Just purchased a 2021 Ranger Lariat with the Tremor package and the Tremor graphics in Carbonized Grey.

Went to the dealer to look at a Cyber Orange but for an extra cost color it was quite under whelming, looked like school bus yellow. Not usually attracted to grey vehicles but this one with the red and carbon fiber graphics rang my bell.

I traded an Ecoboost Mustang so I am familiar with the 2.3 Ecoboost. Not sure if I am going to do any performance mods like I did to the Mustang. For now I have a tonneau cover on order and will be getting a spray in bed liner.

Hoping there will be some changes I can make with ForScan.

I would like to see that combo in person as it is the only colour I like the stripes with.
The only other one I have seen with the stripe package and it was Race Red. It didn't do anything for me.

The other thing I am not crazy about are the steps. They get in the way getting in and out. If I try to use them I feel like I am contorting myself. I would take them off in a heartbeat if my wife wouldn't complain.

Welcome to Ranger 5G. Looks like youā€™ll fit right in. Hang around here long enough and then it starts. Youā€™ll see! ?

I just pulled the trigger on Ford's Performance pack - on sale for $650 (or was) at Levittown with free shipping. Under factory warranty with a 45hp/60lb boost. Mine should get here by early next week.

Same boat here, after a couple of weeks and bloody legs (they will chew up skin if not careful) I started really paying attention and figured a way to kind of use them both in and out. Now I don't even think about it, it's just natural.

Beautiful Ranger.. Congrats!

Look it over real good for dings and dents esp in this area on the hood, rear cab and paint cracking near the bottom wheel well.. donā€˜t ask me how I know. Maybe i was the only lucky one.

Welcome and Congrats! :like:
I agree, I wish the Orange was an actual Orange and not yellow.
I originally wanted the Carbonized Gray but, due to the shortage on lots I didnā€™t have much of a selection. I was happy to get one of my other favorite colors of Rapid Red though.
How many miles did you get on your 2.3 Ecoboost mustang? Iā€™m guessing it was fairly reliable since you got another one in a Ranger haha

I would have expected that the tune for the Ranger 2.3 would get the engine to the same power level as it does in the Mustang 2.3, 340HP/390 ft-lbs.

When I put the Ford Performance tune on my Mustang Ecoboost the most noticeable difference was in the 5500 rpm to redline. At 6000 rpm you pick up 100HP.
