For my 2WD Dakota, I had a Shurtrax water bag, which always worked great for me. It is tied down in the bed . Had the same one for years, even through freezing and thawing. Don't need it now since the Ranger is 4WD.

I have nothing against Tacoma, other than I think they are ugly, so I didn't even drive one. I hate the front end and rear bumper design, Just looks weird to me. If not the Ranger I would have bought a Colorado. They are about as nice looking as Ranger IMO. But the Ranger powertrain slays it...

Love the way the Turbo sounds with WOT. I do it often, whenever I see some open road. Love the all black interior including almost total blackout dash on the XL . Love the Sync voice control. Love the compliments I get almost daily on the truck, and the stares from people trying to figure...

Maybe I'm late to the party, but have you driven another Ranger to see if it's just yours? Or maybe another Ranger owner drives yours? I love the ride of my Ranger and came from a Dodge Dakota that rode similar to my Ranger. If you have done these things I am sorry for being redundant.

I know for sure that mine works. Last night I was entering a highway on the ramp, accelerating rapidly to merge, when the car in front of me decided to slow down almost to a stop .The windshield lit up with the red lights for the collision assist and I believe a loud buzzing sound went off, it...
