Good Eyes there... Taking away the gas cap was only the beginning years ago... :^(Things I noticed from 2019 to 2021
Xlt 301a sports pkg builds
-Power folding mirrors are no longer included in the 301a pkg
-wheel well lips are plastic and not painted magnetic gray to match bumpers on sports pkg
-as OP mentioned, the headrests no long fold in the backseat and don't seem to be adjusted in the fronts.
-the e-brake button is rubber instead of chrome
Everything else seems to be about the same that I can tell so far.
I agree with this. I would rather have a loaded Ranger Lariat than a F-150, etc. I also have a RAM 1500 “LoneStar” that is moderately equipped that was deeply discounted, yet still 48k.Well I have read many of the posts here. Sometimes I wonder why people buy a ranger pickup truck. Ranger XLT cost me under $30,000 4x2. I in no way could have bought a full size vehicle with the options this Ranger has. Full size vehicle would have cost me at least 40k. With no bells or whistles base model. The Ranger does everything I need it to do and everything I will be doing with it. Like buying an inexpensive car it does not have all the bells and whistles of a full-sized vehicle that they put more money and time into. All of that being known is why I like the Ranger and has so much to offer for the price, and fits all of my needs and then some. I even have tow hooks in front so someone can pull me out of the mud when I get stuck thinking it's a 4x4. Even though my toe hooks are black not red I am worried about the functionality of them. So I bought the vehicle knowing exactly what I was getting and impressed and happy with what I bought. Ford F@$&+!* Ranger!
I just realized this week they hid the front parking aid sensors behind the technology package. Back in 2019 they were standard equipment.Good Eyes there... Taking away the gas cap was only the beginning years ago... :^(
Hi Brian,Reading many post on this site its the opposite of the way many people think. First run vehicles are becoming more attractive before cost reduction steps in. That's if I was looking at a higher optioned Ranger. I will have to keep this in mind for the G6 Ranger.
The perfect statement on this, couldn't have said it better myself.I'm sure some things are cost savings but several are related to COVID production issues; plants are still short on staff and parts. Streamlining the process or swapping in substitute parts is necessary in order to keep production going at some level. They have also stripped all the aftermarket accessories from the build page; eliminating them costs Ford money but saves production time so trucks can get to the lots. The dealers in my area are starving for Rangers - can't get them from Ford. It makes me roll my eyes at all the Bronco order folks who can't figure out why Ford is behind on production - like somehow they are unaware that all manufacturing on the planet ceased for several months last year and still isn't close to operating at full capacity. The whole reason I'm switching back to Ford comes from how they pivoted to making ventilators and PPE (still making PPE) during this. Just like they did with iron lungs during polio and making everything under the sun during WW2.
I agree also, I have the Lariat, 4x4, off-road package, and rear lock differential. Wouldnt have it any other way.I agree with this. I would rather have a loaded Ranger Lariat than a F-150, etc. I also have a RAM 1500 “LoneStar” that is moderately equipped that was deeply discounted, yet still 48k.
