Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome! I think you'll find this community a great resource (but make sure you hide your wallet from yourself... buying one of these trucks is just the beginning... )

definitely stay away from here What did you do to your Ranger today?
many, many mods you don't need but have to have. Thread mods is like lays chips can't just have one.

Yup. It's the required first mod. (Also likely the cheapest one you'll ever do!)

Tailgate damper, the gateway mod. Seemingly harmless, but evidence suggests that.... (fill in the blank) Haha

Welcome Clyde, you will really enjoy the Ranger. Also, if the used Rangers in your area are priced like the ones in my area (NC), with the discounts and incentives you may be able to get a new one at the same price. They are crazy high around here. Good luck on your search.

Very true, i was all set to order Ranger XL STX Scab, but end of the year $6100 rebates on XLTs made them cheaper than the XLs. Very happy with my XLT Scab 301A package for 2000 less than XL STX i was going to order.

Think I’ll remain neutral and just take the tailgate off. I’m actually just going to leave everything “as-is” for a couple of months before I make any decisions. A damper would be nice, but I’ve lived without dampers on my other two Rangers and managed to survive.

I have been looking about 3 months for the truck I want. Inventories for new trucks within 100 radius isn‘t very good with most dealers having 1-3 trucks. Used isn’t much better. I have come across 6-10trucks within a 500 mile radius and all are asking $36-40k for a fully loaded Lariat. 501A,
tow package, Sport Package, bedliner, running boards, FX4. Usually with a color that does not appeal to me.

It is amazing. When I ordered my Ranger with all the money off it was cheaper than any used one I could find.

Name's Clyde and I had an 83 and 98 Rangers (both 4x4 and bare bones models) and looking at a used 19 FX 4 via Carmax. I sold my 98 to buy a new 2017 Mustang GT. The GT was a blast to drive and I still enjoy it. It was my dream car since I first saw the 1964 1/2 model. But family and life always came first so I waited until I knew my family was secure before I got the car. However a truck is more practical and I will be getting rid of the GT in anticipation that the Ranger is in acceptable condition. Pic of my old 98 Ranger.

My dad had owned a 93 Ford Ranger and had that sucker for almost 15 years, and the analog odometer went over the max...lol, finally got ride of it. Me my self owned few different trucks....first being a 1996 dodge dakota, then a 2001 Nissan Frontier then went back and bought a 2011 Dodge Dakota and it finally decided to retire itself(the repairs were just to expensive), so I decided to give the Ranger a try and I just purchased a 2020(manager's special with 2000 miles on it) Ranger XLT 4x2. So far I am loving it!

We had very similar Mustang tastes.

Nice set up! I think it's odd that we both have a red decal on the driver's side rear quarter window!

HI Bo,

I hope your Ranger supports and makes you happy for many miles. It comes from a Heritage of Rangers starting in 1982½ that delivered a robust vehicle capable of many miles of service. I am proud to be part of this herritage for the last 5 years of my career, and I up held this heritage including the launch of the FX4 brand.

Best,
Phil
