Off to Paint!!!

I just cannot say enough about how much this Ranger continues to impress me - it pulled this with ease. Now not sure I’d want to tow it cross country but across town I could hardly even tell I was pulling anything!!!

Thank You Samsquanch

Brittany Blue - I really went back and fourth as it started life as Royal Maroon, not that there’s anything wrong with that but I figured she’s just a run of the mill coupe so I’m going to paint it the color I really like but still keep it a period correct color for 68

You put a Coyote 5.0 in it?

Someday - I’d also really like to do a 5spd swap but still waiting for that dang $$$ fairy to finally decide to come my way!!!

Well that is a nice '68. Yeah I was very impressed with the Ranger when we towed our 19' ~4000lb travel trailer. Headwinds and it could still hold 65mph without fuss. Our '16 Honda Pilot w/9spd and v6 would have been at 55mph in similar conditions due to being in-between gears.

Man, Brittney Blue was a color I wanted to paint my '66 coupe but for now she is the rattle can matte black I did about 20yrs ago. So that means there is plenty of springtime yellow poking through lol.

I won't argue with how well the Ranger does with towing. I have towed 5,500 lbs already. It was a short distance but it did just fine.

Now I will call bullshit on the "I could hardly even tell" part since I'm sorry but you have a mid size truck and are towing a bunch of weight. There is no way you dont know its there.

Its called "hyperbole" Its to emphasize a point. Stop being so literal, Shirley

I guess I should say I used to have a 2010 Ranger 3.0 I could tell I was pulling a pop-up as my comparison for reference
