So I Bought A New Ranger

[Dr. Zaius]

Ok, you got me..... lol I gotta say that thing is very cool. Was it a custom hot wheels or what?

Maisto 1/27 Ford Ranger

If you are looking to get one, shop around.

I paid $23 with free shipping but I saw them as much as $60

Oh wow, bigger than I thought! Probably easy enough to take apart and custom paint it?

On a side note, check out Walmart's toy section next time your in one. There is some generic toy company that makes a truck series and the Ranger is one of them. They are loose on a tray usually near the hot wheels/rc car section. I wish I grabbed one when they had the black Ranger. Kina similar spec as the one you shared but smaller and only something like $8.

Dude, seriously I hate you.
I am going to go broke on that site. I love die cast construction equipment!

Is this a U.S. outfit? Tariffs are about the only thing keeping from spending money there

Not sure.

I bought mine from a seller on eBay.

They have 2 left.

Apologies I didn't really include anything for scale.

The Mac it's sitting on is roughly 7.5 inches across.

Here it is compared to my Hot Wheels Ranger.

And looking at the bottom of it, it appears to be held together with screws instead of rivets.

I haven't taken it apart but it looks like it might be pretty easy to do so.

Edit: This got me curious, so of course I took it apart.

Very easy.

The plastic bed, windows, and roof rack are melted into place so you'd have to be careful removing those, but the grill and bumper snaps into place.

3 body mount screws, well actually 5 since you have to remove the rear axle to get to 1 of them, and the body comes off.

I don't know if I'll paint it but it's easy to disassemble if you want.

Is there a Scab version?

Is there a Scab version?

I didn't see one but I didn't really look.

That would be cool though!

What is this? A Ranger for ants? Its gonna need to be at least..... 3 times bigger.

Nice FX4 Lariat.

Lifetime warranty on the driveline so I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Not really wild about the color, but it was a pretty good deal so I grabbed it.

It already has a few dealer installed mods, but I think they are tastefully done.

I know, I know, this thread is worthless without pics.

So, here you go.

Let me know what you think...

Will a Ken doll fit in that? Asking for a friend

First thing I did when I got it home is wash it in hot water.

That was a mistake.

I thought it was cold water that causes shrinkage. It does for me.

Too manly for Ken.

A GI Joe might fit...

Although it would probably help Ken’s image. He’s had a rough go of it lately
