Anyone run into a supposed "LED bulb shortage" my lariat scab had that come up and we had to take the 500 credit to swap to halogen to get the thing rolling. Atleast we got the build date and Vin, looks like it will be delivered August it early September from getting ordered in March. I'm hoping i can just go into the local Ford dealer and get the LED bulbs and swap.

I was under the impression that the whole assembly is different, not just the bulbs, but not sure either way...

You can go any place and find replacement led bulbs for the halogen headlight assemblies that are now being installed. H-11 lo beam 9005 hi beam, I think.

However

The Lariat OEM led housing that is now temporarily unavailable is a completely different integrated led light system that doesn't have "bulbs" per se. If you do a search on here, there are other threads that discuss aftermarket led light assemblies.

I will look into it but essentially what your saying is the entire headlight assembly has been swapped with the xlt one...... I guess the company credit card is going to buy two new lariat headlight assemblies. Because that just won't do.

I've has a supercab Rangrr on order since October. I never received confirmation or vin # from Ford. Or any correspondence for that matter. Dealer said there is a parts shortage for supercab's and had no idea when to expect it.
So I will be taking delivery of a 2022 Nissan Frontier King Cab Pro4X today and couldn't be happier.
Wasn't totally thrilled about a 4 cylinder turbo. Call me a little old school. This will be my4th Nissan pick up and never had a link of trouble.

Almost traded in my 09 Frontier for the Ranger last year but Ford dealer said my Frontier had zero trade in value.so decided to keep it for backup. The Frontier is only base model 4cyl but is so reliable and never had any mechanical issues whatsoever. Glad Ford didn't want it because it's still racking up the miles .I appreciate the Ranger is much quicker, tows more and still gets better mpg than the N/A Frontier but no doubt the Frontier has been rock solid truck for me for over 10 years

I’ve had 6 cars over the last two years, from minivans to sedans. Hands down my favorite vehicle so far!

Didn't know until today that you can get single cab, Supercab, and SuperCrew Rangers in Germany.

Here's a link to the SuperCab page. They call it the Extrakabine

Here's the page of different Ranger models.

Looks great, what's your suspension, wheel, tire set up?

2.5” rough country coilovers and n2 shocks in rear
Fuel rebel 18” +25 offset
285/65r18 Nitto Trail Grapplers
With all of my performance mods I’m averaging about 22-25 on the highway (yes I adjusted speedo)

2.5” rough country coilovers

How do those rough country coil overs ride? I've seen them an looks like they're less than half the fox 2.0's.

They’re ok, levels the truck out nice. Problem is more of the tires, they’re M/T 10 ply nittos. So it kind of makes it ride like a lumber wagon. But for the price of the coil overs I think they’re worth it!

Hey folks - I was over on the What did you do to your Ranger today? thread and some guy posted that he installed a “bed extender”.

Any idea what the hell this contraption is for?

I ordered my 2022 Ranger SuperCab in March this year. Got an email from FMC on June 30th stating my truck was scheduled to be built the week of 08/22. I had heard from my dealer on May 24th that Ford was deleting the LED headlights from Ranger Lariat models that had not yet been scheduled to be built. Major PO'd!!! I have asked my dealer to find any other Lariat on any other lot sitting out there to swap my headlights but I don't think they will do it. Ford has "generously" offered a $500 credit for this change. Looking at parts costs, the pair of LED headlight assemblies list for $3,333.34 + tax. A pair of Halogen assemblies sell for $1,351.50 + tax. A difference of $1,981.84. So....roughly $2000 difference where Ford is pocketing 75% of it. In all my years of dealing with Ford, this has got to be the CRAPPIEST thing they have ever done to me.

The Lariat package really doesn't include anything I would want except for the lights. Might as well change your order to an XLT.

Sort of related, but the Tacoma has an LED headlight option on most trim levels which is separate. I believe it was only like 4 or 500 bucks to add too. Not sure about now with post Covid supply issues though.

That's nice to know...my 2021 Lariat with the LED's just became more valuable !!!
