I just got one in the mail today and still no truck. It's no big deal if it doesn't fit, it cost almost nothing.
Please describe how you got it to fit and if it's worth it.Well I got it to fit not bad for 1$ lol
I know that I really wanted that to be a ring but I am sure that it is a reflection. I spoke with the operations matter and he spoke to someone high up in Dord and they said that it was intentionally made without a ring or something to center the egnition. The notches that we see are for there tool to remove the ignition.
As someone who used to work within Ford's product design, I can tell with good certainty that a finish bezel was meant to be there due to (1), there are 3 visible locking tabs for a trim piece of some type and (2), the flat mating surface was left ungrained on A surface (surface visible to eye). No car company would ever leave any interior A surfaces ungrained unless it is to be covered, painted or plated, but never raw. Cost cutting or oversight? Regardless, this is very poor presentation for critical touch points on a "new" vehicle. Maybe they're too busy working on the next gen Ranger which is due out sometime in late 20-21.Hello everyone, just purchased new ranger crew xlt 4wd sport package. On the ignition switch there seems to be missing a piece of trim around the key hole? Noticed it after having truck 3 days, called dealer, said bring it in so I did. They told me that that’s the way it’s supposed to be. They only had 2 more rangers on lot and they were lariats with push button start. Can anyone with xlt tell me if their truck is like this also? Go a try loading some pics. Thanks
As someone who works on Fords competition, you sir are spot on. I've removed hundreds of those bezels and seen the exact 3 snap in points. Even my 19 y/o truck has a glow ring around the key cylinder.
If its omitted on XL and XLT, but not the Lariat - There HAS to be a FORD part number for this. Looking now. I mean push button start is on ALL or is it an option?
Push button start is on the dash, not the steering column. It seems like this was a bit oversight for it to be missing, especially since the key cylinder is really loose without it. Seems like those aftermarket options are the best "fix" for it.
So the F150 ring should fit if the key switch is the same?
add ejector seat, and this is an awesome idea.My evil mind just thought of a idea. Make a flip off cover for the key hole that disguises it. Then put a start button on the dash as in lariat models. When the thieves push the start button red pepper spray comes out and kills the perp,
