I laugh, up here in New England these are everywhere (the 2000's aero F-150's) still but with frame rot and no rocker panels. Your truck is in great shape!

Just sold my 2016 Nissan Frontier SV V6 to vroom today!

Mine replaced a 2019 Hyundai Tucson, great SUV, but no comparison to the Ranger.

I replaced a 2017 GMC Canyon that was leased for three years...It was a good truck and had there been decent incentives I could have went with another one. The deals were good enough on the Ranger and I liked the truck so that I decided to purchase instead of lease.

Yeah, I was disappointed that it had no tach, even for an XLT, could be that it was an automatic, or Ford decided to go 'thrifty' and not include one.
Even the pre-2000 models had the much safer amber rear turn signal lens separate from the tail/stop lite lens, a practice they abandoned in 2000.
Was your 3.0 a stick?

Yeah it was a manual. It was also a single cab which is why I couldn't get the 4.0 in the first place. I never really had any problems with it but 150'ish horsepower was also fine for me at the time. What I thought was bizarre was that it was an XLT but I had manual floppy mirrors and no power windows or locks. I would've figured that'd be standard for XLT trim like it was on the F-150s of the era.

Traded in a 2016 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4x4. I was lucky that I never had any issues with the Renegade as some others had. It was a good little suv but my needs changed.

Does the Ranger feel much smaller?

So here is the Jeep I traded in for my new Ranger XLT - not missing the 6 speed manual - I will say that I miss the top a little since we have been in the 60's here - but love the rear sliding door.

I traded a 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 in on a new 2019 Ranger XLT. I absolutely loved my Colorado and it was a great truck. I was looking to trade it in on a new one as I had over 75,000 miles in 2 years and 2 months. However, $9,500 in Ranger incentives had me make the change. There are things I like better with the Ranger and some things I like better with the Colorado. They are very similar in many aspects. G.B.

Nope, in my opinion it feels bigger. The F150 has a leveling kit with 305/70/16 tires and the ranger sits just as tall. The F150 fits in my standard garage with 1ft of walking room in the back. The Ranger barely fits with 4-6” to spare.

That was me too, I liked the auto 4wd feature on my Canyon for sure....almost no incentives on the twins and almost 20% off the Ranger xlt's.. hurt the twins Now that I've been in the Ranger for 350 miles...The turbo and ten speed is fabulous..and the truck is more quiet by at least a 3 factor in ten. Say Canyon was 3 and ranger a 6....on wind and road noise...


Loved the silver when I was looking too but my Canyon was silver...Nice truck you have...I went with Hot Pepper Red this time.

My truck replaced a Subaru Forester 2015 Diesel.
It was problem free car literally, no issues whatsoever for 4 years, but somehow it did not get me, I wanted to change it after first several months...

2015 Outback

2010 XLT 212,000 miles. Feeling like I should have kept it for a 'yard dog and Wal Mart' truck though. I don't want to scratch this new one!
