To be fair I have enjoyed my new Ranger everyday since owning it, but today I turned off the speed limiter and nailed it getting onto the highway, instantly caught the giggles. How has everyone else been enjoying their Ranger

I enjoyed it by watching it in the driveway. I didn't have to go to the office, and it made me smile :). How did you remove your speed limiter? It's locked at 110, that's kind of a mildly excessive speed to enter the e-way :)

They had mine set at 80 MPH from the dealer, only found out while scrolling through the vehicle settings. But I have been known to slide on going over 100

Same here, the Focus ST I had was "drag limited" to 168, god knows I never went that fast though. They have the MyKey set in the dash then, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that so test drivers don't go too crazy.

I'd remove it as it can be "annoying" if one key gets lost you need an admin key to change the settings.

Dang guys, you're killing me! 50 more days until mine is delivered. Ugh!
So you enjoyed yours by watching it's progress on the website that still says "Vin XXXX in Processing step"?

Sorry about your loss, feel free to make up a story.

I’ve been really enjoying my truck just with daily errands .. the more I drive it the more I appreciate its more compact size
Yeah, going from a 143.5" wheel base GM truck to this has been like driving my old fusion again

Drove in the wet snow to work this morning. Comfortable and composed, never needed to use the 4WD. Enough control to stay safe, but close enough to fun so I could get the back end out in the parking lot :like:

The compact size is VERY nice! I didn't realize how often I need to parallel park and get into smaller spaces until I got something bigger than my old 05 Forester.

I haven't even gotten a promise to build mine yet... maybe someday:rolleyes:
I have seen the commercials though and I'm looking forward to taking up cliff jumping, sky diving, surfing and other dangerous sports, as soon as I get mine!;)
Of course they haven't done an Illannoy version yet so I may be restricted to the great sports of pot hole and shopping cart dodging or maybe an occasional road construction autocross course! (if the truck comes before the season ends):giggle:

Have missed kayak fishing for the past 3 weekends since I sold my F-150. Looking forward to hauling the kayak in the back and fishing in the Gulf this Saturday. :) Taking the wife out to dinner tonight in the Ranger. 36th wedding anniversary. :like:

Thanks! Happy Anniversary to you as well. Started pin striping the truck last night. Just got the tailgate done. Didn't want to do the sides by garage light. Hopefully will get the sides done by daylight this week. I did add black lettering inserts on the chrome grill Ranger wording. Looks great!
