I was a member here years ago when I had my 2007 Ranger. Now I am back and I have a 2022 Lariat in Velocity Blue. I ordered it directly and one of the features that was most desirable was the LED Headlights. Well, I happen to be one of those folks that Ford SCREWED over and my headlights were involuntarily downgraded to halogen. FMC refused to discuss it, answer any questions, offer any alternatives, etc. In not so many words they simply said "screw you, take it or leave it and we'll sell it to someone else." SInce I had already sold my truck and I was in need of another, I took that way. Have tried hundreds of times through Social Media with ZERO responses. Have tried multiple chat sessions with zero effort from FMC to assist in any kind of resolution. I even sent a hard copy letter to Customer Service and got the same "we're not doing a damn thing about it" type of response.
I'd like to know if anyone here has ordered and received a Lariat (or other trim level) after March 2022 that actually had the LEDs included on the truck that was delivered to you. Buying one on the lot may not count as the deletion didn't take affect until after some date in mid to late May on ordered trucks. I was really counting on the LEDs on my truck as I have a hard time seeing at night at my age. I will likely be forced to either buy the Ford LEDs at over $4000 (headlights and fog lights were deleted)or some aftermarlet version for a lesser amount. Either way, I'll have to also install myself or pay to have it done and one needs to pretty much remove the entire front end of the truck to do it.
Any information that anyone has related to headlights and/or fog lights on the 5th Generation Ranger is welcome here. Thanks everyone.
