I'm in Byron. Where did you order your trucks - the time is coming soon and would like to find a dealer that is good to work with.

I initially did a lot of research online and knew what I wanted, along with accessories, before I visited a dealer. The closest I got was working with Rock River Ford in Rockford. They found the truck I wanted at another dealer but I could not get them to come down where I wanted them to be. I then researched more myself, found the truck with everything I wanted in Peoria, and purchased it from them directly. They were willing to knock another $1,400 off the price for me which is right where I needed to be. I happened to be visiting friends in the area so it was not difficult for me to go to the dealer and work with the salesman, and then to return a couple weeks later to pick up the truck with the accessories I wanted.

I'm in the far NW burbs of Chicago, near Lake Zurich/Mundelein/Long Grove but I also have a lake house near Galena so I travel the far northern part of Illinois end-to-end.

Just picked up a 2021 Ranger Lariat Tremor in Carbonized Gray at Arlington Heights Ford. I got lucky, was exactly what I would have ordered. Showed up in the Ford inventory search as dealer ordered. Verified with the dealer that it was a dealer order for inventory and not a customer order, put a down payment on it over the phone and it happened to arrive the same day. I picked it up the next business day. :rockon:

Pleasant Prairie, WI over here. Always looking for a ranger meet for camping or trails sometime.

Just seems like we have to drive 8-10 hours for decent offroading for us haha.

I agree; I've been searching for places to off-road since before actually ordering the truck. Illinois has nothing until you're all the way down to Carbondale area. I keep digging for Wisconsin sites but I haven't found anything. I would be interested in a meetup with some of us if anyone finds a place..

Anyone interested in a Gator SFX tri-fold tonneau? It's like new - only been on since November. I honestly love the look and it's been great but I'm changing to a retractable cover in order to get the rack I want.

If you're willing to drive to Byron IL, it's yours for the cost of a beer. If you want to meet somewhere in the region, it's yours for $50.

PM if interested.
