How I got my Ranger to stop bouncing

[NotBudule]

I was in the F150 Lightning today, and it felt like business class.

Did you get to drive it ?

I ended up buying the Bilstein shocks, but it didn't help at all. So I bought a F150 to get the bouncing to stop.
No seriously......I did, but only because my husband had a hard time getting in and out of the Ranger, due to his size. He's very happy now that he's not driving a "baby" truck. I know I am going to miss my Ginger terribly.

BTW, I called the dealership I bought it from and offered to sell it back to them. The GM remembered me, and that fact that I bought a Ranger after 2 years had gone by. After he ran the numbers, etc....he called me back to also let me know that there wasn't much of a market for Rangers in his area, that they sat on the lot whenever he got one, and they usually sell them to the dealership down the street. I will admit I don't see very many on the road.

Also, who else has stuttering problems when driving 30-45 mph? They changed my spark plugs but it only helped slightly. One of the other reasons I decided to get rid of her. The truck did it since I bought it.

Did he ask for a picture prior to meeting you and y'all getting married....of the truck? lol

I don't care what the interwebs say, the Sport Trac is wider.

Maybe it is overall but apparently not in the hips.

no, it got damaged in Shipping and they were sending it to the shop after i saw it.
I didn't see what was damaged, but they weren't going to do test drives until it was done.
told me I can come back after that, but i might be away working again by then.

To much truck for me but I still want to drive one ...

 

[NotBudule]

me too, i was a little disappointed that i couldnt
I drove the MachE a few months back and it wasnt the GT, but it still ripped ad was fun to drive.

I actually forgot about the MachE , I need to see if dealer has any I can test out ...

thanks, I will definitely check that out.

What I'm getting from this, is your husbands a fat **** and you pay his way? Isn't this/was your truck...?

yes? lol
It's both our trucks, but he didn't have a choice when I bought it. I bought it myself. lol

If a dealer GM or salesman’s mouth is moving he is lying. He was attempting to get you to sell it to him as cheap as possible.

Actually, he told me I should have taken the trade in the Ford dealership (we bought the F150 at) offered. They offered 28,000 but I was wanting 32000. He said they couldn't beat the 28.

GOOD NEWS!!!!

I get to keep Ginger!!! We usually have 3 vehicles around here, but I had sold my stupid "baby" SUV a year ago, so now this will be the 3rd vehicle!!!

 

[Yikes1961]

This some kinda Freudian slip? Did he get run off with a shotgun blast?

The husband or the truck?? lol

 

[Yikes1961]

Great thread another a hole blocked

not sure what that means? I thought my post was amusing.

 

[Yikes1961]

OP's husbands hip size must be at least 55.8"

he's tall. We have both bonked our heads many times getting in the truck, and I'm only 5'4".

Did he ask for a picture prior to meeting you and y'all getting married....of the truck? lol

lol. He came before the Ranger.

 

[Yikes1961]

Sorry, but WTF does that mean?

I wondered the same

 

[Yikes1961]

Please tell me you didn't actually sell him your Ranger. Whatever his offer was, he was lowballing you and his "not much of a market" excuse was a made up justification for the offer.

Think his story through for a second: there's another dealership down the street that is in the same market as him that is supposedly more than happy to take these trucks off his hands, and goodness knows he isn't selling them to the other dealership at a loss.

no we didn't, but we were going to take the 28,000 offer the sell it back to the dealership we bought the F150 from, but changed our mind and are now keeping her.
