Great information, well explained!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thank you!

[@KT_keeper]

How do you get the display to show the gear the automatic transmission is in? 1, 2, 3, ect. Thanks

[@CarsWithSteve]

If you press the "+" or "-" button on the shifter it should show you the current gear that you're in

[@KT_keeper]

@ Thank you.

[@CarsWithSteve]

anytime

[@BSalc]

So the ranger xlt fx4 didn’t have the same guage cluster?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Exactly.. the XL and XLT have a smaller 8" digital that has similar functionality and a slightly different look. I have a shoot scheduled soon with a Ranger XLT so I'll have a video put together on that smaller version

[@BSalc]

Looking forward for the ranger XLT 👍🏽🤙🏽

[@genebond]

Very good video, Thanks! Funny how they change things as they go. My new Raptor Ranger is just slightly different on what the customizable options are. They actually cut some stuff back... I was able to use your demo to set mine up more the way I like it, which is very cool.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thank you! Yeah the Raptor does have a few extras you won't find in the other trims, I'm in the Raptor in a few weeks and definitely have a video planned for that setup. How are you liking the truck so far?

[@genebond]

@@CarsWithSteve So far, I'm loving it. I got out of a '15 Tacoma, which was a great truck for 250K miles, when my son needed a vehicle, so it got re-purposed. The Ranger is just enough bigger in the seat and general cockpit area to make a big comfort difference for me (6'3", 240lbs). I'm just pissed at Ford for requiring us to add a bed reinforcement kit ($450, and not even available right now) to put a cap or anything on the bed. That's a design defect in my book.

[@CarsWithSteve]

I didn't realize the Raptor needed that reinforcement kit as well, thought it was just other trims. Outside of the bed issue, how are you liking the truck?

[@genebond]

@@CarsWithSteve I'm loving it. I only have about 200 miles so far, but it is by far more comfortable and certainly better performance.

[@GeraldBieniek]

Thank you Steve for your very clear explanation. Can you help me further? I still do not know what the LM does or means.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome! The LIM button is for speed limiter.. It lets you limit the vehicle speed to the max speed limit detected by the traffic sign recognition system. So if the speed sign system sees that the road speed is 40 mph, your vehicle speed is limited to 40 mpg unless you press the accelerator to go faster. Useful if you have a ledfoot

[@GeraldBieniek]

@@CarsWithSteve thank you again Steve

[@CarsWithSteve]

anytime!

[@HA-kb1od]

How many inches is the steering wheel? I cannot seem to find this info anywhere. Is it a universal 15 inch?

[@waynespicer89]

I have noticed that to "reset" - say miles driven from the steering wheel it does not always respond on the first push and hold with the OK button and I have to repeat once or twice to get it to respond -- is that normal ? Noticed when you hit the reset button it looked like it did not change the first time you tried it ??

[@CarsWithSteve]

Oh interesting, I hadn't noticed that when I shot the video but looking at it closer it looks like you need to do the first press to bring up the reset option and then the 2nd press and hold would be to actually reset it!

[@waynespicer89]

@@CarsWithSteve Yes- that appears to be the answer- thanks !!

[@CarsWithSteve]

anytime! How are you liking the truck so far?

[@ryanhori6954]

Is that the lariat trim level?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes it is! Full build details are in the description of the video

[@zigarooSJunk]

when driving, if you press the “+” on the shifter, it will add the transmission 1-10 digits showing which gear it’s on.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Great tip!

[@michaelpapadakis2709]

This is the platinum version or the raptor?

[@CarsWithSteve]

This one was the Lariat!

[@michaelpapadakis2709]

I have the same car but mine don’t have sports mode and I’m curious why?

[@CarsWithSteve]

What spec do you have? Lariat, XLT? 4x2, 4x4?

[@thaitopfitness]

It's a little annoying that there isn't a pause/play button on the steering wheel, only skip forward and skip back. When I'm listening to a podcast while driving, I can't pause from the steering wheel and I don't like using voice activation because it's slow. It's annoying to have to use the big screen, get out of the maps, go into the podcast, and press pause from there. Or pick up my phone and press pause. Seems like there must be a better way. Am I doing something wrong?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Some sources might let you pause through the infotainment screen but it is unfortunate there's no easy to access pause button on the steering wheel. You could technically press the power button in the volume rocker to turn off the media
