Looks good. I needed the tow package. I could have picked up a '25 XLT but the XL was the best bang for the buck. Only thing I'll miss from my Maverick are the heated seats. Picked up my '25 last Friday.

Nice truck, love mine looked at Mavericks too small. For a base truck they are really nice and drive great.

I picked up this new leftover 25 XL last week for my new daily driver. New to Rangers not Ford I have owned a 1991 Mustang GT for 35 years. The Ranger is a very base XL with the tow package and floor mats. I was out the door at 30K I think I get a pretty good deal. Love the Truck. My other vehichles are Jeep Wranglers. Added side steps this thing is big.

Thats a great deal . I have the exact same truck. Mine is a 2024 XL/STX 4x4 . It cost me $35,800 after Ford employee pricing and military/first responder rebate. I got factory side steps and carpet as only options. I added a Curt trailer hitch aftermarket and put a Ford hitch cover on it ( my little secret)!:LOL:
Good for you, I did not need the 4x4, the 4 door Wrangler has on demand 4x4 so I drive that in really bad weather. I could not find a 4x4 in that range around here, if I had it would have been a difficult decision.

same here. if we are going somewhere that we may need 4x4, we take the wife's wrangler. finding a 4x4 stx for a good price was tough here, too, or i would have probably gotten it.

my father-in-law got a 25 xlt that is the same color as my stx. the only difference i can see between the two trucks is his back window has a tiny sliding section and his came with 18" wheels (and its an fx4 but i am not comparing that since mine is 2x4). i get in his truck and its identical to mine. outside, other than the extra sensors, chrome grill bars, and different taillights, i don't see how he paid a little over 40k versus my 32k and got anything worth the difference.

for 10k difference, i need to actually see something and feel something. same color, same interior, same key ignition makes my truck look even better. though i do think he got bed steps on his
