Hello everyone. I have been reading and learning about the Ranger since I decided to purchase one. I'm a Ford retiree downsizing from an '06 F150 Lariat. Just ordered a '22 Ranger Lariat 4x4. Thanks to for all the information posted on the forums.
Welcome Gooby - I guess we don’t need to tell you about Ford Tough - enjoy this fun truck!

2022 Ford Ranger
Hi all,

New here, been lurking for the last couple months. I had a 22 SCREW Lariat on order since early October and it finally has arrived. We've been Ford people since the beginning. I looked the truck over really well before taking delivery. Nominal overhang on the hood, good door alignment although I have a wind noise on the passenger front. We also have a 2020 Escape and my old 66 Mustang. I've been driving F150's for quite a few years and this is my first Ranger since 1988. Loving the size. It's only been a couple days since I got it so I'm sure I will have more for you all.

Took delivery yesterday of my ‘22 Ranger XLT with the 302A package, spray in liner, hard trifold cover, block heater, and hitch receiver. It was dealer ordered and I was lucky to grab it a couple of weeks ago while it was still in the pipeline. Planning to add drop step nerf bars.

just signed up. my raptor is over 8 years old and i am thinking it might be time for a new ride. i love my raptor (who wouldnt) but given changes in circumstances in my life (i just recently semi-retired) i cant really justify purchasing another one. i would want a v8 anyways, and the raptor R is probably gonna be north of 90k by the time its all said and done. so im thinking about ordering another ranger (i have owned 2 from the last gen and really liked the trucks). just getting the process started, so i will be lurking around here with alot of questions in the coming weeks. or maybe you can convince me to keep the beast!

Hi everyone, I’m new here and waiting for my 2022 Carbonized Gray Lariat Tremor. I didn’t order it directly from Ford, but my local dealer had a few Rangers in transit and I put down some money on the Lariat Tremor. The ETA keeps changing and I’m not sure when it will show up, so here I sit waiting and reading the forums!

I had an 05 F150 as my daily driver and an 06 Wrangler Rubicon as my off road toy. I can’t believe what I just sold those for - used car prices are insane. Thankfully, my dealer isn’t marking up the Ranger over MSRP and I’m happy to have a nice size down payment for it.

So I’m stuck with my kids’ 07 Escape until the Ranger gets here or the occasional use of my husband’s 21 Hybrid F150. ?

Been lurking here and for a few weeks to gain knowledge in whether or not to purchase a Ranger. There is SOOOOOOOOO much info here, it's crazy...in a good way. I mean, I bet there's someone that started a feed on how they can install their new expresso machine :giggle:

I've already ordered the above a few weeks ago, and received my confirm email. I also have finally come out of the woodwork to introduce myself on other threads without realizing...."hey, there's a thread to introduce yourself" :facepalm:

So.....here it goes.....
Hello everyone, my name is Alex, and I'm a Ranger-holic! My wallet is hidden for now until I actually get confirmation it is ACTUALLY being shipped. Until then I will live vicariously through you guys. Last Ford I owned was a '91 ESCORT GT :rockon:

After owning a few Fords and GM's back then, and having nothing but problems with them, I mainly owned Japanese manufactured vehicles for the last 20 years. I had very little issue with any of them. Not trying to bash, just my experience.

So after owning all these vehicles, I finally wanted a nice sturdy truck. But the F-150's seemed too big for what I needed, and the "mid-size" now, is what a "full size" used to be back in the day. Was seriously looking at the new Frontier, but decided to go back and try Ford out. I don't need all the bells and whistles like our previous vehicles had. Just a good 'ol pickem up truck! I'm no mechanic, but an excellent parts changer ? and seeing the things people are doing here, makes me feel confident I can tackle some of these projects on my own...hopefully?

Welcome Alex! Smart move by not buying anything until it's at least built. I almost ordered a bunch of stuff for my Bronco and so glad I didn't now. Once my Jeep was confirmed built I had the UPS/FedEx guys daily dropping stuff off. lol

Soon enough you'll say goodby to your savings account. ?

Congrats! Can you tell us just exactly what the 302a has as far as mirrors and seats? A lot of speculation out there on what the 2022 302a’s are actually being built with. Thanks
