Sport decal came off

[Georgej]

Removing the sticker from one side totally unbalances the truck and as a direct result lowers horse power on the side that is affected....
Your Ranger will be laughed at , at cruise-ins, and it will stop being a "chick magnet" !!!
It will also result in a lower trade in of about $1.02.

One of the best things about this forum is the humor. there's always someone that makes me laugh out loud. I'm probably going to remove the sticker anyway. It just annoys me that one came off after only two months. Hopefully this is not an indication of the quality of the truck in general. I really like this one, I'd like it to last me at least five years.

Took mine off after a couple of months.
Liked the truck better immediately.
Looked cheap to me on my truck anyway so good riddance.

2 months in and you're worried about trade in value?
by the time most people trade it in they're lucky if its not trashed to some degree.
stickers are the least of your worries.

and considering the carwash you're using....how fricken high is the pressure?

assuming it's not a touchless car wash?

I'm wondering if I should leave the decal off or have the dealer replace it. Not having the decals, does it affect trade in value when the time comes?

No, missing decals only affect the value if you have FX4 or Tremor. For example here is how I have added decals, badges, and a Carolina squat for maximum value.

I'm kidding of course.

I can see where it might have some affect with the decals missing for a private sale or possibly trade in. Some people like those decals to show what version they have. But if you want them then I'd go to the dealer to see if they will resolve it.

Yep with the magic of Photoshop.

To each their own. As soon as the weather warms up, I'm putting this on my hood!

A Pontiac "screaming chicken" on a Ford?

Son, have you lost your damn mind?

Gasser is the term you're looking for.

The Sport decal came off partially at the car wash today. Has this happened to anyone else? The truck is 2 months old. On the same side the paint chip protector in front of the rear wheel came off also, a couple weeks ago. On the driver side both are intact. I'm wondering if I should leave the decal off or have the dealer replace it. Not having the decals, does it affect trade in value when the time comes?

When I bought my '19 Ranger in February 2020....it had a torn FX4 decal on one side. They told me the car detail folks hit it with the high pressure hose and it tore....They gave me a new one (that thing is like $50)....I ended up buying aftermarket Kryptek FX4 logos to match my hood wrap. Evidently the original decal was not applied properly at the factory is what the dealer told me....

They shouldn't come off that easy, that's for sure. I had to use some force to get mine off when I got my truck.

I knew that...grew up in the era.
That is also my nickname after eating a bowl of my homemade chili !!!

Local used dealer used to add “Z71” stickers to Every silverAdo they ever sold. Finall got caught and sued.

Oh and how did the customer price it? Slipped onto the lot one afternoon and stared a conversation with the loys cleanup guy and he admired that he himself put the stickers on “all the time” himself. Customer was wearing a recording devise.

I took my 4X4 stickers off the day I bought it, they really didn't match the clean lines and color of my truck. They came off easy.

I made them take the darn FX2 decals AND the dealership decals off or I wouldn't sign papers.
