Ford Inventory Search Tool is Worthless.

[RangerDangerStranger]

Apparently, Ford wants to tell me what and where to buy. Apperently, it's designed to kiss dealers rears. What a mess. It Doesn't even have FX2 in there vehicle package search options yet, already been out for 7 months. Stupid vehicle locator always defaults to 20 miles when you make ANY change, only 'lets' you search 100 miles out, and populates with whatever Ford thinks you ought to buy, Instead of what you want. It's worse then worthless. I used Autotrader's search feature to find one with the features i want, IN THE COLOR I WANT~!!!@!!!.

?? Rant off..

I agree! I've tried using this tool so many times and it's horrible.

But, I can see why Ford does that. Maybe the blue Ranger you want isn't in stock with the options you want, but how about this other one? It's close enough, right? Go check it out and see what you think.

Like the Dealer who told me he found the Supercab Locking diff Ranger i wanted in a Crewcab with an open diff. Hey, i found your Ranger in a crew Cab! Really, Did you also fine the red ranger i wanted in a Blue? lol.

Special order exactly what you want and never look back 100% worth it.

What irritates me is: no checkbox for locking rear end (except for FX4 package). I wanna 2x4, really.
Edit: cool hack, Ranger!

You'll definitely get what you want, but your ability to get better discounts from dealers wanting to get trucks off their lot goes out the window.

The dealer inventory search is difficult because you have to keep pulling up the window sticker to see all the options.
