2620. Got five foot tiller, post hole digger, 54 inch mower deck, and 20Kw PTO generator.
What did you decide to do?
It's still waiting at the dealership
I went from a Ecoboost Mustang to a Ranger. My knees were screaming at me getting in and out. FYI, I am 9 years older than you.I’m going tomorrow to look at a 2023 Maverick Lariat FX4 with tow package. One owner 21k miles. Ford certified.
I sat down and took an honest look at my needs as a 61 year old with two back surgeries, one knee replacement down and another on the way.
I’m at a place where I have to face reality. I don’t have the capabilities I once had and I’m not going to stop the downhill slide of aging. I hire folks to do the tough work I can’t do any more.
I need a less capable awd smaller vehicle easier to get in and out of. My camping is moving toward the rustic rental cabin level from truck and tents
Going to look at the Maverick because it does have a small bed that I can use for Home Depot runs and to tow a small trailer with lawn mower etc.
Reality bites, but it is what it is.
I never would have taken it to a shop 10 or 20 years ago to do the front struts or the oil cooler on my Jeep but I was being honest with myself for a change. With the FPP tune, it is every bit as quick as the Mustang, staying under posted speed limits. Even with the level and slightly bigger tires, a small step up and an easy slide down. Keep that in mind when you test drive. No back issues so I can't relate to that, yet.

Yep, reality bites. On the bright side, it seems like a fun vehicle, looks pretty cool, has real utility, and could make things easier for you. You could make worse choices.I’m going tomorrow to look at a 2023 Maverick Lariat FX4 with tow package. One owner 21k miles. Ford certified.

oh, I’ve made many worse choices in my life. Usually fueled by bourbon, beer or a combination of the two…You could make worse choices.
If it only came in a SuperCab version.
Oh, I've made my share of all of them too but you forgot the major one...Women!oh, I’ve made many worse choices in my life. Usually fueled by bourbon, beer or a combination of the two…
YMMV but I learned long ago that I needed to avoid any girl whose name ends in a vowel.Oh, I've made my share of all of them too but you forgot the major one...Women!

I don't know why, but every girl I dated with a name ending in a vowel (usually an "a") ended up being a wrong choice.
My wife's name ends in a sometimes vowel and has worked out really well
Oh yeah, just because Deborah ends in a consonant, that "a" sure makes itself known quite quickly.
Come to think of it all mine ended in a vowel but I don't think that was it. 
Needless to say I started asking them what they did for a living right off the bat. lol
I had to update my medical information in preparation for an upcoming doctor visit. One question as usual was “How many days a week do you consume alcohol“?oh, I’ve made many worse choices in my life. Usually fueled by bourbon, beer or a combination of the two…
