Yes, I did order direct from them! So you have plenty of right to be pissed.
Appreciate the intel, waiting for a call back from Bestop now. It's wild how bad customer service has gotten with these companies.

And feel free to tell them my name (David Miller) and my order number: #69393.

I'm in New Hampshire, if that's any factor. Good luck!
Just spoke with Bestop, super helpful. They have different stock for direct customers and their dealers. They don't expect dealer stock until the winter (LOL) but they have limited stock right now for sale directly to customers. I placed an order over the phone for a dealer stock unit which they are going to "expedite" which means ships in 3-5 days.

Again, appreciate you posting about yours and the intel on how you ordered. Hopefully mine shows up in 2022...

Gave her a wash and heard crackling around the rear Ford emblem when drying the truck. The area around the lettering looks to be cracking. I can only guess from the strong South Florida sun. Not a good sign when the company logo cannot last.

Also noticed the trim on the door is turning white on both the drivers side and the passenger side in the same area located between the front and rear windows.

Not sure if you are still following this post, but I also live in Florida on the Treasure Coast and have the same white on rubber at pillars between windows..my son-in-law has a friend who lives in Port St. Lucie and went to the dealer and they ordered him new rubber....Florida is really rough on the rubber and plastic...I went though 3 Bakflips on my F250 before I went to the MX4...and the Mx4 I put on the Ranger is already turning.....I am going to talk to the dealer next week and will post answer I get....not sure how may other Ranger owners are have same problem. 2020 Ranger Lariat Super Crew Dark Gray...

That's awesome! And I didn't have a 8mm allen head socket and that would have been helpful, I used a T25 (I think) instead. I also needed a deep socket for the M10 X 120 MM bolt (17mm, I think).

Glad to hear about your order and it's interesting how they allocate their inventory.

Good luck and I hope it serves you well.

I actually like that as opposed to the hitch step options. Thanks fro posting!
Here are some pics showing the TrekStep in action, I grab onto the side rail and feel pretty steady. Not sure how it would be if I had something in one hand, I doubt I'd ever step up like that. I'd always place whatever on the tail gate and then grab it once I was in the bed.

From the back with both shims installed to drop it as low as possible.

I also slid it all the way left for max step surface with tail gate down.

Just showing it slid all the way to the left.

It sticks out but no wider than the stock tires.

Confidence-inspiring aluminum step with grippy surface.

Stepping up with tail gate damper in use. =p

The step as it looks from standing in the bed.

Another pic showing the step down and set as far left as possible.

Filled her up. Took 18.75 gal. Most I ever put in there.
With fuel points, got it for under 4 bucks a gal. Feels good to save something in this madness.

According to the low fuel warning it was 7 miles to empty! I think she was fibbing me.

I installed my Ford perimeter alarm system, the Ford Ranger front and mid bash plates, the blue tow hooks. She, meaning Lucille looks so much better with the rubber front bottom air dam gone. I would like to fill the middle section of my front hood with the same color blue stripe too?? Not sure where to get that done however? I really like the Iconic Silver with the blue. I saw a mustang that way and it looked totally awesome.

Looks great Mark! :like: You can try a local graphics shop or one that does vinyl lettering for your hood stripe. They should be able to make one up for you in any size and color.

And we know that how, exactly?
?
Oh I have experience! Many times I have said to myself "Just another exit", and the wife hates it when I do that or wait for it to get that low.

There have been a couple "oh $#!T what am I going to do if..." times.

That whole algorithm/calculation for fuel mpg / miles left isn't entirely accurate. So depending on your risk level and where you are, give it a try sometime!
