What car/truck are you replacing with the new Ranger?

[cfhgarza]

I traded in a 2015 Ram 1500 Express. I had originally wanted a Ranger but went with the Ram because of price. I discovered a huge rust spot hidden in the bed fender.
Lesson learned, Inever get a used vehicle without pulling all fender liners and just get what you really want to begin with.

I'm loving the smaller size of the Ranger. Way more comfortable, easier to drive, see and park.

get three cans of fluid film spay inside the bed( in the holes one side of bed) the inside of the steel bumpers, in the door weep holes , inside the rocker panels ,(between the spot welds) inside the frame rails take another two cans of you want to get working hard. If OHIO is anything like CONNECTICUT with the brine on the winter roads you will thank yourself in 10 years.! truck will still be solid .none of that ram rust!!

After trying to sell it myself for nearly a month, I traded a 2010 BMW 328i xDrive for my Ranger. I needed a larger car, and shopped for SUVs for a couple weeks before deciding that the Ranger satisfied my needs better than adding a third SUV to our household fleet.

Never been to Connecticut but they use tons of salt here. I'm going to have The Ranger professionally coated before winter.

2008 Sport Trac
Wish Ford would have taken some of the best parts from the Sport Trac and moved them to the Ranger
1. Composite bed with molded in storage
2. Completely open under back seat for storage
3. Vertical power sliding rear window which was about 1/2 of the back glass, no obstructed views

Got rid of a 2018 Lariat FX4 F150 for a 2020 Lariat FX4 Ranger. Got 42k for the F150 and owed 19k on it.

I traded in my SHO for my Ranger. Loved the car, but moved out to the country and wanted/needed a truck. SHO got me pulled over quite a bit for speeding in NOVA, too!
(I let the cop go with a warning ?)

If I can make up my dang mind it will be this little Yota truck. It's a good little truck, but I can't take it on trips. Runs great and all that, but that old style bench seat just isn't as comfortable as today's vehicles seats. Of course I'll have to sell it as the market price is way above the trade in price.

Replaced my third Ranger (2001 XLT Off Road) for my 2019 XLT - after Jones-ing for the 5G for WAY too long.

We're not replacing anything- we just needed an inexpensive hoopty to bridge the gap between my wife's custom-ordered European Delivery BMW Track Pack car, and our 62,200 pound GVWR ex-USMC special forces armored gun truck MTVR motorhome...

I had a 2018 Escape SEL 4WD (really an AWD, but that's what it said on the chrome). Soon after I bought it, I joined the escape.org forum and got that vibe you get when you go on a blind date and really hope it will go ok now that you've met each other, but you're getting a sinking feeling. It seems like starting with the 3G (2013-19) the car has been plagued with problems, the worst being coolant intrusion into #2 or #3 cylinders, mostly on the 1.5L Ecoboost I-4, but now more people reporting the same thing with the 2.0. I never had a problem with mine, but tik-tok...
I ordered a 2021 Ranger XL 4X4 SuperCab, sold the Escape to Carvana. and got more for it than the dealer offered, even if I had traded it in on the spot. No surprises, simple procedure and they came out and picked up the Escape at no extra charge. Good experience, I would deal with them again.

Mrs Motorpsychology & I will be celebrating our 42nd year (in a row!) anniversary later this year. To celebrate, we are remodeling our 1/2 bath. Well ok, and the Ranger. So now, we are getting by with one full size bath and our '09 Mariner for awhile. When we were first married, we had a one bedroom, one bath apartment and a 12 year-old '67 Chrysler Newport. What goes around comes around, I guess.
