Hi everyone!
I stumbled upon this site researching these Rangers and wanted to introduce myself!
I recently picked up this used '21 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 in Cactus Grey from the local Ford Dealership. After driving it around for a few days now, I have to say I love this little truck so far! It's got a surprising amount of pickup for a little 4-banger turbo and weighing nearly 4500lbs! I was previously eyeing some of the 3rd gen Toyota Tacomas but stumbled upon this truck at the dealer down the street. Being Ford Gold Certified, having 41k miles on the clock, a 12-month comprehensive warranty, a powertrain warranty out to 100k miles, and having the FX4 package, I couldn't resist! It also came from the dealer already equipped with some aftermarket parts like a Rough Country lift, forged upper control arms, and American Racing wheels that are well appreciated.
The GF and I are big fans of the outdoors (i.e. hiking, camping, boondocking, etc.), but to date, we've been always limited by our vehicles. Having previously lived in the Midwest and a city, we never had much need for a truck like this. Coming from a modified '17 Infiniti Q50, an OBS F150 XLT RWD, and the GF's Volvo S60 sedan; I love the opportunities this vehicle presents in terms of what we can do and where we can access. Our new truck, Roxanne, will receive its inaugural test run on a local dirt trail, through the black mountains, on the way out to Lake Mohave this weekend. Living in rugged NW Arizona, we're looking forward to getting it out on some forest roads, mountain passes, and rocky trails soon!
I will do some lurking through the forum pages here, but if anyone has suggestions for accessories like a reputable on-board air compressor (for airing tires up/down), some supplementary lighting equipment (like the Diode Dynamics ditch lights), or other accessories/must-haves, I would love to hear them!
If you see us out and about, give us a wave or say hi!

I changed it out to Eibach suspension all around which made a huge difference and much better than a level kit.
