Hi David,

Give me the dimensions of the oval outline. If I have one that fits, it can be yours free...

Hi Phil,
Thank you very much for that offer, that's really nice of you and I appreciate it, but the fact is that it's actually a bad case of laziness because I do have the emblem on a shelf in the garage but I haven't yet gotten the required "round tuit" I don't remember how and when it came off anymore, but luckily it wasn't on the road somewhere! The truth is out now, though, and I'm going to have to get a round tuit soon!

I had a few Police Interceptor badges in my drawer for about 20 years now. I wonder where they went or if they’d even stick.

I still have this metal Ford Fob on my key ring. Got it years ago when they gave out tokens to customers. Now your fortunate if they give you a disposable plastic tag for your key ring . This dealership is still operating here in the city. The Sales Rep's name was engraved on the back of the Fob but I have removed it for confidentiality...

Nice complement to the orange (apologies if that's not the correct Ford color name)

Do they make the ovals in Saber? I got a Blue truck...

Don't know? But I really like the rich blue color of your Truck! Found the Saber while is was still being assembled at the plant and just couldn't resist

Factory only has black and blue right now. Boy that doesn’t sound right now does it! ? Anything else you see if aftermarket custom work

I'm a sucker for blue. This one just knocked me over at the dealer. I normally shop around and research everything to death. I was trying to get a Tacoma, used of course, and the more I read, the less I wanted one. Seat height not adjustable? WTF? SO I broadened my search. Drove a Frontier. Underwhelmed. Ford? OK, I'll take a look, but they are much bigger than my old Mazda B3000. Oh, well, I'll dip my toe in. So this was the first Ford dealer I drove into to look at one. BOOM! Bought the thing on the same day. I don't normally do that...

Phil, those would make some nice garage art. Arranged on a nice wooden plaque, and you've got a great conversation piece.

I can identify with that as I'm also a researcher and thoroughly investigated the Ranger...so was then ready to buy. The research said to go for it. Looked for six months locally, TX, CO, AZ even CA because these are popular Truck areas and nothing . After much frustration , one day I thought of a great Ford dealer here in the city so went online and in 5 minutes was ZAPPED when I caught it in their inventory. They had pre-ordered it with everything I wanted except for the basic small standard infotainment screen which I would prefer larger, especially when using the backup camera but have been able live with that. Went down and signed the papers and a week and half later picked it up shortly after it was prepped off the transport. The buyers remorse left quickly after driving it awhile. Have no regrets and would buy it all over again in a heartbeat. You made the right choice with the Ranger...enjoy it to the max... I particularly love the beefy look of the Rangers...attached photo of it at Walmart parked next to another Ranger. Noticed you had a B3000...had a 99 B4000...great Truck...photo attached.

I bought my first Ranger, a 1993 XLT in Deep Plum from Rich Ford. Saw one on a rack showing off the 4x4. so i stopped in to look at them. some guy was smoking a cigarette on the curb and asked if I found anything I liked. Next thing I know, I put a $500 deposit on a truck order with a 2 month delivery date. I didn't even sit in or drive a Ranger until a week before it was delivered.

Now I see that missed out on the key chain!

In the shop today and digging into some old antique tool boxes where I keep jewelry and clock repair tool...This is what I found some many years later...note the changes in the ovals, the Ranger Block letters. Also a flex fuel road and leaf badge.

i know this is an old thread, but it reminded me of a question you. I bet you are the man with the answer. In the what i remember (possibly not correct time frame) the early 2000s a lot of buzz was taking places on lower emission cars and trucks and few manufactures would label them LEV, ULEV and so on. I always wondered why ford did not label the 4g rangers more and capitalize on the issue. under the hood on my 4g one of the manufacture stickers says meets ulev2 California standards or something like that. Would have been cool to have a tailgate emblem or something being proud of the low emissions status.

Maybe not what you were looking for but there was an EV Ranger in '98-02
