I would love my Ranger if it was bare bones! It's just a great truck. I have never had all that fancy stuff & would not have missed it. But, I have really enjoyed it since I bought the truck. I think you will love the Ranger whichever package you choose!Thanks. Yeah I would definitely not class myself as an audio snob. For example I use bose soundlink headphones whenever I exercise and they sound great to me. I know some people consider that "premium sound" but I've read plenty of audio snobs say bose sucks so I don't know. Thanks for your feedback.
Yeah that's true. I consider that stuff optional not mandatory though. It would be nice to have but I have never had any of it before so I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker. I think you can add all of that stuff aftermarket (with the exception of the adaptive cruise control?) for a comparable price so I guess I can add good sound later if I'm unhappy and I know the remote start kit is something like 200 bucks. Not sure about the wipers, frankly never even heard of those before this.
I considered the wipers gimmicky but maybe I'm wrong. I know I swapped to keyless entry/push button start about 5 years ago and I'm NEVER going back. One of the main reasons I started looking at the Ranger over the Canyon actually. So many people in the Canyon forums saying dumb stuff like "hOw HaRd iS It tO tUrN a KeY???". It's not hard, but if you're carrying stuff or wearing coats, gloves, etc, a lot of the time it's inconvenient to have to fish out the key from your pocket just to push a button that is totally unnecessary. Even worse that the key isn't attached to the FOB so the FOB smacks against the steering column any time you go over a bump. In a Denali trim level? Come on....
So yeah, I can see your points. I guess I'll keep an open mind. I am most concerned with getting at least a Lariat 4x4 and I want to get a good deal. So if I can get a good deal for one with a tech package, I just might do that. Thanks for everyone's feedback!
