New Ranger Purchase

[BigHen0213]

Photos of the 2024 Ranger XLT. It had 128 miles on it when I picked it up. Put 300 miles on it in one week. Also installed the foldable tonneau cover and Husky bug deflector to the hood.
New car smell, factory Weathertech style mats, SiriusXM for 3 months......I told my wife I wasn't doing any more mods to it but the fender lights bug me. Anyone know if the original LED style that fit 2019-2023 fits the 2024 models?

There was a loaded '24 Cactus Gray XLT on the lot when I was waiting for The Works. I really started thinking about an upgrade.

The question is why? Your truck had plenty more milage and taking a loan out for 30K

Just curious, which dealership did you buy, Greico? I used to live in Broward and bought my 2019 at Sawgrass in Sunrise. Had to special order it and it took a couple of months but they gave me the best deal at the time.

Pines Ford off Pines Blvd/University.

Yup, I know it. I test drove the first Ranger at Pines. Salesman had absolutely no knowledge of the vehicle he was trying to sell me. Eventually went to Sawgrass and they were willing to order one exactly like what I was looking for. Plus they didn’t charge any dealer fees. You picked one of the best colors for your new truck. Looks sharp.

Valid question. I noticed slight transmission hiccups when driving at lower speeds; bought new rubber less than 4 months ago and even after a wheel alignment I noticed it would not stay true when steering. Ball joints needed replacement and the tie rods were gonna be next. The hood was taking its toll with rock chips and a ton of little dents, creases, car door dings, etc.....I was in the position to capitalize on the vehicles' resale value versus what I owed. Had I kept it I would've paid it off 7 months early so I'll roll that same approach to the new one. Pay it down monthly faster with direct principal payments and the amount of interest they make is reduced by a lower balance to calculate against.

Yup I get it. I plan to drive the wheels off of my 2022

That looks nice, John. I love the Cactus Gray color and it's a shame it went away.

It went away for '25?

I would be surprised if it did. I know it's a cheap color for them to make ?
