What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Doc]

6 years on 4/19, 71,000 miles, no major troubles. I bought the 2nd Rnager from our local dealer, was looking for a used F150 but every one I brought home met with extreme disapproval from the boss so I told the salesman to let me try the Ranger. It was all over after that. This is the first of many pics of my truck.

Nice !

Our families both live on the other side of the country - so we took the ranger out to the lake and celebrated Easter our way.

Switched vehicles with my son yesterday since he needed a bunch of gravel for a French drain he's putting in his back yard. The landscaping supply place will only load a half ton at a time (liability) so he had to make several trips. Rare pic of my truck doing truck stuff instead of being detailed up at a show. He says he didn't even notice the 1000 pounds of gravel in the bed.

Hauled a 250 lb $1400 smoker 50 miles. Pro athlete was giving it away to my buddy who worked for the moving company he used since he’s changing to a new city with an $80,000,000 contract so didn’t seem to mind giving the smoker as a tip

I just hauled a yard of compost. Dude said it was probably around 1000lbs but my Ranger didn’t care either. She was squatting pretty good

Video my son sent me. Never let it be said that the show truck doesn't go to work once in a while.

Fun note, my wife noticed a lady at Lowes when we were leaving. She had a tarp in the back seat of her VW beetle convertible and was loading that thing up.

One does what one must with what one has to work with......

Before I owned a truck I once borrowed my mother's Eldorado to pick up some lumber and stuck a load of 2x4s's out the sunroof.

Started a six day road trip. Only 4 hours driving today. Camping at a WV state park tonight! Did a little fished a little. Beautiful place and great weather. Tomorrow off to another WV state park.

Can’t believe I have 5g cell coverage here!

Nice! Sounds like a great offer on the 2019. I was assisting my daughter purchase a new Maverick earlier this week and the salesman asked if I wanted to trade my Ranger. I said sure, offer me more than I paid for it. He scoffed. I'm about the same mileage as you and that trade in offer isn't far off what I paid. I'd never trade though. Once mine is dead my next purchase will be something older.

Gotta get some wheels for that Mav ?.

Went to Bar Harbor for a long weekend. 600 miles, 15 hours, and supposedly 26.4 mpg. Most driving was 60-70 except for lead foot Kate on the way back doing 80+ (good thing I was snoring). =D

First road trip with Kota - he loves trips so that was nice.

Beautiful weather and my first time there. Drove the last half up there on US 1 for tons of quaint New England villages. Drove back through Bangor (Banger? I hardly know her!) and saw the 54 foot tall Paul Bunyan, and no, we didn't pass by Stephen King's house.

lol, you overlander guys got nuthin' on Kate, this was only 2 nights/3 days!

let's blow this popsicle stand!

office for the little cottage place we stayed at

you can just make out Soupie on the right

first night's dinner - yum! =)


Kota scored some grilled chicken

Acadia National Park roads were open, but nothing in the park was open yet

view off a park loop

Park Loop Road

a tiny bit of snow on Cadillac Mountain

Cadillac Mountain, highest point or Eastern Seaboard and supposedly the spot t see the sunrise first in contiguous US (neither Kota or I were interesting in getting up there that early!) =D

lol, those ears! =D

gets so packed in the summer that you have to get a ticket to go for the sunrise and another ticket for any day driving. it was steep coming down and used manual shifting in Sport mode, that really worked nicely

Somes Sound

on the way to have a picnic at Seawall Beach - got a hankering for venison jerky ...

not too bad of accommodations for a little guy

Soupie at Seawall Beach

Kota at Seawall Beach

park restroom was closed, but nature was open, phew! =p

did see a scab in Bangor, Stephen King wasn't driving it ...

exhausted on the way back

clearly, Kota needs more sleeping options! =p

I like those seat covers you have for the front. Looks like a beautiful day mobbing around in the Ranger.

Day two drove about 3.5 hours to next WV stop yesterday. Absolutely amazing day with a great camp spot over looking the Creek I was fly fishing for native wild Appalachian Brook trout.
