Thank you for not dragging this post through the ditches with a hateful comments. There are many good discussion points brought to light.

All good points gentlemen. The incentives on the F-150 (factory and dealer) are almost $12k on the F-150's and practically none on the Rangers. This is unfortunate, but to be expected.

I am getting closer to buying a truck and have been sniffing around the local dealerships. Basically, I am looking for a crew cab, 4x4 on the lower end of the trim spectrum and was leaning towards a Ranger. I have been following the truck for months now. The Ranger pricing is interesting in...

I really wanted a Taco until I drove one. It took about 3 minutes for me to say, "um, no." Too bad because I like Toyota and I think the Taco looks the best in the segment. It was loud, anemic, not comfortable, and cramped.

I would be unfortunate if the wiring was not already there, however, I have installed a full kit on three vehicles that did not even have the 4-pin plug or a hitch. It is a full day install once you run all the wires, tie into the brake signal, install the relays, tidy everything up, etc...

I have run Old Man Emu on two rigs and currently one of my Jeeps. I have been very happy with their kits and quality. They often give you spring rate options depending if you are running bumpers, a winch, etc...

I have lifted over a dozen rigs, or better yet, every 4wd I have owned in 25 years got a lift kit. I have quite a bit of experience with different types of kits and manufactures over the years and there is no substitute for a good quality and well engineered kit from a solid brand. The key is...

I use K&N filters in all of my vehicles and have for about 25 years. In college, I had a '91 5.0L Mustang coupe with all of the bolt on performance modifications there were at the time without actually cracking open the engine block (gears, exhaust, ignition, intake manifold, etc...). I was...

I run with Jeep and off-road clubs, trips, meetings, etc... I could only imagine rolling up in a Ridgeline to a club meeting, touting about it being 'truck of the year'. I imagine most people trying not to all out laugh and attempt to be polite while thinking, "What a tool.", lol.

"Bro-Rivets", lol. I agree. What is with all of these fake bead lock wheels? My goal will be to fit the same type of wheel and tire on the Ranger that are on my Wranger in the below pic. These are 17x9's with a 305/65 (33x12.5).

Like most of us here, I am looking to buy a new truck in 2019 and the Ranger is on my list. I wanted to test drive the competition to make an informed decision, and here are my impressions. Also, like most of us, I have not had the opportunity to test drive the Ranger yet. The truck I buy...

Here in west Houston, at least on-line, I am not seeing any discounts on the Rangers yet. I assume the dealerships (as they should being a business) will let the first wave buy up the trucks at MSRP and start discounting them as inventory stabilizes. For most of us, unless you have to have it...

When I was a boy many years ago, my father had 2wd Ford F150's that he used for most of the reasons we buy trucks: towing a boat, hauling stuff, going to the deer lease, camping, fishing, etc... I remember being stuck trying to pull out boats on the ramp and needing help, or in the sand at the...

If the JL Wrangler's prices are any indication of what the JT's will be, it will be stupid expensive. My '17 Wrangler Unlimited sport stickered for $32k and the JL version is $10K more...just madness. I struggled with $30k for a base model Wrangler and the new one cost a lot more...ridiculous.

BFG 31x10.5 are only offered for a 15" diameter wheel and I doubt 15's will fit around the new Ranger's brakes (but don't know that for a fact). I am running KO2's on two of my Jeeps and they are 2nd to none. On my Wrangler, I am running the 285/75R16, which is the max for a 16x7" wheel, they...

Hello, I am a Jeeper (I have three) but other than my Wranglers, my other Jeep products have been very problematic, and I am looking into going a different direction. I'll keep my Wrangler for sure but the Grand Cherokee is a pile of junk and has to go before the warranty expires. I test...

When you need the bed, you will wish for the SCab. When you need the back seat, you will wish for the SCrew. College age me or maybe retired me would lean towards the SCab. Father me would have to go with the SCrew.

Its funny because I was thinking the same thing, "I hope this truck does not make those toddler chimes." I had not owned a Ford since my '96 full size Bronco other than a Fiesta for about 6 months that made all kinds of kiddie like chimes. I hopped in my coworker's Super Duty and the chimes are...
