Ford Ranger Ricardo Build For U.S. Military

[Augie81]

Are those antennas?! I thought those were hand rails to get onto the roof...

I have no idea. They kind of look like very large versions of the Stubby antenna.

So that's why I made the comment/dumb joke.

Seriously the army had a ranger Rick ... But disguised it as Ricardo... Hmmm...

You would be utterly shocked at how much equipment and vehicles we leave in every country we enter.

Not left operational in enemy hands

Ricardo developed a secretive rollover protection system within the Ranger, but a lot of the info related to the Ricardo Ranger has not been released as it is for the Army. A large, stout roll cage was built into the pickup bed, and what is that we see peeking out from under the camo cover?
Oh, that’s a machine gun attached to the ring-mounted weapons system structure built into the roll cage. The bed and floor of the cab have been protected with thick armor. All glass is bullet-proof. Because of the added weight of these additions the front and rear bumpers are made from lightweight materials.

I know what my next mods are

Yeah that is just a biden thing, the rules and standard procedure is to scuttle anything we can't take back

If they call it anything other than the Rick rolling ranger it'll be a missed opportunity.

Well that was a let down, was hoping for machine guns and armor and those sliding doors for firearms

Um..Yea..ok sure thing..Perish the thought..

Other than Nam we maintained a presence with military bases after the war. Those used some of the equipment. Some non lethal material were sold off, some was scrapped. If you're abandoning like Afghanistan ya toss some thermite grenades on the helo's an blast the weapon depots with some C4. When I was in we were pretty good at destroying stuff, sometimes not intentionally.

Thats an amateur hour build.

Pffft...

Edit: I do want the center console though. I've been searching for a company that makes a metal full span center console and looks like the market is straight zero around the world for it.

Does it rattle endlessly at any speed? Check
Does it break down in the middle of a fire fight? Check
Does it look like its 20 years old, and been abandoned for years, but only has 2100 miles on the odometer? Check

Then yes its ready for military service!!

You forgot the feeling like you are re-entering the Earth's atmosphere if you get over 50 mph

This is just like the last time something similar was posted from here in the States.

This is NOT a military vehicle. It's some marketing teams IDEA of what a Ranger could be as a military vehicle. It's basically a SEMA build or a "concept" build.

That being said, that truck is NOT lifted on 35s. And why would you keep that retarded/slick plastic bed liner on a military build? The only thing worthy of a thumbs up on that thing is the color.

How dare you talk about a Ranger that way. This isn't some square bodied Army Reserve heap.

Gonna need you to get that Blue Oval tattoo removed now.

its dumb.

It might just be the green but I like it alot, could use some wheels though those are way to sunk-in for the aggressive look of the truck.

Me too. If I ever come into a windfall of spare cash I was considering trying a OD green wrap. I would do the flat panels myself and pay someone to do the more intricate parts.
