50 years ago today - hard to believe - I know many of us owned a Ford F-150 at one time or another, myself included. 2006 White Super Cab F-150 XL with the 5.4 Liter V8 Triton engine (Motor Trend's Truck of the Year) - almost had it paid off until a friend of mine decided she was going to total...
I purchased my Ranger (Buckbeak) brand new on 2/20/25, which was a rainy Thursday evening after work. They put in a spray-on bed liner Friday, and I actually picked him up from the local Ford dealership, on a Saturday 02/22/20 -he had 101 miles. The clock clicked to 47K on Friday, 2/21, so my...

This is a Ranger Forum, but Kudos and Accolades to the Ford Mustang GTD for breaking the 7:00 minute mark at the Nurburgring - that's big time - first American branded car ever to do that. Hey, it's under the Blue Oval just like us Rangers...

Saw this in today's FA - while I prefer the 5G, it was nice to see the new 2024 Ranger win the MT comparison against the dark side...

This is my shocked look...
My local dealer hasn't had any new Rangers in stock for the past two years at least, save a special order. A couple of used ones, but that...
Out of curiosity, yesterday 10/05 I got on a chat with FOMOCO and wanted to see how many 2020 Ford Ranger XL 4X2 Supercabs were manufactured. I have a 2020 XL 4X2 Supercab Equipment Group 100A, Lightning Blue.
The person who I chatted with didn't have that information, so getting my contact...
