Confirmed 2024 Ranger Deliveries Thread - Add Yours! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[cboggs]

It finally happened!!!! I never thought I'd see the day, but it finally arrived! Too bad I picked it up on a wet day, it was already dirty by the time I got it home.

A few thoughts:

Cactus Gray is THE color to have. It looks so good in person!

I love it SO much better in person than I thought I would! Pictures don't do it justice, everything looks better, and materials feel much higher quality than I thought they would. I can't overstate how huge of an upgrade this is over the 5G Ranger Lariat I had.

It rides like a dream! The loud Ford chimes are a bit annoying, and the screen, especially going into off-road mode, can be disappointingly laggy. When I hit the off-road button, the front camera pops right up, but the bottom half of the screen with tire pressure and lockers takes several seconds to show up. I checked for update, but no new updates to be had.

Overall, I'm impressed and I'm really happy I stuck all the waiting out for it. I wouldn't want to wait that long for a vehicle ever again, but this one was worth it!

Looks awesome! Loving my cactus grey as well! Congrats!!

My XLT delivered to dealer yesterday, order was wrong they didn't add chrome appearance pkg on truck, been 10 months. Reorder and wait again, just my luck

Was that a dealer mixup on your order form or was it a mixup on Ford's end? I might need to double check mine with my dealer. It hasn't even made it to production yet so I dont think any changes I make will affect the outcome much.

Well it finally happened, my Ranger is in final preparation in Maryland. I am on a month longer journey and I will not take delivery until I return. The dealer will send pics soon and I will share them here. In the meantime the tracker updated to look like this.

Identical build to mine! Hopefully it looks as good in person as my mind’s eye pictures it as!

My personal preference. Not right/wrong, just what I like.
Bedcover: RoughCountry hard trifold.
Tint: Autobahn Films Ceramic i3. Front windshield 70, Front Strip 5, Front side 15, Rear/Back 15 over top factory.
It’s dark, but clarity and heat resistance is best I’ve used.
Wheels: Can’t roll factory. I wanted to stay similar weight as factory but increase the width to 9” as to flatten out the rounded tire/reduce sidewall bulge & an offset that was flush with my mud flaps. Truck handles much better with reduced body roll and the stance now is more comparable to other Raptor siblings.
Steps: 33” tire, the truck is not very high. They’re tucked up to much so if used as intended you have to bend back down to get in. Easier to step out, again the truck sits low, you can just step out but with the running boards your ankle/calf scrapes down them unless you jump out or stand up outta the truck then step back down to get out.
If you’ve ever had a Raptor or Tremor with those boards, getting them clean is tough. They’re very rough textured (so as not to slip) but you pressure wash & a stiff brush for 30 minutes to clean. Also weight savings. It’s a performance vehicle. The weight of removing the boards offset the bedcover and then some.
But mainly I think it looks much cleaner without the boards. I took them off my f150 raptor and Braptors, both on 37’s and my 5’5 wife & daughter has no problem getting in/out.

Here’s before & after

I know you've posted this truck elsewhere, but I really like that setup. It definitely seems this truck is too small to really need running boards for all but the shortest drivers. Removing them makes it look much more capable. It is an off road truck anyway. Maybe throw some rock rails on there at some point.

Have you noticed any rubbing with the wider tire setup?

My dealer sent me pics of my Ranger Lariat since I am on a trip and will take delivery late in April.

Not sure who screwed it up, hope I don't lose the 1000.00 rebate for preorder know it wasn't my fault

Picked mine up today! Finally after 308 days of suspense... Ordered 5/26/23...Good news, it fits in the garage ...my Gator bed cover fits perfect, glad I took it off Pepper ...I'll need to find a new adhesive strip for the front seal/weatherstrip. Also Husky mats fit...bed mat fits, but a 2" gap at the wheel wells proves out the new suspension! 6 bed tie downs... looks like my bed extender will fit, and they didn't even spray up the threaded holes with liner, but I'mcuriouswhatallthetinyholesareintheend of the bed?? ..Slight bad news, the console is bigger so my tray doesn't fit. Saw a Lariat last week at an auto show, and it had a tray...guess the xlt is de-contented already!. I left my $290 Bestop step on my trade bc I didn't need it with my optional side steps and it was really bolted on and I didn't feel like messing with it. So far so good, except can't connect to sync 4 with my Samsung s21, the sales people tried and tried but I wasted a lot of time there and will have to figure it out. Curious if anyone else is having problems??

Nice truck. Congrats.
Sync 4 - I have no clue but there are a couple suggestions from Ford that the dealership may or may not have tried.
What are some general troubleshooting steps if Android Auto is not working with SYNC 4? (ford.com)
Why is my phone not connecting to SYNC? (ford.com)

Sorry for the slow response. No rubbing with normal driving (only 200 miles so far). Have not taken it off-road. Ford has a type that is mainly for looks/chips, could use your points on. If any rubbing off-road, can always cut or unbolt the crash bars.

Truck looks good, going full ceramic tint with mine too, don't know about strip on windshield, hadn't really thought about it but was planning on doing 50% on full windshield. Bought black truck and plan on keeping for at least ten years so also trying to figure out if I want to drop the money to PPF the front. Not cheap but have heard very good things, curious if anyone else is doing this or has experience with it.

The strip is kinda like pulling your sunvisor down but you can see through it. There's a line on the front windshield you're not supposed to go below, some people do/don't follow that. It helps.
