Retired, I know the feeling. I worked for a small family owned business and four years ago I told them I wanted to retire (crickets), three years ago I said I was retiring in a year (more crickets), two years ago I went to the owners home and told them I was retiring on my birthday (louder...
The price seems reasonable for a dealer install. Shop rate will dictate the cost. I had the Ford Racing tune, CAI and low restriction air cleaner plus the cooler spark plugs installed at Hillbank Motors, Irvine. They are the Shelby, Superformance dealer (Ford GT, Cobra etc.). Dropped it off...
Unfortunately I cannot comment on the main instrument cluster on an XL trim level as I've never seen one..

In late 2013 I purchased my younger brother's 1999 4 x 4 Ranger XLT with tow package. He put 248,000 miles on it in 14 years. He towed an Interstate Cargo Load Runner. 12 foot toy hauler with dual axels. He had the trailer filled with plumbing tools and household stuff...
Used car prices are CRAZY.
I traded a 2013 Focus ST, that cost me $28K new, on my new 2021 Ranger XLT.
I got $20,000 for the Focus. There are a few extenuating circumstances ... the Focus only had 28,000 miles on the clock and it's always been garaged, so it looked real sharp. It was also the...

One is a 1999 4.0L with 270,000 miles. Everything works CD, cassette, AM/FM, AC, power windows.
The other is a 2021 with 4,000 miles.

I purchased the rotary switch with the TM button. Cost was about $90.
I used FORScan to enable the off-road and terrain management gauges.
Last Sunday I took the truck to the San Gabriel OHV area to test it out.
The results...
Thanks. As a recent identity theft victim a "heads up" is always welcome.
Good news on the ID theft. the account was removed from my credit report and the $20,000 in purchases are not my responsibility.
