New Members Introduce Yourself!

NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTION

Greetings to all my fellow Ford Ranger lovers,

I am new to the forum and proud to be a member. It is certainly nice to be an owner of an American truck. I purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger with an Access Cab and 6' bed, Lariat Blue. I previously owned a Toyota Tacoma (Glad to be rid of that one). I live in Idaho and proud to live in a free state. I have alot of plans to upgrade the Ranger and will start posting photos soon. Any Idaho brothers out there?

Hi Steve,

Welcome...hope you and your Ranger have a fun time together! We used to summer in Sand Point or Cor d Lane. Love Idaho in the Summer....Winter...NFW.

Best,
Phil

Howdy!
I am not new to the forum but I recently made the account. Last year I put in an order for a 2022 Ranger LARIAT Supercab 4x4 with black appearance package in carbonized gray. Currently waiting for it to start production which was supposed to be the week of 1/10/22. I'm still up in the air about sticking with 4x4 or changing my order to a Fx4 but I don't do any off-roading unless I'm driving through the hill towns with less than desired roads. I plan on trading in my current 18 Escape Titanium as the Ranger fits my needs better than the SUV. Once I get the truck I feel like the only thing I want to change is the tires and maybe look into a suspension kit. This will be my commuter and project truck!

Welcome! FX4 is good for the skid plates, trail modes and locker. Suspension is subjective as some like and some dislike. I had a 2020 with FX4 and it was fine for me. Even if you plan to change the suspension to Fox or similar the FX4 adds some good value items in my opinion.

Hi, im a lifetime ford guy, recently traded in a 2020 escape because it was the most horrible thing I've ever driven in the snow. I've had a couple full size broncos, several f150s, a couple f250s, an f350, explorers and mountaineers, a lightning, and a couple handfuls of mustangs, a extended cab ranger, and a supercharged 94 thunderbird. I've drove my new ranger in the snow the day after I got it, and it's more like what I'm used to. The drop in mpg is hurting, but I am more comfortable in the truck, and not feeling helpless in the snow is priceless. I plan on lurking and seeing what mods I need. I did look on here quite a bit before I bought this truck, so thank you!

First of all, welcome to the forum, lots of great folks with some solid knowledge, and secondly good luck with just tires and suspension, once you start modding it's tough to stop ??????

Thank you! I'm still up in the air if I want to change my order to Fx4.. I feel like I'll be fine with 4x4 but after reading up on a bunch of threads I might want to reconsider especially since I don't plan on getting another vehicle. Plus the Fx4 comes with the added access buttons for lighting and what not. Y'all are making me second guess myself haha.

Welcome to the forums. Lots of good info, lot's of back n forth ribbing, and lot's of knowledgeable members.
Let us know how much you plan to spend, and we'll make sure not to go over twice that amount...

I appreciate it! I was a post whore on the lightning forum back in the day, so I think I'll be ok. I really like the looks of the roll bar and soft cover on the ford accessories site, just a little sticker shocked by them. I drive too much so if it hurts mpg, I don't need it. Oh, and I'd like a bull bar to match. I like the 80s look. I'm almost 50.

Hi Everyone, I became a 2021 Lariat Tremor owner this past week. Thought I was going to order but my local dealer here in Colorado had the truck I wanted on their lot with 9 miles on it so I bought it. I've owned a 2016 F-150 (gas) and then a 2018 Ford Ram 2500 (diesel) based on past RV towing requirements. Enjoyed both those trucks. Needs/wants have changed. I wanted a truck that was a reasonable daily driver that can easily fit in my garage (hail alley here) and honestly "this goldilocks" has finally found her truck. It's blowing my mind how much of a sweet-spot the Ranger is of the right size, decent payload, engine power, fit and finish, and absolute fun to drive. Holy shit this is a "unicorn" truck. I will be adding around a 4,000lb off-road travel trailer to tow it in about a year or so. Anybody sitting on the fence on this truck run to your dealer and get your truck bought or ordered! When word gets out more about this truck it will be like the Bronco/Raptor/Tremor availability challenges IMHO. I have people talking to me at red lights about this truck....

Hi Everyone !

Just became a Ranger owner this past week. Upgraded from a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport into a 2020 Ranger RTR.

Regardless of it being a dream truck of mine, the Tacoma was underwhelming to say the least. After owning it for a while I just couldn't stand how gutless it felt and horrible shift points. Started looking at Rangers and found this one. Once I test drove it, it was game over. Amazing Truck with sufficient power.

Hi there Ranger5G, I ordered a 22 XL Supercrew 2wd w/ locker. Build week of march 7th
This will be my 4th Ranger, 2nd new one. Can’t wait!

Welcome, I am sure you will be very happy and that is a great looking Ranger.

Hey guys. My name is Kevin and I live in south Chicagoland. I recently bought a new 2021 XLT Tremor and love it. Any time I want to see how something looks on a Ranger I come to this site so I thought I should join. Haven’t done much to the truck except a Rhino bed liner and a lariat engine cover. Love seeing what y’all are doing to your trucks.

Welcome, Kevin! Great-looking Ranger!
