The Bronco is horrible.
Good thing you’re looking at a Ranger Raptor and not a Bronco?. The actual bronco looks cool though.. bronco sport looks lame.. personal opinion….
Keep the 5G…
And get a hot pepper RR?.. and call them “The Twins”…
Big flexing… honestly I give terrible financial advice so it would be wise to not listen to me.?

If I get a 25 RR it will be Hot Pepper and I will keep the 19 and look for an old ranger (OG) to be painted in the same scheme. Triplets

Ahhhh if I had the money I’d be doing stuff like that… Wifey would look at me cross eyed ?. Like wtf are you thinking and why!? .. my reply “well the kids will need a vehicle one day right?”?… and hope she forgets I said that and never finds out the real reason.
I love the idea of the Tiplets

The RR would be an awesome upgrade. But if you're on the fence, just give your Ranger a nice name to be more personal to you, and forget the RR, for now!
I agree the Bronco Sport may be crap, but I had an Outer Banks for a loaner and I did not hate it! The 360° camera was really cool.

If you have the money and no extra burdens are put on you.. Get you a new ranger.

My dad is in his 70s. He loves the thrill of making a deal and getting a new car. So that's what he has been doing.. Well he has always done it, here lately it's a bit excessive but it's his money.

I like keeping my vehicles for as long as I can, maintain them myself and tinker on them when possible.

I bought my ranger right off the truck. First thing I did was a tune. It now has 100k, here recently I've installed a gfb diverter and exhaust. Intercooler is next. I love feeling the differences. To me it's like getting a new car.

I was tempted with the 2025 RR but the lack of availability gave me more time to think it over. Between new payments, the premium gas and lower towing, it didn't make sense to replace my current ranger at the moment. If there was one on the lot, not sure I'd have come to the same conclusion.

I decided to put some love (and money) into my current Ranger and see where that takes me.

But man, the RR looks like it would leave a permanent grin on my face. One day.

I like most things about my Ranger, but the 5’ bed iis not one of them.

While I’m a Ford guy, if I buy a new mid size truck, it will have a 6’ bed. That leaves Nissan and Toyota.. Don't have info on GMC/Chevrolet..

Maybe a used 5G Supercab… if I can find one.

I will look for a 2025 Raptor in 26 or 27
there will be low miles ones on the market from people that couldnt afford the payment or maybe a dealer that still has one laying around on the lot that couldnt sell it....
Oh I want one LOL I am just not willing to put out full bump retail then add all the bolt ons after too

Any time I get the itch to upgrade, I just start running numbers and then I don't want to take on another car payment, especially at today's interest rates... hard to beat the 0% that i've got on my truck now, and its only got about a year left of payments.

That said, I just go and get some new parts for my truck and that renews my love for it all over again. Like throwing an exhaust on the other week got me all excited for the truck again.

I think you should keep your current HPR Kevin and if you have money to burn get the RR in HPR.
For me Lucille is all the truck I will ever need and I have dumped a bunch of money in her so she is one of a kind and my truck. Now if I won the lottery MMMMMMMMMMMMM I can only dream. I really do like Hot Pepper Red. When I bought my Ranger I specifically wanted the Iconic silver SCAB. My Mom said why didn't you get Red. LOL. I hadn't seen a HPR live other wise I might have??

If you are going to get it, now's a good time. Ford is offering employee pricing to everyone until June 2. Could save you a few grand.

I believe the Raptor is excluded from that offer. Typically anything that comes from the Ford Performance group does not get the discounts...
