What's up everyone? My name is Conner and im 25 and on my second 5th gen Ranger. I'll get to that in a second but wanted to document the small things I have done to my truck and go over my plans (dreams) and hopefully learn more from you all.

To start, i'll start with my previous vehicle a 2017 Honda Civic Ex Hatchback 1.5turbo. My mom now drives this thing (tuned with no exterior mods but the carbon ducktail but still cool). When I had it, it was fun but I needed something a lot more practical after Brooklyn put the civic through the wringer. So knowing I wanted a truck, I was looking at the taco because they're sick looking but once I sat in it I knew I would end up hating it.

So a buddy of mine owns a Ford dealer and a friend is a salesman there and I had seen the Ranger was coming back, I took a test drive in a 302a Fx4 and fell in love right away. So I ordered a 301a Magnetic Sport. Came delivered with 3 miles on it after they took it to the gas station. I drove it for a few months pretty stock, just some stickers, tinted side markers, yellow fogs, steps and 265/70/17 Wildpeaks.

So I'll try to post the video of why I have a second Ranger but long story short I was leaving a mens league hockey game and in upstate New York, black ice is all over, I hit some and started spinning at 70 or so and rolled into a ditch. Didn't have a single scratch on me but totaled that truck with about 5k miles on it.

Just a small update (thanks to @Remix for the sale and quick delivery). Got the Stage3 Lariat Raptor style lights! Looks better in person than I thought so I am pumped about it.

damn dude, slow down and keep this one out of the weeds.....glad you're OK , speaks volumes on the safety of Fords products.
Yeah, never drove anything other than FWD and of course didnt prepare for the weather we had that night. Truck had no weight in the back and I was going down a slight decline in 2WD. Safe to say I learned my lesson for sure. Very impressed with the safety of this truck to say the least!
