Hi folks! Brian here from Nova Scotia, Canada. Bought my 21 XLT in June 23. My first Ford. Really like the truck and enjoying being on the forum. Thanks for all the info!

What a dump you guys had down east!!

Ugh! What a chore! I do not miss the winters down east. The good folks, yes, the winters, no.

Stay warm and safe Brian.

On a desert ride a week ago, 60 degrees, sunny & no wind...

Yep, we didn't get as much as Cape Breton but 60 cm at least.

On the weather map I saw, it looked like Yarmouth and Shelburne areas would be spared. Not sure if that happened but everywhere else sure got hit hard. ?

That's pretty much what happened. Friends in Yarmouth had hardly any. Hopefully that's it for the winter! HA

Hey everyone,

I'm Franco. Recently moved to Texas, and got myself a really clean 2023 Ranger XLT with only 3100 on the clock.
Got it to replace my 6.0 that blew a head gasket, lol.

The 6.0 will be getting sent to my dad back home in Florida, where it's gonna get rebuilt.

Strangely enough, the Ranger is basically the same configuration as my
Super Duty, which is the reason I got it.
And so far, I'm lovin' it!!

Also got a 2002 Honda XR650L that has been restored and bought every single aftermarket part you can think of. It's a beast for sure, and it's being worked on as I type, getting converted to Super Moto. Yes, I also changed the color from Red to White.

Got the two trucks sitting side by side, and they look like twins.

My plans are to lower it, and make it into what an SVT Ranger should have been, for the streets. Slightly lowered, bigger wheels with some low profile tires, Roush inspired.
Maybe even look like a Saleen XP8. Anyone know what that is?
Perhaps I'm showing my age already.

Already got some mods, mainly body pieces. Im just waiting for the rest to come in and convert what I can without voiding my warranty. ?

If anyone is nearby be, don't be afraid to hit me up!!

Hello Everyone, Just traded my 22’ Maverick Lariat hybrid for a 20’ Ranger XLT with black appearance pkg, towing pkg and technology pkg. with 15k miles and 1 previous owner.

Maverick had too many recalls and issues for me to go on with. The main issue was having both axles replaced twice. They use the same axles for replacements so I didn’t trust it to be a permanent fix.

I needed better towing capacity because we are selling our tear drop camper for a bigger one but didn’t need a full size truck. I had a 2006 F150 and sold it once I ordered the Maverick.

The only thing I will miss is the amazing gas mileage.

Welcome, the is a good group here that can help with any towing questions you might have. Some of them are towing near maximum weight travel trailers. @Grumpaw is one with a lot of experience. Other than the gas mileage, the Ranger is a towing beast.
