Took my driving test in a '78 Ford wagon. Piece of cake on the maneuverability portion. Plenty of windows to see everything. Who needs backup cameras. I think driving that for a few years helped with my 'feel' for where the corners of a vehicle are.
HA HA!
I learned in a 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Wagon.
Ours was white with a maroon and faux BURLWOOD interior.

I learned to drive in Chevy's similar shaped 1977 Caprice Estate wagon complete with fake woodgrain panels sometime around 1982.

Yep. With the good ol' steel bumpers it was much less risky to "feel" where the limit was! :crackup:

Periodically when I see a case of stupid on the road I wish my Ranger was about a '68 F100. Put that nice bumper to good use.

I've always used my mirrors and never rely on the rear camera either. The only thing I'll use it for is to check the distance of how close I'm getting when I'm backing up against a wall.
This.

It is what it is. Love my 2019 with mods, hoods struts, engine cover LED headlights and resale of nearly what I paid. Best of all its paid off!

Edit....and AM radio?

That said the 2.7 is an option when and if it comes out in Tremor or fx4.

Yep, I remember driving around Atlanta in the early 80's in a 1966 International Harvester ex-farm truck. The best part was driving past 3 miles of cars backed up at the I-285 to I-75 north exit. I'd keep driving until I was close to the actual exit lane, look for a Mercedes/Cadillac/BMW, and just start turning in. They'd always let me in! ;-)

For some of us, parking is a challenge even with the Ranger. I was totally shocked when I came back to my truck last week after parking. My only theory is that Tracy drove over from Alabama and moved my truck somehow. ?
