2019 Ford Ranger Lariat 4x4 Hot Pepper Red Mods

[jboss302]

Good Afternoon,

First time poster, long time lurker / researcher. Bought my 2019 in February 2019 as soon as they became available. Hot Pepper Red. The mods were done one at a time as funds became available. The mods are starting to add up to a well balanced truck ready for more intense off road excursions. 1. Ford Bed Rug 2. Ford Performance Tune 3. Snug Top Xtra-Vision bed cap with Sportsman package (reinforced for HD 4x4 and supports 500 lbs on top) with Yakima rails on top, custom painted to match the truck 4. Ford Performance Tuned Fox 2.0 Leveling kit 5. KMC Trek 545 17x8 +20mm offset matt bronze and black wheels and 265/70-17 Falken WildPeak AT3W 6. ReadyLift high clearance Anti-intrusion Beams - Tires rubbed on the rear beams. 7. Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE Yellow Fog lights So Glad I installed the leveling kit and chose the matt bronze and black Trek wheels. Feels like a new vehicle. Suspension is amazing and the fog lights are fantastic, especially in the snow. Pictures of the truck with the bronze wheels to show everyone the possibilities. They may not be for everyone but I love them! Love to read everyone's comments.

Welcome Jeff. Since you asked, the wheels are not my thing but they do look nice on your set-up!

I'm looking at Falken Wildpeaks for my next tire. Do you get them out in the snow?

Have not driven in the snow yet. Streets were dry with plowed snow on the side when I tested the yellow fogs. Got my Falkens from Amazon with the best price ever and they were only 2 months old. A friend of mine received 4 year old new tires from Amazon and returned them.

Looks great, although I am biased as I got a holdover 2019 in 2020 because I wanted that color.
Just turned over 35k on mine, have AWE cat back (live it) Eibach suspension with the same size tires you have on stock rims with no rubbing, an AFE cold air intake ( to help make up for the loss of power after putting on the 32” rubber).
Still love it after almost 4 years.
Enjoy.

How did you choose AWE exhaust? I've heard some mention the Borla also and that sounds pretty good but not sure about any performance pickup if any.

I spent a bunch of time listening to sound clips and made my choice that way. It is more money than some but was easy to install myself and I have had it for 3 plus years, no drone, supposed to add 9hp.
I have attached a before and after.

Definitely looks tons better. Installed yourself? Not real equipped since the days of the '69 Camaro and Firebird self repair!

Yes, truck was only a few months old so it was pretty easy, didn’t even need to jack the truck.
Took about an hour.

Thanks. I have 35k on mine too. I have all the power I need with the Ford Performance Tune. I recently updated it and it is stronger than ever. I got tired of the 18" factory machined aluminum wheels with magnetic accents and Dynapro tires. The 18" optional wheels and tires reduce the cargo capacity of the Ranger from 1560 to 1356lbs. Now I am back to 1560 lbs.

I've also got an AWE exhaust. I had one on my 2019, and it's so far the only mod I put on my 2023. Best sound possible out of a four cylinder.

And to the OP, that is a good looking truck! My 23 is a HPR, I'm a convert to that color, and how it changes depending on the light.
