After waiting a full 10 months (Mar 21 to Jan 22) from the time of order until hands on delivery, I have been loving my 4X4 Lariat Ranger since day one. I finally hit 10K miles which sent me back to the dealership for servicing and a check-up. Not a thing was found wrong or needing repair. I...
I protected my Ranger by doing absolutely nothing with it today. I needed to get some hog wire fence which comes in 16 ft X 4 ft panels. Instead of taking the 21 Ranger to the fencing and risk damaging the new truck, I took the old Ranger (99 w/ <100K mi) instead. A scratch or small dent...
In late March 2021 I called my local dealer to order a 2021 Ranger SCREW 4x4 Lariat in cyber orange. Official order was placed the first week of April. Original delivery was supposed to take place in late July. That got bumped to September then November. When it didn't arrive in November I...
My day was very benign but essential none the less. I drove to a doctor's appointment and filled the gas tank for the second time since I took the Ranger home on Jan 15. As of today, there are 583 miles showing on the odometer.
Nothing but the initial picture so far. I took it back to the dealer on Monday so they could remove the 4X4 decals off the rear fenders. I installed the tailgate damper today and it works like a champ. I have splash guards on order along with window vent deflectors.
I've only put about 15...
Sticker was $45,740 and after X-Plan and private incentives my cost was right about $42,200. And the X-Plan saved me on dealer's fees because it caps the amount that can be charged at $199 I think. Additionally, I got a zero percent Ford Motor Credit Loan.
Yes, more state highway dept yellow than I expected. I ordered the truck sight unseen and selected the cyber orange based off of the online pictures of it. We have a Canyon Ridge Orange Ford Escape so I was hoping the Ranger would be a shade or two off from the Escape. Well, it is 5 or 6...
Thanks, I told my wife that I have to start buying parts for it and she looked at me with evil in her eyes. I ordered the damper just a few minutes ago with delivery to be next week. :)
Excited for sure while at the same time I am mad at myself for locking into a car payment. I haven't had to make a car payment since 2008. Lucky for me, these payments will be over in about 18 months or less. When I ordered, I put out down payment of about a quart and will be carrying in a check...
Ford tracker still showing the Ranger is awaiting shipping however, the salesman sent me text a few minutes ago to let me know I am back in the making car payments business. Ranger rolled off the truck during the 3pm hour.
I'll go pick it up tomorrow afternoon just in time for snow moving in...
Just to give perspective, I was told 8 to 12 weeks when I ordered in April 2021. Today, I am still waiting for a 21 Ranger Crew cab Lariat with black appearance package.
Don't believe any timelines they give you.
Yet another update. The MIA Ranger has been found. The delay was caused by a "Powertrain" shortage which has been corrected. According to Ford, the truck has now been marked as "HOT" with the carrier and Ford says it is now expected to be delivered 1/14 to 1/20.
