Anyone say, I should have purchased a different truck?

I’m another one of those old Ranger owners, i.e. 72, and I love my ‘22 SCAB FX4. Downsized from a crew cab F150, which was also a great truck, but just too big. When I open the garage and I’m by myself, I always pick the Ranger over our Highlander Limited.

As for problems, “ain’t had no stinking problems”.

I sold my 2019 6 days after my oldest said he felt like he was in a lifted Prius

I'm thinking it's time for that little birdie to leave (be pushed?) out of the nest. Let him go buy his own ride. See how that works. :wink:

Though I guess it could be worse.... he could be a fan of the trunkless Accord. (Ridgeline) Then you'd need a full blown intervention.

All my boys experienced growth spurts a year after I got the truck. They were knees up when they jumped in.

But then again, I'm kind of weird - I like the basic (non steely - PVD?) wheels better than the Lariat wheels.
Nothing weird about it, big rims are stupid. I cannot wait for that fad to die and for rubber to be something you can get on a new higher-trim vehicle. I'm hoping EVs do it, as you can literally watch the range melt away as the wheel size goes up.

Love mine! no issues except a door ding :mad:. Just under 22k miles and no problems, fun to drive and nice ride on 2 roadies to San Diego.
Yeah, the sheet metal seems especially thin and the dings come sooo easily. Pretty aggravating.

You get 34 MPG on the freeway? Wow. Mine's never been over 22.6
I saw mine hit 28 mpg once, but doing the math manually I found out the truck is 2-3 mpg optimistic on what it's reporting... so 24 mpg turned out to actually be 22 mpg... etc. Still not terrible, but I'd think a turbo 4 cylinder could do better. The naturally aspirated V6 in my Nissan Frontier gets an honest 24+ mpg on the highway.
