Picked up my truck on Tuesday. My 1st drive around the parking lot & I went "Oh my God the mirrors are so big they create two huge blind spots". I'll get used to it but it was a shock. Being vertically challenged I find that it can be a little difficult swinging to pull into a parking spot. Also...

Still haven't seen one other than the one I just picked up. Al

Have yet to see one in Eastern Ma. Meanwhile Rangers are piling up on dealer lots. One dealer has 58 Rangers in stock. I put a deposit on one in transit a month ago. Supposed to be here last Tuesday. As of yesterday it's sitting in Ohio. Al

Hey bandit67, on the V series were you able to get the E option on the lock so that the key fob would unlock it? I was told I could not get it on the V series. Thanks Al

At 33' & over 23000 lbs it might be able to get it rolling but at 18' high from the waterline I don't think there are many overpasses I could fit under. Al

I think your "small things" are awesome. I've done a lot of woodworking & know what kind of patience is required to get your results. Al

Just driving with the traffic flow. Last evening in light traffic I was doing 65 in the middle lane (55 zone). The cars in the 2 outside lanes were passing me like I was stopped. Try driving in Eastern Ma. & you will understand what I'm talking about. When I drive in So. Cal. or Manhattan I'm...

I started scuba diving in 1979. Due to health reasons had to give it up 3 years ago. For the same reason had to give up skiing about 10 years ago. I'm still heavy into boating. In fact we basically live on my boat all summer. Al

Considering ARE V series. Does anyone know if an XLT super cab with 302a & tech package & remote start unlocks the tailgate with the key fob? Thanks Al

In the super congested traffic of eastern Ma. adaptive cruise control is useless. Doing 70 in a 55 zone, all of a sudden you are down to 25, then up to 55, then down to 10 mph. & so on & so on. Al

Thanks for the replies. I know it's not expensive or a big deal to add them. Like I said my last three trucks came with them & the Ranger is being marketed as an active lifestyle vehicle & yet you have to order them. Al

Am I just old or does no one believe in mud flaps any more? My 1984 Tacoma, 1989 Tacoma & 1999 Ranger all came with mud flaps. My 2019 XLT that I put a deposit on the other day doesn't have them & I noticed looking at the garage & various member's trucks that no one else seems to have then...

Well around the metro Boston area some dealers are well stocked. One dealer I looked at had 51 Rangers. However 45 were crew cabs. Mostly Lariats. In fact every dealer I looked at had almost no super cabs . The ones they had that were XLT's were loaded up with running boards, tech package &...

Thanks for all the replies. My thinking is that for navigation, Google maps is the best with frequent updates. Unless I'm driving out of state, cruise control is useless as driving in eastern Ma. is just to congested. It's probably been 20 years since I've tried using cruise control. Al

Finally located an XLT supercab. Right color with the 302 & tow package. I can live with the ebony interior but it also has the tech package that I have no interest in. The ? is do I want to spend an extra $900 for something I have no use for. Al

Thank You for succinct, clear explanation. I appreciate it. Al

I think I read a post where they said to push the tow button while towing & this will change the tranny shift characteristics. Does every Ranger have this button or only tow equipped Rangers? Is the 7 wire plug for a brake controller? Does this come on non tow equipped Rangers? I believe it...

Thanks Rob, Did the 500 mile search & located two possible ones. Depends on what I want to give up or pay xtra for. Plus, they are both blue. I much prefer the silver. What's interesting is both are less than 60 miles away & only showed up in the 500 mile search which only reported results up...

Thanks for the replies. Don't need or really want a FX4. Around urban Ma. there is no place to reap the benefits of the package. I do want a supercab with the 302a package without the tech package. I also want the tow option. Around here that is as rare as hen's teeth. Going on the Ford site, I...

Time to replace my 1999 Ranger. Looking for a supercab XLT without technology package or fancy appearance add ons. Had the Admiral try to climb in a FX with the 18" tires & she really struggled to climb up. I do not want running boards. Think I have located one 50 miles away with 17" tires. Is...
