He could be a transplant from Massachusetts. You know we were labeled as Massholes there. ?
Oh, don't tell me that! My daughter starts at UMass Amherst this fall. I think she'll be in for a bit of a culture shock, coming from Idaho. ?

It's going to be just a little bit of a shock. :shock: I never went to college but growing up I spent my fair share of weekends there. It was called ZooMass for a reason back then.??

After driving non-pickups for my entire life I finally got wise. Actually, it was my last camping trip in my wife's Subaru Forester, with my family of four plus a dog stuffed to gills, I made the decision to buy a truck. Initially, I was considering a Tacoma because, well everyone has a Tacoma here in Southern California. I wasn't completely won over by the price tag (with everything I wanted) and crampy driving position. On a whim I went to the Ford dealer and drove the Ranger. This was the winner. So I picked what I wanted... Ranger Lariat Fx4 in either Carbonized Gray or Iconic Silver. Took the buyer a few weeks to find the exact one. I guess supply is getting limited. The one he found had the Sports Appearance package on it, which I didn't consider in the beginning but dang those dark gray trimmings look so good on it.

So far it's been great. I am about 700 miles in. I've installed the rear damper, Undercover swing box, bed rug, and tonneau cover. Mostly minor items at this point. I've debadged the FX4 and did my own thing by drawing out the early 80s Ranger logo and added to it. I eventually want to add a bed rack and a roof top tent but that's for another day, and a fuller wallet.

Thanks to the board for all the information about all the possibilities for my new truck.

I've taken her out on a few off road excursions but nothing too rough. Too new to do that yet. Here's some photos from this past weekend.
