Today, I stopped for gas on my way home. While pumping, a guy came up and was complimenting my truck. He was on his way from Florida to Virginia and owns a 5G, also. He wasn't driving it though. Made my day!

I get a laugh when people in big trucks ask me how well I fit in the Ranger and if I like it at gas stations. Not a little guy and have more than enough room... Guess they are bored waiting to fill up and might be looking to downsize as the pump goes over 100 dollars for them. It has happened four times in the last month and a half or so.

63k miles/1,230 days and still a happy camper. Took Cinco to the Biggest Week In American Birding (BWIAB) at Magee Marsh this week near Toledo, OH. Columbus a few days earlier, and Ford's Garage in Lakeland, FL a couple weeks before that.
She's a keeper. ???

I wince when I fill the tank on my decrepit '02 Honda CR-V, which normally runs me about $57.

However, the filled tank will last me 3 1/2-4 weeks, I can only imagine what drivers of full sized pickups are experiencing.

My 2020 Lariat 4x2 S/Cab is on it's second tank of ethanol free gasoline...

Second Ranger and smiled the whole time I owned the last one. I do have to say that new 2022 has been great and the dealer has been top notch. They have made follow up calls to make sure things are fine and if there were any issues...not to sell me something.
Yes there are still great dealers out there.
Smiling...yes indeed and will be for years I'm sure.

Still smiling. Just short of 43,000 miles. By the way, since my 40,000 mile service, my mpg has gone up to 24.4. Just keeps getting better. :clap:

Oh. I think that is an action shot, judging by the hands on the steering wheel. Judging by the tracks in the grass someone has been out hooning the Ranger.:like:

Very observant! :clap: Actually, my husband was backing it out of the carport. I needed an updated shot of ‘Ol Butterscotch.:)
