Greetings from WNC, First truck 20' Lariat

[Busted]

Howdy everyone, been a long time lurker and decided to finally join up. Recently picked up this 2020 Ranger Lariat 4x4 and have been enjoying it. It's been a big change compared to previous vehicles, it is my first truck. Previous car was a 17' Mini Countryman S ALL4.

I've got a list of things I want to do but here is what I've done so far.

- WeatherTech window deflectors
- TuxMat all weather floor mats
- Unleashed 93 tune
- 1 step colder plugs
- S&B Intake
- S&B wide mouth scoop
- GFB VTA+ BOV
- PPE Transmission pan
- Fitz Stick
- Method 709HD 17x8.5 +25 wheels, Nitto Terra Grappler G3 tires 265/70/17
- Tucked Air Dam mod
- Smoked side indicators
- RANGER inlay on tailgate
- Removed 4x4 sticker, chrome side steps, wrapped chrome mirror caps black, removed EcoBoost badge
- Maintenance stuff (brake fluid flush, fresh trans filter, trans oil, transfer case fluids, diff fluids front & rear, oil and oil filter, brake pads)

I believe that about covers what I've done so far. Bed cover was already on the truck when I got it, but its a tri-fold hard cover.

Air dam mod? Did you get your free t-shirt?

I did not get my free t-shirt. Thank you for the guide and idea though, looks much better without the skirt. Looks like an actual truck now.

Now I'll probably be helping a buddy do his.

Add extended warranty to that list and you’re good

Add extended warranty to that list and you’re good

Got that as well, hopefully I don't need to ever use it.

 

[underwhelmed]

I used mine for the infamous HVAC issue, the driveshaft replacement and the rear ring / pinion replacement. Definitely got my money back and then some!

Welcome to the Ranger. Whereabouts in WNC?

Dang how long have you had it, that is a nice mod list. Man, I am not tuned but I have an intercooler, charge pipes done then down pipe. While the Mishi intercooler/pipes made a slight improvement in throttle, the down pipe wow, turbo spools up right away now. I would look into that.

I am so tempted to throw a tune on it but always was afraid of it for warranty reasons.

Extended warranty is the most important, glad you got it. My AC compressor recently failed and thank goodness the stepper motor issue was duplicated on the tech when there. That alone paid for it all and then some. Hope if my trans gives me issues it is when I am home and not towing but so far that has been good, engine at 50k miles, freak rod bearing issue but whatever.

Looks good Robert. Here’s your free t-shirt…

One size only - Extra Manly - wear it proudly!

He moved into your place while you were up here.

 

[IdahoRanger]

Welcome Robert, great list of mods and nice looking Ranger.

 

[LaBalbe]

He moved into your place while you were up here.

Fortunately, I used to play tennis with the first Special Forces soldier to set foot in Vietnam. He may be gone now, but he was a legend down at Bragg all the way up until his death, and I can neither confirm nor deny knowing some of his successors.
