New Ranger Owner (at long last!)

[TICKLE ZOMBIE]

Hi! Always wanted a truck as a kid and now at almost 50 years of age, finally got one.

Recently bought a 2022 XLT RWD Sport in Velocity Blue.

Test drive it and just had to have it! Has the 302a package with tow and electronic locking rear.

Got a Line-X liner (premium) 3 days ago. WeatherTech liners purchased, received, but damaged in shipment so a replacement set on the way.

Window tint next weekend, mud flaps and tailgate damper coming.

Love this truck! It’s so different from a car. It’s “bouncy” but smooth, quiet but I swear can hear the wind swirling around in the bed and only issue is that my wife has twice flung the doors open thinking that they weigh a lot. ? Have to pay attention to the hinges!

I am going to do a break in oil change at 1,000 miles and put in Castrol Edge with a Motorcraft filter.

Glad to be here!

After I bought mine I immediately noticed 3 others in the area. Mine is the only one without running boards, however.

I thought about upgrading the speakers but I think I can live with it for now.

I am debating upgrading the headlights to LED and I’m on the fence on a tonneau cover…I just don’t like the look.

My wife and I are starting to look at small campers, $10k or less.

I am avid outdoor exercise junky so the truck will be used mainly as a sport adventure vehicle in addition to being a daily driver.

Welcome, and grab your wallet.

Well done. Great looking truck.

Good luck getting that smile off your face. ?

 

[Canadian Ranger]

Nice truck! Smart with oil change too! In the Spring, do all your driveline fluids.

The halogens are fine actually. But like everybody else here I'm considering upgrading mine considering it will only cost a hundred bucks or so. Try them out in the dark of night and see what you think
