Hi All,
Just bought a 2020 Ranger Lariat, Lighting Blue of course.
So I'm looking to add accessories to it.
Thanks
HI Mick,

You are on track with your Ranger to potentially drain your wallet with mods. Many folks here are very helpful to assist you in the extraction of $ from your wallet for sure for the various Mods. Enjoy your Ranger! Novi is within Ford Motor Co employee territory...Any chance you are with Ford?

Best,

Thanks P.A for the reply.
I do work for Ford in a round about way.
I work for a company called Troy Design & MFG.
We are owned by Ford and we do the prototypes for them.
So we started working on the Ranger in 2017 for the 2019 model.
As a rule (for me anyways) I waited a year for them to work out the bugs. ??
And as you, I am getting to retire within a year or two.
I was thinking about moving out that way, I've been looking in AZ. and NW.
Hope to chat with you again.

You might have to work an extra year or two if you hang around here long enough. ?

You really should start the mods immediately with the obligatory tailgate damper. Don't listen the the naysayers as they don't get get the added hp gains from this mod. Use code WELCOME at checkout for free shipping. In case I'm away member @KJRR is the VP and can help you out with the damper mods. Yes, there are mods for the damper....see why you need to keep working now? There's even a special thread for them here. ?

Welcome to the forum! I like the lightening blue. You came to the right place if you are thinking about accessorizing. Lots of ideas and advice available. And I see you've met our President of tailgate dampers. Its a cheap and easy place to start and you can modify them to your taste.
Time to get the plastic out and start ordering!

Whatever you do stay away from the “ what did you do to your Ranger today” thread.
(Unless you’re willing to drain your wallet)
