I gave up my bought new 1988 Ranger XLT, V6, 5 Speed, RWD, 6 foot bed with 250k miles. The aerodynamic and size difference between the 1988 and 2021 is amazing. I got $3k for the old guy.

FM AZ,
Beautiful trucks. can relate to letting an older Ranger go for a newer one. 08 FX4 Grabber Orange to 21 XLT, both 4x4 Supercabs.
Ken,
Good looking trucks! I'm a fan of Orange too...
Traded in my 2011 Scab 4X4 in for the Saber Scab 4X4:

Traded in my 2017 Infiniti Q50 on the Ranger.
Car was tuned to run E30, 93, and 91 octanes (via map-switching). Had lower downpipes (secondary cat delete), full catback exhaust, drop-in air filters, big heat exchanger (intercooler), aluminum skid plates. Aftermarket 19x9.5 wheels paired with 245(f) and 275(r). Along with a few cosmetic goodies like a rear diffuser, lip spoiler, and dark tints.

I sold my 2018 Escape to Carvana when my Ranger came in. Idon't miss that car at all. Less room than our 2009 Mariner, I felt really cramped in it and I'm not a big guy. I looked through a bunch of albums and this was the only photo of that car.

I sure like the look of the G6 body style vs the G5. That's a beautiful ride.
