"Ok to buy" is a point in the manufacturing process where they consistently build Rangers without problems. Only then will they start building/releasing for sale retail orders.
It’s pretty much waterproof, the tailgate gaps that exist on the Ranger causes water to enter the bed, the Diamondback is not at fault.
If you get it sprayed with bedliner, it shouldn't fade for long time. Also the customer support is fantastic, the "lifetime warranty" means it will get fixed...
If you can track the VIN on the Ford order tracking site, then it's a retail order. Those won't even begin production until OKTB has been achieved, hopefully sometime in January.
Dropped my truck off in the morning and it was ready by the evening. I’m glad it passed the inspection but I was secretly hoping for the opportunity to drive a rental Mustang or F150 until January.
