Had a 2019 Toyota Highlander and a 2014 Subaru Outback. My wife finally gave in and let me get a vasectomy (a pandemic and being trapped at home with a 4 and 5 year old at the time, she had enough of kids) so I bought the 2020 Ranger. No need for the Highlander any more and I made money giving it back to them early on my lease. So she goes and signs her papers after I had already went home with the Ranger and she came home with a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.

So now I finally have my truck and no more future kids! Haha, that was a good day!

2008 Harley Street Glide, 105th Anniversary Edition. Tons of work done to it. Legends suspension, Stage 3 Engine kit, 14" LA Choppers bars, V&H pipes, 1000w stereo, etc. It was a blast to ride. It was my 6th bike. I rode over 200,000 miles over the course of 14 years.

I hate to say it, but I don't miss it at all. Back in 2019, I got hit on this bike. I didn't go down, she just clipped my bag, but it was the beginning of the end. I never thought I couldn't get hurt, in my head, but the feeling of 'invincibility' drove away with her. Other drivers have gotten progressively worst over the years. Plus, my wife didn't like to ride for long distances. After 3 hours, it felt like she was playing 'Dance, Dance Revolution' on the back. The truck allows us to go places together, which is important.

While I didn't give it up FOR the Ranger, the Ranger made me sell my '17 FiST. I planned to daily the FiST 70% and the Ranger 30%, but once I got the Ranger the Fiesta sat. Carmax offered me way too much for a 45k mile Warm Hatch with minor hail damage, so I took it.

We have been a Jeep family for the most part except for my 250 Truck which after 15 years is still going strong.
I ended up trading in my Jeep Trailhawk for the 2022 Ranger.

We traded in our 2014 Explorer Limited (which we loved) to get our 2019 Ranger Lariat (which we love). Generally speaking, we try to buy new, run it until it is paid for (five years), and cracks 100,000 miles, which generally happened about the same time, and then trade up. With the pandemic, the wife's retirement, and my (still) working from home, we have only 19,000+ miles on the Ranger now, so this one may go a lot longer than five years before hitting 100,000 unless something comes along that I cannot resist (Ranger Tremor, Ranger Raptor, E-Ranger, Bronco, E-Bronco, Everest, E-Everest, 150, E-150, who knows)?

a fantastic FX4 F150 that excelled in comparison to the Ranger
at todays gas prices i dont regret the move.
So you like the 150 better except for mpg ? I had a Sierra xcab before and other than being able to roll down the rear windows , I don't miss much ... I probably will first time I need a homedepot run though... or a load of gravel , that I probably won't want to haul now...
