Hey hey, just picked up my truck two days ago and want to join the gang. Hope that's cool. I already posted a few times while doing pre-buying research, but this is the official official first post. I usually hang with the Subaru crowd, and I love my Forester, don't hate. I have to have a truck for work and Subaru doesn't make one....anymore...and I mean the BRAT not the Baja....So Ford gets my money. I downsized from a 2014 F150 FX4 to get the Ranger.
I scooped up a 21 Lariat FX4 Black Appearance Package, that I also had spec'd with the Level 2 Performance package and the Sport exhaust form Ford. Pretty much a Tremor without the graphics....and no waiting. Unfortunately, the performance tune is not ready for the 21s yet. Pretty big disappointment there as I didn't find that out until after I rolled the package into the financing. Hopefully it won't take too long for the folks at CARB to certify the tune...it's not going to take me too long to get through 1000 miles.
FYI, my dealer had no idea about this particular fact (or the Performance Package in general) and Ford Performance seemed angry when I asked them about it. I suspect they know they jumped the shark on this a bit. Then again, it was via email and it can be hard to judge tone. However, Livernois Motorsport does support tuning for the 2021s in case you were wondering....I talked with them as well. So at least there is a plan B if the wait becomes extended.
Anyhow, I love the Ranger. I suspect it will be even better after I can upload the extra horses and torques. And I'm out. Pics below:
