1. Collaborative effort to add Adaptive Cruise Control to my Lariat (I was #2 but #1 in the States)
2. FORScan settings
3. Adding Terrain Management
4. Redtek window module
5. Working on adding Trail Control

Whoa I can add the Terrain Management stuff without getting FX4??!!!

Also, is the tailgate damper thing a meme or something? It seems actually kinda useful.

M12X1.5

Thanks. I was thinking 12.5X1.5 for some reason

 

[ROBERTECOX]

carplay2air for wireless iPhone connect and the wireless charging tray...

Not sure if you're trolling/sarcastic or asking a legit question - I'll go with the latter.

Yes, do a quick search. You buy the new console knob, install it and then activate the features with FORScan. It's one of the first things I did after I bought the interface on Amazon. (Highly recommend the higher dollar interface that's spec'd out by the FORScan folks)

Thanks, I’m not trolling. Still new to these forums and to the new gen rangers. I’ve only been researching Ranger stuff for just over a week. For sure, I’ll be grabbing whatever I need for forscan.

You're welcome, Don!

You won't regret that decision.
I'm happy to help!

 

[puckdodger]

hmmm.

in no particular order...

Forscan to disable all the chimes and weird noises on entry/startup/exit.

Rear Eibachs.

Redtek Windows.

Putco Grille.

Unleashed.

Bed Step.

I'm sure there are more to come, but I don't count the foam cannon and graphene stuff that @AzScorpion is always pushing.

 

[DonB]

One thing I did learn is the halogen lights in the XLT are just fine.
No need for an upgrade.
Go figure.

 

[Msfitoy]

Has anyone mentioned Dave @AzScorpion ...he's the most important mod that I know of...

Most arn’t really mods but additions and things Ford stole from me for MY22:

1. Most used/loved by the whole family: @DirkM ‘s wireless charging pad with CarPlay module taped to the bottom of it and fast charging wired to fusebox.

2. Forscan. So many fun things you can do. Speed limit sign recognition, killing the door chimes, disabling the the honk when you get out without shutting off the truck, etc. Oh, and my kids’ favorite, the Ford Performace cobra on the startup screen.

3. Trac Electronics power mirror module. From Australia, cheaper than RedTek, unfolds mirrors when truck is started and folds them back in when doors are locked. Love this.

4. DEEEEZEEEEE! Within 2 minutes of bringing my truck home my daughter nearly brained herself dropping the tailgate. If I was a better father this would be higher on the list but I love those other things so much. To be fair to myself it was the first change made to the truck.

5. Spray in bed liner. My god the paint scraped easily. So glad to have this and the local shop did a great job.

6. $200 trifold tonneau cover from Amazon. Thanks, Uncle Bezos.

7. Metal2Mountains cover for the huge stupid hole below the grill of my truck. One of the first things I ordered after ordering the truck itself. It makes me feel better and thats good enough. It also plays well with the adaptive cruise. I was a little worried about this but no issues at all.

8. Redline hood struts. Thanks Redline, no thanks Ford.

9. Soft, removable bed liner. Works well with my soft arms from owning a tailgate dampener.

10. Misc., tailgate lettering. Stickers, less is more. Tie downs Ford deleted. Cover for key fob...

Edit:
11. OH. I forgot my Ford Performance grille. I used the original surround off of my Tremor grill to give it a two tone color look. This actually required a little modification! I used my FordPass points so it was a $50 mod and I somewhat consider myself an expert at taking off the the grille now.

Edit 2: Uh-oh. I think I got my first WOW face from @P. A. Schilke It’s kinda like when the 8th grade wood shop teacher gives you that look. Not sure if it’s a good WOW or bad WOW but least this time I can say I was drinking.

I loved all the mods - thanks for sharing! I need to go buy a center console tray and DeeZee tailgate damper - I had no idea I needed them.

My mods were Firestone airbags for extra support for my RSI Smart Cap (which I love!). I added an AVS bug guard/hood shield after several rock strikes to the windshield and the terrible water pooling in the center of the hood and most importantly, I installed Baja Designs Squadron fog lights - they have made such a huge improvement to tricky visibility scenarios and night time driving.

I haven't got my XLT Ranger yet, but two that I made particular note of were: Bilstein rear shocks and see if I can get adaptive cruise control going.

I like the Eibach, FYI. I like them because the fronts are adjustable.

Blistein shocks and Clear View mirrors.
