he'll never expect a thing if we go in the jeep...lolWe have to take a road trip one day and surprise Al. You keep him busy talking and I'll sneak into the garage and put 2 dampers on his Ranger.?
Yeah, I keep getting sales discounts from Adam's and The Rag Company...and you seem to find gadgets that were not known to be needed...like fine mister bottle I just discovered in older post and said, "hmmm"
I never got into the back of either the 2dr or the 4dr. When we went for the test drive in the 4dr the salesman was about 5'10 and had plenty of room back there. The 2dr looks similar to the Bronco's 2dr which is a PITA to get back there but once in there is a good amount of room. More than likely I'm taking the back seat right out once we get home. With the back seat in I don't think you could put a gallon of milk in the cargo area. lol
That mister bottle works great when you need just a fine mist and don't want to splash everything in sight. It's a little slower putting the product on but it saves you time from re-cleaning other areas you'd hit with a regular spray bottle.he'll never expect a thing if we go in the jeep...lol

Congrats Dave! I'm glad Granger came through for you.
Thanks Jim! I know we were all talking about it in the other thread from Granger and they really do make it very easy and no BS. It's nice that there's still some honest dealers out there even if you have to travel a bit to get to them.
I have a quote from Granger on a 2022 Ranger XLT FX4. I am ready to jump on it, but my wife is not budging yet. She wants me to wait until we see what the 2023 redesign really looks like. I hate to admit it, but she does have a point.
I was lucky when I found my Ranger, they did have ADM's but I got them to take them off. With the Bronco and the Jeep no one is willing to deal around here.
Hopefully your parents get to come out there so at least that will fill the void and you guys get to spend time together.
I agree with you on not buying a first year. I just want to see what the redesign really looks like and what motor(s) options Ford is offering. LOL, I have no doubts that my wife would totally be content with me driving my Tacoma until ’24 or ’25 before replacing it.I was lucky when I found my Ranger, they did have ADM's but I got them to take them off.

One thing to keep in mind and it may not matter to you is usually first year runs have issues. Some more than others but something to keep in mind. I would jump on the 2022 and wait until the second year of the redesign.
With the way things are going one of two things could happen. I don't see these shortages going away anytime soon so you get the '22 and enjoy it for a couple years and trade/sell it for a high price for the Gen6. Ford may decide to stay with this allocation system and it could still hurt smaller dealers like Granger. I know their numbers are increasing with these specials but they might still be low compared to these mega lot dealers. Tough decision. ?‍
I do see her point too and it's good she's like that financially. But sometimes (myself included) people get to hung up on saving and don't enjoy themselves . This is so unlike me to buy another vehicle as I'm usually pretty "thrifty" with money. Getting closer to retirement I fell like it's time to splurge a little after all these years of hard work and saving. If I couldn't write it off I'd probably wait and procrastinate it more until the prices were higher and then I couldn't justify it. lol As my good friend Jim @wanted33 would say "You never see a Brinks truck following a hearse".
Well, I mean guess what Ford now does (at least according to EVERY Ford radio commercial I hear these days) is prioritize customer orders over dealer stock lol. One radio ad even says "pay less for your new Ford by ordering it than what you will pay off the dealer lot!"Yeah I'm not holding my breath on that time frame. One thing that Jeep does (and all the rest should too) is prioritize customer orders BEFORE dealer stock. I heard this from 4 different dealers so here's to hoping it arrives before my Bronco does. ?
The Ranger is staying put right here for the time being. I still have morevictimscustomers to convert ahemmm...AL @Texasota . ?Thankfully most of the newbies seem to have done their homework and pre-read the forum and already added one to theirs.
You've learned well Grasshopper. I hoping the last check written from my account is to the funeral home, and it will bounce back like a rubber ball.I do see her point too and it's good she's like that financially.

? Maybe you could pull a plug wire a couple times to convince her your Tacoma's on the fritz?
