I'm using just the canned sct 93 octane tune and I'm happy with it. I think I paid $289 for just the tuner. You can always buy a custom tune later if you'd like.

What about them fancy double stitched britches you've got on?

Crap! I forgot to take delivery picts. Got side tracked as we can't get Ford Pass to connect.
Any tips? Never had that issue before.

Welcome to the family. Being a 2019 you probably have the collectible engine cover and hood struts. Just that many items to not to get! ?
And the under hood rubber weatherstripping & auto start stop button:)

I would do a factory reset and try again.

Weathertechs + ceramic window tint are necessary on all my new vehicles. In the ranger, I added a rhinoliner and a hard rollup tonneau with t-slots (can mount accessories above the bed). I'm also considering a tiny light bar for the empty space in the bumper.

Everyone installs the tailgate damper. I bought a cheap one and took it off, don't make the same mistake...buy the Deezee.

Not sure if you're towing, there is a ford module but it's insanely expensive (with and without ford labor, I think most quotes are like 600>1000$+). I looked at hardwire options, but eh nothing really looked good, and it's already cramped in the driver column. I ended up buying the curt echo wireless and I'm happy I did, works flawlessly.

If I didn't have the tremor already, I'd probably spring for suspension upgrades and tires (no pun intended). Alas I like the stock rake, but I think most members will want it leveled.

Signing for my Lightning Blue 2019 Lariat Ranger tonight. They let me bring it home for the weekend and we put it through the paces. 25k miles on it all stock except for a tonneau cover. The wife said have fun with it meaning I can make some "subtle" changes. Advice needed for the following...

Tuning - I've used Five Star on an F150 in the past, 5 liter, and it worked well. Other vehicles have always been custom dyno tuned, i.e. Cobra and Shelby. Any recommendations other than Five Star?

Lowering kit - I'm thinking to go all the way with the Belltech 3" / 6" lowering kit. When I called Belltech, the guy I spoke to did warn me about the stiffness of the ride. Any advice on this one? Are there other kits I don't know about?

Interior - Interior will need a tray for the center console beneath the arm rest.??

Exterior Looks - I will take off the FX4 stickers and ecoboost on the tailgate.
I think the side marker lights need to be tinted or replaced, including the one on the side mirrors. Available?
Not sure what to do with the tailgate and grill blue oval. - Thoughts?
Anyone making a blacked out or other replacement for the front fender Ranger Lariat insert right in front of the door?

Let me know what else I'm missing :like:
As the proud owner of a "Lightning Blue 2019 Lariat Ranger" with "25K miles on it" myself, all I can say is, good choice, man, and welcome to the forum! In my case, I went the other direction, up, not down, with the Ford Performance Leveling Kit, but to each his own. Still, if the place that sells lowering kits warns you about the "stiffness of the ride," proceed very carefully... As to tunes, there are a lot of differing opinions among forum members, expressed in many different threads, but I am happy with the Ford Performance version. One thing that we all agree on is that you need to put a damper on that sucker right away!
