Hi everyone - I've been reading this forum religiously ever since I ordered my Ranger at the end of December. My truck was supposedly built last week (blend date of Friday), so I figured it was time to make an account. I've got mud flaps, letter inserts, vinyl decals, Wolf Haus Off-road power for the bed, a tailgate damper (so I don't make noise while carrying a bow, my pack, and everything else when I'm out hunting, of course), etc. My wife keeps asking me if i'm ever going to get the truck or just keep buying shit for something I don't have, but I told her she doesn't understand how this stuff works.

I bought a Ranger because I wanted a mid-size truck that can fit on some of the trails that larger trucks can't and in my opinion it's the best one for what i'll be doing. I'm also pretty sure that if I pull a deer out of the back of my Ford Edge one more time the meat processor is going to kill me with strange looks. I've always wanted a truck and this will be my first. I've let the wife get the last couple of upgrades because she deserved it and then we wanted a nice and safe minivan for the kids. Now it's my turn for a purpose-built vehicle.

My long-term vision is to turn the truck into a hunting/camping vehicle that I can travel cross-country with for DIY Public land hunts. I appreciate all of the information shared on this site and I look forward to sharing my journey with all of you. Truck should be here by mid-April!

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the world of truck ownership. I found after my 1st truck when was a nube at Ford was so handy I have always had a truck in the garage since 1975. Your Ranger has a great heritage of being Ford Tough and I hope your vehicle will offer you the vision you have for usage!

Best,
Phil

Beautiful truck. Enjoy!

Hey Alex, great looking Ranger - those tires!!!!

Looks like you got it just in time for that dump of snow in Long Beach. ?

 

[AzScorpion]

Welcome Alex! Beautiful Ranger and little one you have there. If there ever was a case for getting a damper this is it. It's for the children! ?

Got rid of 2014 Fusion for 2022 Ranger Lariat Splash Edition.

Welcome. Is that the forest green limited edition splash color? If so, any pictures in the sunlight? TIA, TomC

After driving, hunting, camping, and using you truck for other truck stuff, you’ll never look back. Enjoy your first truck!

I just did a deal on a 2022 Ford Ranger XLT Tremor in shadow black. Should be in soon, like next week! Trading in a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that is as new. The Jeep is a wonderful vehicle as well, just way much more that I need. Plus, it is worth a lot right now, so I am getting $$$ back! Anyway, I am in Tennessee and retired (for now anyway) and 67 years old. Have always had Fords and will be happy to get back in one! Thanks for letting me join in with y'all

Hi Avensis,

Welcome... I might advise to start out by reading the owner's manual...it will be helpful in many aspects and confusing in some others.....We should be able to help with the areas of confusion.

best,
Phil

Hi everyone.
New member to the forum.
Don't have a Ranger at this time.
Tried ordering last Friday but was told "Ford isn't accepting 2022 orders for Tremor trim".
I find that rather suspect.
Need to do research into this matter.
Although at this date I'm probably better off waiting to get new current style 2023.
Don't have interest for the G6 and don't intend to wait for it to arrive.

The information that is provided by the members on this forum is extremely helpful.
I thank all of you that have contributed.
