I'm with you. Use to think that trucks were only good for hauling and utility use. But since becoming an owner I'm in it for the long haul (pun intended) and my theme has changed...I agree Paul, I bought my first truck in 1985, a used '79 F-250 with about a million miles, when I couldn't even get a new TV home. I tried going without a truck in 2018. That lasted about 1 1/2 years.
You will not regret getting a Truck
Sorry, I didn't realize that
. You are already an experienced trucker so you know what I was trying to get across

Those are nice looking covers. What are they? I have stone interior, but those look good.Started a rear seat delete, just need to finish the bottom but got too lazy. Also put on some seat covers to break up the ocean of black.
Hi Tom_C,
I was having a hard time finding my preferred stone color, but finally found it. I'm going to look at those covers though. Thanks.
They seem like they are made pretty well, but there were no directions with them. It was a pain to buckle the straps under the seats, but after tightening them they fit pretty tight.
Nice rear seat delete! what kind of fabric is that?Finished my seat delete project this morning (with the wife stitching around the edges and openings for the seat belt buckles). I wanted the seat loops and seat belts exposed for securing items. Quadruple layers of felt fabric are layered under most of it for help with sound reduction. After years of being around Harley's with straight pipes, Mack truck with no mufflers, large construction equipment, being in bands and my first marriage of 20 years, I'm so used to noise it doesn't faze me anyway.
Thanks. The fabric is felt from a fabric store, with velcro sewn into some areas of the edges.

All extended cabs are basically 2 seaters, but I do occasionally (very) need to tote another human so I leave mine in. But, how did you remove the rear seatbacks? I removed the bolt at the top, but I tugged and pulled and never could get them out. What's the trick?Looking good.
I custom ordered mine last year with the factory rear seat delete. We're empty nesters and the wife's Escape has rear seats if the need ever arises.
The factory Supercab rear seats are pretty much useless, in my opinion, and I wanted to sportiest Ranger possible. A little extra storage space behind the seats is bonus.
I have the Ford Performance/Borla exhaust and I don't notice any additional noise. My previous vehicle was a 2001 Bullitt GT that had a fairly loud factory exhaust, complete with drone at 45-50 MPH, so the Ranger sounds very, very tame in comparison.
