Just made my first payment after having my new Ranger Lariat for about a month. It looks great and was worth the wait. Signed up for X-plan pricing by joining the Mustang Club. It was great not having to negotiate....and I got the $750 bonus cash too. No lease deals unfortunately but it's still $25 bucks less a month than my Tacoma Limited was.
Special thanks to Pines Fprd and my awesome dealer Jorge Villanueva!
Switched my insurance to USAA since I hear their service is fantastic.
My first impression is that the Ranger is "more refined" than the Taco. The transmission is definitely smoother and the ride is softer. And that's perfect for me as I never do off roading. This truck is to look good driving around South Florida.
The engine on-off takes some getting used to and I find myself just switching it off most of the time. Using a blinker in Miami is a sign of weakness so I'm trying to use it more as the lane assist seems to always be fighting me. Something else to get used to. Even after a month I'm still not exactly sure how to work the auto wipers.
The Tacoma never got more than 17 mpg...so far the Ranger is around 20. Haven't been on a road trip anxious to see if I can get more on the highway.
I really wish this truck came with a Sunroof. Living in a place with nice weather all year long I used to open it all the time.
And yes I get stopped all the time by people asking 'hey is that the new Ranger?"
