Brought her back in late December ive been loving her for this past few months. Had originally brought a Maverick but it just didn’t check off the boxes like i did. Sat on this one and I immediately knew it was the one!

I ordered my ‘24 Lariat with the Adv Towing and FX4 packages. It’s been great in all aspects towing our 4200lbs RV, daily driving, long trips and inclement weather. If I had one complaint it would be how long it takes the sync system to connect to CarPlay. Same color, btw. Silver, right?

Mine is actually the Azure gray! But i do agree on how the Sync system takes a little too long to connect. Not a deal breaker but a little annoying when i have to wait for the gps to show on the screen.

Hm… I have the same ‘24 Lariat - albeit in the (faster) Cactus grey colour 🤣 (jokes of course, I actually really like that Azure Blue!)
- bought new in December 2025.
I don’t have the mentioned CarPlay problems, maybe once in my 7month ownership have I seen the “waiting to connect” screen. Usually right there with my GPS and favourite playlist…
(3 yr old Apple iPhone 15 playing with the CarPlay)

glad you’re otherwise enjoying it!

Not going to lie, i definitely like the cactus gray! It was my first choice for the Maverick 🤣. The issues with carplay i wouldn’t say its constant, more like once in a while. I want to bet is because the wife’s phone is also connected and its making sure i want to connect mine and not hers. Albeit i don’t really care most of time, since while its connecting im going try pushing all the buttons on the main dash (seats, last mode etc).

Congratulations. I also went from a Maverick to a Ranger and couldn't be happier with my decision. I had absolutely no issues with the Maverick but like you, the Ranger checks more of the boxes for me.
