I found this on my wall this morning about the 2021 Ranger Tremor - in the article were some interesting stats:
After unveiling the vehicle at the Detroit auto show in 2018, and hitting dealerships in 2019, Ranger is one of the few vehicles to gain sales in 2020.

In the second three months of 2019, buyers purchased:

  • 68,683 Toyota Tacomas
  • 31,669 Chevy Colorados
  • 20,880 Ford Rangers
In the second three months of this year, consumers bought:

  • 51,063 Toyota Tacomas
  • 25,008 Ford Rangers
  • 19,843 Chevy Colorados
Ranger rose from 10.2% of its market segment during the first six months of 2019 to 17% of the market a year later.

So we are moving up in the world!!! Here's the link to the rest of the article. https://www.freep.com/story/money/c...nger-tremor-midsize-truck-package/3471663001/ In other news, getting ready for Sally here on the Gulf Coast - to quote the title of Robert Palmer's debut album "Sneaking Sally through the Alley"...

I give a small bit of credit for Ranger sales to all the cool and helpful people on this message board. Potential buyers doing research before buying a truck probably ran across this place (as I did when shopping) saw all the valuable information, cool pictures, and user experiences. :D

Heck, Ford should offer a few people here some reward points for their contributions. :cool:

Agreed! I did research here before buying and was sold.
And the aftermarket people making and selling products for the Rangers should offer some reward points. Maybe a free tailgate dampener... :LOL:

Ford should definitely compensate @P. A. Schilke for what he's contributed here.

Didn't they already do that by paying him a salary for years? And don't they still do that with his pension and Ford discounts? haha
Right! Love the random backstories I come across when I'm scrolling through the message boards.

Hi Matt,

No pension....I took a lump sum buyout on recommendation of my Financial Advisor...he said I was one of the ones where this made sense.

Bit of a back story. Ford turned out the buy out option to an outside source. I got an offer compared to my pension and what my wife would get when I died...it was double but should have been 90%...So it made sense for my wife to put me on the other side of the dirt.... Something was wrong. Financial Advisor told me to take the money and run, but I elected to dump this back on the outside company to correct the mistake...Took them another 2 months to get back to me and the offer now on the table was about 1½ times the previous offer....This time I took it. Financial Advisor was blown away as we wonder how many other folks got wrong calculations. Take away here is to challenge when something is wrong...

Best,

Me too. I was a member of this site for over 6 months before I bought.

Do you mean you would like to buy some? I don't use mine so if someone could put them to good use I'll sell them. They go for $805. at the dealership. You can get mine for $350. plus shipping.

FWIW, I do not like the Tremor steps. I am 6' tall and don't need them to get in and out. If I step over them the rough surface finish tears up my skin when wearing shorts or dirties my pant legs and if I actually step on them I have to do a deep knee bend to get down into the cab. My wife needs the step to get in so it needs to be there on the passenger side. I have considered taking the driver's side off but I am to OCD to live knowing there is a step on the other side.

The solution is the power retracting ones with it not wired to the driver's door but I have not been able to justify the $1500 cost.

I'm with you. The design of the Tremor steps is the one thing that I did not like about the truck. I am not as tall as you, but I did not need them to get in and never used them to get out. If I were parking somewhere where I could open the door wide, I could step out and avoid the steps catching the backs of my legs, but in my garage or parked next to another car in a parking lot, that was almost impossible.

My solution was to replace them with the Go Rhino RB10s and steps. It has a similar look but with a more usable running board with some additional protection from road debris, and the steps do not seem to stick out as far making it easier to avoid them when stepping out.

Otherwise, I love everything about the Tremor.
