WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR FORD RANGER!

[@Lit-UP.]

LINKS ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION! Thanks for watching! I hope this video helped!

[@mschiffel1]

All of those improvements are spot on. I opted for the Diamondback bed cover. It's diamond plate aluminum, and it has two hinged hatches, one fore and the other aft. The rear hatch opens up and the tail gate goes down like a big mouth. What sold me on this cover is the fact that all my stuff will be locked in a bank vault like container. It's slash proof and weather proof. But it cost me $2500. Four bolts completely removes it for large cargo.

Wrangler differential skid plate. Westin winch tray. Firestone MT tires. Ditch lights with wireless control. Ford performance dual side exhaust. Ford performance tuner. Many compliments. Love it.

[@skeeterkerby]

Finally nice to see someone that has the same color as mine!

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@evenstargalaxy9586]

What colour is this? It’s nice.

[@runningdad98]

You have a really nice truck and thanks for the ideas I just bought a Ford Ranger xl I didn’t even know there was a tailgate assist for it so thanks again for the ideas.

[@sirdunk4449]

I suggest 2.5 level kit and black out fender lights. Makes hell of improvement. As well as window tint. Adds to the secondary black theme

[@butterknuckles2]

All good suggestions 👍. I also got a bug deflector for the hood, paint chips easily. The O.E. bed liner right from ford is $270, drops right in. I used my points towards that. I also recommend paint protection film on the bottom of the door sil's if you're a dog owner. My GSD scratched mine down to the primer the first time he jumped in 😬

[@evenstargalaxy9586]

Great video. What colour is your Ranger?

[@FelixLeeRocks]

I love the UP front plate! Michigan pride!

[@Lit-UP.]

Thank you 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@daghostxxx1797]

Bought new "take-off" wheel/tire package @ RPM Takeoffs in Wisconsin, these were new components for the price of tires !!! I got the highest optioned wheels and they look great, especially compared to the cheap/plain ones that came on it !

[@daghostxxx1797]

Hmmm, actually the same wheels on this truck - $700+

[@xWanpo]

You’re making me want to trade in my vehicle so bad!!!! And I just got it like a month ago...... LOL

[@Lit-UP.]

What you got?

[@mysteryuser9632]

you should blackout the side marker pretty cheap too

[@daghostxxx1797]

I had the gawdy-ass 4whl drive stickers removed, looks better...to me. Why would I have to advertise that I've got 4-whl drive, in bright letters ?

[@mrdonsmith]

Which model of the Ford Tonneau cover? Are you happy with it? When the tailgate is locked, does that prevent anyone from opening the tonneau?

[@Lit-UP.]

Truxedo soft roll up. I love it because it stick up about an inch or so giving more room in the bed compared to a cover that’s flush with the side of the bed/tailgate. And yes you can’t open the cover when the tailgate is locked. You open from inside the bed

[@mrdonsmith]

Thank you. That will be my next purchase.

[@LB-kk3kw]

Tailgate assist seems essential. Thanks

[@Lit-UP.]

No problem!

[@clckhere]

I have a White Ford Ranger T7. What would you recommend?

[@dawg7915]

Great suggestions.

[@Maverickbillion]

I have all of that the true question is how are you putting it to use ?

[@MaestroJericho]

I'd say for sure a 2" or more level/lift kit and AT tires. I put 32" tires on mine with a 2.5" leveling kit and some smaller spacers and it's a great look imo. I like the running boards, I don't really step on them but I I use em to kick dirt of whatever footwear I happen to wear at the time before stepping inside.

[@daveshereduh]

Can you drop a link for the seat cover. I looked at Amazon but can't find that one. I like that it has a zippered flap covering the fold down arm rest/beverage holder.

Nice. I have a 2020 fx2 ranger and looking for a way to improve the storage compartments under the back seat. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

[@nando6294]

I have the same one and it sucks because they only have the tiny little bins

[@bobbysmith9411]

Great mods, especially the Grill!!

[@Lit-UP.]

Thanks man! 🤘🏻

[@DominionSinist]

Truck and upgrades look great. Try to by things from places other than Amazon unless you want everyone else to go out of business. Amazon is nice and convenient but it’s also nice when Amazon has competition. We have enough monopolies... 😀

[@JackofAllTrades1]

Nice video, I really like the grill and the tailgate letters. How’s the seating position in this truck? More like a traditional large truck or van where your feet are more under you when you drive or is it more like a car where your feet are stretch out in front of you?

[@Lit-UP.]

Thanks! And I’d have to say right in the middle. Seats aren’t low like a car. And not to high like a truck. Which is perfect for a midsize truck I think.

[@JackofAllTrades1]

@@Lit-UP. awesome, I'm just waiting for the car market to settle down and I'll be grabbing one of these... oh and that grill and the tailgate stickers too! Lol

Hello I have a 2019 Ranger - I love the grill and was wondering are they hard to install and is there a video that walks you through the process ?

[@Lit-UP.]

The stock grill was a little bit of a pain to get out because of certain tabs. And the new grill was super easy to put in. And yes there is a video

[@abelp1990]

I was wondering how your ford tonneau cover was holding up. I was thinking about getting the same one with my FordPass rewards. Is it the soft roll up?

[@Lit-UP.]

Yes it’s the soft roll up. But it’s holding up great! I was planning on doing a year review on my Ranger. But I would recommend getting the cover for sure!

[@abelp1990]

The most beautiful midsize pick up truck of all time, minus the bad sides, no brand comes close when it comes to looks, especially here in asia, toyota is durable but looks hideous 😂😂😂

[@Lit-UP.]

I agree man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

Did you find the fit a little tight around the headlights when you installed the grill ?

[@Lit-UP.]

Not really. The install was easier than taking off the stock grill. But that could vary person to person though. As long as it fits lol

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

@@Lit-UP. thanks. When I installed mine it seemed to fit a little tighter than stock.

[@FlyLopez1991]

do you use regular gas on it? or you use 91 prenium?

[@Lit-UP.]

Just regular 🤘🏻

[@daghostxxx1797]

It sucks fuel, I can't afford to put '91 octane in it @ 17mpg !

[@nando6294]

Great question. I pump regular as well because that’s what the owner’s manual suggests so I listened to the engineers at Ford as everyone should! 🤘🏼

[@revilsdr]

The raptor grill with lights is great changes the look of the front end. I ordered the DeeZee tailgate assist It was nice while it worked but in about a month the darn thing started making squeaking noises when you lowered the tailgate ended up taking it off. I like the gatorFx tonneau cover. Ordered my runningboards off eBay for about $150 and put them on myself in about 30 mins.

[@victorgirouard1543]

I run a 5 star tune on my 2019 ranger and I run a 93 octane tune and it makes it a rocket ship 0 to 60 in just over 5 seconds instead of 7 seconds stock!!

[@frandanco6289]

The tailgate shock is no longer available on Amazon... Sad.. The words are "running boards"..

[@chrism7067]

Aside from the grill and runners we have the same type of modifications. My cover is flush to my bed though so it looks really clean. I just really dislike the look of the covers that are like an inch over the bed.

[@greenboy5444]

Good Job sir 💯💪🏿

[@Tayman-1771]

I don’t get why you need tailgate assist lifters it’s expensive and if it was a package it would cost at least 500 bucks and the other thing too it’s another thing that breaks and the tailgate isn’t heavy it’s super duper light it surprised me when I first used it but save yourself the money and put it towards a lowering kit or new weather tech floor mats

[@classic287]

Beautiful truck. I'd love to have one. Do you think it's a good truck? Do you think it will last a long time? I hope it serves you will and trouble free. 👍

[@Lit-UP.]

It’s my perfect dream truck. And I imagine it will last a very very long time. Especially with that 10 speed 4 cylinder

[@classic287]

@@Lit-UP.,. Be careful. Turbo puts a lot of strain on a small engine. Use Royal Purple or Castrol Edge oil

[@cowpuddles4851]

I have a 2020 Ranger and would not recommend. Slow around corners (almost stalling) and I need to replace the blend door actuator at $2400 (it’s literally a $30 part). Stock tires wore slick by 32,000 miles. All around a poor product.

[@nathanscruggs9777]

[@JasonLeaman]

Thank you sir ! Good video !

[@gusthomas]

It doesn't bother me that the tailgate has no assist. It's aluminum. I can lower it with two fingers. It would be nice, but not a big deal to me. I do wish they had included push button start on the XLT though Also, I think that on the FX4 Ford should have put actual frame mounted slider steps on instead of body mounted steps that will do no good off road. But there are always things that could be better about a vehicle.

[@Lit-UP.]

Absolutely. There’s always improvements that could be done. These ones I talked about are just simple pretty cheap improvements for looks or even the convenience. Thanks for the comment! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@gusthomas]

@@Lit-UP. Not a cheap mod, but adding the Fox 2.0 level lift, 17" Dyno Gray Raptor wheels and 265/70 BFG KO2s drastically improved the look of my Ranger.
