I've been tossing this around more the last 8 months since we moved here. There's only been 3 times I've needed a truck and one was to help my neighbor get a fridge. The other two were to pickup a dresser and nightstands for the spare bedroom. Now that all that's done I really have no use for one now but if I do there's a U-Haul down the street where I can rent any size I need for half a day.
Yeah that's what I said too, after 4 4x4 wagons ( Range Rover, Bronco, Nissan Pathfinder, 1St gen Kia Sorento) I got a truck, but I didn't like it - not that it was a truck, I liked that it, was just a POS truck. So I sold it and got a Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4 which I quite liked, but I missed the truck, so gave it to my wife after 2 years, and got the Ranger, which I still have and like 7 years later.

@AzScorpion:
Did you take the accessories off, like the tune?
I'm sure he will remove all the mod's from the Ranger and somehow adapt them to the Toyo.
Too bad he can't remove or recover the gallons of 303 products he used on the Ranger......

I didn't have my '23 tuned only my '19 was. I didn't add that much to this one but I did take off the pod lights & bracket and the bed mat. I couldn't find the factory bolts so I had to leave the damper on it. :shock::crying: No biggie, I think it helped in the negotiations. 💰

It's already for sale on their lot. They gave me $32,500 and are only going to make $3,000 on it and that's if they sell it for full asking price. I also got $2,865 off the msrp where most dealers out here in AZ wont budge off the sticker price.

Notice they even put the damper in the pictures! They know value when they see it. :captain:

When did you live in Rhode Island?

From the CarFax

Though I know I can't really trust the CarFax history because it has no mention of when the damper was installed.

The damper picture will surly attract those perspective buyers with "toothpick arms"........

Ranger Lariat FX4, chromed and forever damperless
FYI more facebook vid on Jeeps doing Black Bear Pass (one way only travel) above Telluride, even some shorter wheelbase vehicles need to back up to navigate the turns, 2 yrs back went up Imogene Pass, it was very busy and encountered several full sized pickups that had to execute multiple backups then forward on some of the twisties, personally have zero interest in driving on some these alpine roads, there can be traffic jams, unexperienced drivers and some who are either ignorant of or choose to ignore common etiquitte , but a lot of people love driving those type of roads and invest in vehicles that are capable. I made the mistake of having the wife as a passanger when I drove up Imogene Pass in the Ranger and she was constantly begging me to turn around .

You mention comfort in your decision to get the Camry. I thought the 5G Ranger was quite a comfortable ride. Even more so in the 6G. I like riding higher as well.
Having said all that, I kinda wish I had enough room in the driveway for a small beater car.
