This is a nice look at the Ranger Lariat. Ordered mine on 9/11/23. Scheduled for 3/4 until this week…now 3/11. Would love to see it in person!

Think I watched this 4 times today at work lol.

Hope they release a Tremor trim next year. IMO, only the Raptor and Tremor versions look good. The plain jane Ranger still looks outdated in a lot of ways. If anything, I love the designs on the new Colorado/Canyon (especially the Canyons which all come with factory lift and wider stance and in same price range).

Have never owned a truck before and was considering all of the midsize options. Initially thought I was going to get a Colorado trail boss but the “plain Jane” look is actually what I like most about the Ranger and what ultimately sold me on it. The Colorado caught my eye at first but I think the styling is over the top now and borderline cheesy. Remind me of a transformer and think it would get sick of it pretty quick, in my opinion it does not have a classic American truck look which is what I realized I was actually looking for and I think the new ranger accomplishes this in a modernized way.

I watch a Lariat FX4 one and alas it didn't have the required running boards on it.

It did not have the FX4 off road package.
Bed decal was Sport 4x4 not FX4 Off Road

I went to the auto show yesterday and saw this truck. Pretty sweet and the seats are very comfy.
They finally got rid of the u-joint on the differential and went with a CV-joint. Hopefully will prevent the takeoff shudder the 5th gen Ranger had.

Sat in both the Colorado and Canyon yesterday and not impressed with the interior. Outside yes but inside I would say GM is dated. Too many old radio style push button switches and seats are stiff compared to Ford.

Yes I know I watched a different one and it had the FX4 package with no running boards

If I were at an auto show with one of these, I'd do like you and take pictures that could answer questions folks might have. Nice to see a shot underneath.

That’s the same setup that the Tremors have. I’m assuming it’s still a two piece drive shaft?

I agree with you. The Colorado trail boss and the Canyons look corny to me. They’re not a big enough vehicle to have such a wide stance on them. They look silly imo, kind of like after market fender flares sticking way out on modified vehicles. Wide trucks like the F150 Raptor and TRX are big trucks, so their wide stance is proportionate.

Yes still two piece.

I believe someone said that lariat had auto start/stop button. I wonder if it's coming with or without.

I know mine says removed on the tracker but it still a little less than a month to be built so maybe they might/might not have the proper chips by then.
