First time I've ever had equity in a vehicle. I was mulling over the idea of buying an F250 to tow my cargo trailer with, but the Ranger tows it well enough. I looked at the Ford build and price tool. For the same options that my Ranger has, the F250 would be $100K.

People keep expecting me to volunteer. I learned my lesson in Ft lost in the woods in 1980. Traveled Rt66 last fall. Drove right by there. Had no interest in going there again, lol. Oddly enough, my brother enlisted the following year, sent to Ft Leonard Wood for basic training and the same...

Huh, if you drain it, how do you fill it?

Or the fact that they get more work done from home and no longer want to commute so the high performers quit. The low to middle performers were forced to take up the slack without a corresponding pay increase, meanwhile corporations are announcing record earnins and profits. That two hour...

I've been visiting/traveling in Southeastern Colorado for the last few days (Tarantula migration anyone?). I've seen most of the trucks around here have armored bars covering the front end. This explains why. I haven't had to drive much at night, but the black angus on the side of the road...

Damn sorry to here that. I missed the thread...now I need to go research

you got rid of your Ranger?

No, it rides fine. It's simple physics. Why do you think the max air pressure on my tires says 80 pounds? On the crappy hancooks it's 35, or something ridiculous like that.

Different size tires will have different air pressure requiresments. If using the stock tire size, go by what the door sticker says. That only applies to stock tires. If you change to larger tires and/or LT tires, you will need to adjust the tire pressure accordingly. I run 50 to 55 pounds in my...

That should be an automatic fail on a drivers exam

Mine will do that occasionally from 10th to 9th. long pause, then slams into gear. Its annoying. It hasn't done it in awhile, but I've not been driving it in awhile, either. Its done it when I've been towing and the rare times it went into 10th and then back into 9th. When towing at hwy speeds...

People brake with their left foot? Who taught them how to drive? JHFC, people aren't that dumb, are they?

Almost 49k miles on my 2020 Ranger and it brakes fine. Why would the dealer turn them? Its cheaper to replace with new rotors...oh, never mind

I'm waiting fort the day that the manager in charge of deleting features from new models deletes the crash bars as an unneccary cost item.

I get the coffee cup once in awhile on a long drive. Its not becuase I'm wandering in my lane, nope.

They come with the OME springs. Because they aren't cheap parts, you know?

I'm running 50 in mine. Still feels kinda soft ;)

I thought the valve stem looked pretty crusty, too. backside of the valve looks good, however.

Eff those guys. Can't get anything straight in the service dept. Last oil change I drove to Yankee Ford to have it done. When my windshield broke, went there to have it replaced and they farmed it out. They gave the glass replacement people the wrong VIN and the glass replacement people put in...

I worked for an automotive parts supplier famous for its belts and hoses. One small operation made trunk trim parts from plastic fiber, usually recycled polyester and polypropylene fibers blended together. the poly pro had a lower melting point than the polyester so when it was heated to the...
