Found another XLT Close enough to my order and bought it today.

[PawnX]

It was time to give up on my order no idea if/when Ford will ever ship it who knows. Quality hold for over 5 months with no details.

Feel bad for the dealer since they tried to help me out. New one is missing a few things, but other than the side step I can get them done aftermarket. Spray in bed-liner, clear bra, and door sill plates.

Ordered CG but ended up with the Shadow black XLT, Equipment group 301A, FX4, Advance tow + Tech
I think she is a keeper. I actually like the black more but have been driving a black vehicle the last 18 yrs so was

Nice truck, Congratulations!

Congrats! I think you will be very happy.

Congrats! I believe the sides steps can be added based on crawling under Rangers that have it versus don’t because it should theoretically just bolt into the places already there from what I saw. A forum member (can’t recall the name at the moment) bought all the parts and is waiting for delivery. Hopefully they will post their install experience afterwards.

Congrats. I have a cactus gray XLT and love it, but the shadow black is really nice on the Ranger.

Congrats! I'm in the exact same boat. found one near close to my order and am awaiting to see it today. Ford ordering process sucks.... "In production" purgatory....

Yes it does, to bad it doesn't h everything I wanted and ordered. At this point I have no faith in Ford delivering the truck I wanted. And the dealer suffered due to fords lack of communication and inability to fulfill orders in a timely manner. This truck was built 3 months after mine. Yet it's here and mines in a lot in Detroit.

Yeah , I read that as well. I'm fine without them. If I find in every day use I want it, I might go that route. But not a show stopper and not worth the hassle at this point.

Yeah I wanted to see the Cactus Gray, but they didn't have any. Out of white, GC, iconic silver that I've scene in person I do think I like the shadow black best.

Dropped her off at X-line to get the spray in bed-liner done today. Still looking for a place to do the clear bra. Was going to ash at x-line if he knows of a place that does good work.

@PawnX that looks so good! I have used Line-X on my last two trucks and ALWAYS had a great satisfaction with them. Even after hauling dirt bikes in the bed for years, could not even tell it was used. Great product!

Yeah, they did a better job than some of the ones I saw at the dealer from the factory. I didn't notice any overspray. with black it's likely less noticeable though.
As soon as my wife gets around i'm going to go pick it up from getting the clear bra done.

Is the clear bra applied directly on the paint? May I ask ballpark that costs? I don't want a full hood protector, so that may be the best option for me as well.
