I remember seeing something about people not seeing Rangers, and some excuses/reasons for it.
Chip shortage, Bat Fever production interruption, etc.
That's not the case out here.
I pretty much run from Vegas all the way up to WA state all week. I see them everywhere! At least 10 per day. There's a bunch in SLC and ID. I've seen Ranger work truck conversions. Mostly just signage.
Just letting everyone know, they're out there. Everywhere in the Southwest and up north.
Tell us about your work. What are you driving, what are you hauling? A few pics would be cool. That is a beautiful part of the country out there. I bet you enjoy your work.

SoCal/Central Coast is still pretty much Taco country with maybe 1 in 10 a mix of all the others, but am starting to see more Rangers in that 10%

I only see them because I have one. When I had my Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero) I seen those all day-everyday. Same thing with my Jeep XJ.

I'm sure there are equal Tacos, Colorados, and Ridglines out there to those who have that similar vehicle.

Western Washington. I see a decent number of Rangers but almost all of them are older rangers, very few gen 5 sightings. I see far more Tacoma's than any other midsize truck, and a decent number of Colorado sightings too. The least sighted mid size truck for me is easily the Frontier. Actually, my spouse and I noticed that we are seeing g a lot of the new Broncos out here, significantly more Bronco sightings than gen 5 Rangers.

Edit* we (spouse) are both in agreement that the new bronco is ugly, boring, and doesn't stand out much from other run-of-the-mill SUVs. I'd rather have a jeep just based on looks alone. Not that I'd get a jeep, just saying the ne Bronco is very meh.

I just returned from a trip to Yellowstone NP. I did see a few Rangers. Most were brand new. But what dominated to roads were Toyotas. Both Tacomas and 4Runners. All of them overloaded with camping gear, traction boards and rooftop tents. I’m not sure why, but many of them had aggressive off-road tires. I don’t think there is any off-road travel possibilities in Yellowstone.

Different strokes, but I assume you are referring to the Bronco Sport and not the Bronco. MAJOR difference between them! Almost a two year wait list for the Bronco and people getting BIG BUCKS flipping them already. Not that I plan on buying one but I LOVE the new Bronco. A 2-dr Sasquatch would be the one I'd pick.

I just moved to Colorado from Central Florida, I'd go days without seeing a Ranger in Florida. Now in the Denver area, I see a few every time I drive.

In Florida you mostly see Taco's and Colorado's for mid-sizers. Full size trucks still seem to dominate around there. Not many Rangers, Canyons, or even Ridgelines if you want to throw that in the mid-size category.

I see one or two Rangers with every trip nowadays (in northern Delaware). But yesterday, back-to- back, I saw a Ranger, Bronco Sport, and Jeep Gladiator!

Long Island, NY seems to be dominant RAM country with F-150s holding a distant second.

Other than my own truck, I have only seen one other fifth generation Ranger in the wild (at a Lowe's parking lot) in the last two months. Looking for a Ranger around here is much akin to going on a Snipe hunt.

Gotta love a good Snipe hunt!

I’m starting to see more and more in my area but it seems I’m the only one waving like somebody who just saw themselves on the giant screen at the hockey game. ?
We'll be watching' for ya!

Living in a small town, the only dealer we have is a Chevrolet Dealer. All their staff and the rest of the town all went to school together, drove their parent's K10s & 20s so... welcome to Silverado, Wisconsin. Still, lots of F150s, Rams run a distant third and maybe a handful of Tacos. a couple Colorados & Ridgelines and I have not seen any Canyons, nor seen another 5G Ranger. There is one Suzuki Equator, and we are also the global repository of Y2K Buick Le Sabres.
