It is pretty expensive. The OEM radio works great. The main selling point in my opinion is that it looks better and has a multitude of options (more cameras, watch videos, etc.). I personally do not like the body style of the new Rangers. However, I do love their infotainment setup. If you're someone who plans on keeping their Ranger for awhile like me, I think it's worth it.

@@OverlandingCactusI feel the same way as you do!

Thank you!

I am not sure. I'd guess you would be okay, but no promises!

Man your setup is so sick! Do you have a video explaining your drawer system? Looks like you affix it all to plywood in the bed; how do you have that secured? Appreciate your channel!

I actually do. This was my old bed rack set up without a cover. Since this video, I've made a new set up that I have not seen yet on YT. It's the rhino bed rack with Elevate rails and a locking Gator roll-up cover. I will be doing a video on it soon so everyone can see. It's a good budget option, especially if you already have the roll-up cover.

@@NowForWrathGaming Thank you! I really appreciate that. When I make the video mentioned in the other comment, I will go over my bed. Yes, I have plywood down but it is not fixed to the bed (it's very heavy so it ain't going anywhere). Hoped this helped! I'll be posting the bed rack system video in about a week or two.

@@OverlandingCactus You've inspired me to try using a sheet of plywood, spray-painted black, and drill in some heavy duty eye-holes for tie downs. My gear is all in rugged storage containers (maybe drawers someday!) and I need it to be removable with relative ease. Looking forward to when you post that video, and thanks for the reply!

Your plywood solution is the smartest, most economical solution I've seen on here. It's so good!

Thank you!

Hey thank you so much that means a lot. The Ranger is an awesome truck for a build. Good luck with your truck!

Thank you! I'm in NEO. Where are the trails in Vinton?

Compared to other vehicles I've driven with wireless car play, it's much better. I don't think it'll ever be just as fast as wired car play though.

You'll love it. Trails like these make me wish I lived out west.

I stated that it was the 6th Gen in the description. Also, the link to the product takes you to the 6th Gen listing on the website.

I've been loving it. Still going strong!

Sweet! Glad to have you

2.3L 4 Cylinder w/ turbo!

It actually wasn’t on there when I got the truck. They had the antenna in the glove box. The antenna block is still up there.

@@OverlandingCactus ohh maybe it just screws off 🤔

The section that was uphill was stressful. It was much more intimidating in person, plus our turbo hose came undone during that portion. Loved that trail! Definitely will go back

@@OverlandingCactus I was reading a trail book about that pass, there's supposed to be like a dozen water crossings, any issues with your Ranger making it through?

@@LawnMM Not at all. Most of them were very shallow. There was only one that I would consider "deep". In all reality, it wasn't deep at all. I did go in October, so I'm not sure if the water levels were lower than normal.

Greetings! This is the 2021 Ford Ranger XLT. I believe we have different models/trims when comparing US to Australian market

​@OverlandingCactus do you know if this will work on Australia rangers?

@@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear I am not sure but I would assume not. I will ask the manufacturer and get back to you!

@@OverlandingCactus yes please do.

Yes it most definitely is! I tried to go in with as much detail as possible so people could make an educated decision before dropping that much money.

@OverlandingCactus too bad it's not right hand wheel.

There are many like it, but this one is mine 🫡😂

I have used the cellular hotspot, works great. I believe it has Sirius XM, but I don’t use that service.

Yes you can! If you don’t want to use Apple car play or android auto, it has its own Bluetooth system. The kit comes with a microphone that I discussed later in the video. Hope this helped!

Thank you! The kit comes with HDMI cables that connect to the screen. I believe it would be possible but I’m not positive. An undercarriage camera would be awesome.

You can add cameras. The radio will come with a front, rear and 1 side input. We also have an optional multi cam interface. we demo under carriage cameras on our Jeep in this video ruclips.net/video/gTtj7bMM1nc/видео.htmlsi=Lj91o0nxTZiZ7Va_

I’ve been looking at purchasing a system like this for my Ranger. This might be it.

Sync is not retained with this system. There are ambient settings. The back up camera does work. It should be showcased later in the video. Let me know if you have any other questions. I definitely recommend it!

Thank you!

I replied with the solution to one of your other comments.

Hello! I had the same issue. This is how you fix it. Go to settings - Click Car Model/AC - Press Ford, F150 HI, other - Then Press “Protocol” and select “Changyuantong with Xinpu”. The system will then reboot. This should make the climate controls work. I talk about this in the video at 13:00. Let me know if this helped!

@@OverlandingCactus ok sir I try it now think I did but I try again .

Sir when you fix air conditioning plus then fans start automatically or not ? Beautiful my Star automatically which is indicated that wires of China is different

No sir nothing help 😭

@@user-fy5qc7gc3s My fan automatically turns on when the truck turns on. If the A/C is on, I just press if off.

They do have radios for Rams. Check their website to be sure. I’m seeing that they have them for 2019+ models.

Yes they do! They just charge your device now since CarPlay and Android Auto is wireless with the new system.

There is a link in the description! The discount code is “Cactus”. It will give you 10% off! You will need trim removal tools (cheap on Amazon) and a socket wrench kit. I believe the socket required is between 8-10mm. Hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you! And no, you don’t need to remove the headliner completely. You need to only remove the headliner around the A Pillar where the airbags are. There are bolts in there that you have to unscrew to release the weatherstripping on the roof. The headliner should snap right back into place when you’re done. There are some good videos out there explaining the install. Just make sure to turn your battery when you work around the airbags. Hoped this helped!

Thank you!@@OverlandingCactus

@@matthewlockhart3226 anytime!

🙌🏻🙌🏻

Well I hope this review gave you some good information! I love this radio. Definitely makes me feel like I'm in a "newer" or "better" trim model, even though this truck is only a 2021. If you decide to get it, use that coupon code ! Thanks for the support!

Thank you! I agree on that. This radio really made my Ranger feel up-to-date compared to the new generation. Really enjoying it 👍

Lol no. The 24 is still way better.

@@user-ue2ut8sw5s I don’t have any experience with the new generation Ranger radio but I assume it works great. This is a great fix for someone who has the previous generation and wants new technology.

Yes, eventually. Figuring out which option to go with.

Thank you! I didn't think my videos would be watched from someone so far away. Glad you enjoyed. Take care !

@@OverlandingCactus Well, hey from Czech Republic :) Thinking about buying Ranger and overlanding/camping with my family (2 small boys) 🫡 Cheers.

@@peetafunkadelic Hello! I love the Ranger and would recommend purchasing one. I think it's a great fit for overlanding, camping and other day-to-day activities. Be safe!

Nice eye. I'm around the Akron/Cleveland Area

To each their own. Prinsu roof racks are powder coated aluminum. I think they look great. I'm sure there are people who can have someone weld them up one, but for most people it's easier to get a kit and install it themselves.

I think it looks good

Thank you! No spacers, just the new wheels.

Thank you! I am very grateful to have it. I hope it lasts a very long time.

Here you go! shop.redline360.com/products/spec-d-projector-headlights-ford-ranger-2019-2021-sequential-led-black-tinted-clear?currency=USD&variant=39656220622928&Google%20Shopping&stkn=891961585efe&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2eKtBhDcARIsAEGTG40TEkGtY8kFZmPVb8_iUhezGQq_8148X8OZt5paTwmwFOc29PTvwoMaApGBEALw_wcB Looks like they are on sale! The light projection isn't great though.

I believe it is this one www.amazon.com/Replacement-2015-2020-2017-2022-2017-2021-Ventilation/dp/B09VXLPY31?th=1 I bought it from Real Truck but I can't find it on their website for some reason. The amazon version looks the same and priced the same!

The projector low-beams aren't good at lighting up the road, even with LED bulbs. Factory lights are better. I might try to tinker with the bulbs to see if I can fix it at some point. I also like the look of the LED strip, especially when the turn signal is on. Unfortunately, there aren't many aftermarket options for Ranger headlights. Hope this helped and thank you for the comment!

They're awesome trucks!

Thank you! As much as I hate to turn around, sometimes it is the smart thing to do. Especially since we were solo.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll do a separate video on it soon.

Thank you! I want to get a winch and lockers eventually. So far we've been okay without them on fairly difficult trails. I hope your project goes well. Good luck!

This was our first time using the RTT. It comes with a mattress pad, but we also used a sleeping bag inside. It's decently comfortable. We used air mattresses when we ground camped. I will be getting a better set-up in the Spring and will add camp lights around the truck. We currently just use an LED lantern and headlamp. Having auxiliary power is very convenient. I don't know much about an inverter system, but I have seen videos about them and am interested. I'll post the install video within a few weeks. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! And yes, it's amazing. One of our favorite states to visit.

Thank you! Glad you guys were able to go out and experience it. I bet it was beautiful with the fall leaves
