It wouldnt happen to be 48” or wider between the wheelwells in the bed would it? I could totally see justifying this purchase just to throw a plywood sheet flat back there haha. Ours is like 43-44” and I’ve chipped a few sheets
Badazzz ..yep, I previously said my lariat Tremor was "almost" as good as the Ranger Raptor and I wasn't interested and didn't need it and....blah, blah blah........well, I went for it and bought one today!!!....My Tremor was having tranny issues and the dealer did the valve body replacement 1,000 miles ago......and was kinda giving me the run around when I said I wanted it fixed the right way with either the CDF drum replaced or a new tranny as per the TSB.....but was getting lots of pushback from the same dealer......and the tranny was getting worse.....much worse actually as was really slow shifting and then slamming into gear.....it previously almost left me stranded and I had it towed to the dealer.......and I was done trying to convince the dealer to keep it for a day or 2 and drive the shit out of it to see for themselves.......all the dealer wanted to do was have the tranny tech "check it out"......I'm no dummy...that means "it's fine and that's how it suppose to feel".....
So Carmax offered me $30,000 for my Tremor and there is a Lariat Tremor exactly like mine within 10 miles from me at a Lexus dealership listed for $34,500....so I figure I could sell mine to a private party and wait weeks and weeks or try to trade-in knowing a Ford dealership might pay a lil more then Carmax.....
Long story short, the dealer gave me $31,00 which was actually $1,000 more then I was going to settle for.......and I got the $4,000 mark-up down to $2,000 over which isn't bad for So CA!.....I thought about buying from a dealer out of state for msrp but with driving back and/or shipping and not knowing how to deal with my trade-in I decided this deal was a winner for me!......so I got a decent amount for my Trade-in ($31,000) and I paid $2k over msrp which is not bad considering I see them ranging from a minimum over $5k over to $10k over locally.....
anyway.....LOVE it!!.....Memory seats...finally!!.......and my previous test drive was a joke as the sales guy back then didn't tell me I can change the steering wheel settings from comfort to normal to sport which makes the steering feel easy, medium or harder......and the different exhaust options....quiet, normal, sport and baja.......sounds awesome!........the huge screen is pretty bad-ass and easy to use once you figure it out......love the orangeish-red accents inside......the seats are super comfy......and yes it's powerful......it has a warning at 3,000 rpm to ease off until the truck hits 500 miles so I've been taking it easy today but once it hits 500 miles the rpm waring goes away and it'll be time to shake and bake!
anyway, THANKS A MILLION TO EVERYONE for your friendship and advice and also to help me with my 5g Tremor journey but now I'll be moving over to the Ranger 6G forum to spend some more $$$ on mods!...LOL
here it is....Azure grey with beadlock capable rims and the graphics package.....
Tru Dat !
It’s not the truck you need, it’s the truck you want? I’ll be a RR owner in a bout 16 months, but I won’t be getting rid of the 5g tremor for it… the RR is a special feel to it isn’t it. I super happy for you brother. The adjustable exhaust is pretty slick and the customizable steering feel is a really neat touch too. Great looking truck, will you be keeping the raptor decals on the bedsides? Personally it looks good either way but I will be part of the decal delete party when the time finally comes.yep, I previously said my lariat Tremor was "almost" as good as the Ranger Raptor and I wasn't interested and didn't need it and....blah, blah blah........well, I went for it and bought one today!!!....My Tremor was having tranny issues and the dealer did the valve body replacement 1,000 miles ago......and was kinda giving me the run around when I said I wanted it fixed the right way with either the CDF drum replaced or a new tranny as per the TSB.....but was getting lots of pushback from the same dealer......and the tranny was getting worse.....much worse actually as was really slow shifting and then slamming into gear.....it previously almost left me stranded and I had it towed to the dealer.......and I was done trying to convince the dealer to keep it for a day or 2 and drive the shit out of it to see for themselves.......all the dealer wanted to do was have the tranny tech "check it out"......I'm no dummy...that means "it's fine and that's how it suppose to feel".....
