New Members Introduce Yourself!

[DangerRanger21]

Good morning folks. Name is Alf and I’m from Manitoba Canada. Downsized from a 14 F-150 to this 21 Ranger on Friday. I’ll admit I was quite impressed with the new generation of the Ranger vs the last time I was in one in the 90’s.

Welcome Alf! I too had come from years of driving F 150's and this Ranger is very impressive for a mid size. I think the hardest adjustment was the loss of the interior space but besides that the rest sure makes up for it as this little 4 cyl packs a punch especially when tuned.

I’m probably going to stay away from tuners for now lol. At most at the moment I’ll level lift it and put some bigger tires on. But I’ll determine that in the fall once hunting season starts lol. For now though I’ll leave it alone

Not if you're on this forum you won't. lol I said the same thing and there's even a post back in 2019 where I said I'd never tune mine. Sure enough....it's tuned now. Anyways enjoy you're new truck and if you use the search bar it's best to use the Google search as you'll get better results.

Hi everyone, just joined the forum. Ordered a 2022 Ranger XLT FX4 in February. Patiently waiting for delivery, but was told to expect a 6 to 9 month wait.

Welcome, Kevin! Hopefully, it won’t be that long, but could be.

Hi everyone,
Name is Brett, been lurking for a while & finally joined. Im from lower NY and recently traded in my 2019 Ram Rebel for a 2021 Ranger, Lariat FX4.
I Cant believe how far these trucks have come since I was a kid. I used to work at a dealer back in high school at this thing would likely blow away the f-150 of the time...

Hi everyone!

New to this forum and Rangers... and trucks. My husband has had multiple tacos in the past, which is the direction I *thought* I wanted to go (this is my first automatic transmission too, but that's another thread). The 10-spd transmission, towing capacity, mpg, and of course nice lines made me decide on a Ranger. I'm 'upgrading' from a Subaru Crosstrek to the Ranger as my daily driver.

So far we've been wowed by the Ranger and we're super happy! 3 days in and counting while on a cross-country trip to bring it home.

You all appear a welcoming community, so thank you in advance for being a resource; I already have a ton of questions!

Welcome PT! There's a ton of info here and many willing to help with your questions and spend your money. ? The search bar works best when you use the Google tab and if you can't find your answer just post the question and you'll get many answers. Some you good, some not so good. lol

Hey everyone,
I guess it's time I finally join instead of just lurking haha. I've been scouring the forum for about a year trying to decide if a Ranger was the right midsize truck for me and it fit everything I needed better than its competition. Bought a 2021 Ranger FX4 in November, already have a few small things done, but with planning a wedding the mods will most likely slow down until later in 2022. I still hope to be decently active on here and continue learning more about these trucks. Also FWIW, take-off FX4 suspension and Sport trim wheels/tires with less than 2000 miles are just sitting in my garage.

Current Mods:
- Eibach 2.0 Stage 1 coilover kit with rear shocks
- Motegi MR150 Trailite +18 offset
- BFG KO2 285/70r17
- BDS intrusion beams
- Bulletpoint phone/accessory mount
- Diode Dynamic fog lights (still need to install)

Hi PT,

Welcome to the Ranger and to the 5G forums....Ask away on any question you have and someone will be able to answer, hopefully... Your Ranger has a heritage of being Ford Tough with previous models and I hope you will find the 5G Ranger continues that heritage.

Best,
Phil

Hi everybody.
New to the forum. Looking forward to all the discussion about Rangers.

I ordered a 2022 Velocity Blue XL STX 2WD SuperCab on 11/18/2021.
It finally went to 'in production' status on 4/5/2022 (1 week ago).

Guess I still have a while to wait for it to actually show up .

Anyway... Guess I'll do some reading/research until then.
