2019 Ford Ranger
Clint here, from Knoxville TN. I’ve been a Ranger fan boy most of my adult life.
first Ranger was a 95 standard cab 5 speed. Traded it for a 99 3.0L Supercab. Traded that one for a 2001 Black 4.0L supercab 4-door. Traded that one in on a brand new 2004 Sonic Blue flareside in September of 2004.

I still have that truck and it currently has 234,000 miles on it and has been fantastic. I just purchased this 2019 STX FX4 new in late June.

I combed this site for a month before buying it. I learned so much and I thank you guys for that. I haven’t done a lot to it yet but I will get there. So far I’ve just tinted the windows, gotten a spray in bed liner, Did the “Raptor Lights”, Added the Engine Cover, added the OEM chrome exhaust tip, chrome grille, and chrome tow hooks.

Howdy everyone!

I'm new to the forums, and Ranger's in general. I'll be daily driving the truck here in Fort Collins, Colorado -- and getting into the mountains some with the family for camping / fishing and just doing all around Colorado things!

I'm a long time (now former) Tacoma owner - a good friend convinced me to test drive a 2020 Ranger... and then this happened:

So far (5 days in) I'm really enjoying the new ride! There's some things I absolutely love about the new truck (front parking assist and my tight fitting garage = happy! and can finally lose the tennis ball!). There's some things I'm "getting used to" (where'd all the buttons go???) but overall it's been great.

I'll be following all the mods people are discussing... and eventually building up the nerve to fix what isn't broken!

Hey there. I'm Jim (Jimbob to my friends) and I'm somewhere in the greater Midwest. You guys have some cool Rangers and I hope to learn something from y'all while I build up my truck. Great to be here and hope my Ranger can be worthy to show off someday :giggle:

Welcome Jimbob. There's a whole lot to learn around here but the only way your Ranger will truly be worthy here is if you add the required tailgate damper. It would help too to add as many lights all around your Ranger as that helps you stand out around here. :crackup: Oh, make sure you drive it a lot too so you can contribute in the "High mileage" thread.?

Just picked up a 2020 Lariat fx4. Debadged and paint corrected after dealer ran it through car wash. See how it does in Vermont winters.
Weclome! Great looking truck, looks nearly identical to mine when it was on the lot.

Thanks AZ. What's a tailgate diaper? Does the Ranger bed leak? What's considered high mileage around here? Thanks.

Tailgate diaper lol....now you started a whole new topic. High mileage, well we had one member who had over 30K in about 10 months. I still say he was homeless and lived in his Ranger but we'll never know. ?

Probably won’t really start doing anything to it until spring. Unless I put snow tires on the stock rims. Ill see how the oem tires do in snow and mud season.
