What Is the Name/Nickname of Your Ranger?

[Phik]

No mystery. And, everybody knows.

That's great. Normally I find personalized plates tacky, but this is excellent in my opinion.

Not sure if this is a guy thing, a girl thing, or a couples thing, but the wife and I usually come up with names for our vehicles, for example, calling our Honda Civic Wagon "the Little C" and its replacement, a Honda CRV, "the Big C," etc. I expect that, at some point, we will come up with a name for our present ride, a Ranger Lariat, but until then, "the truck," or "the Ranger" will have to do....

Maybe this is just a "girl" thing, but my wife has always named her vehicles through the years. Lucy, for her Buick Lucerne. Ruby, for her red Lincoln MKX. And now Pearl, for her Lincoln Nautilus. My Ranger is the first vehicle that she succeeded in talking me into naming. Well, since it is a Ranger, and I live in Texas, AND I am a Texas Rangers fan (both baseball and law enforcement), I have nicknamed my Ranger "Tex". I know, that is kind of corny, but then again, so is naming a vehicle. Am I the only one with a name for my Ranger?

Uh, Ranger?

Naming vehicles makes no sense

Of course it makes no sense. It is an emotional thing. You either feel it, or you don't!

Kemosabe.

Tonto's name for the Lone Ranger was Kemosabe, which meant "Faithful Friend".

Stumpy

The original "Chicken Joe" was my '97 Ranger I drove for 20 years. At the end, it really looked like it ?

CJ2 is the new, and improved version ?

Big Blue, Like my login. Started out as "Babe", for the blue ox, but the wife started calling it "Big Blue" so it got changed. My old Ranger was "Black Beauty" because it was black of course.

I named mine Lil' Red. I'm a huge Nebraska Cornhusker fan and of course, my truck is red and it is little. Haha!!

Traded in a F150 Super Crew that was named Henry but we called him Hank for short. The Ranger is now known as Hank Jr.

 

[cclayton]

Rowdy Ranger or Rowdy for short

Fitting name for the bouncy ass stock suspension

My former Ranger was the Gutless Wonder, a name it earned on the I-90 hill at Vantage, WA. I loved that truck, but the little 2.3 L engine was a little short on power.

No such power problem with the new Ranger. According to the Fordpass app, this one is "Gutsy." Doesn't have much ring to it, but it certainly distinguishes it from its predecessor.

Gossamer. Daughter‘s idea... which I liked.

 

[bigtim1919]

Named my truck "Hoss." Just seemed to fit.

Mine is sapphire, passed down the line from my last car that was basically the same color lol

I think Sapphire would have been a more fitting color name for that pretty blue!
