Ranger sightings rare in US

[Ranger X3]

I see a couple everyday on the streets of Sedona, lots more on the weekend. I was asked twice yesterday about my 19 Scab (how I like it, does it have enough power and do I take off-roading). People really like the size and look of them.

I see Rangers frequently in Northern VA; maybe one Ranger on every other outing. I have only seen two other S.cabs though and one of them was a fleet vehicle--the one that got me shopping for a Ranger S.cab.

When I drove from Miami to Springfield, Mo for the Moore 2021 Expo, I didn’t see many Rangers either. What I did catch were a couple of Wildtraks on a hauler using Michigan plates.

I see stock ones pretty frequently. They probably see me and are "wtf is that?"

Cursory glance I see mostly a lot of boomers with chrome packages and a few sports packages here and there.

Hi Alex,

These are Test Vehicles shipped via Reliable. Reliable is Ford's go to shipping... Since these are close to production prototypes, no cover carrier was required...

I saw a blue Ranger in Carrollton, TX the other day... wasn't a North American Ranger however--no steel bumper. Looked more like an over seas Ranger. Wish I could have taken a picture.

Saw this at work today and some funky bike parked beside it

Off topic, but that's a Ural.
It's a RUSSIAN motorcycle, as you might guess from the name, if you're up to speed on your geography... Interesting bike. Never seen one up close.
Kinda looks like they copied the Beemer engine.
And that springer fork! They didn't copy that from anybody. LOL

Starting to see a couple more here and there per week. Before it was like once a month when I first got it. Excited for more ranger5g buddies. Always pull next to them so they see the ranger5g decal

Just returned today from a family reunion in Flagstaff, AZ. Only saw 3, 2 whites and a blue during the whole trip. One in the city, two on the freeway. The trip was cluttered up with Jeeps.

To bad I missed you by a week, we're headed up there on Sunday. Yes Flagstaff and Sedona are littered with Jeeps all the time.

I am on the road everyday in and around the Toronto area I have only seen a handful of them, and only one Tremor which I guess is to be expected as they just hit the dealerships recently and at 54k CAD, I think it makes people think twice.

I find this interesting Tim. I grew in the GTA and now live in Kingston, around here there are plenty of Rangers. I see at least two or three a day and I don't really do much driving at all (short commute). I've observed there are way more old gen Rangers here too. When I'm back in TO visiting friends/family I never see any. I think I've seen one 2019+ Ranger that wasn't mine in the GTA since I bought my truck a year ago.

My theory is that, 1) people in the 416 don't really buy trucks, unless they're truly work trucks in which case they're full-size, and 2) people in the 905 don't want to be caught dead in a "small" truck (keeping up with the Jones' mentality) so they also buy full size.

Maybe I'm over analysing but having grown up in the suburban ratrace hell of the GTA and now having lived in Kingston for 5.5yrs I think it's really the mentality that comes into play here. GTA is all BMWs Audis and big full size trucks (status symbols). Kingston is just (generalizing of course) people buying a vehicle that *actually* suits their needs instead of using it as a status symbol lol.

Whaddya think? Am I off base? ?

Just did a four week trip across the country, and was amazed at how few Rangers I saw. I swear I've seen more in my town in BC on any given day then I did in any of the places we visited, including areas like Tetons and UT. Plenty of Tacos and F-150s of course. Are they really that rare on the ground?

Seen a few here in OR/WA but but pretty rare. Only one other Scab. No other Cactus Grey. As another poster said it would be hard to get away with anything as I stick out like a sore thumb. Parked next to a new White Tremor the other day and got chatting to the owner, nice guy.
