i bet some of our members have gotten more air than that lol. I think I may have but it was not on purpose.
I always wondered who ended up buying this one from the dealer that Hardy “test drove” .

This is driving the snot out of it, and then some.

This is kind of near where I live. I saw that video right after it happened and I had to watch it a couple of more times. Extremely violent.
Very sad, the driver was a 70 something year old woman. Not sure if she had some kind of medical crisis while driving or what, but sadly she died in that wreck (in case it wasn'tobvious). That house she hit was pretty much totalled too.
I drove by it the next day, in my new Ranger of course! It was pretty nasty.

Given how much driveline shudder I get using a soft foot... I don't think my popcan on wheels will survive long.

I drive mine. 2020 with a Livernois tune. All else is stock. I tow our 91 Mustang to the track with it, drop off the Mustang, drop off the trailer and then meet my son in the staging lanes for a father/son face off. He always wins but, it is pretty cool to see a seemingly stock Ranger turning mid-14 second passes.

Interesting that he was commenting about the suspension, and it mirrors exactly what @P. A. Schilke had said about their design goals for the off-road tuning of the suspension. "You can really carry a lot of speed in this truck..." , and "... it's so stable...".

Gettin' it done, without excess drama.

That is F#$@ing awesome. Looking forward to doing the same with one of my boys a few years from now.
