Split rear seat (upper AND lower sections)

rear hvac vents

voltage meter at least optional on the dash (I think this is available in the raptor only which makes no sense at all)

Rear HVAC should have been on my list as well.

 

[Tinfish]

Larger fuel tank

That would be my ask, as well. It doesn't need to be a lot larger, but right now it is too small. I think around 25 gallons might be the sweet spot.

Optional 5.0. Would tick that box in less than a heartbeat. The seat bottoms could be a little longer for better thigh support and stronger brakes.

A Super cab option w/ 6ft bed.

My wish list:

* For the regular Ranger, a steel front bumper (modular!?), or a separation between the bumper and the upper grille similar to the Ranger Raptor, and Ranger Super Duty. This would look better, and make it easier for aftermarket manufacturers to design bumpers. Even better if they could use one design for all models with only minor changes (ie. width).

* Refreshed dash design/layout. More sporty/tough/bronco-esque. I may be the minority, but I prefer the XL dash without the chrome.

* Physical HVAC button to toggle vent modes, and larger round knobs. Why does the temperature knob have a power symbol on it (could this be removed)?

* Make the display on the center/media screen match the dash screen. Currently the dash has a matte finish, but the media center screen has a gloss finish. I also noticed the colours don't match between the two.

Extend the rear axle further back. Center the wheel well in the bed make it look more proportional. Make 35s for from factory at least on the RR.

Light weight aluminum body panels like the F150 did starting in 2017? The Gen1 to Gen2 Raptor shaved off like 600lbs with going aluminum. Ranger can shave off about 500lbs, would be a massive upgrade.

Rock sliders instead of the side steps.

 

[Crapblaster]

Aluminum body like F150 to reduce weight
Cooled seats
10r80 transmission for raptor
stronger diffs for raptor
Tailgate area redesigned for better dust/water intrusion
less random holes in bed
more physical buttons for often used functions instead of using the screen
better steering feel
ST version, a lowered raptor variant
Flat rear load floor like F150
Dual fuel injection system on Raptor
E85 capable
better stock intercooler
Rear air vents
New infotainment system with no subscriptions

I've been researching the 6G Ranger for a possible purchase. Trading in a Gladiator Mojave. What I would like to see.

Push button start.
Better instrument panel. The 8" is pitiful compared to the Colorado and Gladiator.
60/40 rear seat.
Larger fuel tank for those of us that actually live and explore in the middle of nowhere.
FX4 get a slight lift, maybe 2" or so, and slightly bigger tires. Colorado does it with the Trail Boss, which seems like a comparison for the FX4.

12v power plug back on the dash
Flatten the bottom of the steering wheel
Driver side A pillar grab handle.
25+ gallon tank (Should have a 500 mile range for off-roading)
60/40 Back Seat
Make bed lights come on with cargo light like F150.

All great ideas!
Ford are you watching & listening?

4A and integrated box steps available for all trims (basically what the Australians get).

Center Screen has a feedback app to tell ford what you think
