Love mine too! Husband keeps talking about getting me the new model when it comes out. How dare he?!!!:oops: I’m keeping this one until it just won’t go anymore. Nothing against the newer ones, I just love mine.:inlove:

Yesterday, I was outside near the Ranger and a guy in a good-looking, new Frontier drove by real slow, honked, & waved. I think he was appreciating ‘Ol Butterscotch.:)
Same here, I keep cars until they just don't go anymore and plan the same here. Of course, with a damper, I know it'll last forever! =D

I've tried various things, so far Seat jackers did the most.

Looking for a seat cushion that's thin enough not to push me forward, but sustain some impacts from potholes.


Though when sitting in my passenger side, the seat cushion is softer and leads me to believe I do really have a "defective" seat..
If you find a good cushion, I'd love to hear about it.

Hmm, my wife has one of those high-end "purple" ones for kayaking, I'll give it a try, although the one she has is two inches thick, although you do sink into it some ...

:shock: With a suggestion like that, it might be time to start thinking about trading in the husband.:ninja:?
Well, he is a pretty good fellow. Reckon I’ll keep him although his vehicle ideas are questionable.:rolleyes::)

I really love my Lariat seats. Super comfortable and adjustable for me. I do like the leather seats. I too really love my Ranger and will not trade it in on another truck. I had planned on this being my last vehicle I will purchase. I can't wait as my new rims should be delivered this week. :rockon: Then I can go shop for tires.

Better keep a close eye on him for now on. He might still try and sneak out and trade yours in without you knowing it. ? ? ?

A year and a half, 10,000 miles, and I still love this truck. You would think that being in my 70's I would not get too excited about just driving, but you'd be wrong.
Still look for excuses to get out for a drive, and smile everytime I go out. When I park, I still look back at it as I walk away.
It has had no problems at all, tow's our travel trailer just fine, and I love it as a daily driver. After adding the Seat Jackers, seats are perfect. Luckly no scratches on the exterior, and it still looks/feels/drives like new.
Love My Ranger !!! :like:

Just celebrated 2 years with Natasha and it’s been pure bliss! 25K on her and still purrs like a kitten. And yes, I still look back every time I walk away! ?

I can relate to the looking back when you walk away bit. Sometimes I just sit and stare at it. And I carefully wipe down the interior very often with a dry micro fiber cloth. It gives me an excuse to touch it. Call me crazy but I don't care. I love my truck.

I now have 5,600 miles on my 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor. Here in Tennessee, it has been raining for the past 6 or 7 days straight where I live. I had to take my truck out a few times to pick up things and the Ranger was a mess. Black trucks love to show off dirt and mud, or at least mine does. On the way back from a drive out of town today, it actually stopped raining when I got back into town. I shot over to the self-service spray car wash and washed it. Brought it home and dried it off and it started raining again. Quickly backed it in the garage and dried it off again. I went out tonight and swept out the inside, cleaned the mats, and cleaned the wheels too. Tell you what, it looks pretty darn sweet. It has been flawless and probably one of the nicest trucks I have had. (And I have had some pretty nice newer F-150's too). I have a 3 car garage and the one car garage door is too small for an F-150, however I can squeeze the Ranger inside perfectly.

PERFECT truck for me and I still smile when I look at it!

I hope that most of you are as happy with your Ranger as I am, with mine!

Did I mention I love this truck :question: :clap: :clap::like::like:
Oh I completely understand. I'm VERY happy with mine. Only 3k miles so far but still like I just drove it off the lot new. It's not a TREMOR but it's MINE.
Awesome Awesome truck!

Of course, it being a Scab, it shows you have impeccable taste in vehicles !!! :thumbsup:

I got the Scab because I just like the way they look. My wife and I being empty nesters, we didn't necessarily need the crew cab, the Scab has enough room for our dog and/or whatever other precious cargo I might need to put back there. So I also saved some dough. But a pleasant side effect is the weight. Dry weight of this truck is 4,022 lbs which is light for a Ranger and translates into quicker acceleration (just a little) but I didn't think of that when I bought it. And no I don't drive like a crazy person...usually, lol.

Thank you and yes they are amazing machines. I can't believe how far Rangers have come. I drove a MY2000 for 23 years and there is just no comparison. There is nothing about the new Ranger that reminds me of the old one.

Yesterday, I was outside near the Ranger and a guy in a good-looking, new Frontier drove by real slow, honked, & waved. I think he was appreciating ‘Ol Butterscotch.:)
He was just daydreaming about what it must be like to not be on a first name basis with the service manager at the dealership.
