Ranger Raptor 2021
Went to a graduation party of someone's kid. Stopped overnight in a spa hotel and had nice swim, sauna & buffet. On the return trip, went and toured an armor museum.

Here's the Raptor next to a ZSU-57-2.

It wins on ground clearance.

2021 Ranger Tremor
Occupation
Electrician
The family and I are headed out on a little camping vacation for 3 nights. First time taking the Tremor out all loaded up. Drove about 250 miles, averaged about 15mpg, the RTT above the cab is a MPG killer, my Raptor got about 11-12 with it on.
First time with the truck on the interstate and it did great, even with the Yokohama MTs on it.

bought a fancy new Ferris IS600Z zero turn mower. Also is it safe towing this much without a damper? Have I voided the warranty?

You can tow 25% of max load without a damper,, so you should be good
The "manual" says: without damper installed
-You will lose 10% fuel efficiency
-you can only haul 25% of advertised load
-your windshield wiper will work at 50%
-mileage on tires will decrease
-your blinker fluid will need changed more often
-You may lose hair faster
-your dog will not ride with you
-if you install a lift kit, you will lose 1 inch
-you wont get a virtual T shirt

I bet the trailer weighs more than the mower!

I ran to Home Depot to buy some smoking wood (Hickory and Apple) for dinner!

I know, it's not very Ranger related. But I was out of smoking wood and I did enjoy driving to the Home Depot in my Ranger! :D
Love that outdoor kitchen. Ceramic grills rock.

That they do! So much versatility! I can bake Brazilian pao de queijo, and then crank up the airflow for some serious picanha searing. Or smoke a pork shoulder, or throw a pizza on. They are pretty damn awesome!

You talking 'bout that big green egg of yours?

I've had one on my wishlist for years.

Mine isn't an Egg, and was much less expensive! I got mine on sale, and my wife had a couple of Home Depot gift cards that totaled up to $100. I think I got out the door for around $400 on this grill:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vision-...coal-Grill-with-Grill-Cover-S-4C1D1/202926563

I got mine back in 2006 (maybe?) and it's been great. For the price it's a great value, but the warranty isn't as strong as the Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe. I've had a couple minor warranty claims and they were all perfectly handled except for the last one where I had to pay to have the part shipped out to me. Not too bad but not too awesome.

Okay.


Didn't know this. This puts it closer to the "to do" list than the wishlist.

I ran to Bethlehem, PA to a National Museum of Industrial History ribbon cutting for their outdoor "Foundry Park ", and followed this "other red" Ranger on the way. When I left, a clone of my old Ranger was sidling up to Pepper, but I recall the kid who bought it, totaled it pretty quickl
