First Encounter in the "Wild" (Ranger's Spotted Megathread)

[RedlandRanger]

Those searches usually show inventory that's been ordered and not delivered. A lot of people have found huge numbers of rangers but when they actually try to see one they find out it isn't actually on the lot.

That is true, but the dealer where I bought mine is pretty small and when I went in last weekend to pick up my plates, they had 8 or 10 in stock on the lot (I didn't work too hard to count them all). I was shocked when I saw that many Rangers at a relatively small dealer. A couple of larger dealers here show 40-50 in stock, so stock levels are most certainly coming up from where they were a few months ago. In January, one of the largest dealers here had only 2 in stock.

I saw a magnetic Lariat with chrome package and a black Lariat FX4 yesterday. Hardly any on lots here, of the three closest dealers to me two of them have one Ranger and the third has none.

I live in SC but in a suburb of Charlotte, NC. I haven't seen a Ranger on the road here or in Charlotte yet. Very weird.

I’ll be in that area with my ranger in a few weeks for my sisters graduation if my bed cover makes it to me in time. Maybe you’ll finally see another one on the road, if it has Florida plates, it will be me

I just got done driving 4 hours from Southeastern Indiana to Chicago and back just hoping I would see at least one but a last I never saw another Ranger I am really starting to think we are few and far between.

Just for the record, I only assumed you all were old and retired, I never insinuated white, or any other race than old.

I will identify as an old white guy, just for today.

Subvet posted old white guys.
I replied to him how does he know I'm white as an inside joke.
Subvet and I are brothers and we're older in age only and white.

Well I certainly qualify as old at 63, but not retired. Yet.

Sometimes retired is a state of mind

Finally! Just moments ago saw my first Ranger in the wild. Coming up the bypass in Enterprise, Alabama. Beautiful. Lightning Blue. Sorry, couldn’t take a picture as I was driving. But it sure got me excited! Can’t wait for my Saber Ranger!

Where abouts are you? I am close to Forrest and Midway and have been driving around to get some miles on the ranger (silver, supercab).

I'm in McKinney. 75 and 380 area. When I saw those 2 I was near 121 and Custer. I've only seen 1 in Allen since that day.

One passed me on I 75 north of Gainesville fla...It was white with a gators license plate.

350+ miles to Tail of the Dragon and back, zero Rangers

I have yet to see another one besides mine. I have had it for a little over a month now. I find that surprising and this is a populated area (Orange County south of L.A.), so there HAVE to be others around. Go figure.

I have yet to see another one in the Portland area as well. I know there are at least a few out there (@Oregon Comrade for one), but I haven't seen any of them on the road yet. I was out hiking a couple weeks ago and we had turned around due to too much snow (I didn't feel like getting stuck, and I didn't have any chains), but a guy on a motorcycle was asking about the roads - after we told him he said "well, you could just go and Baja your new Ranger thru that snow!!!" - so he obviously knew what is was. That was kind of cool, I have to admit.
