I know many health insurance plans give you free or discounted fitness memberships, my parents have a free one one theirs. I still have 8 more years to go and don't want to rush them just for a free membership. lol ?

Wasn't aware, makes sense though. The health insurance figured out, "hey if I give them the chance to better their health, we won't have to pay as much out" :crackup:

That's how it should be but I guess that's to obvious for some companies. They should also give you reduced premiums for being fit or at least in a range with your age-body weight. Kind of like a safe driving credit for no accidents. ?

Ranger Advertising. Here in Vancouver Canada, we see lot's of Ford Ranger ads. Usually, the same two ads. Its maybe a Canadian content thing. Ford may get away with it being under Ford Canada.
We do not have the diverse ads that our Brothers/Sisters in the US have, filling the spots. I would say the 5G Ranger is seen occasionally where I live. Never seen a Ranger Overlander vehicle or one with a RTT. Lot's of Tacoma's
That's wild cause in the Southeast US I see NO Ranger ads. Even local Ford commercials only have a Ranger in them if the cameraman shooting the ad accidently catches the edge of a Ranger bumper while he's getting F-150 and Explorer shots.

I've received more compliments on my Ranger than any other truck I've owned. I get approached often in parking lots and at the gas station with people asking me how I like it and a lot never realized the Ranger is back. I'm still not sure why Ford didn't have more advertising for it back in 2019.
I agree Dave. I've had several nice F-150's, the last one a Platinum. But, I've had more comments, and questions about my little Ranger than all the others put togeher.

Jim, I think there's so many F150's out there now they're nothing special. I've had several of them and I did receive some compliments on them but nothing like my Ranger. Most on the F150 were because of how clean it was (black truck) especially in the winter. I was the fool out there washing it with my neoprene gloves on as long as the temps were above freezing. ?

When I built our house several years ago, I ran both hot and cold water to the garage. Nice to have the ability to run hot water for the hose when the temps drop.

Great idea Bob, I didn't think of that when I built mine back east. :headbang:

Here it's obviously not an issue but I did add a spigot off my water softener in the garage. We have extremely hard water here so now I can hook up my power washer to it and have soft water which also helps keep the power washer from loading up with hard water deposits.

Same. I had the guy who installed my softener in AZ do just that - I was using the outside tap off the garage with a timer and drippers for plants (away most of the time) but wanted a tap so I could wash my ‘01 Ranger, which I would drive down and leave over the winter so I could get around when I flew down. Gotta keep ‘em clean!

I don't see many ads here for the Ranger, but I have been seeing more of them around. I talked to a lady yesterday with a 2021 Ranger Supercab FX4 in Cyber Orange. She really likes it.
