My GoRhino black chrome tip has been on 7 months and still looks great. Any discoloration there is just dirt/dust. Wipes right off.

Nice! I like the finished look. Without the raw exhaust tip hanging, looking incomplete, it's much better.

We just bought the same truck 2 weeks ago. We have to drive 4 hours to get it.
Love the truck and the color so far.

Yes, don't be afraid to look outside of your immediate area for what you really want. I made a 1,000 mile round trip to get the car, color, options and price I wanted. Local dealer happily services it. 2020 Chrysler 300s 5.7L Alloy Edition. :)

5.7L 345 CID, hemi heads and 16 spark plugs. X-Pipe factory exhaust with another crossover at the rear of the mufflers to control 'droning' when in 4 cyl mode (MDS function). Continuously variable intake runners and variable valve timing.

300/Charger were heavily based on the Mercedes E Class of the 1990s - 2000s. 2023 is supposed to be the last year before an all new car (probably a hybrid) replaces it. :(

Didn't see many forged green metallic Rangers around, just picked up this 22' XLT FX4 for a great deal. Lot's of great posts on this forum to read, looking forward to start spending money on stuff I don't need.

Don't even think of driving it until you get a tailgate damper!

Some of you guys seem to really struggle with this aluminum mid size tailgate, how do you guys open the doors? lol
I always feel bad for the trucks my friends own. Their tailgate always gets slam-dropped open by me, cuz I'm so used to the dd (damn-damper) on mine.

Welcome! Some times you just gotta tear the bandaid (exhaust) off!

☝do it.

Also sounds like you got a pretty good deal getting that far below MSRP right now. Congrats!

Just got my new Ranger as well: XLT Forged Green FX4, Equip Group 302A, and Technology Package. So far so good; going to be taking to the Linex place soon for the bed and a tonneau cover.

And it arrived right before my birthday!

Not my first Ford, but my first pickup truck. I had a Focus, then an Escape, then a Wrangler, and most recently a Cherokee.

Like when I had my Wrangler, I'm already daydreaming about mods. First are likely to be Linex the bed, Tonneau Cover, and probably a 2" leveling kit.
