Veteran's Thought: Which Truck Would You Choose Besides Ranger5G?

[Dunedain Ranger]

Either the Ranger Raptor or the F-150 Raptor - preferably super cab if that is even possible anymore. Probably not...

After reading your post I Googled 2026 Ranger to check on the Super Cab.. ....2025 is all that I could find.

I spec'd a 2025 Ranger on Ford's site. Bummer for me. No SuperCab option.
After we got our Ranger we didn't know how we got by without a pickup before. We get by with the 6' box, sometimes with tailgate hangover. But we regularly pack the 6' box to the max, and still fit the truck in our garage. Mostly its me and my small wife with the dog tucked in one of the jumper seats. We have a four door sedan when we get popular, so a four door, 5' box truck won't work.
36K miles on the clock in six years. I reckon this Ranger will outlast me. ....with a new/rebuilt tranny.

I'll be ordering a 2026 Ranger XLT. When the Ranger PHEV comes to North America I'll let it season for a couple years and then trade for it. A guy can never have too many Ranger's in his life.

6g Ranger XLT 4wd with the FX4 package or a F150 4wd with the FX4 package.
Ford blue all the way!

I'm with you all the way!

I initially would have said either Ranger Raptor or Colorado ZR2.

But after my towing that I did this week, it was too heavy and neither of those could have done it.

So if I have to choose a midsize truck other than the one I own it would be another Ranger. But ONLY if the dealer offers it with a lifetime powertrain warranty.

Ford transmissions suck.

As for the color on both, Blue and the body style for the F150, Supercab with a 6 foot bed. Ring any bells, I have pictures of the predecessor posted in different threads on here.

I would look at a Ridgeline, because I could get by well on less of a trucky-truck, and am quite ok with a better car-like ride.

It does ride comfy. Drove one when my brother in law was looking. It was impressive. If the bed came as a SCab and had a 6' bed I would be seriously temped.

Not a clue. It's one of the sponsors.

For no cost?

Unimog. No question about it.

Yeah I’d go Ranger Raptor… or the ZR2 since apparently the army’s replacement for a light vehicle transport (like the Jeep was in ww2) is based off the Colorado platform but with a non neutered diesel engine… the fat electrician has a video on the army’s ISV.. pretty neat imo.

 

[Grandaccess]

Maybe a 6G Raptor.

or the F150 Raptor?
