Whether it is a rainy night causing every road to look indistinguishable or an off-road adventure into the unknown—we can all get lost from time to time. What if there was a way to fearlessly take on new adventures without getting lost? Ford understands this and is here to help. Introducing the Ford Ranger’s new Breadcrumbs technology. By offering a re traceable “breadcrumb” path, you will be able to return home without the stress of relocating landmarks.
When the SYNC 3 navigation settings are enabled, the Breadcrumbs feature acts as a background application that will drop a virtual pin every so often while you are venturing off the pavement. When you feel the need to return, you will be guided back to your starting point by retracing each pinpoint. This second-by-second navigation system is based on satellite technology and is included in the Ford Ranger’s navigation system. The Satnav Breadcrumbs feature is also available on XLT and Lariat series trucks. Lastly, Breadcrumbs is available on other Built Ford Tough trucks equipped with the same SYNC 3 and navigation technology.
The Ford Ranger isn’t only equipped with SYNC 3 navigation settings. This vehicle can be equipped with an FX4 Off-Road Package, leaving you with a plethora of valuable resources for your next exploration. This includes an electronic locking rear differential and Terrain Management System with Trail Control. These features will aid with situation-based traction needs. With accessories including a winch-capable front bumper and leveling kit, your ground clearance and rugged styling will improve tenfold.
Don’t let the challenge of navigation stop you from seeking out experiences outside of your comfort zone. From here on out, the Breadcrumbs feature will have your back, and all of your navigation stresses will dissipate. Whether you are taking your trip on the road or off, your Ranger adventures will become unforgettable memories—even when the navigation itself slips your mind.
