Hi,
Recently, well weekend after Thanksgiving, bought my first truck. Needed something to start towing with and loved the new color of the Ranger for 2021, especially when paired with the Black Appearance Package. Only non-Ford thing I've done to it so far was the tonneau cover. Ford parts on it include splash guards, keyless security pad, sunshade and from Ford Performance the power pack tune.

Next planned addon's will be a 50-Watt GMRS radio, activating a feature or two from the FX4 package (Terrain Management and maybe Trail Control).

The Radio will be mounted behind the rear seat, antenna on the roof, remote faceplate under the climate controls, cutting the right accessory port out, may wire that into a wireless phone charger in the center console under the GMRS face plate. Plan to use the external speaker option of this radio to wire into the center dash speaker for clean OE looking install. I may route the antenna to a type N coupler mounted at the front of the tonneau cover so that I can remove or swap the antenna easily without routing new leads in/out of the cab.

My current parts list for the GMRS install:
  • Lariat dash speaker
  • speaker pigtail
  • Lariat dash speaker grill
  • dash trim that holds the accessory ports
  • KG-1000G
