Anybody here miss their F-150?

[beetlespin]

I like my 2019 Ranger. I've put 14,000 miles on it already mainly going back and forth to work and one trip from NJ to NC on a fishing trip towing the boat. The truck does everything I need it to do, but, I am missing my 2013 F-150 3.5 Ecobeast. The most I probably miss is the huge cabin with the recliner like bucket seats. Plus I was able to fold up the back seat and have a ton of room back there. Unfortunately, trade in values on these trucks is not very good. A $45,000 truck is now worth $28,000 on a trade. Talk about depreciation. $17,000 is a bit hard to swallow. Anyway, anybody else miss their F-150?

Nope! Not that I ever had an F-150, but I have had one as a Loaner when my Ranger was in the shop. What I seriously Don't miss is the 2017 Tacoma that i traded in for the Ranger!

2006 F150 was my last one and had it until 2013. Don't miss the 12-16 mpg's or the size.

I miss my 2015 Ram. There was a lot more room and it was just fun driving a full-size V8 truck. I don’t miss all of the bad things about full-size trucks, though - handling, maneuverability, giant blind spots, difficult city parking, etc.. I didn’t tow anything, no off-roading, didn’t use it for moving too many large objects. All things considered, I am quite happy with my Ranger and I made the right choice for what I need it for.

Had 2018 and 2016 F150s prior to the Ranger. I miss the larger comfy cabin and they drove really nice. So far gas mileage is about the same or slightly better in the Ranger but not the primary reason for my change. I don't miss the terrible turning radius and difficulty parking. I'll wait and see how I feel in a year or two... I may switch back to the F150.

If my 97’ F150 Extended Cab, step side could have been rebuilt, lowered and engine swapped to make it a Lightning by Chip Foose, then I would miss it.
Other wise, love my Ranger.
Just need AMP Research to get off thy rear and make some power steps.

The big depreciation is to be expected since Ford was just recently offering $10,000 in rebates on them.

I had an F250 Super Duty and a Nissan Frontier Pro4X before this.

Super Duty was great just HUGE.

2018 Nissan Pro4X was a POS and I only kept it 6 months I hated it so much.

No more Nissans for me.

As already mentioned I miss the interior room. Even putting a car seat in for my grandson is a huge PITA in the Ranger. Miss the sun roof and the electric sliding rear window. Don’t miss the 15 mpg. Will never have another full size truck. The added gas mileage and the extra room in my garage make up for everything I miss about the F-150.

Not one bit! It served it's purpose when I needed a full size truck for business back east and also towing snowmobiles up north to Maine and Canada. Now the Ranger fits my needs just perfect and as a bonus it fits in my garage even with the tailgate down. No way I'm spending 40K+ on any vehicle and leaving it outside.

I had a 2004 F-150 with the 4.6, Supercrew XLT. It was a nice truck, but you could tell it could use more power and the mileage was not great. I do miss it sometimes, but honestly aside from the interior being a bit larger, I don't really miss it. I feel like the current Ranger is perfect sized, at least for everything that I want to do with it.

I bet nobody misses Fords old 2 piece spark plug design that would break off inside the engine when you change them. I don't know what year they stopped doing that but it was the stupidest thing.

Had a '05 f150 and a '01 f250 super duty. Don't miss the gas mileage, but do miss the capacity sometimes.

Don't miss the wife's '13 F-150, we still have it. I agree with the lack of crewcab storage area in the Ranger. Nothing like the F-150. But I didn't buy the Ranger for the backseat storage. I love my new Ranger as much as my old '96 Ranger (still have it too).

I drove F150's that my employer had. Other than lots of interior room, I see no benefit of the large truck. I am totally happy with my Ranger

2005 F-150 XLT - owned from new for 131,000 miles.. traded in on the 2020 Ranger. Miss the room in the bed, but definitely do not miss the 11mpg!!
