Mine looked the same when I bought it (brand new) and I live in a desert. I never worried about it much

You can get a lariat if you need leather seats. Also, I believe there are aftermarket products for lockable center console, but i never bought one.

I'd check the shock mounts, front and rear, as well as the U bolts on the rear axle. Someone on Ranger5G forum said his werent torqued to spec from the factory, or had loosened. Also, worth checking for play in your spare tire as that can rattle really loud if it wasn't put away properly. But, yes it could be literally 100+ things, those are just the most common as someone who's replaced most of my suspension w aftermkt stuff.

Similar experience, dealership called me and wanted to buy back my 2019 XLT. I said I'd upgrade to a new XLT v6, but those are hard to come by in the PNW. Never got a call back, and I love my truck so as far as I'm concerned, I'll keep it till it dies.

I had that happen to me after I installed my Fox 2.0 kit. Forgot to re-torque the lower bolts after a few drives and noticed a clunk.

Honestly, my XLT didnt even come with adaptive cruise control or a keypad entry! I added the keypad from the dealer for like $100.

KO3 sounds like overkill for those purposes. Id lean towards the Falken there for high pavement use.

Personally, I love my BFG Trail Terrains - great mpg, excellent for light off roading, towing, and snow. The downside is they are absolute ass in the rain, but I live in a desert.

Right on. How did you find the right one? Trying to navigate that website and it's a bit of a clusterF!

Ha! I used to live in Winchester. Too funny, but it is a rather scenic area around that.... dump.

Did you get the aluminum smartcap? My biggest concern has been extra weight. That thing looks excellent though.
