Scott from Virginia. I'm not really a new member but I had left for a while and now I'm back. I had a 2019 Ranger and traded it for a 21 Bronco Sport. While I didn't have any issue with the Bronco Sport I had been regretting that decision and had been wanting back in a Ranger. Last week I took my wife's Fusion in for service and saw this 22 Cactus Grey on the lot. Was able to work out a deal I was happy with and brought it home today.

Welcome back Scott! To be honest I didn't really like the CG color when I saw it on the Bronco. The more I see it on here I really like it more and more on the Ranger. As Paul said those graphics really do look good on the CG color. Hope you brought your checkbook back with you, this place got expensive to be on now. ?

Thanks! I wasn’t much of a fan of the color at first on the Bronco’s either but it grew on me. The graphics are what made me notice it at the dealership. It stood out from the other two that was on the lot. As for my checkbook I’ll definitely need to have a cooling off period before I get to any upgrades.

Jeremy. 31yo from San Diego. I had a 2003 stick shift Ranger back in the day and knew I'd be back again. Now, many years later, with two kids, my wife and I traded my Xterra for a new Hyundai Palisade and I started driving my wife's Sonata. It got too frustrating trying the thread a squirming 2 year old through the gap between the car seat and door jamb. I needed a truck. I rented a Taco when the Palisade was in the shop for a bit, wasn't impressed. Test drove the redesigned Frontier, was also not impressed. It would take a lot of add-ons for the Frontier to get as feature rich as the Ranger. Test drove the Ranger and fell for it.

Been loving the Ranger every day ever since. I haven't done anything to it yet though it's only been about 2000 miles. I bought the RANGER decal for the tailgate indents and plan on applying that soon. I do see a travel trailer in our future, so I'll have to choose wisely to fit the family and not overload the Ranger.

I'm also considering either a drop-in cargo liner or spray liner for the bed and add either a shell or bed cover. Any opinions on those will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That's gook, for a minute I thought maybe they were in the "deleted items with spray in liner" category.
Were you referring to the tie down fixtures on the truck (they are stock) or to the tie down straps?

The six tie down handles that came on the early trucks. :inlove:
Just checked and found these mounting holes on each side...is this where the other two handles are supposed to be?

Yes, just wanted to make sure the liner installers hadn't left them off. Some trucks came with four.
