Anyone have an idea about whether there be 2024 Rangers at the Texas State Fair in Dallas? It starts this weekend and they usually have a lot of trucks there. I plan on going Monday to check and get some pics if there is.

I'm thinking of doing the same Monday too if I can get off work early enough. On the website, they list the F150 Raptor and the Ford Ranger. I couldn't tell which trim on the Ranger in the pic. Hoping for a Lariat, but at any rate, it seems as if there will be a Ranger there. I would think it'd have to be a 2024 model too, but it's not clear.

They had this Ranger Raptor and a Azure Grey Lariat at the fair now. My wife noticed not having rear air vents. Also no alcantera on the dash. It doesn't look too big in person.

Quite disappointing that US spec loses rear air vents and the cup holders on the dash when we’re paying same price for the vehicle as the overseas specs. You’d think paying almost $60k would warrant two seemingly easy vents in the back seat no?

Agreed. Seems like a dumb removal. In Texas this could be an issue for back seat passengers.

At the fair were you able to sit inside, or are they just available to see from exterior? Trying to decide if it's worth a drive down there....

If one of you goes out there and gets to check out the inside, can you check for the Lane Centering option in the center screen so we can settle a debate in another thread?

It was open. You could sit in it but the battery was disconnected so nothing worked on the inside and the tailgate couldn't be lowered. You can also drive the Colorado ZR2 for comparison at the Chevy tent. My wife didn't like it because of the hood was very high. The Silverado Bison was the same way with the plastic bumps on the hood. The camera rear view mirror was pretty cool. The 2024 F150's were there also but were locked.

Definitely odd omissions. You'd think they would not be worried about saving a few extra dollars cost on a 60K top end model.

I was at the fair on Monday and was able to sit in the 24 Ranger. It has to be the roomiest midsize out there, with the GM twins a close second.

I sat in the 24 Tacoma also and it was really tight.

I'm guessing the rear A/C vent is under the front seat on the floor like the Broncos. I'll check if I get to go to the fair.

Were you able to get eyes on this?
