New Members Introduce Yourself!

[Chuckitall]

New member with Ranger XLT Sport, Chuck in So Fl. Had a 19 Tacoma Sport for 6 months and didn’t find anything wrong with it, but got a hair up my ass and decided to drive an XLT Ranger. was so impressed with the features and sportyness. So I went to Mullinex ford where I have bought a lot of vehicles. I told them I would trade, but did not want to be any deeper indebted.The gave an excellent trade in price and reduced an XLT Sport, Nav, power seats, & a lot more by over $4000 and good incentives. so I bought it and I’m only several hundred in debt.

Agreed. There have been a few hiccups for a few people, but overall I think most people are really happy with them - and most seem to be trouble free. I've not had any issues in two months and close to 3000 miles of driving.

I think you will love it once you get it. The waiting is the hardest part.

Thank you SO much; feel better. I love this forum; been reading it for several mths, but never knew how to get in on it until now

I have driven both and I agree. The powertrain is actually the reason I'm considering the Ranger (and a few features: Android Auto, remote start, head room, etc.) Just hard to shake my experiences with Tacomas over the last decade...

Who's using these as daily driver/family friendly/weekend warrior vehicles? And what are your thoughts?

Mine is a daily driver, and I absolutely love it. This is by far my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. Only issues so far is the drivers window was scratched on delivery and ford replaced it, recently the keypad stopped working. Ford is waiting for a replacement.

I have almost 3000 miles on it local driving and commuting to work. I will eventually be towing it behind my motor home when I have time to install the tow plate.

Hello!

I'm new to the forum and haven't actually pulled the trigger on a Ranger yet. I recently had a daughter, (our first) and my 03 Xtracab Tacoma (which I adore) has to go so that we can still adventure as a family. I'm currently on the fence, as i'm sure many of you were: Ranger vs Tacoma. I'm sure y'all will have a lot to say about that! Research, research, research.

Historically, I've owned both Fords and Toyotas: 1984 Tacoma, 2001 F-250, 2007 Ranger, and a 2003 Tacoma.

Thanks for the ADD!

Congratulations! Nothing more precious than a little one. And if you decide on a new Ranger you definitely are in for a thrill!

Hi, Im Anne. My hot pepper chrome package is on production line today! Wicked excited but nervous with reading about problems with them. Will be my 5th Ranger. Went with a Tacoma last Oct and hate it. Hope I made the right choice; I think I did.

I’ve only had mine a couple of weeks, but absolutely LOVE it and no problems at all!

I neglected to say congrats on the little one! Enjoy the time when they are young - it goes by quickly.

Thank you for the add! This is my first post, but I've been reading through the forums here for a while. I still haven't purchased my Ranger, but I'm leaning towards it (I've test driven the Ranger, Tacoma, and Colorado). I daily drove a lowered F150 for about 10 years and I miss having a truck. Currently, I drive a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek, and once it's paid off I'd really like to get another truck. I'm sure I'll post more somewhere else, but I just wanted to say hello and thank you for the add.

I've had my Ranger for a week now. This is the 3rd Ranger that I've own, the first being a 1988 XLT. I loved the styling of this new Ranger and I looked online at my dealer's website and they had several that were heavily discounted. They had a Lariat that had everything that I wanted, the tech package, nav, B & O sound, all the safety features, tow package, even came with a tonneau cover. So I stopped to take a look and a test drive. I was concerned about the 4 cylinder 2.3 being strong enough as well as the ride the Bridgestone Duelers tires would give. As soon as I drove it I was hooked. The acceleration was great, the ride was smoother than my 2014 Terrain. Of course the Hot Pepper Red Sports Package didn't hurt either. I think that this will be the best truck I've ever own. So much nicer than the Taco I looked at and a lot more tech features than the Canyon or Colorado. Very happy at the moment. Hope time doesn't let me down, but for right now, I just love driving it!

Told the wife I was getting haircut and looking at tires for the Terrain. Got new tires, they just came with a truck!

Hello all! New member here from the Savannah, Ga area. Picked up a new SLT FX4 in Hot Pepper Red with the sport appearance package. Looking forward to being a part of this community.
Picked up the truck this passed Saturday on a trade in. Came from a FBO 2008 Lexus ISF. Anyone who knows anything about what that car is will know that I will have a bit of an adjustment. But it's one on looking forward to, as I intend to use this truck, not only for trips to the hardware store, but also wanting to get into some overlanding.

I don't have time to search all the members but are there no ladies here? Just wondering...

A few.

Hey all,

New owner here too, picked it up last weekend and enjoying it so far. Came from a 2017 Tacoma, and a couple of Escapes before that. Also have an Edge Sport in the garage. Pretty happy with the Ranger so far!
