I took my 2020 4x2 XLT to the dealership to order my new 2022 4x4 Lariat 501A w/ tow package. I am going from Magnetic gray to Race Red too.
Got a surprise call on Wednesday that a truck like the one I order will be at the dealer on Thursday. I ordered a Lariat 4x4 Race Red on April 13th. They offered it to me at $1000 less than the price of my ordered ranger. The only thing missing was the tow package. I can always add one later for less than $1000. I picked her up today. Here are a couple of pictures I remembered to take today. I will try to remember to take a few more before I start installing mods from my old truck. I am sorry for everyone who is still waiting for theirs to arrive. I hope it is soon.

Explored an area previously destroyed by wild fire a few days ago! Did a big adventure weekend so lots of pics to come. Ranger took it like a champion!
great pics one of them is advertisement worthy, the white and red give a nice contrast on the truck.

Hi Steve,

Not this time, but in the past she had given a gentle shell scratch which is how you pet a tortoise...there are thousands of nerves on the inside of his shell so he feels it and to the tortoise it is a good feeling.

Best,
Phil
never knew that about the nerves under the shell!

Went from testing to see if my new 35s would rub at full flex to going "Full Retard" and getting stuck.

With trees around and a winch, you're never really stuck ;)

Good job getting out to play, and getting home.
In the Everglades on swamp buggy’s we kept a rear axle with the brake drum.
pound it into the ground at an angle and hook the winch to it,

Pfffft! Photos or it didn't happen!

I've heard of it, but never seen it in action. One day, I'm hoping to do some Florida mud slniging, maybe I'll get my chance to see it live :)

That’s nothing Doc. In Canada, we get our team of sled dogs from the back of the truck, harness them up, and they pull us out. ?

Hey @Doc - pics or it never happened, right?

That last one might be fake.

?
Nah.
It's a US EXPRESS truck.
They can't pull their way out of a wet paper bag.
I'm believing the pic.
Besides....DOGS!

Ranger Trail Ride in north GA.

9 Rangers and 5 of them were white ?

This is at the end of the ride and one had already left.

Please excuse the broken down Dodge in the pic as I haven't had a chance to Photoshop it out yet.

Great group and a fun day.
