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

[the5Gmartian]

My 2003 Tahoe and my 2019 Impala. Both were great to me, but I needed a pickup that could give me the luxuries, technology and gas mileage of my Impala and the 4x4 and functionality of my Tahoe. Got really tired of maintaining 2 vehicles. The Ranger fit the bill. Sometimes I miss them a little (especially my heated steering wheel in the Impala), but absolutely no regrets. I love my Ranger. First Ford i’ve ever bought too ??

Replaced this 2011 Ranger (in pristine condition when it went) for the 2020:

New Ranger replaced a 2016 ram ecodiesel (acquired in 2018 with 20K on it) which replaced my 2015 4x4 Tacoma, which replaced my 2014 2wd Tacoma (no pic)

Cactus Gray Tremor's about to be delivered and we need the garage room and the moneys; thus my JDM dreams are getting crushed. '93 RHD Toyota Aristo w/ a 20K mile twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE non-VVTI. Love it - but it's time for something practical. Might put it up on Bring-A-Trailer auction.

2J swapped Ranger.

Best of both worlds.

I know there's an RB20 swapped 2nd or 3rd Gen out there online.

lol, nah, need the cash as opposed to spending a LOT more on a conversion. With that out of the way, it would be one haul-ass ranger, especially with something like Midnight Performance tuned 10R80 or even a T56 Magnum.

I guess I can still feel a little JDM with an inline 4 + twin-turbskis

A 2006 Toyota Matrix XR. Greatest car ever built. Stupid reliable. Even if it broke you could fix like 90% of it with a 10mm and a rock. Hilariously practical. Carried a fence home from the hardware store inside. Rowan Atkinson strapped an armchair to the roof of his Mini, I strapped a couch to the roof of the Matrix. The Ranger has big little shoes to fill. The turbo helps though...

The grey one will be leaving this week.

I short term leased the Tacoma as it was my test to see if I would like to go back to mid-size trucks after 20 years of driving full size, mostly F150s. Sooo happy to be back in a Ford.

I won’t knock the Tacoma though, it’s a bulletproof truck so to speak. Just very utilitarian even though that was the Limited model. Highway driving with it left a lot to be desired and no matter how you drove it, it constantly had to be “worked”. The Ranger is effortless and in a sense, luxurious to drive compared to the Tacoma.

This Ranger however was a buy and I expect it to be in my driveway until it’s a pile of rust.

The Tacoma isn’t as small as it seems in the picture, it’s just the angle of the shot.

2020 Subaru Crosstrek. Too many times where I had to park farther out and hike in while others drove up to the camp spot or trail head.

I had 8 years of floating down the road in this. Looking forward to not doing that anymore.

Massive 1 million Subaru recall for "deteriorating ECU" that results in dangerous stalling condition.... As the indigenous folks say "Good Trade!"

had a 2003 1500 quad cab, picked up a 2017 moron-yo that was wonderful but wasnt a truck.... traded that for the supercab...

i like the ranger but i do miss the nissan..

Dumped my 6.4 diesel F250. It was becoming mind numbingly expensive to keep up. After I spent 15k on a turbo and new exhaust I brought it to the dealer and they gave me $14,900 on the trade in. SOLD! Give me that Blue Ranger right there!

I dumped my 17 Honda Ridgeline and I'm thrilled!!
