[TylerV76]

Those aren't US market, right?

As of right now, no. This was just outside of Detroit so likely a test vehicle since its wearing a manufacturer plate.

No picture, but a beautiful Oxford White Ranger passed me today. It had silver mirrored RANGER letters on tailgate. Sharp-looking truck!

This was my first encounter with a Ranger in the wild. December 29th 2015. The Woodlands TX.
I also saw a white Limited about two years ago on my way to Galveston, also had SA plates.

I haven't seen one in a while here until today. I was trying to catch up to him but I was getting off the next exit. Before @IdahoRanger asked NO that Silver Alert was not for me! ?

Saw two at the same time at the McDonald's drive-thru, but could only snap a photo of one.

Saw a pair of Rangers at the Menards here in town (the one on top of the hill) last weekend. One was a Hot Pepper Red with chrome tailgate letters. We passed each other at the yard gate and they slowed and stared at mine as we passed. The other was a magnetic crewcab with the same model topper as mine sitting in the parking lot as I was walking in. I had thought mine was the first in the area to get a topper, but apparently I was wrong.

I've seen quite a few over the past year, but today during my coffee run (~10 miles round trip) I saw three. They're definitely becoming a lot more common.

I was very excited the other day. I come rolling back into the precinct parking lot to see a new Ranger parked outside with a drive out tag. It turns out it's one of the guys who is the supervisor on the opposite shift! He came in to do some school work in the quiet of his office and took his new truck in instead of his patrol car! It's a beautiful chrome package 2 wheel drive XLT in black. It looks sharp!

Hi Phil,

Thanks! But as you can see mines still covered in dirt from off roading out in Wickenburg last weekend. Now that it's 106 out It'll have to wait until early one morning to get a bath.

On a side note I almost didn't get my Ranger back. I let my girlfriend drive it Sunday morning when we were going out shooting. It was early and it's about a 26 mile ride,the last 3 are off road through some sandy washes. So we get to the trail and she looks at me like "do you want to drive now" so I told her to keep going. She was nervous at first but then she had a big grin on her face and drove all the way out there. She'd never driven a truck before let alone off road and she's 5' nothing and can barely see over the dash. lol Now she can't wait to come back and drive it again. Who knows there could be another Ranger in the family when she finally moves out here. Or I'll be waking up in the morning and mine will be gone!

Looks like you have created a truck thief, Ha Ha.

Lol Bad enough I might have lost half my guns but now she likes my Ranger!

When I first moved out here and asked her if she wanted to go shooting she was like "You want me to shoot a gun"? Now she loves it and asks me before she even gets here "Are we going to be able to go shooting"? Next she'll be taking my truck and guns and going without me!

I have yet to see another one in Connecticut. Colorados are pretty popular out here too.

Anthony, I thought mine was the only one in CT?

Wasn't able to snap a pic but spotted a nice black(i believe it was FX4 with raptor grille) in Target parking lot by the Mall of GA, sweet set up. My gf actually mocked me cause she said what are you gonna go over and see what lift he has (think she's tired of me going back and forth between a spacer level and lift kit)
