New guy here! I’ve had my 2019 Ranger for a week. I love it so far. Details below.

2wd XLT Sport Chili Pepper Red
Only some basic mods so far. Tinted front windows, Weathertech floor mats, Line-X, and a Drawtite trailer hitch (1/3 the price of the Ford hitch).

I have a few other things I’d like to add. First an exhaust because I just like the way this engine sounds. My neighbor has a Mustang and his sounds pretty sweet for a 4 cylinder. Second I’m trying to decide on a storage solution for the bed as I have 2 kids still in boosters and won’t normally have much room in the back seat.

I haven’t leveled it yet, but it does appear that way!
I am in the process of installing "Ford Ranger Lifts" 2.5 inch spacers on my 2020 4x2, the procedure is relatively simple.
However there is a vital step not mentioned in the installation instructions, I'll post pics and comments when I am done.

2019 Ranger supercrew XLT 4x4
Bought my supercrew XLT Ranger FX4 Jan 31 2020 (2019 model). Traded in my 2013 crew cab Ram 4x4. Looking to make my truck into a quasi overlander. Since I sleep in a hammock not sure best route to accomplish my goals. So far have ordered a draw-tite receiver hitch. Exploring options on adding 7 pin plug and whatnot to take full advantage of the tow rating

Hello All,
I just bought this as my first pickup truck ever in 40 years of driving. I researched trucks for over a year and was sure it was going to be a new F150. I looked at the Ranger but thought "no way will I buy a 4 cylinder pickup". I kept feeling like the F150 was too much truck and looked at the Ranger again and started to understand the appeal. I am also a "car guy" and really wanted something that felt a little sporty. All that to say that I could not be happier with the truck. My wife and I could not believe how smooth it is and I have had several strangers comment on it in just the first 5 days of ownership. Looking forward to being a "truck guy" for a while.

Welcome! And kudos to you for overcoming the all too prevalent "no way will I buy a 4 cylinder pickup" judgement!
