We went on a weekend trip and now she wants one, we can add all the bolt ons after I just need to start her out with a good low miles truck, she just got rid of a Chevy 1500 4x4 she had to 10 years, it was a little big for her, she wanted an scab but I dont see any, I am trying to keep it below $28k "cash" if I can
Looking on the internet for a good used loaded XLT I have found 2 that meet the bill a 2019 with 54k at a dealer and a 22 XLT 14k on marketplace
What should I Offer? on this ....

I like the red one better.
The chrome is soooo pretty!?
What year model is the red one? Remember that while the 2019's have a lot of the original cool stuff that was later decontented, they also have had their share of problems like the ac blend door warfare thing and other stuff that's been widely documented in this forum.

But yeah. The red one is a beauty.

My only 2 cents is that the '22 will have lots of decontented stuff - but none of it would likely be a show stopper.

I've been very happy with my '22 but only have 5,800 miles on it. And I may be partial to red. =)

Both seem like good options.

Go with your gut, budget, and what she wants. Good luck and let us know (mainly so we can barrage you with what you need to add). =D

While they're both nice, it's a Ranger you can't go wrong. Personally I like this one as it's newer and has lower miles which would be my main focus. Most of the options that were removed were minor ones and didn't effect performance. Just add a damper and some 303 and it'll be like brand new! :like:?

If you want your girlfriend to remain your girlfriend, you'll skip the damper and just use a lot of 303. ?

I got a used 2019 in Jan this year and have had issues from day one. I'd go with the 22, again look around and see what's out there. I use the CARFAX website and put like a 200 mile radius. You can put in the search criteria like year, color, trim level etc..

My question is.....
If she wants a Scab, why are you settling for a Screw ????
Everyone knows that Scabs are the best....they show your girlfriend is smart, capable, and has great taste. And, they're sure to become collectors trucks !!!

In either case, I would get a very through checkup by a good mechanic. Most of the folks with no issues want to keep their Rangers, those plagued with issues trade them out. My 21 is not so decontented that I really care.
