2021 Ford Ranger Tremor
Occupation
Quality Assurance
Just wanted to say hello. I recently joined the group after finding a lot of cool stuff here. I recently purchased a 2021 Tremor. My first Ranger was a simple black 2WD base model 89 Ranger. I loved that truck. Wish I never got rid of it but I ended up trading it in for a brand new 1995 Splash. That was my baby for years. Had a few other Rangers over the years including a 96 Splash that I got on e-bay. That one was chopped. I ended up selling both of them when our second child came along. At that time I had the two trucks and an Edge. We then upgraded to a Flex for a few years. Now that the Flex is paid off and the kids are older it is time to get back into a Ranger. Found a great deal on a 2021 Ranger Lariat with the Tremor package. Was pretty much stock when I got it. I don't get into too many upgrades but I like to make it my own. My wife has already tried to get into two different trucks because she is not familiar with ours yet! LOL The first couple of things I did was the shock dampener and getting smoked out side markers on the fenders and the mirrors. Then it was time to get the lettering for the tailgate. I went with the 2 tone red on black to compliment the red on the front of the truck. It really looks great. Better than the pics can show. The next change is I got the magnetic smoke emblems that they offered for that year to replace the blue ones. I did not get the black bezel on the back so I am going to plasti-dip that with gloss black when I have the emblem off. I will share pics when I get that upgrade done. I think I am going to paint the tow hooks on the front red as well. I have seen a few trucks here that look great with that change.

Sorry for the long intro. Here are some pics that go along with the story.

Welcome Nick,

Enjoy your new ride and making it your own. Your older Rangers look great!

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how you can mention “upgrades” and “dampener” in the same breath. ;)

Beautiful truck! And welcome to the smartest (both as brains and asses) bunch of awesome Ranger owners.

There ain't nothing tech that I've ever seen unanswered.

And there ain't any money safe from all the mods we'll talk you into getting (by "talk", in my case it's the mere mention of anything that sets me a spending!).

Here's a super handy loss of my money and can be yours too:

Get a damper and all the 303 products (I have enough Graphene to last a lifetime). =p

If this isn't you, than your doing your Rangering all wrong! =D

Welcome to the group Nick! Awesome that you've got such a rich history with this fantastic truck. I hope you enjoy your '22 just as much as you enjoyed your '89 and '95's!

I started with the Ranger back in the year 2000 when I purchased an awesome '91 STX with jump seats. Ohhhh the memories :like:

Thanks for all of the greetings! I had to laugh at quite a few of your responses. (especially the tailgate damper comment because it is true, not a real upgrade)

My wife though that since we got a truck with a lot of extra features already that I would not be making any changes to the truck! 😂
