Look at my Ranger parked next to stuff

Guess what this six-wheeled wonder started out as and win a prize.

Here’s a hint….

Somehow beneath all that stuff, I got the impression of an elderly Volkswagen car for the front area.

You’re only off by an entire ocean.

Parked next to the original Cybertruck…

That’s the best I could do, sorry.

Not a clue, definitely get some 80s vibes from the pictures of it and it being a six wheeler. Whole lot cooler than the ragged old Dodge that is parked next to mine. Lol!

A big ol Chili Pepper!

Someone tried putting a dumpster (Chevy) close by too.

Next to some palm trees. BTW There are no palm trees in Ky.

Speaking of trees, this giant asparagus

is interrupting my view.

Truck looks good as always Gregg!
Ford needs to use that image in a promo shoot.

Agave Americana - you should hang around for the by product.

Another Tequila sunrise.

First time seeing the so called Death bloom . Took that picture from 3rd floor deck. It is probably 30 or so feet tall.

Wow, some trees don’t grow that tall.

Ford doesn't seem to like to include the Ranger in many of their commercials or promotions. No problem with F150 or both Broncos or Maverick though.

The overall silhouette makes me think of the '90's Citroën XM, and while it was primarily a four-wheel car, there were some six-wheel special editions for conversion to ambulances and the like.

Now, THAT was a car that demanded knowing the dimensions of your vehicle. The engine stuck out like 5 feet in front of the bottom edge of the windshield, but you couldn't see ANY of it. Navigating that thing through tight European streets without putting a scratch in it demanded a steady hand and an ability to visualize a bird's-eye view of the car without all of the techno-gimmickery available today.

It came with a 90-litre (22.5 gallon) tank which was amazing for road trips. A specialty of Citroën, it had this fancy hydropneumatic suspension which would bleed out pressure in the suspension when you shut the car off and pump it back in when you started up again, effectively lifting and lowering the car each time you turned the key; my cousin used to call ours "The Camel" because of this. With a later version, you could flip a switch (car had to be stopped, IIRC) to adapt the suspension from regular to higher-up clearance for light off-roading or super-car style low clearance when going through windy/hilly passes. Would take you from "I'm getting car sick" to "OMFG, I'm driving an F1 car" sticking to the road like it was a leech.

Overall, an amazing car that should have had better uptake than it ultimately did. I would definitely grab one as a project car if I had the opportunity.

So, first of all, very cool story!

Unfortunately, it’s not a Citroën.

Alright, mate, I think you'd best just give up the goods and let us know what's at the bottom of that thing.

Look at the dash through the window picture - it will be clear as mud.
