Brand new black 24 Ranger Lariat FX4.

[Elgin_Ranger]

Hi guys, I just bought this truck a week ago after my Jeep Gladiator was totaled. I’m really enjoying it so far, the smooth ride, the spacious interior, the soft leather seats, and all the technology in this truck.

The only thing I’ve noticed is that there aren’t many 6th-gen models on the road, and even on the forums, it’s the same with aftermarket parts.

Now, I'm researching to find a tonneau cover with T-slots, any recommendations? I'm also looking to lift the truck to fit 33s tires. The OEM rims are really too small. However, it seems like there aren’t any true lift options on the market yet, apart from spacer lifts. I guess I'll have to wait for more options.

First year of a redesign you’ll probably have to wait until Sema this November. A lot of aftermarket stuff will start appearing after.

Yes, I'd wait. I see that there are already a lot of aftermarket parts for new rangers in Asia and Australia. A lot of very sick builds.

Hope to go to SEMA again this year! 63K steps in 3 days.

Do you know how to get a ticket for SEMA?

Yeah, so far aftermarket support in the US is just about non-existent.

I’m pretty happy with my roll n lock. Got the one with aluminum slats and t tracks. It does take up bed space behind the cab which sometimes is annoying, but since it retracts it should make t track accessories work well so a fair compromise.

Thank you. It's quite pricy. How is the quality? Is it worth the price? I noticed that the cover with T-slots are not cheap. Would you share some photos?

I was looking for a t-slot tonneau cover like you. The BAK Revolver X4ts was one I was looking at, but it was very pricy. I want the t-slot rails to install a rack on the back. I ended up going with the Gator SR1 Pro and adding the Elevate rack system with optional t-slot rails. Yakima has a t-slot rail system, but that requires drilling through the bed rails, the elevate system does not require drilling.

Yeah, the are stupid expensive. I wasn't going to do it but decided to go ahead since it's a new truck and what's a few more grand. ha...I can't say it's "worth the price" because I think they are all overpriced, but I am very happy with it and it is very secure, so it's nice I can leave stuff in the back with it locked up. The quality is excellent, too. Then the next piece is getting simple legs and 2 bars is going to cost another $500. Then whatever rack to put on top of the bars. But I had to stop spending money for a bit and will probably do that black Friday if something pops up. I'll take some pics when i get back to the truck.

They are selling terrible slow, as are all the vehicles. I ordered 3 identical lariats at 3 different dealers and took 1. they were all delivered around the sane time 4 months ago. the other 2 are still sitting in inventory and not sold yet, my salesman commented to me that they are just too expensive, especially the Lariats, keep in mind that greedy ford raised the price of the lariat around 10K higher than the same Lariat 2023 from last year, and yes I do realize it is now competivley priced to the other trucks in the same segment, and they are not selling either. just go to your local ford store and you will see a sea of 90K F150 unsold on the lot. the public has hit the price point of resistance. I had a 22 Lariat and a 23 Lariat, both of those were about the same price, but 10 K higher for the 24????? dopnt get me wrong I love my 24 as opposed to the 23 and 22, but the market only looks at MSRP and a 20% msrpo increase is insane, hence unsold trucks siting

I was looking at BAK Revolver too, but opted against the roll up type because I didn't want to use elevated rails. In hindsight, that might have been a better option as it doesn't take up bed space. Gator is probably a good choice as well as it is a lot cheaper - just not as secure.

Would you share some photos?

Heare's a photo plus a video of how it rolls up and back. The 4 rings in the T-slot are some tie down rings I added - they didn't come with it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/oXodjWreN2eGTetYA Con of the retractable is bed space loss and cost. Con of the rollup is having to elevate the rails over the roll. Good luck whatever you go with!

Looks good! I AGREE. They are overpriced. The BAK Revolver X4ts is a good option too. It's roll-up and a few hundred dollars cheaper. Does it only fit with elevated rails? Can I use racks from other brands?

For your cover, did you need to drill holes to install the drain system?
