Looks great! Did you use the switch it came with? If you did, could you please show where you mounted and the wire run to the battery?
Thanks!

I did. Preparing for Friday date night with the wife. I’ll post a couple pics of what I did tomorrow.

Here’s the pics sans wife.
Couple of things.
I cut the wire where I needed to add additional wire and wire loom.

you can wrap (or zip tie) the rear center seatbelt around the child restraint anchor point directly below it to get it out of the way when you fold the back seat down

wait, where?

my latch anchor is not under the belt, and its like more than half way up the back wall to the window. I bought a little seat belt retainer, but it was no match for the tension and popped off. I saw one member bolted a bracket onto the nearby module...

there are three anchors for a child seat, one up high and two down low.

the low anchors are on the bar across the back below the seat

you can temporarily wrap the seat belt around that anchor or you can do as I eventually did, zip tie the belt down there.

I need more info on how to get the windows to roll down with the key fob, cause I sure couldn't get it to work in the 100 times I tried yesterday

there is a setting where you can enable/disable....perhaps yours is disabled?

or his truck is like mine and the 'global windows' option isn't even available in the menu.
my personal theory is that its something to do with that window recall.
I haven't gotten around to enabling it in Forscan yet.

Only one day of ownership so far, and I was looking high and low, on the screen, or a physical button everywhere for the locking rear differential. Clearly stated I have one on my window sticker......so spinning the wheel for drive mode. When I got to sand, mud, ruts suddenly a graphic appears of the vehicle and I see a lock on the rear diff! Maybe someone else will be on the hunt for this.

Congrats on the new Ranger!

The manual is your friend. Sadly the days of paper are behind us, but you can download a copy from here.

No need to play spin the wheel. The lockers (along with a lot of other cool stuff) can be accessed directly by simply pressing the off-road screen button on the center console. Page 360, 361 in the 2025 Ranger manual will get you started:

Ron you're a hero! What a treasure trove! Just downloaded from your link to my pad. We've got a long trip coming up. I'll ask the wife to pad up the info as we cruise along.

The off-road screen button; now this brings up a concern....I might sound young and hip but we are long in the tooth/and have as is common in the elderly two yippy yap dogs. What happens when cruising down the interstate one of the miniature schnauzers hops onto the center armrest/slips a bit and steps on this button? I hope nothing. I've already found and ordered off ETSU a cover for the 'wheel'.

Thanks again for the information. I love the way you presented it to me=fun and suggestive and not derating at all.
