Every time he uses the word vague, my brain takes a wrong turn. A very vague wrong turn.

It just feels a bit vague. Will get use to it.

Steering a bit floaty and mushy. Initial braking soft. Have not done a full on panic stop.

i really like my new 2025 Ranger. Just not the best for me to get into it.
Went out of State to find my Ranger and it came with OEM step boards I did not want. Climbed on the boards, stood up at 6'4" and was now a whole lot closer to my garage ceiling and towering over the truck. Waited until Black Friday, got AMP Research Power Steps on sale. As with my 2021 F150 when I switched to AMP boards, perfect step in and out for me and the wife.

Yes, those would be helpful. I will take the truck off road once in a while. I wanted the underbody protection of the Rock Sliders.

Probably the best thing I can do for improving getting in the Ranger is to lift the front and level it.
I am limited by my apartment gate height. Also wish to put a Slime Line II shallow rack on roof.
I think close to 1" higher would be a big improvement for me to get into vehicle.

I did a 2.5 level kit on the front and it makes the truck a lot taller so it would probably help you out

And i oddly cannot find the picture i normally use to show the change but if you did a 2.5 and 1" out back, the truck will look and feel alot taller

I apologize for the confusing post. Smoked some weed and had some drinks.

I really like my 2025 Ford Ranger XLT 2.3L MPC FX4, Marsh Gray. I ordered what I wanted.

The Electric Steering with the OWL tires has a vague feel at times.

I did not want the Black Out Package. My under ground parking space is small.
I scraped the wheel wheel trim at front. Would have looked a lot worse with painted trim.

The only thing I do not like about the truck is the angle of the front window pillar.
I have to awkwardly get my leg and head into the truck first. If not I am dragging the top of my head along the window pillar. Wondering if i put a leveling kit on, that it would improve getting in.

Its a pleasure once in the vehicle. Ford has done a good job on the foam and bolstering.
The look of the interior is very good. I have heard its a better interior then the Bronco.

I bit more of my rambling.

Weed and alcohol are best consumed while watching a hockey game.
