I was just stating a fact. I think Ford knows a lot more about marketing and selling vehicles than anyone on this forum. it's naive to post on a forum and then complain when folks have another opinion. If you don't like negative comments then don't post or don't read them, pretty simple solution.
Negative comments are great--I'm certainly negative about the cheap-ass black handles. You wanna say you don't care what color the handle is, that's cool. It's stuff like "be happy that's all there is to complain about", like someone gets to decide which opinions are important and which complaints are valid, that's obnoxious. Try to understand: I'm not saying whether this decision will cost Ford money or not--I'm just saying it affects my view of the value of the lariat trim. Others can disagree, that's fine. I'm not so arrogant as to say my view is the only correct one, especially on something that's entirely a matter of personal preference.
The lack of respect for differing opinions is a huge issue that goes far beyond trucks. Differences of opinions used to be embraced and even sought after. Now it will get you cancelled. I hope a lot of people get the gist of your post.
It’s not like a massive dent but it’s right above the FX4 decal on a black truck, when light hits it you notice... literally parked it when I first picked it up and it was the first thing I noticed. Mentioned it in a discussion about something else with the parts guy at my Ford and he rolled his eyes and laughed and said the Ranger isn’t the only one getting them pre installed.....If you park at Wal-Mart, you can get one (or several) for free
No just dampers. Carry on.Wait... you guys got tailgate handles??
Select the mode and the truck will tell you / will do it’s thing... or read manual. I have only used snow mode. Works alright
Yup tailgate handles and a damper! Mine is chrome because I paid extra!Wait... you guys got tailgate handles??
For the record, my response wasn't directed at the OP or intended to be about complaining too much. It was over the top in an effort to make a joke or be in jest.
To be honest, it is only through reading this thread that I realized that my Blue 2019 Lariat's tailgate handle is painted blue--I had to run out to the garage to check--which is another way to say that it is not something that I will miss much on future models....
Looks great. Here was my Lariat. Liked the look. New truckPlastiDip is your friend.
Just seems if they are painting the door handles they would paint the tailgate handle. Kind of like having antique brass door pulls in your whole house then brushed nickel on one door. After all if you are buying a Lariat it's likely over a 40k purchase.
