Finalizing my Ranger purchase right now, but when it finally comes in, it'll be replacing a 2011 Kia Soul +, so I feel like it'll seem like an upgrade. :)

I replaced a 2010 Toyota Tacoma with a 2020 Ford Ranger. The Tacoma was a 4x4 with the 4 cylinder engine. The truck was reliable, but absurdly under powered. I can now keep up with traffic on hills, which is really nice.

We're not replacing anything- we just needed an inexpensive hoopty to bridge the gap between my wife's custom-ordered European Delivery BMW Track Pack car, and our 62,200 pound GVWR ex-USMC special forces armored gun truck MTVR motorhome...

So I didn't even know what a hoopty is.:LOL: Had to look it up in the Urban dictionary. See... you are never too old to learn new things.

Tracy is right "The Ranger AIN'T no "Hoopty"!!!" :LOL::LOL::p

My definition of hoopty is just a humble vehicle...

Replaced my 2009 Ranger XL. I could've driven it a few more years, but the 2.3l was slow, I was tired of the stress of 4x2 on the highway in snowy conditions, and our family was growing and a 2 seater just wasn't cutting it anymore (I do miss the 5speed manual though). Weirdly my neighbour two doors down bought it at auction about a month later so now I get to drive by my old truck in my new truck everyday. It's weird. Sometimes I feel sad for it, it has to carry my dumb neighbour around now haha.

I’m replacing a 2019 Ford Edge SEL. Purchased it October 2019. Traded a 2018 F150 for that while I waited on a 2021 Bronco. Day 2 reservation holder. Just decided it wasn’t what would work best for me (I still WANT it). A pick up slightly smaller than the F150 should be just right.

I’m replacing my 2005 Focus ZX4 ST. I love that little car, but I wanted an upgrade and at 178000 miles, I’m not sure I want to spend the money for the things that will surely be breaking in the future. The good news is I’m giving it to my dad, so I know it will be well cared for.

My 2003 Tahoe and my 2019 Impala. Both were great to me, but I needed a pickup that could give me the luxuries, technology and gas mileage of my Impala and the 4x4 and functionality of my Tahoe. Got really tired of maintaining 2 vehicles. The Ranger fit the bill. Sometimes I miss them a little (especially my heated steering wheel in the Impala), but absolutely no regrets. I love my Ranger. First Ford i’ve ever bought too ??
