2021 Ranger Supercab
Hi All, JP from British Columbia. Ordered my '21 XLT, FX4, SuperCab back in November. It arrived the end of January, then, after waiting like a kid waits for Christmas, my ARE topper finally arrived 2 weeks ago. Just got back from my first off-road camping trip (4 days) in the BC mountains and I tell ya, I love the Ranger even more on the back roads than in the city -- and I love it in the city!

'21 Ranger Lariat 2WD
Hello, everyone! I am a first-time truck owner, having driven sedans for 30-ish years and am so-far loving the new Ranger I picked up about a month ago. I plan on getting a large pop-up camper in the next year or so, and was pleased to have found such an excellent truck to do the job. I have been lurking here for quite a while and made some purchases based on recommendations that members have made, all of which I also endorse and have included non-affiliate links in my signature block.

Welcome to the family. I have a special appreciation for folks that do their homework. Seems you fit that nicely. Got the club accessory so a pat on the back is deserved. If @Texasota tries the same welcome take a handshake. ?

Drove six hours each way on this holiday weekend to pick up a '19 XTL in Orlando.

Equipped exactly as I wanted it. I move motorcycles frequently and am looking forward to not having to tow a trailer all the time.

My '01 Aztek has been a real trooper but its age is starting to make me a bit nervous. Only things replaced in 21 years of ownership were the starter motor and the upper manifold gasket (a common enough issue with this motor that GM lost a class action lawsuit over it. Lawyers got millions, I got a $300 off the repair coupon :)

Probably not a monster deal but given the current environment I am feeling happy about it: It's in like new condition, 19k miles, has the spray in bed liner, tow package, running boards, all the electronic aids and actual keys (no @&#! push button start). Exactly $28k out the door.

Looking forward to hanging out here.

Nice SuperCab Tom. It’s a really fun truck to own.

I always wondered who that one guy who bought an Aztek was and now he’s here on Ranger5g. Nice! ? I hope you get as many trouble-free years out of your XLT.

New member checking in from west central Ohio. First Ranger, but my fourth Ford truck. Downsized from F150's but have no regrets. It's been a fun driver. Going in soon for a leveling kit, wheels and tires.
Welcome Mike - you’re off to a good start!

Bought my 21 Ranger Lariat 8 days ago.

Started reading this forum right away, and quickly saw the value in ForScan, so I bought the cable and so far I have changed the panic button to double press, and turned off the fake engine noise. Taking it slow on changes, but there are other options I'm thinking of.

Today I had my Solid Fold 2.0 bed cover installed.

I also ordered a wireless keypad for easy unlocking when we go camping in a few weeks.

Looking forward to more customization and enjoying reading all about my Ranger here. I've owned a couple of other rangers in years past, then an Explorer Sport Trac for 13 years. For the last 5 years, I've driven Silverados but was offered a nice trade in on that, and went for the new vehicle over the 5 yo 88k one.
Welcome cpn.

2021 Ranger XLT SCAB 4x4
Howdy - just got my new 2021 supercab XLT with sport package, locking diff, running boards. Great little car. I am a little envious of the lariat (and the base lariat was in line with the XLT i got).

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction - i swear i read a thread about someone tapping into the rear power points to add a 12v plug IN the center console. I cannot find the thread now and have spent some time searching. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
