What did you let go to get your Ranger?

[BigRedDog]

Let go of a 2022 Honda Passport Trailsport that I bought new in January of 2022. Heck, it's still for sale at the dealership I traded in her in at:

I really liked the Passport, it was a comfortable family vehicle and made for a great commuter. Ultimately I missed having a truck (last 3 vehicles were mid-size or full-size trucks) and we decided to get a travel trailer that necessitated something with better towing chops.

2006 Toyota Tacoma 4d TRD off road prerunner. Bought in for 24.5k in 07 with 17k miles traded it in at 270k for 7k. The paint was gone on the hood rand roof and the trans was starting to get a shudder. It was time, I cried for real. What made it worse is I work at the dealer so I saw it everyday sitting on the lot.

Loving my ranger though glad I got the FX4 and having been using it

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...

A silver 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid with 67k miles. I bought it in 2018 with 54k miles for 5k after trading in a 04 Camry with 172k because the transmission was going bad. The Fusion went to my brother who is enjoying the 38+ mpg it gets on the Highway. I miss the 36 it was getting in the city on my 4 mile commute. Though the ranger has been averaging 22 so it isn't terrible.

Nice truck...assume the new one is red also!

Waited for the Rapid Red. First Ranger 84, Midnight Blue over white.

Had a 2018 Subaru Outback that I loved for all 100,000 miles I put on it, but I was constantly loading the trunk up to the ceiling and it could only tow 2500lbs so a truck seemed to fit my needs a little better

Traded in my 2018 Escape titanium for the Ranger Scab lariat. The Escape was my first "new" vehicle. I always wanted a truck but I didn't want anything big like an F-150 or any other full size truck on the market. I rarely had anyone in the vehicle so the Scab was the best choice plus it had everything I wanted.

My father had a very similar red Explorer when I was a kid! It was a beast towing a fully loaded trailer when we were moving.

I traded in my 2019 Escape Titanium for my 23. I've had Escapes since 2012, noted that the cargo space seemed smaller (even though the car was bigger, just couldn't hold as much as years went on.... to me, anyway), so I got my senior moment pickup. F150's were too big for me, the local Chevy dealer turned me off GM after a shitty service visit, and I personally don't like foreign makes ('Murica! Yeah!). My dog is too old to jump in, so I have to pick him up anyway, so I may as well get something I like, instead of catering to him

Welcome fellow PennsylvanianRangerOwner (Exit 74 PA TPK). Nice Escape, tho, my wife is on her 3rd, a '21. And Nice Tremor! I always wanted one, so I could change 1 letter in the decal to make my name on the side! But my '19 XLT will be swapped out soon, I hope, for a '24, and darn, they are not making the Tremor anymore (yet?)...

Had a 2011 Jeep Liberty with 4WD that I sold to buy the truck. Had it for about 4 years, and put about 80k miles on it. Had every option, was quite comfortable, and performed well off road.

Hope it has a good home now.

I got rid of the old 2001 salvage title Ranger. It was a good truck, but turning into a money pit.

 

[ToddTheCanadian]

Replaced my trusty 2007 Honda Pilot that I had for years. I put that thing through some real paces and had lots of adventures. I'm glad to have something with more ground clearance - hoping not to bottom the Ranger out as much.
(This is my fourth Ranger, I'm loving the 5G so far)
