Picked up this 2019 on Friday. I was pretty open minded about my truck shopping, but once I saw a Ranger on the lot it was all over. It reminded me a lot of my beloved Sport Trac.

Nope, but I had a good base to start with. This one had the 4.10 gears with a limited slip differential in the rear.

I could get some Ranger parts to cross over, like the front skid plate, but most everything had to be modified. The snorkel was all created in my head and fortunately worked out really well.

Welcome, Chris. My "first" truck was a Sport Trac which a neighbour loaned me for several weeks a couple of summers ago. It was a great truck, and brought back my childhood dreams of having a truck of my own, so when it was time to replace the SUV, the Ranger was one of my top picks.
