I got pulled over the first Saturday night after getting mine for speeding. Luckily, the officer bought the "it's brand new and I'm not used to its feel yet" excuse--which was actually the truth since the Lariat is really quiet and it was in hybrid mood a lot--and only gave me a written warning. So yeah, be careful!The dealership experience was awesome. New Brighton Ford - I worked with Martin. He did a great job making this a special moment. I'll watch my speed![]()

What horrible advice.Best advise I can Give you is simply,
Open the hood once a week for the first three months,
Check the engine Oil,
NO ONE, I mean No One works on it but FORD !
Use the Ford Fluids,
Use the oil weight they say to use,
Look at the coolant and Immediately shut the hood !
I'm not kidding.
Don't go dicking around under the Hood !
Let Ford service it every 5,000 miles IF you plan to get a quarter million miles out of it.
Tell them to use Full Synthetic oil.
After three months do once a month. Tires, once a month.
Stick any doo dad you like on it or in it,
Don't mod the Power train, not even the exhaust.
Stay away from suspension mods, and don't stuff big fat tires under it.
Spend your winters driving it like a 25 year old Ranger Pick up, Gas on it !
Spend Spring Summer and Fall Amazing yourself with your new found
Hybrid driving technique and your absolutely Kick Ass MPG #'s
Ignore all you hear about speed and quarte mile times,
Don't try and race an Ecoboost or you'll get spanked.

Great color, that’s what I had on my 2019 Ranger.I’ve had too many of the grey, white, silver, black colors that make up the bulk of colors I see out there on ALL makes and models. I call them the conformity colors.
So I went off the reservation.

This color changes big time with different light. Pictures do not do it justice.
About two weeks since the last wash.
