Another poor design by Ford manufacturing. While shopping for Rangers and noticing Fords in general of the same era, I've noticed the worn condition of the Cruise Control buttons located to the left center of the steering wheel. There are inferior plastics and design that were taken into consideration when this feature was implemented. View any foreign version, take notes and you can come up with something much better I'm sure. You sometimes get the feeling this was intentional or down right lazy engineering.
