Not converted, more like can’t let go. Purchased her new in 2004 and has only 23,000 miles. Still in love with it. Maybe someday I’ll sell her but just not ready.

Very nice! I traded in a 2004 F-150 in February that had only 195,000 miles. But, it was time, lol.

Question: How in the hell does it only have 23,000 miles on it in 16 years?! That's an average of around 1,400 miles a year.

Don't let go, man... don't ever let go!

Thank you very much.. I guess you can tell i have serious OCD lol. She’s now turned into my pride and joy.. in the first two years of ownership i put 11,000 miles on it driving quite a distance to work. Then I switched jobs and got a company truck and put it in the garage and started to preserve it. Ive probably changed it up 10 times since ive owned it lol.. I would take it out on weekends only for short trips. And started to really modify it and dumping tons of cash into it when my warrant expired. Before you know it i didnt want to drive it at all lol.. I have a neighbor that works for ford that maintained it through the years for me so i never had an issue with it at all, I did all the other maintenance, oil changes etc and detailing myself, never once went through a car wash and was never driven in snow. I also had/have a Highlander to get around for vacations and other things id never take this truck to. It amazes me too but time flys and now a days i get the same reply as the fellow bellow. Nooo its not a 2004 its gotta be a 2014? It’s funny seeing their reactions.. one time About 2 years ago i was offered 20k for it from a mechanic at Gas station while getting gas. I also took it to my dealer for a trade in price when i bought my ranger, first he said a 2004? We dont even have resale/trade in books for it anymore its too old. Then he looked at it, offered me 8k which was a joke, then went up to 11k and i still turned it down. I just couldn’t part with it for that little. Ive prob got 8-10k invested in it between stereo upgrade, wheels tires, Magnaflow exhaust, Harley grille, retrofit headlight. Bilstien shock and struts, Amp research steps, independent power fold mirror mod, moonroof, backflip, power tailgate lock and on and on.. Its got no dings chips or rust. ill prob never let it go now but never say never i guess. It also was Truck of the Month winner on a F150 Forum. But yes it really is a 2004 lol. Ive got tuns of other pics of her. Thanks for the compliment, I’m glad its appreciated even on a ranger forum.

I can understand the mileage now! Very nice truck. My 2005 had 137,000 miles on it, dings/dents, etc when I traded it in on my Ranger.. I can see why you want to keep yours!

everything is a compromise - my ranger fits my life very well, it is easy to park, fits in the garage and hauls as decent amount of stuff in the bed. Now its is just me and my wife most of the time. I do have a cover for the back so when we go somewhere the stuff can fit in the back but I remember the F150- the back seat folded up with a flat floor so that most of the time, everything fit well back there so most of the time, the bed was extra. I loved driving the F150 until I got where I was going and had to find a good place to park it.

Thank you, aside from the 12mpg. For a 2004 I still think its miles ahead of the ranger in quality. The paint is amazing, not so much on the Ranger and just little things like factory memory adjustable pedals, memory seats, moonroof, power sliding rear window etc. Cant understand why our trucks don't have any of these options at least memory seats. Still do love my ranger but not like the F150.
