Ranger Remorse? anyone?

[OrangeStreak]

Love the Ranger in every respect but a little disappointed that the mpg is not bit better. This is my 4th truck and the best so far...absolutely no significant problems This truck rides and handles great on road trips. The acceleration is exceptional to the point that I have to refrain every time I come in the vicinity of a Taco I've unintentionally broken the tires loose several times ? Really don't need this much power but nice to have just in case. This video shows that Rangers are not lacking in the performance area...

I am very happy with mine. It does everything I want, and it is comfortable on longer drives. would I like a few more options and content? hell yea brother! Would I dump this to go to another truck? hell naw brother! Ford did a pretty good job putting this truck together.

Well Tracy it could possibly help your parking. It go either way??

You could become a pro and park like this?

But somehow I think it'll be more like this. ?

I'd give it a C+ for slightly above average effort. He/She did try to get as much of the car between those narrow lines as possible.

No remorse at all. The engines loosen up a bit and feel quicker after about 15,000 miles.
On mine if I floor it the back tires break loose at 35 mph when the turbo gets spooled up. Compared to the V8 trucks you use to own, the Ranger won't make as much power down low, it needs to rev a little more before it makes good power.

Can't believe i'm going to say this, but Ranger Pride is 100% correct on this.

When all the planets align and we’re in the equinox it can happen, rare but it can happen. About the same odds as getting hit by lightning! ?

Truck is plenty fast stock as well with a tune of your choice, that being said it does require some user intervention and thinking for best results. If you throw it in Drive and just drive it aimlessly it's not really that great. need to pass drop it in sport to kick the RPMS up and mash it. Mine goes from 70 to 100 pretty quick which should be good enough to get out of most situations. Going down a grade? turn on tow mode to use the engine braking to help with the brakes. I always scan ahead to anticipate bad situations and either get out of them or back off and let it go by. Florida highways are horrendous to drive on.

38 months and 30k on the clock - I ordered it as I wanted it and I can't say I would do anything any differently if I had it to do over. This truck has consistently impressed me with how quick it is (it isn't a race car, but for a truck is pretty quick) and how capable it is. I've hauled a lot with it and also towed a lot with it and I've never felt it wanting. Pulling a full size Ram up a snow covered hill when it was stuck was just icing on the cake.

It may not be for everyone, but I've found this to be an EXCELLENT truck.

Love the truck, I regret getting a car payment. Owned 4 trucks before this always paid cash. First payment in my life. I guess it's the cost of having something nice!

I really appreciate the feedback. I can tell you that I have received more comments on this truck then I ever did on the Rams. They all looked alike. Every Ranger is different with all of the packages and mods.

This is going to sound really odd and don’t make fun of me but I have been a little reluctant to get on it in fear I might break it?.. Im just to used to the big trucks I guess. I have only had it right at a month, 1400 miles, so I’m gonna man up and really have some fun with it today. I’ll give a full report.

I did have a Bullet Liner sprayed in yesterday, have some chrome steps being delivered today and ordered a Terrain Management switch so I am dedicated to be a die hard Ranger owner and have made some nice FORScan changes.

Thanks again!

Now that's the spirit!

Have you tried SPORT MODE? Just curious?

I bought my Ranger in May of 2019 and never messed around with the sport mode much at all but a few weeks back I was curious about it so needless to say every time I dust one of those Taco fan boys I gotta grin

Not far from where I work is an abandoned private airport. Perfect drag strip. All the guys that have trucks and want some fun go on Friday’s for a few runs. Got to say being impressed with this truck is an understatement. The few I lost were not the Rangers fault. Only thing I’m missing is paddle shifters! ?

Lol!

No remorse here either.
i bought a pickup truck
not a race car.

I'm not reading everyone's posts, I know these turn into the my truck is so fast I beat a blah blah blah....well, let me tell you, that blah blah blah probably wasn't event trying to race you.
take it to the track, get some numbers on some time slips.
otherwise, you're just....well, you know....

anyways, here's some numbers.
work on your skills, losing the race is probably cuz you're the problem. reaction times are your friends.

What's the deal with the Four Wheeler MT times for the Tremor? Did they do this in the dirt or something? ?

Car payment + Mods = bankruptcy!

None at all.

With a reasonable objective review, confidence in my own decision making, and controlling my thoughts this kind of anxiety is completely avoidable.

The opposite of what I described above is a waste of time and energy.
