I like that it doesn’t have a red fx4 as that would like terrible against the orange
Really? You mean red... just like the tail lights? I'm thinking red would look better. The two tone red in the decal would pop.

Opinions vary :wink:

I think you're right, as a matter of choices, I think most colors would work well except broccoli green, but that's just me.:crazy:

On yours the red looks good.
Like you said, there's an ass for every seat.

Green and yellow make brown?

Red and orange don’t go well together.

I took the new Ranger out for our first shakedown drive yesterday. I gotta say, I'm pretty excited about this truck. I found some nice rough country roads with hills and curves to put it through its paces and get the engine running up and down through the rev band. I got on the brakes hard a few times to bed in the rotors and pads, and after that there was none of the weird jerkiness in stopping that I felt when I drove it home from the dealer. I thought the FX4 suspension was superb on really crappy pavement at around 50 mph. It just ate up the bumps. Much smoother than my recently departed Jeep Wrangler, and still not at all wallowy like some reviews I read described it. And, most important of all, my sweetie loves the new truck. She loves the Cyber Orange (which to be honest, I'm still getting accustomed to). She was really excited about the power adjustable seats, and if it hadn't been 80 degrees warm out, she would have turned on the heated seat. We both agreed this is the must luxurious vehicle we've owned. So comfortable on the freeway too, and I got to try out the adaptive cruise control which surprised me at how useful that feature is. Hopefully, we'll be trying out the 4wd soon.

Looks like you dig the sport bikes. When I lived in Pensacola the roads were flat an boring so I assume you either hit a track or head for the Ga hills for some switchbacks.

Track only. I do have a dual sport that I sometimes ride to nearby trails. But I don’t ride the sport bikes on the road anymore. P
