Hi Guys,

I got a 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4 with chrome package and some killer deals on Monday night. I am near Seattle so with the COVID-19 issues the dealership was empty. I got my wife a killer deal on a 2020 escape over the weekend so I decided to bite the bullet and pick up a ranger. It is pretty much fully loaded with as few dealer added options as possible. I am looking forward to doing some trail riding.

Thanks!

We did almost the same thing! Just in the opposite order and a bit longer apart. haha I got my Ranger back in May of last year. But we just went out and bought my wife a new 2020 Escape Hybrid last night! She's been looking at one for a few months, and with all the deals and rebates and the low interest rates happening right now, this was a great time to buy if you can afford to do so. We're lucky that we're both considered "essential services" so have no worries about losing any pay because of this. So might as well take advantage.

Enjoy!

Thanks, good to be here! I like your truck too. I haven't seen many of the blue around.

Thanks. I've seen a couple in the Puyallup/Tacoma area since I bought mine last August. But it's been a while.

Dave. from Lakeland Florida. 2019 XLT FX4 302A. Bought it new in Feb, $8900 under sticker. I had been looking at the new Ranger for a few months, when I came across a few leftover 19's with a steep clearance discount. At that price, I had to go for it...

I have the Iconic Silver and really like it. The color doesn't show dirt like many of the others.

Hello all,

I bought my '19 Ranger Lariat used on a black Friday sale. Got a great deal buying is used. Did the window, then blacked out the emblems, removed the stickers, flush mount bug shield, and leveled it. Finally got to a point where I could get new 20x9 XD818 wheels and tires, new RC steps, and a low profile hard cover. I will most likely add painted wheel flares to add to the stance and protect the paint.

Hi Ray,

2003 Ranger was my last baby before I retired....I had wrapped up the TPMS for the 2004 and pulled the plug on a 30 year career after the Firestone debachel.

Hello everyone. My name is John. I just purchased a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT FX2. Really love it. I put on a set of Ford mud flaps and Ford bug shield. It looks great. Was hard to trade in my Toyota Tacoma, but always wanted a Ranger. Thanks for accepting me on the site.

After months of researching / waiting I finally bought one. Used 2019 XLT with 2600 miles.

Picking up my 19 Ranger Lariat FX4 tomorrow. Got a killer deal on last years model I couldn’t pass up. Been a Toyota guy for my adult life but much like some of you all, terrible experience with the new engine/tranny on them. Glad to be here and looking forward to learning as much as I can.

Hello R5G! My name is Bryan, from Draper, Utah…. I’ve been lurking AND learning here for a while as I considered buying the Ranger V. Tacoma. I must thank all of you for your solid information, objective opinions and insight on all things Ranger 5G. I have never joined a forum as they can sometimes be kinda intimidating, judgmental and frankly, pretty negative…. but R5G has been much, much different. Glad to be here and hopefully I can pay it forward!

I will try to go back through the various topics and post more details/pictures about what I’ve done (mods) in an effort to be helpful to anyone interested. I’m not really a “wrench-guy”, but with all the valuable resources on this forum, I have my Ranger exactly as I want it and absolutely enjoy every minute driving it!

Cheers!

Nice truck man! This photo is right down the street from my house I believe

we just bought a 2019 XLT. Our first 4x4. Will be my daily driver. Wife has her Murano (she loves it) and I have a 2016 Mustang GT, which comes out on nice days. Looking forward to seeing everyone's Rangers!

After a bunch of research, I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2019 Ranger Lariat FX4, with the tow package and sport appearance package. I'm completely in love with this truck!

I've already ordered a damper for the tailgate, full set of high quality floor mats, and mud flaps. Have an appointment for a spray in bedliner next week, and been looking at which tonneau cover will be the best match.

Would love suggestions for a swing-out toolbox for the bed as well, if anyone would like to chime in.

Hello all. I purchased my 2019 Ford Ranger in July of 2019. I found this group looking for ideas on upgrades. With being off the last couple of days, I have read through a lot of the threads.
I haven't done a lot to my Ranger since I got it. It was a Lariet model, but I think I got cheated, or it was bare-bones Lariet. The first thing I did was tint the windows, needed in the Oklahoma summers. It didn't have running boards, so I found an OEM set on eBay for almost $100 less than retail. I also found an OEM tonneau cover for half price on a local buy, sell, trade site. The last thing I have is an AVS Aeroskin Lightshield Hood Protector. I would like to do some more work to it but may have to wait due to the current economic situation.
