Ordered my Lariat Tremor November 8...and all I have so far is a VIN. Since I am in Canada, I can't track it. I have bought several small goodies to go on right away. Yes I got a dampner...as my name says...I'm old. Worked at Ford for 38+ years. My plans are:
ARE CX Revo cap, painted Magnetic to stand out a little bit.
MagnaFlow cat back in black.
Full Mishimoto, air box, pipes, catch can
Krown undercoating, as I plan on keeping this, and I live near Windsor, home of Windsor Salt!!!
No tune, as I can't justify the premium gas.
When the tires wear out, Fabtech bars, Air Design flares, and 285's

Due to get my Cactus Gray next week, XLT, Crew, Splash/w graphics, FX4, 301A, tow, boards, spray bedliner. My first choice would be a cyber orange splash, but the more I see the Cactys gray around, I like it. Trunk is in transit from Michigan to my dealer, long wait!

Posted just yesterday in the "Introductions" forum, but I guess I belong here too?!?! Just a week old now.

2022 Ranger LARIAT (501A group) / Tremor

A few things already done, a few happening in the coming week, including "auto engine off" bypass wiring harness / chip, steps removed from running rails, "easy down" tailgate piston*, Diode Dynamics 6" (pair) light bar (lower grill / below - either side of front license plate), OEM engine "cover", LoMax Tonneau cover, window tint, Dynamat in all doors, etc. (WOW the doors sound like a "Lite Beer in a can" :confused: ). Debating spray in (have had Rhino Liner in the past) Rhino vs. Line-X vs. WeatherTech "mat".

*I think there is some running joke about this, but frankly I think it's a great / inexpensive "that serves its purpose when you've got your hands full and need to get the tailgate open?

I have the same truck on order. Waiting for the build scheduled email. Seeing your truck keeps the excitement stoked.

2019 Ranger XLT
Picked up this XLT yesterday. Coming out of a 2018 Dodge Charger R/T and while Iā€™ll miss that car, I do really like this one. The Cactus and the black appearance package really makes this thing look sexy.

Originally wanted a Tacoma but went and looked at the Ranger on a whim and couldnā€™t look at the Tacoma with any enthusiasm after that. Only complaint so far, which is well documented is the body roll. I didnā€™t notice it test driving it but got my first taste backing into my driveway and it rocked back and forth quite a bit. Itā€™s my first truck, so that may be just a truck thing and Iā€™m also coming out of the Charger and its low to the ground and very heavy. In any case, it isnā€™t something that makes me regret my choice.

Not a truck thing it's the crappy shocks they put on from the factory. I put Bilstein's on mine and it immediately took a lot of that roll and dive away

Nice color match. Have to ask what you carry in it/job? Or pic of side door open and of the rear? Thanks

I love my Cactus grey Lariat Tremor, but wonder if it is a trendy color that people will burn out on. Every manufacturer has a version- lots of similar colors out there!
