Hello everyone. I picked up my new 2019 Lariat Ranger Supercrew yesterday.
Ingot Silver with medium stone interior (the pictures of the medium stone interior don’t do the color justice. It’s more gray and looks a lot better than most photos I’ve seen online).
B&O sound system sounds great.
Ford hard top retractable tonneau cover.
I was concerned it wouldn’t be big enough for one forward facing and one rear facing car seat but it’s working out great.

Hello All,

I'm from the east side of the US and recently bought a '19 Ranger Lariat Supercab 4X4. This is my fourth Ford truck. I owned a '97 Ranger XLT 4X2, '05 Ranger XLT 4X2, and traded in a loaded '16 F150 XL FX4 for my current Ranger (Hope I made a good decision). I'm sure to have many questions over time and appreciate any help. Hell, I'll start with one now. I'm sure my new Ranger has remote start capability because I successfully used Fordpass to start it, but both of my key fobs I received from the dealer do NOT have the 2X button. The manual clearly depicts remote start capability using the key fob. Did the dealer not give me the correct key fobs? Should one of the two have the 2X button, or is Fordpass the only way to remote start the Lariat trim? Thanks ahead of time.

Welcome! Your fob should look like mine below if you have the Lariat. To remote start from the fob you hit the lock button once,then the 2x button twice.

Is Remote Start (from the fob) standard on the Lariat though? I'm sure plenty of people have it, but is it standard or an option with a certain package?

Good catch! I forgot to add you have to have the 501A equipment group.

 

[Pyungshin]

Thanks guys, that's it! I have the 500A package. Remote starting is only available via Fordpass with the 500A package. I don't want to extend Fordpass past the 2-year "free" period, so I'll look into what modification is required to remote start without Fordpass. When the time comes. I'll do my remote starting (winter) using Fordpass for the time being. I appreciate the help.

The FordPass app is free for life now so you won't have to do anything.

Hello all, Don from Michigan just joining. I picked up my 19 Ranger in the beginning of December, pic attached. I decided on an XLT after the $6100 rebate was active. I wanted the rear sliding window so I was looking for the 302A package, had to have the FX4 package and not a 4 door. So I dared my local dealer to find me one just like this. That's where the nightmare begins. I had to give them a $500 deposit for them to even bother doing a search. After finding one, they promised to have it the next day, which they did well after the dealer closed. It was comical, they wanted me to sign all the paperwork with no vehicle. So the next day I came back and looked at the truck, and it had a giant crack across the windshield. The dealer insisted I sign the paperwork or they were saying the rebate would expire and I would lose it because it was end of month. My reply was that the only thing that would be lost was your sale. 4 days later they located a Ford replacement windshield changed it out and called me back. I still got my rebate. Since owning it I am smitten with it, love it way more than my F-150. I kept my Fusion hybrid to keep miles off during my long drive to work. So far I put in LED amber fog lights. I have the sill plates to install when it warms up. Looking forward to hitting some Michigan off-road trails.

Hello everyone,
New member and coming from the F150 crowd. I decided to try the smaller truck and see how I like it. So far I can tell it is smaller and kind of miss the F150 but my reasons for trying the Ranger were better turning radius and easier parking which can be a real PITA in truck unfriendly cites in the PDX region.

I bought right before Christmas. $42,400 MSRP and got the Ford $6100 + $500 PCO + $6300 dealer discount.

Hello people!

Introducing myself as a new member from the PNW (Vancouver Canada). I just picked up my '19 XL STX FX4 about a week ago and am loving it so far. I come from the Subaru/VW world and this is my first ever truck. Very much looking forward to lurking here and seeing what you all do with your trucks and probably poaching some ideas for my own!

I have yet to see another Ranger optioned like this, so if you own an XL STX FX4, say hey!
