I'm Chris from Cape Cod and this is my new to me 2021 Ranger Lariat, FX4, tow, 501A, Securicode, slush mats, factory hard tonneau. I needed to get out of my VW GTI and into a truck, but I wasn't giving up LED lighting, heated leather seats, SXM, and Android Auto. This one is kind of a unicorn. I bought it from a dealer in Long Island. It was a one owner, 3 year lease return, where the leasee was the dealer's sales manager. All maintenance was done on time. Everything was included, like both keys, manuals, Securicode key card, etc. 25K miles, $36K out the door. I rented a car on the Cape, drove it to Bridgeport CT, took the ferry, and drove to the dealership, then turned around and went the same way home. Clean, low mileage trucks like this are like houses around here. They sell in a day or two. You gotta move fast and be willing to be flexible. I bought it sight unseen with a return guarantee. Needless to say, it's not going back.

I've been a VAG guy pretty much my whole life although I did own a 1999 Ranger SuperCab 4.0L 5 speed. Great truck, another unicorn. VAG has a diagnostic/modification system called VAGCOM that is a lot like Forscan, so I'm very familiar and comfortable with hex programming and software mods in general. I'm going through the Forscan threads to narrow down what I'd like to do.

See you on the forums.

Welcome Christofer - I’m a Vag guy too - just ask Mrs. DukeCanBuildit.

Brett here from Hudson Valley NY, just picked up a 22 XLT in Forged Green. Owned a 2019 F150, traded it for a 24 outback wilderness and needless to say huge mistake which led me to the ranger. Only thing I didn’t like was the soft brakes on the ranger which has now been fixed with the FORScan trick!
Would like to upgrade to LED headlights at some point, maybe someone can lead me to anyone that gets a discount on Lariat OEM? Or selling a pair? Either way, either way works

Great looking truck Brett - rare colour - is it a Splash Edition?

Yes, Forest splash edition. Was shocked when I saw it on the lot

Welcome! It's nice to have a unicorn and not see the same color truck all over town. My '19 Ranger was in Saber and I think in the 4 years I owned it I only saw one other around my area.

As far as the Lariat headlights you could look in the members for sale section here, check online sites like eBay or if you want brand new message @LevittownFordParts.com. They're a sponsor here and can offer discounts on certain items.

Nice color!
I had a Forest Green 4g but like the Forged Green a lot better...

Yeap, all Forged Green are Splash Editions since that was the only package that could be paired with that color. You can also tell by the Splash wheels, and it should have colored inserts in the grill, I forget which color the insert is on the Forged Green, I know most Splashes got a yellowish color.

Hello, I am Stephen, just got my 2019, hot pepper red Ranger XLT, super Crew 4x4. So far it's great, it replaced my old F150 super Crew. No pics yet but will get some soon.

Better be real soon.
There are members here with exceptional locational skills and "a very particular set of skills"...if you know what I mean.
Failure to follow forum rules may result in a Bud Light truck in front of your house and a visit from the PoPo for excessive party activity.
