One I found in my 2024 Wildtrak (and was also in my 2020 Wildtrak), when you're driving in auto mode, selecting either the "+" or "-" button on the side of the gear shift will bring up a display of your current gear selection (e.g "7/10" if you are currently in7th gear of a 10 speed transmission) to the right of the "PRND12" lights on the bottom of the dash behind the steering wheel. Selecting either the "+" or "-" button again will hide it again.
Thanks. Yeah that’s the progressive gear select. If you press - again you can start to lock out gears. This is useful for towing where you can lock out the overdrive gears to help keep the temps down. For example I tow in gears 1-7 (locking out 8 to 10)
Not really an Easter Egg but some may not know about the trailer light check that you can run from the main screen or from the app. Quite helpful! 😊 Thx for the video - didn’t know about the gear shift to park. Will test it tomorrow. 😂
If you keyless entry stops working , your battery is under 50% state of charge . If you release your bonnet latch ford pass is disables( just in case someone plays with your fordpass app while your working on it.)
@@Perth4WDandCamping no it’s true. Turn on ignition tap sketch app and then keep tapping sketch for 4 seconds and the rose will begin to draw.. I tried it and it works.
1. The ford badge on the tailgate is black and not blue. 2 The FORD on the center caps of the tires can be turned so they are horizontal if you are taking a pic of the vehicle. 3. The left and right turn lights that light your path as you turn left or right.

Anyone one with a next gen ranger. Allow sync 4 to wifi to your house and allow updates. You will get the latest sync4 software The updates are incremental, meaning you can’t go straight to the latest without going up the software level. So don’t expect to be at the latest level in one update. Current version is 23151 revision 902
Ps not everyone will receive update notifications at the same time, it’s released in batches of VIN numbers so it doesn’t kill the server and if there is a problem only a small batch is affected
G’day Mark, was wondering how you find the throttle controller? I have heard that these rangers have an adaptive or learning gearbox… was wondering if you have had any issues with it and or if it has affected your warranty when taking it in for a service? Love the videos mate! Keep them coming 💪
Hi. I haven’t experienced any downside. Just takes that bit of lag out of the accelerator that you get in turbo diesels. I was a sceptic before I ran one in my Pajero sport and now completely converted. I love the control and adjustment you have with it. I leave the unit in place during services and haven’t had any issues - same with my last 4x4 (Mitsubishi).
@@Wampity For some crazy reason turn on the demist only and it disables the start stop . I have tried it and other friends have tried it and it works . Mine is a 2023 next gen
Do you have an after market transmission cooler? If towing with any auto you should get one will help a lot with temps and longevity of the transmission
Definitely on the consideration list. I have my winch controller installed exactly where a cooler would go so I’d have to find a solution for relocation first before I consider that.
Thanks for sharing. Not sure I’d have ever found some of these. One question. Do you have a storage modification in the tailgate and if so what can you tell us about it
Sort of an easter egg but I belive this is now on most modern cars. If you push the unlock button on the remote and release and quickly push again and hold, all of your windows will open. You can put them all back up by doing the same with the lock button.
@@Perth4WDandCamping Correct, everyone keeps blaming Ford for the carplay problem, it's not a Ford issue, it drops out on many other manufacturers as well, the problem is in the carplay software, the manufacturers can't do much about it as they don't write the code for that feature.
Not aware of a timeframe or oil pump issue. Can’t see anything referenced in the manual either but saying that Ford might be your best bet to double check
This was only an issue with the 3.2L 5 cylinder. The 3.0L V6 is a completely different engine. The V6 has been in a Volvo and the F150 for a number of years and apparently any issues it had have been resolved and is a reliable engine with no major issues.
They don’t suffer from oil drain issue but they must never be overfilled and you must wait 10 minutes to check the oil level. 8.9L no more . Some dipstick will appear under the max but if you over fill them you will have runaway.
Great tow vehicle in my opinion. 10 speed box is smooth and with tow haul mode on it gives you the right gearing and assisted breaking going down hills. I’d suggest getting the premium pack which includes the integrated brake controller.
G’day. Nothing negative to flag. Some difference in shift points since adding 33” tyres but this is to be expected. Management of temps whilst towing via using gears 1-8. Any concerns from your side? Cheers Mark
@@deslynch8957 I’ve been really happy and yes many repeat Ranger owners now have purchased their next gen. I covered off the issues I’ve experienced in my last video but the transmission was not one of them

I especially liked the way you can disengage how many gears the Transmissions
can select 👍
Thanks! Very handy for towing ☺️

That is the place you put your key fob when it's battery is run down for the passive transponder to be detected that you can still start your car.

It’s a pity they didn’t put that much effort into fixing the apple carplay issues that have existed for years and still continue into this model..
