up my 26 Ranger Raptor (at MSRP) and traded in my 21 Colorado ZR2 Great truck needed more power. Of course with a truck that is just shy of 70K out the door not owners Manuel. Love the truck power and handling on the drive home and my big issue is how to program the XM radio and save the channels to favorite places. Had very little success trying to program on the 300 mile drive home. Looked at the online Manuel and from what I saw not much help there. Looked on You Tube but could not find a very specifically on the 26 (or 25 for that matter) on how to do it. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. One slightly weird thing about the TPS is you only get the reading when stopped and I liked to look at it frequently while driving. One I get somme break in miles looking to see how it does in the dirt.
thanks

While listening to a seriusxm channel, click on the search icon (3 lines with magnifying glass). Click on browse byclick on either music. Then select the genre, then select a chanel to tune in to.
once tuned into a channel that you want to save as a favorite, push the button with three bars with a dot on each line (like music symbols) press on siriusxm favorites, then press on add to favorites. Repeat this process untill you have added all the favorites you want to save.

On your tire pressure readings, you can view it on the run on your gauge cluster screen. Find the screen that shows your trip 1 info. Then toggle down with the OK button until your tire pressure screen is displayed. I can’t remember, but you may have to select tire pressure in the my view options on your gauge cluster menu.

Congratulations getting your new Ranger!

Now, sit in it and start pressing buttons. Tire pressures are available anytime with the press of a button. No set up needed. It's there

Select the channel that you want then go to the screen with presets on it, it should already be populated with random stations, and press and hold the station under the preset number that you want, after a couple of seconds it will shift to the channel that you're tuned to.
