Picked up our new 2019 4x2 today. It was manufactured Oct 1, 2019. Only disappointment was that the seats are missing the embroidered RANGER on the back, like the 2020’s. The good thing is that the navigation maps are the 18 version so I don’t have to mess with that again. It looks identical to our totaled truck.
After going over our new truck with a clay bar to clean all the rail road crap off of the paint before applying the PPF and sealant, I did notice that the paint job on this new truck is quite a bit better than the one we totaled. Our totaled truck had a lot of dark gray specs between the base coat and clear coat. I clay bared it as well. These specs were pretty much distributed all over the truck. This new one is spec free and the paint is super smooth with no orange peal, the way it should be.

Where’s all the White Platinum out there? I gave mine the clay bar, hydroslick & seal ‘n shine treatment and the colour looks absolutely amazing in the sun. My other tricoat white ride is in the reflection, a Crystal White Pearlcoat Mazda 3 GT-E.

Me Three - although mine doesn't get the garage - it stays outside.

The white platinum sure glows in the sun!

Yay for power folding mirrors ! :clap:

Can you park unassisted ?

Or do you need a spotter ?
Unassisted. No spotter needed.

I'm glad this Ranger has power folding mirrors. No need to get out.


Oh.....one more picture!! I forgot to add one. This is how close the door is to the bumper when I open it.

It leads into the house.

Occupation

I'm late here to the White Platinum Club.

My wife and I like white. Her Santa Fe is Quartz White.

I was leaning towards Oxford White until we drove and saw
White Platinum in sunlight. More $$$, but worth it. We plan to keep our Ranger for many years.

SCab's are not plentiful. Found nothing close to what I wanted.

Special ordered in late February . . . then pandemic :thumbsdown:

Finally built in mid June, arrived at the dealer on July 4th. Fireworks were launched everywhere celebrating the arrival !

2020 Lariat SCab, 501A, FX4, Sport, Tow, Toughbed Spray-in liner.

Still haven't found the "SCrew only" B&O Sound System I paid for. :mad:

Upgrades added by dealer prior to delivery:
  • Ford Fox 2.0 Leveling kit
  • Toyo Open Country LT265/70 R17 tires
  • Window tint (lifetime guarantee)
  • 3M PPF on everything facing forward and sides up to the fold
  • Tailgate lettering
  • Tailgate damper :bandit:(dealer added for free, didn't tell me, I was surprised to find it during pre-delivery inspection)
Pleased with all dealer installed upgrades. Especially the leveling kit and Toyo tires which are much better than FX4 suspension on stock Hankook tires.

Upgrades include (with links):
On the way:
  • Always something !!!
Looking for:
  • Bed rack w/RTT or popup truck camper or trailer

This truck is FUN TO DRIVE !!! (and easily fits in our garage)

Pics below from 7/20 next day after driving our new Ranger home !

1228 miles and still smiling ! ?

Edit: Added a more recent pic below. Late afternoon light shows the White Platinum color better. Too bad Ford dropped this beautiful color for 2021.

Beautiful truck! I think that’s the first white platinum Supercab I’ve seen, you can’t even buy one in Canada If you wanted one.

SCabs were scarce on lots at the time, especially Lariat trim.

Saw two SCrews with all options and color I wanted. Hoping to sell me a SCrew, dealers asked, "So, why do you want a SCab?" I ordered.

Ok, here she is! Delivered last week

2020 Lariat FX4, no other options except WP paint

first things we did...

• Got it a bit dirty
• Washed it
• Pulled off the FX4 decals (like the cleaner look, to my eyes the decal is err cheesy)
• Put a coat of NuFinish on it

Next week, dealer will add

• Cooper ATS 4S +1".
• Plastic Bed Liner
• Lo Pro Bed Cover

Some day in the future thinking about...

• Ford/Fox or Old man EMU shocks
• Do something about that chrome grill
• Maybe custom it up with a dark blue hood stripe different or platidips wheels...etc.. :crazy:

Yeah you can tell a lot of thought went into that truck. Esp. like the monochrome FX4 decal you must have put on yourself.
