This is what I just purchased. The Lightning Blue is the best color available. Too many black and white vehicles out there.

18" Wheels

I love this truck, although it barely fits in the garage.

Need advice. I want to go with the blue Lariat, 4x4, with 501A, FX4, but not sure about whether to get the chrome package, sport package, or what.
I saw the pics of the blue without the chrome package....i.e. magnetic accents on bumper/grill/fenders/rims... like the look, but not prefer the 18 inch rims and not sure which looks better without a sidebyside comparison. I like chrome, but saw these pics of the magnetic accents...nice!. I plan to get an ARE cap once they're available, so I have to consider that too.
I have ordered essentially the same package that you describe above--except that I switched from the Sport to the Black Appearance Package at the last minute! That gives you blacked-out 18 inch wheels and a black spray-in bed-liner, as well as black bash plate (on FX4) and black running boards (for my petite wife). To me, the Sport package is nice in terms of appearance, but it does not really add any usable features. Chrome I find to be too much "bling," but this is just one individual's subjective reaction, and I understand that a lot of guys like it. Anyway, still waiting to take delivery so do not know what mine will look like "in the flesh"!

I was looking at the Sport App package until the announcement of the Black Package - that's what I ordered. I'm with you - I like the black wheels, bash plate, fender badges, and grill (though, that will likely be replaced with a KO Raptor grill). The two things I wish I could have deleted were the spray-in liner (would rather have a Line-X) and the running boards only because I've seen nicer RBs than what I'll end up with. I may replace those in the future.

Picked up my Ranger on the 24th. Finally had time to take a couple pics of it. Love it so far, fun to drive.

She looks Beautiful! Congrats!! I can’t wait to get mine but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.

The lettering on the tailgate looks real nice, I didn’t think I was going to like it but after looking at yours I do. Are they the factory black ones Ford is selling? Good luck with it.

Perfect! thanks. I like the Matte much more than Ford’s “putco” Black platinum.

Don’t suppose you were at Scheels today (2 June)? Saw a Ranger just like this.
