New Members Introduce Yourself!

[Bsenecal]

Very nice wel

Scott from Virginia. I'm not really a new member but I had left for a while and now I'm back. I had a 2019 Ranger and traded it for a 21 Bronco Sport. While I didn't have any issue with the Bronco Sport I had been regretting that decision and had been wanting back in a Ranger. Last week I took my wife's Fusion in for service and saw this 22 Cactus Grey on the lot. Was able to work out a deal I was happy with and brought it home today.

Very nice, welcome back.

Jeremy. 31yo from San Diego. I had a 2003 stick shift Ranger back in the day and knew I'd be back again. Now, many years later, with two kids, my wife and I traded my Xterra for a new Hyundai Palisade and I started driving my wife's Sonata. It got too frustrating trying the thread a squirming 2 year old through the gap between the car seat and door jamb. I needed a truck. I rented a Taco when the Palisade was in the shop for a bit, wasn't impressed. Test drove the redesigned Frontier, was also not impressed. It would take a lot of add-ons for the Frontier to get as feature rich as the Ranger. Test drove the Ranger and fell for it.

Been loving the Ranger every day ever since. I haven't done anything to it yet though it's only been about 2000 miles. I bought the RANGER decal for the tailgate indents and plan on applying that soon. I do see a travel trailer in our future, so I'll have to choose wisely to fit the family and not overload the Ranger.

I'm also considering either a drop-in cargo liner or spray liner for the bed and add either a shell or bed cover. Any opinions on those will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Spray in liner...

Spray in liner...

Looks good. Where are all your tie downs?

In the garage.

In the garage.

That's good, for a minute I thought maybe they were in the "deleted items with spray in liner" category.

That's gook, for a minute I thought maybe they were in the "deleted items with spray in liner" category.

Were you referring to the tie down fixtures on the truck (they are stock) or to the tie down straps?

The six tie down handles that came on the early trucks.

Just checked and found these mounting holes on each side...is this where the other two handles are supposed to be?

 

[OrangeStreak]

Thanks! They are part of the Splash package.

I've liked the splash packages since they 1st came out earlier!

Yes, just wanted to make sure the liner installers hadn't left them off. Some trucks came with four.

Thanks for catching that! I'm not sure if the truck came with 4 or 6? I have 4 now and hope the liner guys didn't leave those two off if it came with 6? I need to find out. Does yours have 6?

According to the thread Ford either eliminated them the last part of 2019 or stopped installing them in 2020. I will check the brochure and with my Dealer to confirm. Thanks again for noticing this.

Normally I am not a fan of graphics. But, dang, that is really nice looking. Love the black against that cactus grey. Nice find dude! You scored!
