I agree 100% with your statement above. Retired from the Air Force then went into the car business at the dealer level. Worked with a dealer group that sold all the major brands. Used to order the inventory myself for the Ford store. I'm not at the dealer level anymore but work will every...
My dealer told me that the reps they deal with don't have the access that they have had in the past with orders and statuses. Seems to be more centrally managed now. Frustrating for the dealers as well.
I like the looks and everything about it. Like the posters above stated, it's all based on personal preference. I haven't seen too many positive comments from you on the Ranger and am trying to understand why you post on this forum since you appear to be a Jeep fan.
@rangerdanger - Not delivered yet, but you can update my Lariat SuperCrew 4X4 Hot Pepper Red one in the members ordered list to a Lightning Blue one. VIN# 1FTER4FH0KLA07709. Built 1/29/2019. ETA to dealer 2/18-2/24 currently. So hopefully any day now. It is definitely in-transit. Hoping to...
My local dealer closed the deal yesterday to get me the Lightning Blue Ranger due any day now at a dealer about 50 miles away in Florida. So I'm not getting the Hot Pepper Red one still getting delayed in the order bank. Only difference between the ordered red one and the blue is the interior...
The Gator covers are a private label of the Bakflip covers. That's what I was told this morning when I ordered my Bakflip MX4 for my Ranger. I had a Gator hard folding tonneau on my F-150 I just sold. Went with the MX4 for the new water seal at the rear that allows you to open/close the...
I am going to add the Ford Touchlink Bed Lighting to my Ranger when I pick it up. Don't care if I have to wait a little bit for it to come in. Will have it as on the Sales Order with the dealer and have them install it. It is supposed to work with the keyfob and regular lighting.
I just listed it on Facebook (Marketplace) since it was free. Got about 12 inquiries Saturday afternoon and evening. A few more Sunday morning. Then my phone rang while I was out in the Gulf in the kayak and the guy had cash in hand and what I would take for it. I did put a lot of pictures...
Replacing my 2004 F-150 SuperCrew Lariat 4X4. Been an awesome truck for 15.5 years, but it's time to upgrade to newer technology and better fuel economy. Will still be hauling a kayak in the back with a bed extender in the Ranger. This picture was from yesterday's trip to the Gulf. Sold the...
I'm now truckless. Sold my 2004 F-150 Supercrew Lariat 4X4 yesterday to a nice family from Moultrie, GA. Put it on Facebook Saturday and had it sold 24 hours later. Met them after kayak fishing in the Gulf yesterday. Last trip hauling the kayak in the back...lol! Should know today whether...
Heard from my dealer late today. Now the rep is saying my order might slide to late March or early April. Found a Lightning Blue Ranger in transit to another dealer 50 miles away. Configured like my Hot Pepper Red one and has the factory spray in bedliner. My dealer is going to work on...
This is what my dealer sent me. I redacted the dealer name/dealer code. it clearly shows the build week. My dealer isn't happy that a VIN# has not been provided yet as well. Yes...it was ordered as a stock unit and the very first order submitted by the dealer. The goal was that the first...
The general manager of my store that I am dealing with is about as furious as I am for the lack of feedback on the status of my Ranger. It showed a build date of 3/11/2019 after we removed the keypad. Still no VIN#, Simply amazing! I have zero confidence my truck is going to be built at this...
I agree 100%. Fuel economy definitely depends on driving conditions and the way you drive the vehicle. I get way better fuel economy with my F-150 on the back roads going to the Gulf each weekend where the speed limit is 55mph versus the interstate where everyone is going 70-75mph.
I tried that chat function mentioned above. It was worthless. Gave the rep my dealer# and the Order#. She couldn't tell me anything. I emailed the General Manager at my dealership (who I have been working with for over a year now) after that. He is going to check on the status today for me...
I am guessing that none of us will find a good reliable pattern to gauge why each of our particular Rangers have varying lengths from order, to build and finally delivery. From what I have observed here and on the Blue Oval forums, it seems there have been a lot of issues related to certain...
