I'm too old to deal with any warranty issues. If I had no choice when younger going with the cheapest monthly payments on a vehicle that could get me the job, then Nissan would be an option. I'm way past that now and avoid dealers at all costs. The Ranger that was totaled never seen the dealer...
I've heard nothing but bad things about Nissans drivetrains, would never chance it. We buy new vehicles every five years (reducing our children's inheritance) but warranty visits don't appeal to me. I've heard about rear diff failures on the Ranger and one week before the diff was rebuilt due to...
Gave up trying to buy a Raptor, every dealer wanted 20+k markup. Bought a Tacoma TRD. I'm thinking it doesn't matter what I own God what's me alive, maybe a punishment? Lived through many cycle accidents racing and now this. I think I'm just getting punished now.
Have nothing but praise for the...
Just changed the oil. no service ever from any dealer (retired master mechanic). No payments, cash only buyer. So, looking at a dealer for a Raptor tomorrow. We've thought about going down to one vehicle for a few years, now may be the time. Still don't know I escaped pretty much unscathed, some...
No, she made her exit and drove on. Crazy drivers out there with no concern for human life. I don't really care anymore, after the third trip to the er I gave up racing mc's. That policy hasn't kept me out of the er. Might have to get back into it. Waiting for the dealer to order a Raptor...
All I remember is seeing a baby in a car seat and cranking the wheel right into the side of a hill. Woke up in the emergency room with a dozen people working on me. CHP and helo-crew saying that this should have been a fatal accident. Wife and son showed up, doctor came in told the staff to...
Have no complaints on that Ranger, Miss my V-8 Raptor other than washing-waxing it twice a week! I'm getting too old to go through another build and maybe a Ranger Raptor will eliminate some garage time.? But I'm stupid and old so who knows.
No big deal, home hanging out. Last time in em was...
50+years of racing motorcycles I'm use to the ER. The hidden winch still worked and the engine started and no check engine light. They built these Rangers right. I was hoping to check if the a/c still blew cool but the insurance company towed if off before I could get back to the yard. On to the...
Hit and run, the bill is on me. I'm use to it not a life changer. Heading out to do some shooting with buddies at the trap range pretty much just a normal Tuesday. Weird hearing the chp officer and paramedics in the em saying I'm probable fatal then walking out on my own the next day.
No, some soccer mom almost missed her exit. Helicopter ride was pretty cool anyway.
Still have a fairly new motorcycle and a year-old Outback wilderness, no rush to replace the ranger.
I was a 100% within 8-hours. They found some old dirt bike racing damage but nothing new. I miss my truck already, hard to decide if starting the new build is worth it at my age.
24-hours in the hospital, walked out on my own. The chp and helo crew couldn.t believe I was alive. Pit maneuvered @ 70mph by a reckless driver Head-on into the side of a hill and flipped three times. The Ranger is gone now, and I need to decide if replacing it and modifying it to replace the...
I'm 65 and don't care to impress anybody by what I drive. The Ranger I modified for what I need, little lift, little bigger tires and winch. It gets better fuel economy then my old V-8 Raptor (double on regular verses premium) so the Raptor sits in the garage and the Ranger gets the mileage. I...
Same here, my 2003 7.3 F250 Odyssey batteries were 11-years old when I sold the truck and still tested at 100%. I installed new Odyssey batteries in all my new vehicles within 6-months of purchase, nothing worse than a bad battery at the worse time.
I retired from a city's vehicle maintenance facility and we had a serious issue with police vehicles battery life, most would kill a battery every week. As an experiment we used Oddesy batteries and the issue went away. All the police vehicles were switched to Oddesy batteries and occasionally...
I replaced my 2021's battery within a month with an Oddesy battery, same with my wife's new Rav4. Military spec batteries and the best.
My old 7.3 Diesel the Oddesy's were 11-years old and still 100% when I sold the truck.
