My 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 w/ tow hitch, bed swing tool boxes, bed mat, soft bed cover, throttle controller & more

[Mike9816]

Mine is great. I've had it for six weeks and needs a wash. Just added the Leer shell. I'm a HAM and now have a couple of antennas and radios to install. Now I have good mount locations! More to follow.

Very nicely equipped. I gotta say that the hitch is going to hang up on something, that will be awkward. If it bottoms out on a steep concrete driveway it will jar the truck and rattle your fillings! Do you really need it that low? You could always saw off the extra material at the bottom. I did that to an Andersen hitch. Leave a little extra hanging down to act as a skid plate for that expensive ball mount.

Do me a big favor and take all your stuff out of those two side boxes and lay it out beside them, take a picture, I am trying to get a feel for their capacity. Do you miss the use of the rear tiedowns? Thanks.

I will get a picture of the inside. So now to tie down I use a spot on the toolbox bracket. It works out great!

I have had mine for a few weeks now and love it. It’s perfect for me. I got some cheap towel material seat covers from Amazon, two ford swing case tool boxes, ford bed mat and tailgate cover, cool tow hitch from weigh safe, a gator soft bed cover, raxiom speed form throttle controller, and am waiting for my ford splash guards. I do a lot of dirt roads, more in hunting season so the splash guards are a must. I’m happy so far. The only annoyance is when pulling my Atv trailer the truck intermittently tells me lights are out and it’s disconnected. I just need to figure out the trailer stuff on the touch screen I think.

Do the bed box’s stick out further than the wheel wells?

What is the verdict on the bed mat? Is it the exact same size as the previous model? Did you get yours from Ford? I'm definitely planning on getting a bed mat. I prefer them over the drop-in / spray-in liners.

Not that I can tell.

It is a little wider at the wheel wells. There are no gaps there.

That is helpful. Thanks.

I installed a swing case on mine and front of the box rubs on the factory ford bed mat. Did or do you have that issue? I’m just curious. I have to lift up on the front of the case to get it to swing in all the way.

Mine doesn’t. Maybe there is an adjustment you can do on the height?

I’ll look into it this weekend. Thank you for the response! I am hopeful that I can get it to swing shut like it’s supposed to. I really like them.

I did have to lower the latch all the way down for mine to work correctly.

Too hot to pull it all out! Lol

Yes they do! I just looked. A few inches…

Mine actually does rub the bed mat some. I do think if you adjust the latch on the bracket toward the wheel well down, yours will work fine then.

So I have decided against the throttle controller. In sport mode it is just about impossible to drive smoothly. More of an annoyance than anything. So it’s back in the box and on the shelf… I did get my splash guards on though, and I like them a lot! Very easy to install.
