I ordered a cactus grey 4x4 XLT, with off-road, 302A tech package, cruise control follow, lane keeping assist, off road, tow package, blackened, and maybe even a few other options in July, 21.
I was notified of it being set for production in mid Sept, that changed to late Sept. That changed to mid October, that changed to nobody knows when I'll get it.. Next update was from the dealer letting me know the 21 model year order was cancelled, and replaced with a 22 model year. Next update was late Feb telling me it was going to be built in March. The date changed a couple of times. About 10 days ago it started production. That lasted 5 days. Never got a "shipped" update. Instead the dealer called me Monday and told me it was there. And I could pick it up the next day (yesterday, 4/19).
The 302A package went from including heated seats to no heated seats mentioned. This frustrated me to no end because in July the dealer had a cactus grey on the lot, with tow package, but no heated seats. I'm at the age where I need heated seats year round lol. So they told me I could get $1k rebate if I ordered, so I took the chance and waited.
Well, it HAS HEATED SEATS! I'm so happy about that! And they are HOT HOT HOT! Truck is awesome.
And when I went to sign paperwork, my sales rep told me the rebates changed, and I was ready to hear I lost the $1k but she said now there's more, so I get $2750 (I think this was the amount. I remember thinking it all but covers the 7% tax). So out the door was a little under $41k. That was a fantastic deal and I'm happy to have waited.
A few things.. I wish I had gotten push button start. I'm not even sure if it was an option? The key hole is hidden by the steering wheel, so I need to lean over to see it. And the key is a flip key, so taking it in and out of my pocket requires opening and closing nearly the equivalent of a switch blade.
The low speed vibration is real. It's subtle but noticable. And I've read it's pretty common and something to with drive shaft rotation speeds before it winds out, or whatever. I think a few weeks of driving it and I'll be used to it and not even notice it.
The burn smell.. I've never driving a this new of vehicle (6 miles when I left the lot). When I first got out I thought it was burning something. Smelling around, it's pretty much everything that's rubber. I guess the first few times stuff gets hot it smells that way.
Everything else is pretty awesome. Goes 75 and feels like it's floating (which was way faster than I thought I was going. My old jeep made too much noise at 75. 60 was easy to keep just based on the shake and sounds haha). Stereo sounds great. Seats are comfortable as hell. I'm 6'5" and have plenty of leg and head room. Fun stuff!
I hope y'all get your rangers soon!
