I maybe dating myself with the title - but there are times I like to drop the shifter to S - and when the light goes green - drive like I stole the truck. This truck just gets up and moves very quickly and you get to see the beauty of this powertrain - that transmission takes you right to redline and then shifts so smoothly. I do like that - MPG be damned
Yes when I can - got a Borla/Ford cat back and waiting for the Ford Performance ProCal pac with drop in air cleaner. Use 93 Oct get it 20 miles away in Iowa for less than regular in IL.

Okay so maybe the Mustang would be a little more fun than the Ranger.
On the road everyone expects the Mustang to be fast (if driven correctly), but no one expects a new Ranger to be fast (unless you own one and drive it in Sport mode..... ssshhhhhh, let this be our little secret)

I’m giving her all she’s got Captain!

It was actually really smooth and mellow getting there and maintaining speed. felt like I was going 60.

Also noted that cruise control will max out at 110...:sunglasses:

Hmmm, the Entertainment song in the display should be Radar Love by Golden Earring next time ... (and we all know there will be a next time :sunglasses:)

Retired for now!
Nope. An ole fuddy duddy doing the speed limit or less and taking it easy and getting great gas mileage with the Ranger. No issues with gas in the oil either, if floor boarding it has anything to do with that. I want this new Ranger to last a long time!
Now when I am riding my Harley, I turn into Mr. Cool and sometimes take off really fast. At a normal cruising speed though, the Harley gets about 47+ MPG!
