What car/truck are you replacing with the new Ranger?

Replacing a Ford Fiesta!

Ok, well sort of... that was my wife's car and she's getting my old Ford Escape. So for me, I'm replacing a Ford Escape which has actually been a really good car and I'm keeping it in the family. My wife is kinda funny though and has come to enjoy the handling of this little Fiesta. She said it really ripped around corners but the Escape feels like it might roll over. It's going to take some getting used to for her.

But for me this is my 2nd Ranger. I had a standard cab 2WD '99 years ago with a step style bed. Awesome truck. I put 200K miles on it before I moved on.

I have a 2016 Ford escape as my daily driver and it has been a great vehicle. I am trading my 2015 F-150 on for my 2020 Ranger. This will be my fourth Ranger

I traded in my 2007 VERY basic Ranger... manual transmission, crank windows, manual locks,came with just an AM/FM and 2 speakers, vinyl floors and seats. I only paid $12K for it new in 2007 and traded in for $3K (including $1K incentive), so not too shabby. Love my new boy Blue.

2007 Toyota Corolla that I purchased from my wife after I sold my Wrangler and she bought a Jetta Sportswagon. Been driving that thing to ground for four years but it refused to die! Lol

My previous ranger was a '99 2WD but my 4WD buddies were always surprised what I could get through with a locking rear diff and a good set of tires. Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and Bilstein shocks all around. Fun little truck. I've been through 3 new vehicles since then so it's been a while.

I traded my 2011 raptor for a 2019 ranger.

Interesting! Any particular reason?

Properly compensating for his large wiener!

Mainly because the raptor was having some weird electrical issues that I didnt want to mess with. The dealership said I was the first person to trade a Raptor for a ranger.

I'll bet!

Although my dealer kept checking to make sure I really wanted to trade my F-150 for the Ranger. They just couldn't understand why anyone would do that.

What are your plans for all that extra space in your garage? Lol

2005 Nissan Frontier SE4x4 (210K miles).

 

[scubalizard]

Traded in my '15 Nissan Xterra with 122000+ miles. Do your homework people. I got offers from carmax and give-me-the-vin, one was for $8500 and the other for $9000; dealer original offer was for $4000.

I posted this in another thread but adding it here!

I traded in my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost Premium Performance Package for the new Ranger. It's still a fresh "wound" but it was the right time.

I will miss this 2018 Mustang GT but I look forward to my New Ranger XLT Sport.

My 2013 Mustang Pony package. Had 106000 miles on it. This pic is from the day I bought it. Sad to see it go but damn I love this Ranger!

With a heavy heart I am replacing my 2013 Mustang GT CA Special with only 42K miles with a silver or white platinum 2020 Ranger Lariat Supercab.
Moving from Torrance to the Florida Keys and will need a truck for our new business.
My Mustang was an awesome car and I will miss her dearly.

Dig this....Mustang sold (over the weekend) super fast...so both are gone. I’m truly a SHUT-IN

Traded in the stang

I traded in :

2016 GT performance package, hiflow cats mbrp catback dyno tuned. I do miss the 6 piston brembo brakes with 18 inch rotors

There's some gorgeous car friends in these posts.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who made a similar trade (see my previous post). I absolutely *loved* the Mustang, 80k miles of fun, lots of good times, a bit too much lead foot, but always a good story and a head turner.

I would've loved to have kept both, but money doesn't grow on any trees I've found yet. It's only been 2.5 weeks, so I'm sure the pain of missing it will go away soon. I'm happy to be back in a truck (Michigan boy who grew up on trucks, '89 Dakota, '99 Ranger Super, '04 F-150 Screw), and have the ability to have actual passengers and not worry about getting things home from shopping, but I miss the brakes (especiallllly the brakes, them 4 pistons were great) and the handling sometimes, but the Ranger will be many years of fun to come.

The Ranger is going to be the replacement for bad-weather/winter-weather duties...


I've been throwing replacement parts at my Explorer Sport 4x4 to keep it running in good mechanical order.

Got it super-cheap since the friend of the family couldn't use it as a trade-in due to the Check-Engine light.
He spent $400+ and the CEL still didn't go away.
I spent a month or two & about $200 and was able to track down a couple of its issues: NO MORE Check-Engine light!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Da winterbeater, but she's still chugging-along. So for now, the Ranger is an addition until she dies or I hand off the keys to my son when he gets his driver's license...
