Hi everyone. Been lurking on here since the Gen 5 resurfaced and I've thought all along the next vehicle I purchase may very well be the Ranger. Browsing through my local dealers website this weekend, I cam across a Magnetic XLT 2wd with Sport Package for $6,000 below invoice. While I wasn't itching to make a change right now, this seems almost too good to pass up. Based on your purchase experience, does this seem like a good deal?
I went and test drove yesterday and looked over all the things I've seen here on the forums like gaps and paint defects and for the most part it looks like a solid truck. While test driving, I did notice vehicle felt a little "bumpy" or "jittery". Thought of the over inflated tires and they were sitting at 44 - 45, so that would probably explain that feeling. The other thing I noticed was the trans seemed to shift a lot and I felt every one of the shifts. Maybe it is the nature of the beast with the 10 speed, but I did see that the TSB which would not apply to this truck as it was manufactured in April. Also I currently drive a 16 F-150 2.7 EB with the six speed and overall, that is a very slick shifting unit so that could be some of it.
Dealer is being fair on my trade and after running all the numbers, It has really got me thinking.
Still trying to decide if I will move forward with the trade or not.
