In the Houston area I'd say I see about 1 other Ranger on average per day. Sometimes they even wave which is nice.

I don't really mind being outnumbered by other trucks. As long as Ford sells enough Rangers to make it worthwhile to keep making it, I'd be satisfied. To drive the most popular vehicle and see many others just like yours on the road would make it feel less special.

The only two I see in town are white Super Cab city trucks. On a rare occasion I see a silver Crew Cab in town. We travel to South Carolina quite often, and very seldom see one on the road. There is a LB Crew parked on a business lot, but that's about it. Very strange with the amount that has been sold. Now, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a older one around here. They are everywhere.

There are quite a few 5G's in the central Va. area. There are several businesses in the Charlottesville area using them. I have only seen 2 other Cactus Gray ones, my Ford salesman bought one and one came in right after I bought mine. I have not seen any other Cactus Gray on the road anywhere. I am going to have to keep that in mind so I don't do something to piss somebody off, they will know it was they guy in the Cactus Gray Ranger!

I just returned from Chattanooga and saw many Rangers along the way there and back. Only one seemed as excited to see me as I was to see them. ?‍♀ :LOL:
Only because they didn't know it was you. Get TRACY BOWMAN on your hood/tailgate like an ambulance, and every day will be a parade with you at the lead. ;)

I see plenty around here in the Melbourne area. Mostly silver, gray, blue, and white. Tacos outnumber everyone combined for the small trucks. Lots and lots and lots of F150s, Rams and Silverado's. I am surprised the Rangers are so rare in some of the areas where you guys are from. I know these dealers in this county all have maybe one each. Its been that way since early last year. I know there are thousands of vehicles sitting and waiting for chips. I wonder how many of those are Rangers?

I see about 8 to 10 a week around me. Everyone of them is still stock too. Looks like I’m leading for mods. I can only thank this forum for that ?

Saw this at work today and some funky bike parked beside it

Funky maybe, but fairly rugged. Made in Russia, with the sidecar.

Russia/USSR started making them in the late 30's at Stalins direction, forseeing WWll.
They basically stole/reverse engineered a BMW from the era and copied it, almost nut for nut, bolt for bolt.
Worked on a few when I had my MC repair/parts shop in No. Carolina 1997-2005. Old design back then with drum brakes all around, but easy to work on.

There are a couple I see every other day. I'm pretty sure a couple folks in my town have them.

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 saw two new Rangers on the road within past 2 months... Tons of F150 and Silverado around though.

I'm in the DC region with lots of traffic yet I have only seen one non-GOV Ranger out in the wild. And the one I saw I thought was a GOV as it was standard white. I'm still looking for a Cyber Orange to gauge the actual color - I prefer something close to the Saber Orange but on the computer, some of the pictures look like highway department orange.

I can't believe how many I see here in L.A./SoCal now....

I saw 4 today in a couple of hours.
THIS! Over the last few months I have started seeing more and more each day in Huntington Beach. SuperCab's are the real rare Rangers down here. Everyone wants a crewcab. It certainly made the dealership negotiations easier.
