I absolutely loved my Ranger and I will be heartbroken and jealous when I see somebody driving it, but being in D.C. for another few years, gas prices and just the overall economy, we decided to trade it in and get a Honda Accord hybrid. The FPP tune was forcing me to buy 93 octane and that mixed with 18mpg was starting to hurt (50mpg sounded much better). I will definitely miss walking Silverados, Rams and civics from a red light and I will especially miss my RTR bling. I’ll likely still be lurking because this forum/the people on it are awesome, but I won’t be apart of the Ranger club anymore ? If you end up buying my truck, please take care of her!

Enjoy the new ride! I do understand where you are coming from, at least theoretically. I have a PHEV Jeep that I use around town, and with the .045 kWh energy charge (and free charging at some places), I rarely purchase fuel. about 95% of my miles are electric. Maybe a tough move back when my Ranger finally gets built.

It’s kind of impressive to even find a new hybrid on a lot anywhere.

Another person buys a truck, puts a tune that forces you to use 91 octane, then can't afford it...

Lol. "Miss walking silverados", funny.
In his defense, the current cost of gas is intended to make you feel this pain. Embrace the incredible transition and buy an EV!

I mean 93 octane vs 87 isn’t that big of a difference where I live, neither is the 18 vs 19.5 so… plus yeah the Silverado with a 6.2 is mid 5 seconds?

Take care Jesse. Maybe one day these crazy prices will come down and you can get yourself a nice new R6G. Heck why not go for it and get the Ranger Raptor! Good luck!!

I got my Jeep that way as well. And it being a PHEV I will get a $7500 tax rebate. a local dealer offered me about $1600 more for it today than what u bottom line is. That is after 28 days of ownership.

I will be gone soon as well. Have a 2019 4x4 Sabre supercab STX that I
will be trading it in once my F150 is built.

F150 being built on 7/1.

No complaints with the Ranger. Zero issues. Just need a larger truck.

Do care about gas prices. Will come down after brain dead out of office.

Yeah, especially when I got it for under MSRP!
I think Honda is just having an easier time making them. My replacement at work went out and got one - under MSRP as well; has an hour commute now and didn't want to murder his mustang in mileage.

Well, i am not by any means getting rid of my ranger. Hell no.

But.......................
Have been driving this 2005 prius :(

Only using the ranger to haul, or tow and date night for now.

Hope your not kicking yourself when prices get reasonable again, maybe...?
