I joined the Ranger owners club again today!

Well, I did it! I traded my F150 for a 2022 Ranger Lariat! We pick it up tomorrow at 10. This is a picture from the dealer's website.

It's a very clean Avalanche Grey Supercrew. It obviously has a topper and also comes with a Bedrug and a Redarc TBC. I hope to get some better pictures when I get it home tomorrow. I would have preferred the spray in bedliner, and it may get one yet. I've had a bed rug in another truck. They are okay, but I tend to haul some rather nasty stuff at times. It probably won't stay as pristine as it is now if I leave it in. We shall see.

Nice color.

I have both spray in, and bedrug. My rug is just the floor/gate model, not the full size with the sides. It's nice having in there, keeps stuff from sliding to some extent, and easy on the knees when crawling around.

Nice color.

Rare. Only available with the Splash package in the Lariat 501a.

Welcome Russell, sure is shiny on the showroom floor. Take it out and get some dirt on it.

Looks good! On the bed rug note, if anything i'd just swap it for a proper rubber bed mat. Plus with the mat stuff is less likely to shift around, and you just pull it out if you need to hose out the bed.

Hope you don't mean "Fargo" nasty.... ?

Welcome and what a beautiful Ranger!

I love the BedRug and abuse it regularly - it has held up very well. Dirt, mulch, shredded leaves, sheetrock (as in sliding 11 sheets on edge on the BedRug), lake muck from wet kayaks, wet dog, cinder blocks.

LOL, I even accidentally melted a few holes in the flap connecting the tailgate pad to the bed (with a heat gun).

That's the one downside, for me, of the BedRug. In winter, here in New Hampshire, it gets wet and freezes, and then I can't open the tailgate.

Here's a busted up 100-year old baby grand - to be fair, I do often toss a heavy canvas tarp on the bed - mainly to be able to roll/pull out all the little bits of dump run goodness.

When I pulled up some of the BedRug to install the SwingCase brackets. I was surprised to see very fine leaf debris under it - but nothing I worry about. I do rinse it out in the summer and run lots of water between the BedRug and bed from the front of the bed. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't residue that could cause rust, but I don't worry about it.

Big plus one (+1) on having the TBC!

I'd love to hear how you like it after a month or two compared to the F150 you had.

Have fun and welcome to the best forum on Earth! =)

Welcome back nice color Ranger

Welcome to the group Russell. Great looking truck! I hope you enjoy it!

On our way home with it now. The boss is taking a turn at the wheel, so I’m hanging on for dear life ?

So far we’re getting 25.3 mpg indicated. The dealer filled it for me, so I have no idea what we’re burning nor do I know yet how far off the mpg meter is. I’ll hand calculate it a few tanks then adjust it with Forscan if necessary. I had to do that with the F150. I had that down to +/- .2 mpg.
No squeaks or rattles ?
Minimal wind noise ?
Ride is decent but not F150 smooth. I didn’t expect that with a shorter, narrower truck though.

The power folding mirrors will be a godsend in my tight garage space and the TBC was a bonus I could not have hoped for. Not that I couldn’t have put one in but having it already done makes me ?.

Well, close. An occasional dead critter. No dead humans though…so far?
