Dave, my Ranger is safe and secure (with his nitelight) in the garage and protected with a whole-house security system. You aren't getting anywhere near his tailgate.Hate to see you go but that's a really good price for your trade in. Are you getting another truck or just waiting for the Ranger Raptor? You can still stick around on the site even though you don't have a Ranger anymore. I know if that day comes I will but I have a lot of people that still need my help with their damper purchases....Mainly AL @Texasota! My job won't be complete until he has one on his Ranger even if I have to sneak over and instal one myself!
You forgot one thing, I have friends who can help me. With @FoD & @KJRR there's no stopping us from dampering you. It's only a matter of time my friend you'll wake up one morning and look like this. Stop fighting it!Dave, my Ranger is safe and secure (with his nitelight) in the garage and protected with a whole-house security system. You aren't getting anywhere near his tailgate.
Thank You, I appreciate it.The Maverick and Ridgeline are both FWD/AWD unibody trucks, but are in different classes. The Maverick will be a compact truck, completing the Ford suite of trucks, while the Ridgeline is midsize. Plus, the Maverick will having a starting price of almost half that of the Ridgeline ($20k vs $36k).
Somebody might cross shop them, but they're not meant to be competitors in my mind. As of right now, there is no other compact truck in the US/CAN market, so the Maverick will essentially have no competition within it's class. Until the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
The Maverick isn't for everybody, and "real truck guys" will hate it because it's AWD unibody and not "manly" enough, but I think it's a pretty cool idea and I have a feeling it'll be a good fit for urban housed adventurers and DIYers.
I can imagine it if I made a profit. The ridgeline is IMO worth looking at for most truck buyers (who aren't ever going to push its limits). I knocked it out of consideration only because 1) I wanted a bigger bed a lot more than a back seat and 2) I'm still holding a grudge from my last honda that hit early retirement at 100k miles.I can't imagine trading in a new-ish vehicle just because of problems that "might" happen. These forums are great but represent a small portion of Ranger owners and even smaller portion of "possible" problems....
