Best part its in both configurations xD
Btw who here gets excited seeing another ranger while driving a different vehicle?
I always get excited anytime I see another Ranger. Saw a Saber the other day that had a huge, wide, black, stripe that started on the front side and narrowed as it went to rear panel. Not able to get a picture, but it looked fantastic!:inlove:

Ok, not my first encounter. BUT...here I am sitting on my front porch with my husband when this BEAUTIFUL Saber Ranger moseys on by, very slowly. I don't exactly live in town. It's 7 miles to the nearest town. Shocked me at first. Sure wish they had stopped & let me know how they're enjoying their Ranger. :inlove: :turkey:

I bought mine back in August of 2019 and over the year and a half after I purchased it I've seen the ranger population grow to immense numbers here in southern NC. I see them quiet a bit on the roads to and from work and I've tried to start waving at them like the Jeep people all have a wave but only a handful actually wave back. Maybe one day it'll catch on! My only regret is I never knew about this forum until at the beginning of this year :(

Yes, a lady in a black Ranger with silver tailgate letters, slowly went past me while I waited at a stop sign. She totally ignored me and my beautiful RANGER.. Very few folks (Ranger owners) in my area will wave.?‍♀ Funny thing is, most other truck owners DO wave.

Do we have a special wave yet?
A secret code?
I feel awkward just plain waving at other ranger owners...we need something unique
I think as a collective we could have a poll on something unique or different. As for now a simple wave is what I do but I mostly get weird glances and stares and the occasional head nod.

The only "wave" I've gotten is from the guy living at the end of the street who owns a blue XLT - haven't met each other yet, but we've waved at each other a couple of times in passing. Maybe people are too afraid of getting shot if they wave at other vehicles...or they're just too self-absorbed to even notice ?‍♂

That's been my experience as well....most don't even notice. I did see a guy in a new Ranger driving by my house a couple of weeks ago slow down and seem to admire mine in the driveway.

I got to say "Hi" to the "Walmart Ranger" owner last week. I see it parked in the same spot every week when the wife and I go shopping.

He was walking to his truck after getting off work or maybe going on break. I gave him the thumbs up and the wife told him how I point at it every week and say "Look, Ford Ranger." :D
