Hi! My name is Katie. I have a 21 XLT Sport 4WD. I bought it brand new, stock. I have done a few upgrades since then. Of course, you can never have too many upgrades, more too come. I'll need advice on how to spend more money though.

Welcome Katie, you came to the right place to help spend! Nice looking truck!

A few things off the bat I see you need are an AVS bug shield and Weathertech window deflectors. Both would look great on your truck.

Hey yall. My name is Nick, I just recently picked up a 2022 ranger XL, 4x4 STX with 59k miles. Had it for about two weeks now and so far so good, just ordered an EGR sensor and hoses because I’ve had what I think/hope is the bucking/surging problem the last two days.

I’m driving the truck cross country in two weeks and plan on camping out of it. I bought it with the shell on it and am in the process of building a little platform bed with some storage options, so if anyone has done this and has any tips, let me know! Here’s a pic, happy to be on the forum!

Welcome to the forum Nick. There are plenty of helpful people and information on here. Be careful in your travels, and to quote Freiburger from ROADKILL "refuse to lose and always have fun!"

Welcome Katie, you’re doing fine spending money so far - nice looking truck.

Dispatcher, huh?

Welcome Nick. Hopefully the sensor fixe the bucking/surging. I get some but haven't done it yet. Somebody should be able to help with storage options.

Jeffrey here I have a 2021 ford ranger xlt tremor 4x4 got 4 year ago brand new I love what ford has done with the Ranger can’t wait too do more custom stuff too the truck.
Good looking truck. Welcome to the forum, I'm sure find more stuff on here to add to it, in your profile picture it looks like you already have a Ranch Hand grill guard on it. You'll see everything from mild to wild on here. Enjoy 👍

Hello all, new here, thanks for letting me join. Names John and this is my 2023 Lariat.

Bought the truck last August to replace a '17 Dodge Journey so that I could buy myself a travel trailer. Settled on the Ranger as it was the best option as my commute is only 5km one way and it fits into my parkade entrance. Actually, I had to go to a stubby antenna as the original was a bit too tall and was hitting the door. Also, my dad is a Ford mechanic, so makes repairs easy and cheap, and warranty issues easy too!

Started with just running 87 Regular fuel, then changed over to 91 and it runs a lot better, feels like more power, better response. During the winter I run with between 300-500 lbs in the bed and get about 12 MPG and during the summer I get between 15-17 MPG.

Has spray in bed liner, aftermarket trailer brake controller, no auto start/stop, manually slide back window. Truck currently has 45,600 KM's on it. Bought it with 38,985 KM's, was a lease vehicle for some company, so think it was mostly highway mileage.

Really the only things I wish the truck had is the upgraded speakers, which I personally believe the Larait should of come with, and push button remote start instead of using the app.

Welcome Johnathan, if you think 91 octane helps you should look into a tune, they really wake the truck up and may help a bit with the MPGs.

Good looking truck.

Thanks! I'm still under warranty, so I don't know if I want to do a tune yet. I have thought about it because it would be nice to have a bit more power for when towing. My worst tank was 11 MPG (21.24 L/100KM) which was during the coldest part of the winter (high's of -30c) and around 400 pounds winter weight in the bed running just regular 87 and my best tank was 23.74 MPG (9.91 L/100KM). I have found a place local that does sell 91 Ethanol Free so have been buying that as I'd rather just run pure gasoline. There is only one brand of gas station that now sells the ethanol free 91 octane fuel (Co-Op).
