I currently have an XTL ranger 2021 with a Tremor package. I also looked at a Lariat, and my understanding is all lariats have a speaker in the middle of the dash. Had anyone out there added that speaker to a non Lariat? Is there anywhere one could be purchased?

Only crew cabs with B&O have the dash speaker.

Have you installed one on your truck, lately?
If not I’ve done it to both of mine, makes a big difference…..

Check Crutchfield site for 3.5 speakers that will fit. I ran speaker wire on the XLT to front passenger kick panel and tied into door speaker. Order speaker grill for 8 speaker system to replace solid dash piece….

Sounds 40 % better to my ears, replacing door speakers really helped. Grill is $24.00 plus shipping $8.00 from Ford parts…

How is it fastened? How do you get it out? Does the new one come with required fasteners?

What Crutchfield speaker did you use?

wired in parallel to door speakers I assume?

And there are 2 - 3.5" speakers under the grille?

Just used their site for fitment, bought speakers through Amazon. On daughters used infinity ref-3022cfx on mine used pioneer ts-a878…. Infinity’s sound better in all freq ranges.

If you go with the infinity you will need speaker wire, they ship with only 6 in for speaker connectors…
