My wife and I recently picked up a brand new 2019 Ford Ranger. We had intended to purchase a 2021 Tacoma, but after driving a local dealers 2020 Ranger, we changed our mind. Seeing how this was going to be my wife's truck, I told her she could pick the colors, but I get to pick the packages.
She chose the Saber color and I knew I wanted an XLT FX4 Super Crew with the 301A package. Neither of us wanted leather or power seats, so this choice was perfect.
So the hunt for her truck began. I called every dealer in Arizona and no one had a Saber Ranger in stock. So I broadened my search and found a few Saber Rangers in Colorado, none in Utah and a couple in New Mexico. But only a small dealer in a small town in New Mexico had a Saber XLT FX4 Super Crew with the 301A package. The problem, it was a 2019! But, it had less than 50 miles on it and it had a full factory warranty. And on top of that, it had a rolling tonneau cover.
We called up the dealership and started the haggling process. We ended up with a killer deal on it and so my wife and youngest daughter set out on a five hour drive to go look at our new Ranger.
Now this is not the first Ranger in our family. My wife has owned a 1985 and a 1998 2wd regular cab Rangers. And I have owned a 1998 4x4 Off-Road extra cab with the step side bed.
The day we picked it up.

We are just getting started on the build, which for now will be mild. But here is a list of what we have done so far, and what we have planned for the future.
