Hi everyone! I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat that I picked up in October 2022. It only had 13k miles on it and it is in great condition. This is my 2nd Ranger (previous was a 2004 XLT) and by far my favorite truck so far. It is my daily driver and love everything about it. I tow a small travel trailer with it and it takes the weight better than my Silverado did!

Glad I found this group. There is so much information to get through. The only mods I've done are running boards and roll up cover for the bed. It came with a bull bar on the front. I'd take it off but they moved the parking sensors onto it and although I'm pretty handy, I'd rather not screw those up (they're already kind of screwed up because I get the pre-collision alert for no reason sometimes.)

Thanks for the add and I look forward to being part of this great community!

Welcome, I have a 19 Lariat also but 2wd. Best year to have. But you need to post some photos of your Ranger!

Thanks for the welcome. I just posted this in the towing section. I'll take more once the weather gets better and it gets a bath.

Welcome to a great forum Laura. Don't let the humor scare you off, we like to have fun as we learn about our trucks and what to spend money on.

Hi Laura,

Welcome to these Forums. Many helpful folks here and I have the same package as you do in 2019. I hope you realize that this Ranger has a heritage of being Ford Touch and I hope it delivers for you!

Best,
Phil

I'm a Washington State University Cougar Football fan. We have to have a sense of humor or we'd cry every year! All kidding aside, that is one of the things I enjoyed while perusing the forum. I know that while Iconic Silver might not be the best color, it doesn't show the dirt as much as say a blue or Saber one does hee hee

Welcome Laura

The real question is - do ya got a tail gate damper or not. There are two camps here - TG damper (kind of like being the Borg from Star Trek) or no TG damper (everyone else who will get assimilated by the Borg).

It is a very good community here and everyone is helpful.
Enjoy the truck like the rest of us do

Resistance is futile! Get the damper. Besides, it comes with a virtual t-shirt that is completely useless. That alone gives you bragging rights ?

Hello @CougFan

Thanks for dropping by and introducing yourself, always great to see more members in the community.

Sounds like you got a solid truck on your hands and we would love to see some photos of it when you get a chance!

It's the perfect truck for the state whether you're zipping up the i-5 or lost on some logging road in the mountains. It even got me through Snowmageddon in PDX the other day

Useless you say? ? Well there goes your chance at being Grand Poobah next month.

Darn it I just noticed it's in blue. Now you know who is going to want to wear it all the time. ?‍
