    My ranger says it was built on 10/2024 and should not require an upgrade I purchased (egr style j hooks, ) that the upper part bolts to the cargo hold down loops) Watching this video I see my truck bed does not have the sheet metal elbow you cut out and painted. My bed is solid sheet metal on that bend, (the open spaces are solid sheet metal) so look stronger. As I do plan on installing a smart cap evo. I am going to install the egr j hooks anyway!!!!!!!! I will jack up my frame, and remove the rear tires, to make more elbow room. My dealership was clueless.

  • @drewarmstrong4325
    @drewarmstrong4325 3 дні тому

    I almost got a GFC but switched to LonePeak. The reasons I did were that 1... I wanted to be able to get out of the tent without bugging whomever I was sharing the bed with. Sometimes you gotta pee. 2, the fan option 3. easily integrated electronics and 4. this is going on a BIG full size pick up. The GFC only overhangs the cab of a full size sierra by about a foot. I like the overhang... I want the extra space. 5. front window that opens so as to allow you to pass stuff between the cab of the truck and the camper. My second choice is the Tune. LOVE the glass windows. But it is about twice as much. Cant justify that.

But I am adding egr j brackets that bolt to the bed tie down loops, it's a diffrent designed bracket then in this video. Instalation bolts are in different locations to this video. As his was a ford part. I am adding a smart cap evo, made of glass and stainless steel, and adding camping accessories so it will be top heavy. On the rails.

    How do you know that you dont miss the extras the Lariat offers if you dont have the Lariat or ever experienced them ? reading about them is not the same as experiencing them. I am not being a wise guy at all by this. I was the exact opposite. I test drove all three , the Raptor , The XLT , and the Lariat. For me , the Lariat offered the best of all three. The Raptor , in my opinion , is more geared towards the younger generation for the speed and looks. Practicality for the raptor however is hard to justify. With the extremely lower haul and tow rating. The XLT is a great package IF you dont need or want the extra luxuries the Lariat offers. Again , if you dont test drive all the packages , you cant truly experience them. It all boils down to the opinions of each and every one of us. My only advice is to test drive all three , if your price point allows for all three , then decide on what model you want to buy. Again , reading about the options is not the same as experiencing them. I did that and was sold on a XLT. I went to my dealer and test drove all three first. I then landed on the Lariat. Everyone has their own reasons. Mine was that i found i would be using some of the extras the Lariat offered. I very much enjoyed the feel and look of the leather seats over the cloth. The bigger screen was very noticeable to me. Not having a old school key was also nice after test driving. The shifter , from the XLT to the Lariat , was also nicer for me. Again , its all our individual opinions , there is no right or wrong.

    • @NARoutdoors
      @NARoutdoors 12 днів тому

      You've got a point! I think i touched on a bunch of this in one of my earlier videos. During my research phase for this i test drove 6 or 7 different rangers! (i didn't test drive the raptor because i knew it was not needed for me). I did a test drive of the XLT and Lariat back to back the same day twice (once alone and once with my wife). Some of what i'm not missing was present in my last car (PBS, leather seats) so i speak from that somewhat. One of the biggest turn offs for the Lariat for me was the leather seats; i felt like i slipped around in them too much, defiantly a preference thing tho.

    There is different settings for the lane assist but it will still bitch at you on the lowest setting. Ford needs to adjust this and I think they have in Australia. I have sold my last three cars to Carvanna, and got anywhere from $1,800 to $5,000 more than the dealers were offering. All three times went smoothly. Enjoy your Ranger, I am very happy with mine.

      @NARoutdoors if weight is a deal breaker then totally understandable but the reply is simply because there are 4 guys running the whole thing right now and they have blown up as of recent. I called and left a message to their sales guy Corey and he got back to me pretty fast... I just put my deposit down yesterday there is a lot of ingenuity in their products and great customer service, they recently made some updates and are going back to previous customer and giving them those upgrades for free. I'm loving the direction they are headed so that was a big part of my decision. Good luck making a pick!

    Since information on this seems to be scarce at best, how are people determining if their Ranger requires the extra braces? From what I've seen Ford Canada hasn't been issuing notices because the notice was sent out by Ford US, and apparently some people aren't being told unless they purchased a Ford branded cap or camper. Personally I'm pretty sure my 230lb ass is applying more than 88lbs of pressure if I sit in the wrong place.

    • @NARoutdoors
      @NARoutdoors 16 днів тому

      I don’t think shipping it would increase towing. It was definitely not a priority when I ordered the truck tho. For me I knew I wanted the locking dif (a stand alone option) as well as some underbody protection (after market options exist). Bonus for my kids were the running boards which may come off as they get older. It also includes some software tech in the center display as well as trail control (surprisingly nice for low speed gravel roads. It’s like using cruise control but at 5-10mph).

    I will say that the way Ford handled the issue with this part and the need for it was about as bad as I can imagine it could be. My dealership knew nothing about the shortcoming and the need for the j brace and they knew nothing about when it was fixed by the factory. I ordered J braces and through my own research and Ranger 6g forum I figured out I didn’t need them because of build date.

    Bought a XLT 2.7 with Tech and Advanced trailer. Really appreciate front camera when parking truck in my garage. It barely fits but it knows when I'm in enough and it brakes automatically when I get in the right spot.

      I really got the tech package for the cruise control but am sooo happy with the surround camera. I think there’s a good chance that future vehicles will end up with this on a short list of features.

      Yeah, youtube has YT music that you can use, so you don't have to worry about copyright strikes. Otherwise, you'd have to pay for a licensing service subscription thing.

    Can’t stand the ASS. With the way traffic is I need to go “now”. Hate that little delay. Also pull in the driveway the engine stops put it in park and it starts again. “Save the planet” what is the cost when you have to replace the starter?

      I wasn’t thrilled with the ridgeline infotainment. The engine is also very old in it but it is a good truck. I love my 2.7l and would recommend you at least test drive one but the 2.3 is also quite nice and plenty powerful for most people.
