Pulled the trigger. Had some pre purchase jitters and some post purchase doubts. A week plus later I'm very happy. It's a beauty of a truck.

A few little things, shifts seem better with the bigger engine, brake pedal is way better and switches are more user friendly. None of them are huge. The Ranger was my first Ford and already on number two!

Thanks for all the info! These forums are the best.

Congratulations and as long as you're happy that's what counts. Life is to short not to be happy!

Now we need to see the pictures. 😁

Nice looking F150 Brian! I always loved my black F150 and it looked great all cleaned up. You're going to need to take out stock in some 303 Graphene now. lol


These trucks have got so big over the years, it's almost the same size as my Ranger. Here's my 2009 for comparison.

Ranger is nearly the same size as the F100 from the late 60's early 70's

My dad owned one of those F100 Rangers. 1967, I think. 3 speed. I learned how to drive a manual on that truck in the hayfield picking up bales of hay.

It's actually the antimatter blue. Looks black most of the time and shows dirt equally as well! We are in drought conditions here in Nova Scotia and we are on a well. It's going to stay dirty for now.
