Hello All,

Billy here, from Australia. I'm currently awaiting delivery of my Arctic White 2020.75 Ranger Raptor, I should have it next week. The excitement levels are off the scale (obviously), and can't wait to share with you guys and gals here the 'forbidden fruit'.

We also have a 2013 XLT 3.2 (turbo diesel, 6R80 auto transmission) 4x4 supercab, in metro grey (I think, can't recall exactly and they don't do the colour anymore). It has around 140,000km on the clock and has been a dependable and comfortable cruiser, plus it is my father's daily driver.

Found this place through link at Bronco6g forums. Trying to decide on whether itā€™s a new Bronco or another pickup to replace my 210k Fronty.
Welcome! Peruse the forum and feel free to ask questions. There's plenty of info and knowledgeable people on here. Including some threads regarding Bronco vs. Ranger.

My personal thoughts on Bronco vs. Ranger:
The Bronco is great and will likely be a good all-around SUV. But as much as I want one, I just won't be able to give up the utility of having a bed. So in the end I think that's really the big difference. Whether you want/need the bed space.

Good luck with your decision!

Hi everyone! I picked up a new Ranger Lariat FX4 a few weeks ago. It was somewhat of a need-driven purchase since I couldnā€™t fit much of anything in the trunk of my Q50 Red Sport.

So far, Iā€™m really liking it. I do miss the acceleration and power of the Infiniti, but not as much as I thought I would. The usable cargo space/bed and fact that I donā€™t need, or can ever reasonably use, 400+whp sealed the deal.

I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m missing out on any tech or ā€˜luxuryā€™ features I had either. The Lariat pretty much is on par there and what I wanted in a truck.

Iā€™ve had it tinted, added weatherbeater mats and mud flaps, and a cheap black exhaust tip to round out the black appearance package. Burgertuning JB4 is on order as well (had one on the Q50 and loved it). Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll find more stuff to add soon...

Glad to see there is an active, knowledgeable Ranger forum out there!

Hello,

Iā€™m James. I just picked up a 2020 XLT Sport 4x4. Its Rocket Red and Super Crew. So far I am loving this truck , almost through the break in, then I can really have some fun. No Mods yet, but early next year I will start doing a little work to it. I have already done alot of reading on the site and it has proven to be both a helpful and professional forum, lots if good data.

Hereā€™ s a pic of my new girl!

Welcome James, nice looking Ranger! :like:

Just a little hint...There's no way you'll be waiting until next year for mods if you spend any time on here. Just dive right in because it's inevitable so you might as well enjoy them sooner than later.?

Very true, I have been contemplating upgrading my sound system because the oem is a little lackluster.
