Wow all, thanks for the warm replies ! Our little health hiccups are in the rear view mirror now and we are looking forward to 2021 .Also during all of this going on we had purchased a new house 4 years ago that is a super duper net zero house. The first year we had a lot of drywall cracks that reappeared every 4 months or so (about 300 feet) and after 5 times we brought engineers in to find issue. Engineer determined the issue was not enough fresh air ventilation. The house was totally respackled 7 times ! None of the contractors would wear masks when in the house so we had to live in our garage on and off during repairs (4 months)as my wife's doctors told her to avoid covid at all costs. Well 20K later our home is awesome and has new drywall new flooring and paint and the mold is gone ! Added a better whole house dehumidifier with smart energy recovery ventilator and now the house performs as designed. I think we all need a break from 2020. May 2021 be better than the Last. Get out there and enjoy these Rangers. Stay safe my friends, Bret

TWO of them !!! I have been trying to get the wife to let go of her 17 Taco Sport double cab and with the frame inspection thing every year I figured it would hurt the resale or trade value in the future. Couple days on the computer had 2 local dealers wanting my business. Ended up the dealer I bought my 19 Ranger from had a similar vehicle coming in the next day but it was Blue, beautiful but she wanted Red. So she thought about it. The last 8 months have been rough on everyone but she had 4 strokes during this covid crap ! Sucked driving her to the hospital and having to leave her there ! Then the last 2 months for me have been interesting also. Im blind in my right eye and the last 2 months my left eye has been trying hard to do the same. All is well now and im driving again, just lost little reading vision. So back to the truck she just said lets get it. I guess the dealer figured it wasn't right color but he knew I was looking elsewhere so he knocked $6 grand off the Ranger with rebates and an amazing $33,795 for my almost 4 year old 17 Taco Sport double cab 4x4 with 35,000 miles that we paid $39,000 for ! Awesome truck ! Many differences from 19-20. Sync is very different from my 19 and in her truck its eating up her iphone battery quickly. Ordered an ARE cap this morning, also DAMPER, bed rug, weather tech mats and window vent visors, AVS bug shield, mud flaps, sill plates, and tailgate seal. 2020 Lariat crew cab ,lightning blue, medium stone ,501A,chrome package, FX4, locker, running boards , Ford spray in. pictures aren'

Beautiful addition to your rolling stock Bert. Prayers for continued improvement sent for you, and your wife.

BTW, I'm partial to Lightening Blue myself. My LB STX is due on 12/10....I hope. :)

Bret. just saw this thread, I'm late to the game but congrat's on the "Blew By You" Ranger and good to see things are on the mend.

That first picture of them "back to back"... I was hoping you were going to lash them together, old school style, and have a "Pull Off" :cool:
