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

[TxOTRRanger]

I still remember watching "Take This Job and Shove It." I think that was the first time I saw the Original Big Foot truck. I think it crushed some little Porsche!

The first time that I ever saw BIGFOOT was on a VHS tape that Dad had recorded and it was a exhibition sled pull competition between Jim Kramer and BIGFOOT 6

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.

My 2026 Ranger XLT is ordered. Should have it in May or early June. And the best thing about it, Dave (@AzScorpion), is that I am not going to be needing Duke's (@DukeCanBuildit) help to remove a tailgate damper. Ford continues to wisely resist the pressure to include the worthless thing.

maybe only an enclosed SUV like an Explorer ... my last truck and it treated me very well for 283k miles
Yes it was the Eddie with Mustang rims
Its a ford, guess why I scraped it LOL
Loved it

Good, I'm kind of glad. Now I can complete my mission of converting you whether you want to or not. Game on Al!


Me sneaking over to Als place.

BYD Shark. I know you currently can't get them over in the US but unless you are doing seriously difficult off road, or towing something huge, these things shine for general use. Have a look over at Monroe where he tears one down and criticizes how it's too well made!

Thought I would add a link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_Shark

It’s a good thing Al because I’m backed up helping 5g owners who made that mistake, but you know where to find me if you need me.

Ever see the original 'The Haunting'? ... in the night, in the dark, where nobody can hear you scream...

I always like the F650 trucks with beds put on them, 4x4, etc. Not practical for me but if I won the lottery there would be signs!!

I bought Dad and myself a t-shirt from Mike Finnegan's FSM GARAGE.
And on the back of the shirt, this is what it says.
If I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs.
Mel, buddy, you nailed that one lol.

If/when I win no one will notice.

One of my friends up here owns 2 bigger than that, one is an F650
the other is pretty sweet SN# 0004
A few years ago when he flew to France to get his new Bugatti I asked him if I could borrow it to teach my youngest to drive LOL he said yes...

I've narrowed it down to these 3 trucks. All 3 are 4x4 and blue.
The two Rangers are velocity blue
This one is the XL STX 4x4.

This is a new version of what my current truck is, except its blue.

And the 3rd one is a F150 STX SUPERCREW 4X4 in atlas blue. Trying to find a super cab 4x4 was like trying to find a needle in a haystack lol.
So I settled with the 4 door.
I'd drive it.

Just possible replacements for the current truck. When it's time.
