New truck wish list of accessories

[RangerWilly]

Not sure the cargo management system can be installed with swingout boxes. Might be 1 or the other. Enjoy your truck! I have exact same build..

Grill

Grill lights took 15-20 minutes max. Easy instructions.

What kind / where did you get those grille lights?

Hi all,

I have mentioned elsewhere that yesterday I brought home my new Cactus Gray 2024 Ranger. Ford was offering a $3k discount and the dealer offered an additional $2.5k. And they threw in a set of floor mats. All-in-all pretty close to wholesale. The truck has the 2.7L engine, FX4, advanced trailer towing package and running boards. I love it, and so does the family.

Now, what comes next. Here is the list I have compiled:

Must have minor items:

• Door sill protector
• Tailgate letters
• I-piece lug nuts
• Trailer hitch plug cover
• Center console cover
• Center console organizer

Must have major items:

• Tonneau cover
• Bed mat and/or bed liner
• Mud flaps

Might want minor items:

• Hood protector
• Screen protector

Might want minor items:

• Cargo Management System
• Swing-out toolboxes

Am I missing anything important? Any suggestions a

nd any advice for which products to buy or avoid would be very much appreciated...

I did spray in liner ($500) on both my 2022 Lariat FX4 (sold) and my 2025 Raptor. In the 2022 I also used a WetherTech Bedmat in the 2022. In the Raptor I installed a BedRug (love it BTW!). The 2022 got WeatherTech mats and mudflaps also. The Raptor came with rubber floormats and nice mudflaps already installed. Both had color matched high rise toppers installed. The 2022 got the ARE (HIGHLY recommend) while the Raptor has the LEER topper on it (not nearly as nice as the ARE). Both toppers had headliners and LED lighting installed in them. The 2022 had Saddleblanket style seat covers and console cover. It also had a console organizer. The Raptor came with the organizer installed. The day the 2022 arrived, I installed the Tremor (Fox 2.0) suspension in it as the SCAB was not equipped that way from Ford. I ordered mine with the LED headlights because I have nyctalopia and Ford deleted them from my build without so much as a conversation citing "supply chain issues." They only credited $500 for them and they cost over $4000 to get them from Ford and installed. (I purchased my own OEM Ford LEDs online and had them installed later). I want to add in a console vault in my Raptor (CCW). May consider the one under the back seat though. I would like the screen protector for mine. Would also like a bug / rock deflector for front. Possibly some nice seat covers. A dash mat. Additional lighting, especially in back for backing it into the garage at night.

I have the original FX4 suspension components and the Halogen headlight assemblies available if anyone would like to discuss purchase.

The bed mat from lasfit is awesome.

Folding rear seat headrests give you better vision out the back window.
Hood struts are nice. It was the first mod I did. Can't believe at this price point Ford doesn't include them in the US market.
Auto start/stop eliminator cable.

Don't have the exact one but these ones are close.

You'll want to get that tail gate sealed up tight as a drum to protect all those tub goodies from the dust and water...

Window Tint was very high on my list.

Window tint was high on my list but I have found it is not really necessary. All my past vehicles have had and needed tint but the Ranger doesn't need tint to drive in sunny climates like Texas.

I would think of any place that it’s needed would be Texas. Ceramic tint to keep the heat down.

Honestly I was surprised. My Escape is like a fish bowl. Sun is brutal even with tint, same for our 4Runner but the Ranger is pleasant to drive in full sun. I think it has to do with the angle of the windshield and side windows.

I did the Weathertech sill protectors. I liked how much more they covered, as my dog likes to stand on the sill before i help her get in. She put a small dent in that area before I could even get them on already.

I also did the Goodyear in channel window deflectors, I like the, but the tape on the rear ones failed and i had to redo them.

I have the EGR raised hood deflector so its not stuck to the hood, it can be replaced if it fades or gets broken easily this way. Super simple to put on as well.
