New to me, 2022 Ford Ranger Lariat

[JediSamReye]

I would love if the original owner is on here, haha. But I wanted to post about it here. Generally I am pretty active in forums of the cars I own, I have had a bunch of subarus (WRX, Crosstreks, Forester XT, legacy GT) and Honda (Passport Trailsport, Pilot Trailsport)
My wife and I have been wanting to get a truck for a couple years, I was looking at tacomas, and canyons which lead to Mavericks, and they didnt feel truck like, so I tried the Ranger, fell in love with the Ranger, and the dealership a couple miles from my house had a 22 Ranger Lariat. Here is what I know about it so far, I am loving it so far.

Here is what was factory optioned:
2022 Lariat SuperCab in black
Equipment group 501A
FX4 package
Black appearance package
Also I didnt know this would be an option, but auto start stop removal.

The previous owner did have a bunch done. The dealership shared some of the upgrades, and I am sure I will find more. Over all I am very happy with the look of it.
3" overland Old Man Emu lift Kift
Blackhorse Roll bar
Tinted windows (which I think the drivers and passenger sides dont match, so I will get these redone)
Wheels are Icon Matte Black Vector 6
Tires are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T

Hi Samual

nice looking ranger you got there

 

[JediSamReye]

Thank you! The forum wasnt allowing photo uploads, so I thought there might be a minimum amount of posts before it would work. Nope, looks like it was my pop up blocker. I have uploaded some photos!

 

[underwhelmed]

Good choice with the Supercab!

 

[RedlandRanger]

Small world - I don't know who owned your Ranger previously, but I bought my Ranger from Doherty Ford as well. I'm pretty sure I was one of their first 5G Rangers they got in.

Welcome Samual. You will find this forum fun and helpful and once in a while a little drama.

Nice Truck !

Samual, good lookin' truck!

Nice truck - I’ve never seen a chase bar/rack like that.

I’ve had some turbo Subarus in the past - one of my favorite things about the Ranger is that its quickness reminds me of my old wrx, but it’s also a truck. Best of both worlds ?

Welcome to the forum - lots of good info on here.

 

[JediSamReye]

Thank you everyone! I never planned for a supercab, but we never used the back seats in any of ours cars, its just the wife and I.
A couple quick upgrades have been installed. These were a couple day one things

- Compustar Dash Cam XC with the rear camera. I am not in love with this camera, I have had it for about 5 months now, but that was tied with an alarm and remote start. Now with ford pass, I am just doing the camera. Same hardwire kit, so nothing out of pocket for me to move it over. I used fuse taps and while looking at threads here I found the fuses to use, so this install was 1 hour total.
It can be remotely viewed over LTE, front and back. The garmin I used to have one was forward facing, and was more a month. However the garmin doesnt have a data limit, and the XC does have one. It will also tell me the battery status of the truck.

- Motorola MA1 - Making the android auto wireless. I have used it for about 18 months on my passport, worked really well, its a pain to switch phones. But not something I do often.

 

[JediSamReye]

Installed my center console safe today. This is my 4th one I have gotten for cars between the wife and I. Always good to have. Installed in a breeze.

 

[JediSamReye]

A couple quick updates today.

Afe red intake, I know this does practically nothing, but I like the whoosh sound. And I did order the k&n cai, which is in the mail. I will use it in combo with this afe.

I also replaced the fender lights with smoked leds

Minor updates this week, but the best creature comfort ones yet.

Glass screen protector for the radio, its Matte, so much nicer for glare.
Also got my package from Trac electronics, I installed auto mirror folding, and the automatic window upgrade for the passenger window. Both of which are fantastic.

Welcome Samual! Great looking Ranger. I have a few friends who live in Forest Grove I'm in Beaverton. SCAB for the WIN.

I have considered a screen protector, but never thought about the glare aspect. Can you share a link to the one you got?
