I have never understood the:
Harley vs. Foreign Motorcycle Drama
Jeep vs. Bronco Drama
Ranger vs. Toyota Drama
or...all the other Brand loyalty and brand bashing "drama". We are all on 2 wheels, lets respect each other. We are all 4X4 enthusiasts, lets respect each other and also realize that at various times in history all Brands have made crap and good vehicles.

Where am I going with this, or why?:
Today I was at the local Wally World (heh....they have my Viagra real cheap). When I was leaving and getting ready to open my door I heard a loud and aggressive male voice shout, "Fuc_in Ford Ranger". The shout came from a passing vehicle, a Nissan Frontier pickup, an older model. The voice was loud and aggressive and put me on immediate guard. The fool drove off. What a way to cause unnecessary drama, alarm or confrontation! Why?! Granted I have a cyber orange Ranger and it stands out...but the Ranger is beautiful and stands out. Was he just jealous on the inside? Probably. Asses like this do not realize that we have worked our butts off to afford our rides. These are the same jealous a-holes that vandalize our rides

Lets be better then this guy and love our choices but also respect others.

Those types are usually on a grindr 'hunt' - mistook you for someone else apparently.

You haven’t seen the videos I take it?
They are pretty funny!
I think some just take offense right off the bat,A little back and forth is what makes the world go round some days.

People get shot for far less, so why the angst ? The last time I heard "why can't we all just get along" was from a former next door neighbor who despite repeated attempts from my wife and I to control his barking dog all proved to be futile, I said keep your dog quiet and well get along fine, of course he refused so I followed due process .
Since the very dawn of mankind humans have not just gotten along and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

"Fuc_in Ford Ranger"

That's a thing on TikTok. Generally speaking it's targeted toward older Rangers that are doing something that should be impossible for a small truck. Like an older Ranger hooked up and pulling a huge trailer, a Ranger pulling a big full sized truck out of a mud hole, or a Ranger jumping. I don't know why the guy shouted it in an angry fashion, but when a Ranger is shown doing something and the "Fuc_in Ford Ranger" song is used it generally depicts the truck in a positive light... Like the little truck that could and the little truck you just can't kill.

You have to give him a little slack.....You'd be miserable too if you were driving a Nissan Frontier. ? ?

But I agree I never understood the ones who are on the Bronco forum and hate Jeeps and vise versa. I have an appreciation for all makes and models and those who drive them. Sure I kid about Taco guys but it's really not them as much as Toyota and the Tacoma. It really is a terrible truck (3rd Gen) and was the worst I've ever owned. With that said...Great post!!!

It’s from Tiktok: Video warning, strong language
Here is the interesting thing. Just look around and notice how you see way more old Ford Rangers still running around vs. any other old compact trucks. You see more old Rangers then old Toyotas (frames probably rotted out), Nissans, and pretty much any small truck from that era. Heck you hardly ever see an S10 anymore. Those have all been hauled off to the junk yard, but old Rangers are still running all over the place.

Ford sold way more rangers than anyone else did their little trucks during that era.

The Ford motor & trannys were/are arguably much better than anyone else's for that class of vehicle too.
