I had a 1996 Ranger STX with the 3.0L, underpowered when the A/C was on...and everything else. I had a 2003 Ranger Edge with the 4.0L. Less gas mileage, but more power when I needed it in city or highway. After two F150s, back to a Ranger. I don't tow but the 2.7L was a no brainer to me...

I salute you! At 72, I struggle just to get up!

Might be too late but Long McArthur Ford in Salina, Kansas, is ordering/selling all 2027 Rangers at dealer invoice + $500 acquisition fee to include Ranger Raptor. They get two allocations a month. There is a YouTube video by online salesman Tim Bartz explaining it. Too bad they do not come...

I have a Phoenix (chemically similar to Line-X) spray-in that protects the bed and tailgate. I have a Weathertech liner on top of the spray-in that protects the cargo.

Just curious, since you live in New Hampshire, which is not that big a State. I went online and found several NH Ford dealers with new Ranger Raptor's in stock. Have you gone to more than just one dealer? Nothing in NH matches what you want? Not even just across the State line? Nothing in my...

Gen 6 Rangers are much roomier than my 1996 or 2003 Ranger. I think the Gen 6 is comparable to a 2000 Ford F 150 in dimensions. Lots of theories out there about why Ford gives the NA Ranger little love but people still drop wads of money on new F150s. Was at my dealer last year when looking...

I was with USAA for 47 years. Two claims in that time, one I backed into someone (glad we now have cameras and warnings) and the other I got hit, both over 25 years ago. No speeding tickets or any similar citations in last 30 years. Watched USAA rates go up not only for reasons mentioned...

Yep, because her feet are in them at the time.

The passenger side glove box area because my wife keeps putting her dirty shoes up there. Maybe we need an optional passenger-side cattle prod seat.

October 2025 purchase. Just had my one-year oil change and tire rotation at 4,800 miles. Inching closer to 5,000 soon.

I see several Gen 2 and Gen 3 around my rural area, a couple Ranger Tremor, and my Lone Ranger Lariat. I have not seen any RR on the rural roads. My dealer has a White one on his lot, for a couple months now.

Might not be legal. Check your State law regarding what driving conditions you can use fog lights and with what beam level.

Black Appearance Package.

Tetrion spray paint might do it. It's for plastic outdoor items like outdoor furniture. Requires cleaning prep, then three to four light coats. Has adhesion enabler and UV protection. Check Amazon.

My first truck was a new 1996 Ford Ranger STX Extended Cab (see the Rangers We Have Known thread). Traded it in for a new 2003 Ford Ranger Edge Extended Cab. In 2010, we had the gas guzzler rebate. Went to my dealer and found out I could get a new Ford F150 FX4 Extended Cab for not much money...
