PLEASE HELP A FELLOW RANGER GUY!

[Glocker]

Nice.


I could have bought a 2022 Mustang. I purchased a 2022 Ford Edge ST instead. It replaced a 2019 Ford Edge. I did not like that 2.0 Ecoboost it had. My 2019 Ranger outperformed it big time. Now the 2022 Edge ST outperforms my Ranger. It's no Mustang, but it gets my groceries with ease. ?

My wife has a 2013 Escape with the 2.0 EcoBoost in it, and that motor is perfect for that size car. Mid-September, we were on our way home from the beach and we got nailed in the back at an intersection, and I was pretty sure they were going to total out my wife's Escape - so in preparation we started test driving several vehicles to help her make up her mind with what she wanted. Unfortunately, she did not like the Edge ST-Line. She felt it was too big for her (she's 5'2" and 90 lbs.). However, she did like the new Escape, the Bronco sport, and the Lincoln Corsair. Surprise, right!? All based off the Escape/Focus architecture. And I tell you what, I was really surprised with the cost of the Lincoln Corsair, with the level of equipment you got. It was VERY close in price to the Escape she would want to get! She liked the Bronco Sport the best because she feels it's rugged image suites her better. We test drove a 2019 Wrangler as well, that was the most expensive vehicle we test drove, and it had some miles on it. She liked it, but she's very conservative with money and isn't crazy about a used vehicle with less options that has 29,000 miles on it costing more than the most expensive new vehicle she test drove. ?

When I 1st heard of the "ST-Line," I thought it was going to be something better than the ST. Nope. You have the looks of an ST, but not the performance.

Going back to the 2.0 Ecoboost, I thought something was wrong with it when I purchased it back in 2019. Sounds horrible. Turns out they all sound that way. (See video) I'm glad my 2019 Ranger doesn't sound like that.

Am I the only one who feels sorry for the guys with zero votes?

Not because John is making them look bad - because not even their friends, wives, or girlfriends will cast a vote for their truck. ?

It is sad. They probably had the email go right to their junk box.

Wow - I had a look at the vote tally this morning and it was at 176 - it seems the elves were up all night making shoes.

One I would watch is the Gladiator. If anyone has a forum large enough to pull off a late challenge it might him IF he is actually on Jeep forum...

Put another in from my work email a bit ago...
