Ranger 5 Shortfalls

[AzScorpion]

People still drink gatorade?

I only bought it for work and would mix a little in with water. I stopped buying it last year when they raised the price and made the bottles smaller. What use to be 32oz is now down to 28oz.

I buy squenchers for the guys at work... They always grumble its not sweet like Gatorade. I respond with a comment about how they don't need all that sugar...

That's why I'd mix it with water, it's way to sweet for me. It was like 80% water 20% Gatorade. Now I buy the sugar free Wyler's drink packs, I like the Strawberry Lemonade. The water here is nasty so you have to drink filtered or bottled water. Annie brings these with us when we go out to eat because some placed don't filter their water. ?

Working at a water plant I giggle when anyone says they drink bottled water...

Yeah I know bottled water isn't the best but trust me, it's better than our tap water. My parents had a house on Marco Island, FL and I thought that water was bad until I moved here.

Would be interesting to know how they treat your water - city water I assume.

We blend a coypke different methods to get a water that doesn't taste like crap. Lol

Yes it's city water and very hard water here too. How do they treat it? My guess with.....?? Graphene enhanced of course.?

 

[Jhbryaniv]

Different water treatment techniques produce different tasting water...

And different qualities...

Boca raton uses mostly nano filtration which strip a most everything out of the water except H2O.... It is very stedal tasting.

Ft lauderdale uses line softening so it has lots of color and minerals that make it taste differently....

Real world, you should be getting a CCR that tells you about your water at least once a year.... It's how I found out the water where I live actually has radioactive traces.... I turned out fine of course.

Yes we all know about the deletes in 2022 from earlier years...

But WTF... They do not sell Gatorade or Powerade in Ausi Land....

My Powerade bottle won't fit in my Ranger console cup holders!!
All my F150's years could accommodate larger bottles...

Now I have to get out my cordless drill and hole saw to retrofit....!!!

Man... Not sure if all the other midsize competition trucks have this problem...
If I had known this prior to purchasing... Would I still have bought a Ranger.... Yes
But the trauma recovery of knowing no Gatorade or Powerade can be used without mods would be over by now.

I can live with the other deletes and missing accessories.. glove box light and damper... Hood dampers.... No trash can...Etc...

But... The cup holders are too f'n small...??
When was Gatorade invented?... Before the Ranger 5 I'm sure.

I am depressed.... Now my larger water bottles roll all over the interior risking me to get in an accident. Have to take out extra auto insurance....Gonna have to get some industrial Velcro mod action going I guess..

How are you coping?
Any ideas all ???

I switched from Gatorade to Jack Daniels. The square bottles don't roll around even when not it a cup holder.

Are gift cards any good without being programmed by the cashier?

I see people pocket those thinking they’ll work. ?‍
