the person who buys it, isn't a "sucker"
he's just more successful than you and has no time or interest in adding the extras on his own time.

Not sure I'd view it that way. I know plenty of people with money to wipe their ass with who still buy smart.

Lets call a spade a spade; the Roush package is a $13,000+ prestige appearance package. They don't include their own cold air intake and I believe the exhaust is a re-branded Borla. Let us be clear, there is nothing performance in context of price tag. Someone could order and still pay someone else to install $13,000 worth of product that would make a Roush Ranger look like a piece of crap. It is already established $500 into a tuner already out performs a $13,000+ packaged truck.

However at the end of the day; their wallet, their money. That doesn't mean people can't have an opinion though...

I'm gonna get in on the action and design a damper Ranger. There's going to be dampers everywhere! On the hood, tailgate, glovebox. doors, headrests even mini dampers on the seats like an air ride suspension. lol This is easily a $15K markup. :shock: ?
I already own a ranger with 9 dampers on it. Can you beat that?

edit: forgot the glove box, 10!

The vehicle pictured does not appear to be a Roush packaged Ranger. It looks more like an FX4 Sport. Roush has a distinctive grille and wheels, as well as some exterior badging, none of which can be seen in these pictures.

That's not bad. But $13k? No thank you. Buy the wheels and tires and grill for $4000 and you're pretty much there for a 1/3 the price.

It's just a bunch of cosmetic upgrades and nothing performance wise. So to answer your question, (personally) I don't think it's worth it. But there are many out there that see the value in things like this and I'm sure someone will scoop this up.
Agreed. Waste of $$ in my IMO too. Rather invest that money in my own mods. For $13K I can buy so many spare Dampers.

It is unfortunate it doesn't include a tune and other performance mods like intercooler or something for that price.

Yeah the prices are just insane all around right now. I have considered selling the ranger recently in part due to the insane money I can get for it. The flip side is anything else I might want is also marked up the same amount. This is inflation mixed with cheap loans with long repayment terms. This bubble is gonna burst its just a matter of when and how hard we come down.

Dealer not too far from me has a 2021 XLT listed for a tad under $60k. Add in the $995 dealer fee and $2695 mandatory add on dealer package it's going to be mid to high $60's OTD. Here it is.

The black one looks like it has a ton of mods, so I guess I couldn't completely scoff at the price. But the blue one looks stock except for the wheels/tires, so $13k or $14k over a Lariat just seems crazy.

Stupid. And that's a used one.

The best thing we can do is just try to make sure anybody who shops at those dealerships and participates in their larceny gets mocked severely.
