Just did a four week trip across the country, and was amazed at how few Rangers I saw. I swear I've seen more in my town in BC on any given day then I did in any of the places we visited, including areas like Tetons and UT. Plenty of Tacos and F-150s of course. Are they really that rare on the ground?

I've seen a few here and there but I've yet to see another Saber color in my area. When we went to UT and NV last fall I think I saw 2 the whole trip. Tacos and Gladiators were everywhere though especially at Zion. Our hotel parking lot was littered with Gladiators. :puke:

I thought the same about the Kansas City area but if you really think about it they've only been around since 2019, and then 2020 covid hit so production slowed and 2021 the chip shortage so I am sure Ford hasn't been able to produce as many as they like. In my area today I saw 4 driving and a couple of neighbors have one. I'm sure once the chip shortage is done we will start seeing alot more of them.

After reading over this forum for a while, you would guess they are all in climate controlled garages. Getting massages and taking photo shoots or torn down to add mods, then photo shoots. :LOL:
Really though, I would say the time frame of production is the main issue. Where I live, I see one every time I look in a different direction.

In my experience...I see a Ranger once every other month...maybe...

I am on the road everyday in and around the Toronto area I have only seen a handful of them, and only one Tremor which I guess is to be expected as they just hit the dealerships recently and at 54k CAD, I think it makes people think twice.

I live in Wisconsin and used to think the same thing.

The other day I saw 3 other Rangers (2 red, 1 blue) in addition to mine all at the same grocery store ;)
They are definitely starting to pop up.

I see some around San Diego but it’s interesting that there’s at least seven near my house. Neighborhood peer pressure I suppose:rockon: Now reduce that to the Rangers that are visibly modded and haven’t seen many at all. Maybe three including myself. A modded Ranger is a unique thing:thumbsup:

You ask the right question. Since a majority of owners probably have a tune on, you know they do fly and wouldn't be spotted on the ground. Those on the ground are probably waiting to get one.:crackup:

Hi Terry,

I was just in Michigan in the Northern area of Detroit Metro. Sommerset Inn parking lot had two Rangers. I finally tracked down one owner to the front desk...She just loves her Ranger...Sabre Crew Cab.... She thanked me again for such a great truck...even when I told her I was long retired before the 5G truck.... Other truck was a fellow that modded it quite a bit but would not talk to anyone...a real sour puss...

best,
