2024 Ford Ranger Lariat Price, Release Date, Specs

2024 Ford Ranger Lariat Price, Release Date, Specs – For the 2024 model year, Ford completely revamped the Ranger, a midsize pickup truck that shares many characteristics with the F-150. For some international markets, Ford offers the Ranger with a turbodiesel V-6 engine; however, the American version has and will continue to have a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. This year, a more…

2021 Ford Ranger Comprehensive Review

Ford is well aware that its flagship Ranger offerings are priced out of the reach of many bakkie fans. The XL Sport version was built to offer most of the workhorse- and lifestyle bakkie experience, but at a more affordable price. We examine "how much bakkie" you get for your money if you go the close-to-bottom-spec route.

Engine: 2.2-litre turbodiesel 4-cylinder

Power/Torque: 118 kW/385 Nm 

Transmission: 6-speed automatic

Fuel consumption: 8.2 L/100 km (claimed) 

While many bakkie enthusiasts dream of owning a Ranger Wildtrak or -Raptor, the reality is that the asking prices of those flagship bakkies have reached astronomical heights. This is not a purely Ford problem as top-spec offerings from Volkswagen and Toyota have both skyrocketed, with the former being oh-so-close to the R1-million mark. Double-cab bakkies aren't only luxurious indulgences for South African consumers, however. Granted there's been a shift towards lifestyle use, but the core roles of business and utility remain. The price band for the Ford Ranger for sale is enormous, so the lower end of the scale is dominated by industrial-spec workhorses, but what if we told you that mixing business with pleasure was not just a cliche?

Ford recently introduced a Sport pack for its XL-grade Ranger derivative. This is not a vehicle we'd usually get for testing as it is primarily a workhorse, but the addition of the Sport pack brings a lifestyle edge that notably broadens the bakkie's appeal. The XL Sport treatment incorporates a gloss-black grille, with a matching sports bar, rear bumper and 17-inch alloy wheels, plus the test unit was fitted with the excellent Ford SYNC3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. This modern unit replaces the rather basic system that comes out of the factory.

The package is a proper back-to-basics offering, but it doesn't feel bareboned. There's no modern Ford biturbo 2.0-litre diesel engine here, with the Blue Oval sticking with the tried-and-tested older-gen 2.2-litre 4-pot turbodiesel unit. Is this mutton dressed as lamb, or has Ford managed to make a compelling value-for-money product? Let's take a look.

Performance and ride/handling

Ford's new-generation powertrains are fantastic; the 2.0-litre engines offer a great blend of power and economy, and the 10-speed transmission intuitively selects the appropriate ratios at the right time. The Ranger XL Sport is different – it uses an older-spec motor and a 6-speed automatic 'box. The 2.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel offers up to 118 kW and 385 Nm, which are sufficient outputs for day-to-day use. It's not the most eager of powertrains when you need maximum acceleration, but you never feel there's a shortage of grunts when overtaking on a national highway. The transmission may not be the fastest-shifting 'box in the business, but you have to remind yourself this is a blue-collared working-class hero. A manual gearbox is also available, but most of our readers are unlikely to go the 3-pedal route. 

When it came to fuel economy, we were hoping to see returns of under 10 L/100 km, but excessive inner-city urban driving with traffic saw the consumption figure climb up. By the time the vehicle went back to Ford, the trip computer read 10.8 L/100 km, which was not ideal, but not unexpected. Add a few open-road trips into the mix and we reckon the Ranger XL Sport would dip under 10 L/100 km.

Despite its dapper cosmetic accoutrements, is the Ranger still a capable off-roader? We put this to the test on the vehicle's launch (late in 2020) when the Ford traversed with the kind of obstacles most Ranger owners are unlikely to encounter. The bakkie performed admirably; we even waded through a river to test out the claimed 800-mm water clearance. The 4×4 operation is simple: you toggle between 2 High, 4 High and 4 Low with a rotary dial (4L, of course, still requires you to come to a complete stop and engage neutral. The tyres (265/65 R17 Goodyear Wranglers) helped extensively on the launch, but interestingly, our test unit came with 17-inch alloys wrapped in chunky 265/65 Continental Cross Contact off-road rubber. While we didn't test those, they certainly looked the part.

With such extensive off-road experience under our belt, we conducted more of a "real-world test" of the Ranger in and around Cape Town. Usually, specialised off-road tyres produce unpleasant levels of road noise on asphalt surfaces, but we're happy to report the Ford Ranger XL Sport didn't seem to generate any more tyre rumble than a double-cab bakkie shod with standard tyres. On longer trips, when travelling at higher-than-average speeds, the rubber did make its presence known, but the hum was drowned out by some of our favourite road-trip tunes played through Spotify and Android Auto. 

As far as ride quality is concerned, the Ranger is a body-on-frame double-cab bakkie, remember, so when unladen, the rear end can jiggle about, but that's to be expected. In case you don't know, when there's no weight on their leaf-sprung rear axles, bakkies can bounce, jiggle and shimmy at higher speeds. While it'd be impossible to eliminate this characteristic entirely, the latest Rangers in XLT and Wildtrak guise have received some tweaks to the suspension to dial this out with mixed success. The Ranger XL Sport has none of this and it feels old-school, but at this price point, we can't complain.

Exterior and Design

The Ranger XL is, arguably, as basic as it gets when it comes to exterior execution, but the Sport pack adds some notable visual updates that ramp up Ford's road presence/kerb appeal. We've already mentioned the off-road-specific tyres, which are really great from a visual point of view, but their chunky sidewalls are also likely to withstand some serious pothole impacts. 

The 17-inch Panther black alloy rims also give the vehicle a lifestyle edge compared with the standard bakkie's stock wheels. There's a big black gloss grille too and we'll bet that'd be an imposing sight in other motorists' rear-view mirrors! A black rear bumper has been fitted, as well as a tubular sports bar. Customers can also opt for black side steps for R5 000. There's a nice sport badge on the rear too.

Interior and features

Given its workhorse origins, it would be rather unfair to expect the XL Sport to have a luxury level of interior spec, but just about everything you'd need in terms of mod cons is present and correct. There is a simple unfussiness to the cabin layout, but some may be put off by the extensive use of cheap-looking and cheap-feeling plastics. This is the bottom-spec Ranger, however, so you can't be too demanding. 

We understand this is a basic offering, but the lack of rear parking sensors in something as large as a double-cab bakkie may cause many stressful parking situations. Thankfully, this is available as an extra-cost option. In terms of the requisite features, there's air conditioning, fabric seats, front/rear electric windows, remote central locking, aux/USB connectivity, as well as daytime running lights. The arguably class-leading 8-inch infotainment system was fitted to this vehicle and for R6k, we'd heartily recommend going this route as it adds hands-free telephony, music streaming and navigation into the mix.

You cannot even begin to compare the standard infotainment unit to the SYNC3-equipped system, they're light-years apart. Given its hands-free operation, which is safer to operate, we're in full support of it. Voice command is supported and works well. Saying, 'Hey Google, navigate home' will activate Google Maps and navigation. Other instructions, like asking for music from your favourite band on streaming services, work well and the system will even read out WhatsApp messages and allow you to reply, all without your hands leaving the 'wheel. 

Service and Warranty

The Ford Ranger is sold with a 4-year/120 000 km warranty, 6-year/90 000 km service plan, 5-year/unlimited km corrosion warranty, and 3-year/unlimited km roadside assistance. 

Verdict

Given the difficult financial climate, we applaud Ford for offering prospective buyers a cost-effective way to upgrade the versatile Ranger XL. Despite its basic underpinnings, there's something refreshing about an honest and uncomplicated vehicle that is fit for purpose. The Sport pack gives the bakkie a welcome image boost, but our favourite part of this kit has to be the wheels. Not only do they look the part, but those thick-walled off-road tyres should soak up the horrendous swathe of potholes littered on our roads. Price-wise, the XL Sport significantly undercuts its flashier XLT and Wildtrak siblings and while more expensive Rangers offer newer powertrains, more refinement and extra creature comforts, the XL Sport offers 75% of that experience at a pocket-friendlier price. That's a win in our books.

You could always look to the demo and pre-owned market too, where significant savings are to be had. The recently revised Toyota Hilux Raider and all-new GWM P-Series are the Ranger XL Sport's key rivals. The former offers legendary reliability and the after-sales backing of a 3-time #CarsAwards Brand of the Year winner, while the GWM is keenly priced and well specified, but still an unknown quantity on the local market. Suffice it to say, it's a huge credit to the Blue Oval that the Ranger remains a frontrunner given that the current generation of the bakkie has been on our market for almost a decade.

Time For The Bronco To Cool Things Down

The car with an iconic name and reputation – the legendary Bronco. Ford outdid themselves with the revamp of this piece of American car culture. Every Bronco lover was over the moon about the capabilities and craftsmanship that this Bronco showed in 2021.

Ford did not stop there. They continued the trend of reworking older models by releasing the latest and greatest Ranger. One of the most sturdy and dependable trucks from the Ford Company. 

Both trucks have been tossed around the off-road aftermarket world. With creative minds from every inch of the world wanting to get their hands on a truck like this to exceed any demand it might be put through. Especially the Ranger Raptor! However, quickly the community found the one hiccup in the engineering of these great trucks… an efficient cooling system. 

Here in AZ – we know heat. And every car owner – knows that heat is a huge problem, especially for off-road rigs. Overheating can often lead to slowing you down on trails and heat soak. 

CSF has worked in detail to create the best and most efficient cooling system for the Bronco and Ranger. These new radiators are engineered to be driven in extreme driving conditions for both on and off-road cars!

This new cooling system is perfect for rigs that put an extreme strain on their traditional factory system. Overlanders, campers, off-roaders, and trail riders add a lot of weight and drag to their rigs. Heavy added weight like roof-mounted tents, hauling campers, extra spare tires, and extra fuel; all means that the engine is going to be working extra hard. That means a good cooling system allows your engine to have a break and recover from overheating or heat soak. 

Key Features: 

5mm fin cooling technology 

Increases the heat transfer area over a traditional radiator 

42mm Aluminum core increases the core volume of the radiator 

Dissipates heat and increases overall fluid capacity 

15% over regular oval welded tubes 

Maximum airflow 

Cooling tubes 

CNC-machined mounting brackets 

Satin finish 

Plug – and – Play installation 

2-year warranty 

Fitments: 

2021+ Ford Bronco (2.3L &2.7L EcoBoost)

2024+ Ford Ranger (2.3L &2.7L EcoBoost)

2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor (3.0L EcoBoost)

Rechter behoeft meer tijd voor vonnis in zaak 'Verkoolde Lijken'

De rechter heeft in de geruchtmakende zaak van de ‘Drie Verkoolde Lijken’ aangegeven meer tijd nodig te hebben om het vonnis te formuleren. De openbare aanklager heeft in juli vorig jaar straffen van 45 jaar geëist voor Yorinde W., en 20 jaar voor Elden S. en Roël G. Het vonnis staat nu voor midden juli gepland. Rechter Maureen Dayala, benadrukte op een zitting vorige week de complexiteit van de zaak als reden voor de verlenging van de tijd voor het vonnis, dat nu medio juli wordt verwacht. Ze vroeg om begrip van de verdachten en hun raadslieden. De drie slachtoffers waar het in deze zaak om gaat, zijn: Rohitas Sital (39), Cedric Tertullien (27) en Shawn Stolk (24). Yorinde W. wordt beschuldigd van een cruciale rol in deze zaak, terwijl haar voortvluchtige broer, Marvin W., als het brein achter de ontvoeringen en moorden wordt gezien. Marvin W. had Yorinde om hulp gevraagd nadat hij onder druk werd gezet door invloedrijke Marokkaanse drugsbazen wegens een verloren partijdrugs. Volgens Marvin W. was Sital verantwoordelijk voor de verdwijning van de drugs. Yorinde heeft blijkens het politioneel onderzoek zowel met advies als met daden bijgedragen aan het plan om Sital en zijn vrienden te ontvoeren en te vermoorden. Zij was namelijk degene die de gangen van Sital kende en dus wist waar hij te vinden was. De ontvoering vond plaats op 17 juli 2021, en de lijken werden de volgende ochtend ontdekt. Ondertussen had Marvin W. de andere verdachten Elden S. en zijn oom Roel G. ingeschakeld. Na de gijzeling werd Sital afgevoerd naar een appartement aan de Edmundstraat die door Yorinde was gehuurd. Ze was ook ter plekke toen Sital en de andere mannen werden mishandeld, beschoten, afgevoerd en met de auto in brand gestoken. Een DNA-onderzoek, uitgevoerd op een sigaretpeuk in de laadbak van de uitgebrande Ford Ranger, heeft een verband gelegd met de verdachte Elden S. Deze heeft zich tijdens het onderzoek erop beroepen dat hij slechts een taxirit heeft gereden op verzoek van zijn oom Roël G. Maar volgens het OM heeft hij een wezenlijke rol gehad in het geheel. Niet alleen zijn sigarettenpeuk bij de verkoolde lijken, maar ook zijn verschijning (althans van zijn voertuig) in veilig gestelde videobeelden spreken boekdelen. Daarnaast heeft Yorinde belastende verklaringen tegen hem afgelegd die volgens de vervolging aansluiten op andere onderzoeksresultaten. Hij zou volgens het OM zelfs in de kamer van het appartement zijn toen de mannen werden mishandeld en uitgehoord over de verdwenen drugs. Bij die gelegenheid heeft hij een rol plakband gehaald uit een van de auto's, teruggebracht en aangereikt zodat de slachtoffers daarmee konden worden gekneveld. Uit beelden van een veiligheidscamera valt op te maken dat Sital, bijgestaan door een van de andere slachtoffers, vier dagen voordat ze werden vermoord, een zwarte zak met inhoud heeft begraven op zijn erf. De politie vond bij een opgraving op het adres een grote hoeveelheid munitie, vuurwapens, een politie jas, verpakkingsmateriaal voor drugs, € 70.000 en USD 22.000. Read the full article

Frazier — “George Santos moment for Texas,”

State Rep. Frederick Frazier, the McKinney Republican who was once a Dallas cop, has officially had his charges for impersonating a public servant dropped.

He was indicted for impersonating a code employee and approaching businesses to remove signs belonging to his opponent, but a plea agreement led to the dismissal.

Internal Affairs investigators say the Dallas police officer’s campaign sign crimes were caught on surveillance video and violate the department’s code of conduct.

On December 10, 2021, Senior Corporal Frederick Frazier was observed on video surveillance camera arriving at the 7Eleven convenience store in a silver Ford F-150. Senior Corporal Frazier exited the vehicle, cut the zip ties of a political sign, and threw the sign to the ground. Senior Corporal Frazier re-enters the vehicle and leaves the location. After determining Senior Corporal Frazier was a Texas State Representative District 61 candidate and a former McKinney City Councilman, the investigation was turned over to the Texas Rangers for potential criminal violations.

PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 1 CAUSE NO. _

FREDERICK FRAZIER Plaintiff, v. PAUL CHABOT Defendant. § § § § § § § § § § IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS JUDICIAL DISTRICT PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Plaintiff FREDERICK FRAZIER (“Plaintiff” or “Mr. Frazier”), and files this, his Original Petition against Defendant PAUL CHABOT (“Defendant” or “Mr. Chabot”) and would respectfully show unto the Court as follows:

I. DISCOVERY CONTROL PLAN 1.

Pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 190.4, Plaintiff gives notice that discovery is to be conducted under Level 2. II.

PARTIES 2.

Plaintiff Frederick Frazier is an individual resident of the State of Texas. Mr. Frazier may be served through undersigned counsel.

3. Defendant Paul Chabot is an individual resident of the state of Texas.

Defendant may be served with process at 7200 West University Drive, McKinney, Texas 75071-6652, or wherever he may be found.

III.

RULE 47 STATEMENT 4.

Under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 47, Plaintiff states that it seeks monetary relief over $250,000.00 but not more than $1,000,000.00.

PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION

PAGE 2

IV. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 5.

The amount in controversy is within the jurisdictional limits of this Court.

The Court has personal jurisdiction over all parties because all parties are Texas citizens, and/or have conducted acts and/or omissions in Texas that serve as the basis of this lawsuit.

6. Pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 15.017, venue is proper in Collin County, Texas because Defendant is a resident of Collin County.

V. FACTUAL BACKGROUND

7.

Defendant Paul Chabot has perpetuated a systematic and public campaign of defamation against Plaintiff Frederick Frazier, a distinguished retired Dallas Police Officer and a current member of the Texas Legislature representing Collin County, Texas.

Defendant’s sweeping and relentless defamatory crusade against Mr. Frazier encompasses a series of false and injurious statements distributed across various platforms, including social media, public forums, the website www.firefrazier.com, and video content.

8. Defendant Chabot’s obsessive vendetta against Mr. Frazier began during the 2022 campaign season, during which Defendant ran to represent the 61st District in the Texas House of Representatives but lost to Mr. Frazier in a runoff election.

During the campaign, Defendant promulgated false information about Mr. Frazier to undermine Mr. Fraziezr’s credibility and tarnish his image in the eyes of the electorate.

These maliciously false allegations laid the foundation for what has developed into a continuing defamation crusade against Mr. Frazier.

9. Undeterred by his defeat during the 2022 campaign, and despite the fact that no election was pending, Defendant Chabot continued to publish false and injurious statements about Mr. Frazier.

Despite no longer campaigning against Mr. Frazier, Defendant persisted with a campaign of his own to defame Mr. Frazier and injure Mr. Frazier’s efforts for re-election.

On December 13, 2023, Defendant Chabot uploaded a video interview under the guise of presenting a factual recount of events for viewers.

In actuality, Defendant’s interview is just one of several occurrences where Defendant falsely implicates Mr. Frazier in criminal conduct.

Throughout this recorded conversation, Defendant repeatedly accuses Mr. Frazier of accepting plea deals to felony charges of impersonating a public official, and stresses that Mr. Frazier used his legislative position to delay justice.

Defendant further states that Mr. Frazier engaged in criminal acts of petty thievery by stealing campaign signs—a serious accusation of unlawful behavior that would be unbefitting of a police officer or legislator, which is entirely unsubstantiated.

11.

On February 5, 2024, Defendant shared a post on Facebook, making a series of unfounded statements and describing Mr. Frazier in deeply pejorative terms.

This post is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and is incorporated herein by reference.

In this post, Defendant referred to Mr. Frazier as a “dirty,” “dishonorable cop,” falsely accused Mr. Frazier of criminal behavior, and states that Mr. Frazier is dishonorably discharged from his service in law enforcement.

Exhibit “A”. 12.

Continuing what turned out to be a series of fallacious attacks, Defendant also posted twice in a Facebook group on February 5, 2024.

These posts are attached hereto as Exhibits “B” and “C” respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.

In the first of these posts, Defendant asserts that Mr. Frazier was recently convicted and that “he is being dishonorably discharged in lieu of possible termination.”

Exhibit “B”.

In the second of these posts, Defendant doubles down on prior assertions, claiming that Mr. Frazier is a “Dirty Cop” who received a “[d]dishonorable discharge from Dallas PD.”

Exhibit “C”.

13. Hoping to reach a greater audience, Defendant moved social media platforms and shared a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), further disparaging Mr. Frazier without any regard to the truth.

This tweet is attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and is incorporated herein by reference.

Here, Defendant shared a graphic that falsely claimed Mr. Frazier “lied to voters” and “slandered a disabled veteran.”

Exhibit “D”.

14. Each of these statements, and many more, are published for the world to see on a website run and operated and maintained by Defendant Chabot titled www.firefrazier.com.

This website compiles and republishes false statements about Mr. Frazier.

Chabot’s www.firefrazier.com website also features a blog where Defendant publishes false claims about Mr. Frazier to rally and mobilize voters against Mr. Frazier.

For example, in the most recent blog post on May 6, 2024, Defendant invites viewers to “[e]nter the site www.FireFrazier.com and learn the truth, then tell others…” (emphasis added). Another blog post on May 3, 2024, cautions voters that “[u]ltimately, the decision lies with Collin County voters, who will have their say on May 28th.”

Defendant’s dispersion of lies represented as facts to the electorate falsely places Mr. Frazier into the realm of controversy, impugns his credibility with Collin County voters, and advances Defendant’s apparent goal of tarnishing Mr. Frazier’s distinguished law enforcement career and personal reputation through any means necessary.

15.

These deliberate and continual statements are designed to falsely foster an image of Mr. Frazier as a criminal and a lawbreaker, thus decimating the public’s trust and confidence in his capacity to serve.

Defendant has concocted a maliciously false narrative to attack Mr. Frazier’s integrity and credibility, disparaging his steadfast commitment to serving the community and upholding the law.

Such a portrayal not only discredits Mr. Frazier’s notable career as a public servant and law enforcement officer but also constitutes deliberate harmful falsehoods meant to

PAGE 5 defame and inflict professional and personal damage.

Defendant’s statements, spread far and wide to reach as many voters as possible, have the potential to cause irrevocable harm to Mr. Frazier’s reputation.

16. Defendant’s statements are patently and maliciously false.

Contrary to Defendant’s representations, public records affirm Mr. Frazier’s honorable service. Mr. Frazier ended 2023 by retiring from the Dallas Police Department (“DPD”) and has performed his role as a legislator unsullied.

Contrary to Defendant Chabot’s verifiably false statements, Mr. Frazier has not been convicted of a felony, nor is he dishonorably discharged.

In fact, Mr. Frazier received documentation from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement on May 8, 2024, expressly notating Mr. Frazier’s general discharge from DPD.

Contrary to Defendant Chabot’s false statements, Mr. Frazier has not been accused or convicted of petty thievery.

Adding to Defendant’s complete disregard for the truth are Defendant Chabot’s claims that Mr. Frazier “lied to voters” and “slandered a disabled veteran,” which are also wholly unsubstantiated and without merit.

17. Mr. Frazier is a Texas House Representative for District 61. Mr. Frazier served as a police officer for over 28 years and became the first active-duty police officer to serve in the Texas House of Representatives.

In 2023, Mr. Frazier retired and ultimately received a general discharge (and not, as Chabot claims, a dishonorable discharge) from the Dallas Police Department.

Also in 2023, Mr. Frazier began campaigning for re-election to the Texas House of Representatives to continue representing District 61.

On March 5, 2024, during the Republican Primary, Mr. Frazier advanced to the Republican Primary runoff election.

The Republican primary runoff election took place on May 28, 2024.

Throughout the campaign, Chabot continued to spread false information about Mr. Frazier to tarnish Mr. Frazier’s image in the eyes of the electorate.

18.

In sum, the pattern of conduct exhibited by Defendant is not an isolated incident but rather a calculated and persistent effort to malign and discredit Mr. Frazier.

Through various public statements, social media posts, video interviews, and personally-managed websites, Defendant has unjustly attacked Mr. Frazier’s character, integrity, and professional reputation.

Even after receiving documentation describing Mr. Frazier’s general discharge from the DPD, Defendant Chabot continues to falsely assert, through un-deleted social media posts and website blog entries, that Mr. Frazier was dishonorably discharged.

Accordingly, Mr. Frazier seeks remedy for such egregious and systematic defamation through this Court’s consideration and action.

VI. CAUSE OF ACTION - DEFAMATION

19.

Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference and realleges all of the allegations above, as if fully set forth herein.

20.

Defendant published multiple statements on social media platforms, asserting as fact that Mr. Frazier:

a. Pled no contest to felony charges of impersonating a public official;

b. Used his legislative position to delay justice;

c. Engaged in criminal acts of petty thievery;

d. is a “dirty cop;”

e. is a “dishonorable cop;”

f. is dishonorably discharged from the Dallas Police Department;

g. lied to voters; and

f. slandered a disabled veteran.

21. Such statements, including attributing qualities to Mr. Frazier that are unbecoming of a police officer and member of the Texas Legislature, have an extreme degree of risk of harm flowing from their publication.

22. Defendant’s statements referred to Mr. Frazier either by name, or with enough specificity to ascertain his identity.

Viewers of these statements would understand that the defamatory content related to Mr. Frazier.

23. Defendant made and published these statements to third parties through various mediums, including social media platforms and video recordings, which were intended to be viewed by and were in fact viewed by a substantial number of individuals.

24. These false statements constitute libel because the statements tend to injure Mr. Frazier’s reputation and expose him to public hatred, contempt, ridicule, or financial injury.

The statements also seek to impeach Mr. Frazier’s honesty, integrity, virtue, or reputation.

25. Defendant’s statements constitute defamation per se because Defendant falsely accused Mr. Frazier of committing a crime and being dishonorably discharged from the Dallas Police Department.

26.

Other statements made by the Defendant constitute defamation per quod because the statements called into question Defendant’s ability to serve as a member of the Texas Legislature.

27. Defendant published the injurious statements either with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard as to its truth.

Defendant’s statements that Mr. Frazier was a dirty cop, a dishonorable cop, and had been dishonorably discharged from the Dallas Police Department are all patently false, which Defendant could have learned through public records.

Defendant’s failure to investigate his claims suggests that Defendant either knew the statements were false or that Defendant made the statements with a reckless disregard as to their truth.

28.

Defendant’s actual malice is further established by his personal animosity towardCopy from Mr. Frazier. Defendant began his defamation campaign against Mr. Frazier during the 2022 election, and Defendant has doubled down on his purposeful efforts to impeach Mr. Frazier’s reputation and expose him to public hatred, contempt, and ridicule.

Defendant’s efforts are calculated and motivated by personal feelings of animosity toward Mr. Frazier.

29. Defendant’s false and injurious statements proximately caused Mr. Frazier to suffer actual and compensatory damages, including, but not limited to, impairment of reputation and standing in the community; personal humiliation; and mental anguish and suffering.

Defendant’s statements continue to injure Mr.

Frazier. Defendant’s statements also impaired Mr. Frazier’s campaign efforts, potentially causing loss of employment, loss of business, and loss of clients.

VII. DAMAGES 30.

As a proximate cause of the acts committed by Defendant, Mr. Frazier is entitled to recover at least the following legal damages:

a. Past mental anguish damages;

b. Future mental anguish damages;

c. Damages to Mr. Frazier’s reputation and character;

d. Future loss of employment; and

e. Exemplary damages.

VIII. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT 31.

All conditions precedent to Plaintiff’s right to recover against Defendant have been met, satisfied, or waived.

IX. PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Plaintiff Frederick Frazier respectfully requests that Defendant Paul Chabot be cited to appear and answer herein; and that upon final

hearing, the Court enter judgment in favor of Mr. Frazier and against Defendant as requested above, including, but not limited to the following:

(a) Actual damages;

(b) Compensatory damages;

(c) Special damages;

(d) Exemplary damages;

(e) Costs of court incurred by Mr. Frazier in prosecuting this action;

(f) Pre-judgment and post-judgment interest;

and (g) Such other and further relief, both at law and in equity, to which Mr. Frazier may be justly entitled.

DATED: June 25, 2024 Respectfully submitted,
