My Ranger finally arrived July 29th. I ordered Feb 28th. Signed the papers just this last Friday. So happy and excited first ever brand new vehicle and I absolutely love the truck! I have to wait till next weekend to pick it up, because they still have to detail it.

Congrats on your new Ranger! I do agree with Robert @NotBudule that I would take it as is and detail it yourself. Not because of the waiting (that's a killer too) but because it'll get done right by doing it yourself. It'll also give you a chance to go over every inch of it and see if there's any factory blemishes. While not every dealership is bad it seems most can't PDI and detail it right and me being OCD, I'd rather do it myself. :crazy:

I’m confused though. Both trucks in the pics are FX4 stickered but yours doesn’t have a front skid plate. Or it’s painted red?

Nice ride and welcome to the 5G family. Before you leave the dealer check your tire pressure. Can almost guarantee it will be way high and your teeth will rattle on your first drive!

To get the spending spree primed we now have a page of all the deleted items from when they first offered the 5G Ranger for US sales. Minus this list a damper is Best bang for the buck upgrade! ?

How can it not be bad ??? It's already bad ! I want to go down there and sit with it right now ! Get down there man !!!
I was coming back from Louisiana when my salesman called and told me it wad in. What was bad was I still had to haul a load out to Savanah, GA and the closest I was coming back home was Kansas City. I told my salesman to shoot me some pics of it. He said I will do one better and send a video. Then called my dispatch told him after GA I needed a load through the house.https://www.andersonautovideo.com/videos/eIeQ0AM1EpTm?view_token=ZT4F0w So I had to live with replaying this video till I could get home and go see it lol!

Congrats! These Rangers are great and this forum has a wealth of info to get the most out of your Ranger!

Edit: Expect the tailgate damper crowd to pester you about one.
Thanks and yeah sorry to say the tailgate damper is not high on the list of things I want to do to this truck lol
