took ol silver in to get the windshield recall done, they gave me a spankin new 150 Lariet FX4 as a loaner (200 Miles on it). Ohh how roomy! if that would fit in the garage the wife would lose this one! :)

I had F150's for years but now they're just way to big. The Ranger still looks way nicer!

I'd be in an f150 if it wasn't a mortgage payment for the powerboost...

It's only $68K!!??? I got on it and was really impressed how the 5.0 sounded only to get home and spot the ecoboost on the tailgate... Tha V8 sound from the radio is hilarious :) makes me chuckle just thinking about it

LOL

When I was truck shopping I started at the full-size trucks and the gf started to give me the look when I was talking about spending >70k ok a truck.... So when I told her my ranger was only 45 she was over the moon... LOL

Also, my nickname on another forum is LB.... Strange.

That's the primary reason I bought the Ranger...the F-150 wouldn't fit in the garage.
Glad now that it worked out that way.
By the way, I think your truck is prettier.

Ewwwww

Part out?
I had seen one of these done on a 2019 Ranger during the short time I worked at a Ford dealership after moving to Florida. It's a complete dash out operation and HUGE in book time!

I remember the picture you posted of it. That right there scared me enough into thinking they would never get mine back together without rattling. lol I know some have had theirs done with good results but many others said theirs squeaks/rattles now. That would drive me more crazy than having to spend 15 minutes twice a year manually changing mine over.

This has to be the easiest mod yet, even easier than putting in the Husky liners (which I placed over a wrench that took me 30 minutes to locate!). =D

The Start-X was so easy, just a little awkward to first plug in, but super easy. The "programming" went just like the couple of steps illustrated and it works! Maybe took five minutes from start to finish, including getting the flashlight out of the glove box.

I have Ford Pass but typically have my location turned off (not that I'm paranoid, my colander helmet shields me anyway), and then it takes close to a minute for the app to actually load up and then another lag before the truck actually starts. And, not too often, but it'll go to deep sleep and can't be started (that sucks). Plus I want to start the truck as I'm walking to it from the store and now be fumbling with a phone (damn Al Gore internet, that'll blow over soon enough, it's just a fad). =p

Start-X is like magic and it starts withing 10 seconds. This is one of the best mods, for me, so far.

Just follow the directions and the easy to understand LED lights guide you easily to success (don't mind the filthy floor mat, this is a pickup truck). =p

Final step - stick the instructions in the overpriced, and previously deleted, owner's manual bag.

I had to put air in the tires. Dropped almost 45 degrees the last week and they are shrinking from the cold. My last vehicles had nitrogen and were stable. That dash pressure readout is right on with my gauge.
