Everyone is certainly "proud"? of their Ranger , and this "appreciation" thread proves it ... so does that make this ? a "Ranger Pride Appreciation " thread ? ? (Asking for a friend or previous persona)
Careful, you'll get the thread deleted.:shock:

Just wanted to throw up an appreciation post. I always read negative things; transmission this, fuel economy that, weird issue there, blah blah.

Anyways. Ive used my Ranger as my "work" vehicle for the last few years. I fall trees for Wildfire during the summer up here in BC, Canada. My Ranger takes me everywhere. Forestry roads, gravel, moon dust, grass, dirt, mud, sand, hills, puddles, ash, smoke, you name it. I've clocked about 10,000km over the last 6 weeks, with only about 1/4 of them being on pavement. I've driven 1400km from one end of the province to another, mobbed around on a fire for 2 weeks, and then driven 1400km back home. All without skipping a beat.

The truck hasn't let me down. Other than some 10 ply tires, an Optima battery, its 100% stock. I do all my own regular maintenance with quality fluids and filters, check everything on every fill up and drive a bit like a grandma most times.

The point of this is to just reaffirm the fact that most of us drive these things every day, doing "truck stuff", with no real problems. Don't let the plethora of posts about pesky issues deter you from the fact that these are good trucks. And you can drive them as such.

*knocking on wood now so I don't have issues after posting this ?*

Great post! I love my 2023 SC, it has been great. I do NOT miss my previous vehicle, 2016 Ram 1500, in 95k mi, I had to replace the fuel pump, water pump, exhaust manifold bolts and finally the manifold bolts broke again and it started with the knocking at idle which is the cam roller bearings failing, which means rebuild.
But is it an SC or an SC? :wink:
