New owner here with 2019 highly optioned XLT 4x4 Crew cab Sport. Excited about my turbo truck. Really stepped outside my comfort zone coming from my tried and true full size Chevy Avalanche of nearly 15 years of pure bliss reliability. Taking a leap of faith with the EcoBoost that has been in the Mustang since 2015 that this little gem will work out for me for the next 15 years, hopefully. How I got excited about the Eco is test driving a new mustang.
I test drove all the midsized pu's (Ridegeline, Frontier, Taco, Colorado) and only came away with a smile from the ZIPPY go fast ford! It has all and I mean all one could ask for safety features and love those push button electric folding mirrors! Only wish for Leather seats but was not going to pay up another $4K for them with the Lariat package when I had all those features already + less the FX4 package which I don't care about.

Those owners now. - Would you buy again given the chance to unring the bell?

Absolutely! I might go for the Lariat though because I REALLY love the adaptive cruise control in my wife's Edge and would have liked it in my Ranger, but the truck itself is flawless and definitely a repeat purchase would be in order.

You don’t need Lariat for adaptive cruise control, I got it on my XLT

Interesting. I "highly" optioned out an XLT and it came to within ~800 of a Lariat that I didn't need to option (other than LSD). I got the leather seats, LED headlights, and an outside look I liked but got stuck with an strange dash design. It's just going to stay stock.

If I was going to do a build, I'd just get an XL.
