My name is Matt and I'm from Texas. I've been looking for a midsize truck for years and have always wanted a Tacoma, or so I thought. I've been patiently and not so patiently waiting for kids to get out of college and kids to get married to be able to get the truck that I wanted. I have looked and lusted for Tacomas for years but knew the Ranger had come out last year and decided to give it a test drive. No comparison when I drove them side by side. The Tacoma had less room, the ride was bumpier like I was driving an off road vehicle on the road, and the seats were so much less comfortable. Had my wife go on a side by side test drive and those were her opinions too. I started looking at Rangers and contacting dealerships all over the state. Was strongly considering a Lariat as my wife really encouraged getting leather and heated seats, but I didn't know if I wanted to spend the extra $. I contacted one in Dallas about an XLT they had listed but no pics. They sent me some pics and I knew it was the one I had been looking for. It had a little over 6k on it and the owner had the dealership put in leather, heated seats when he originally bought it. It had the bed liner already sprayed in and had Westin side bars and a Retrax tonneau cover installed. I put down a deposit before ever going to see it. To say the least, I am thrilled to have the truck that I have been dreaming about for years and I feel very fortunate to have it.

Welcome! Good choice in forgoing the Tacoma for the Ranger. I had a '16 Tacoma and couldn't wait to get rid of it! It was like buying a boat the two best days were the day I bought it and the day I sold it. lol The Ranger drivetrain is so much smoother and makes power where you need it. Being on here just be prepared to spend a ton of money on mods you never knew you needed. ?

Looking to mod my new daily driver.

Added Ford performance fox 2.0, raptor wheels, Ko2 tires, Ford performance exhaust and raptor grill.


on the way bora 1.25 spacers, K&N cai just released a few weeks ago went with that over roush, pedal commander.

Next on list downpipe, intercooler with charge pipes waiting on mishimoto dyno results before I preorder, turbo smart valve, BBK 2.3 throttle body waiting on confirmation if it’ll fit ranger. After that will dyno then adding livernois tuning found out they wrote the Ford performance tune.

Have a machine fabrication shop custom make me a roll bar. Will post when done. Gonna resemble the roush chase rack w/grab handles and mounts for light also will be compatible with bed cover.

Hey guys glad to be here! I'm Mike, just picked up a 2020 STX FX4 Supercab the other day. Loving it so far! I may or may not have spec'd this truck out like Marty's 4x4 from BTTF.
