I've never kept a vehicle that long,I'm at just over 17K after 25 months. I usually trade them in every 3 years for a business write off so I'll never see 100K.

Out of curiosity, would you get another Ranger?I've never kept a vehicle that long,I'm at just over 17K after 25 months. I usually trade them in every 3 years for a business write off so I'll never see 100K.
More than likely yes, I love my Ranger! But I'll admit Ford has had their problems lately (both mechanically and cosmetically) so I'm being cautious and will follow the Bronco, Maverick and Lightning launches closely. I wouldn't buy a first year run, been burned a few times doing that before. I'm really hoping for the PHEV Ranger and seeing what comes of the Ranger Raptor.Out of curiosity, would you get another Ranger?
You're on top of the chart!Looks like I’ve got you both beat. Picked mine up July 2019. Between co vehicle, Covid, working from home and a back injury since almost new she‘s currently sitting in my garage like new with 2,312 miles.
early June 2019How long have you owned it?
Good point. I waited a year and got a 2020. No problems and only one recall so far and that was an insert for the owner's manual.More than likely yes, I love my Ranger!

FORD Ranger owners right off the bat have bragging rights just because it's not a freaking toyota!Just want to know if it's going to blow up or I can start bragging about its longevity like Taco drivers.
Dave (@AzScorpion), I’m really glad to hear that. I want a PHEV also but more importantly, this means you won’t be abandoning this forum for a boring Bronco forum. No other forum has people like Duke (@DukeCanBuildit) that track you down for a welfare check when we noticed you went silent.More than likely yes, I love my Ranger!

No worries Al, the Bronco forum can't hold a candle to this one! Duke @DukeCanBuildit is our very own CSI detective here. lol It was heartwarming to know he went through all that to find me, and a little scary that he did. ?Dave (@AzScorpion), I’m really glad to hear that.

I will also be needing your technical expertise to help me remove the factory damper on my new PHEV Ranger. You know what this means, right? Endless damper feuding!
It wasn’t that much trouble - when someone posts as many times as you do, there’s bound to be a pretty good trail of bread crumbs. ?No worries Al, the Bronco forum can't hold a candle to this one!

As far as the damper on the new PHEV Ranger goes, I'll have to have a talk with greg @gfitzge2 about that. I'm sure he still has some friends inside MAP who can weld yours so it can't be taken out. One way or another you're going to be part of the club before I die.

Detective Duke! That has a nice ring to it.It wasn’t that much trouble - when someone posts as many times as you do, there’s bound to be a pretty good trail of bread crumbs. ?
