I honestly think that is a bit of a justification. The chips they are using are old designs, but they are tried and tested and is most likely one reason why they use them rather than use new, unproven designs.
Chip makers will make whatever customers want to buy, especially in the volumes that...
For the mulch and topsoil (and firewood), I think the depth of the bed helps offset the length. It is a very deep bed. I used to do Boy Scout trips as well, so I understand needing as much volume as possible.
All good points - as I said - for me, it wasn't nearly as big of a deal as I thought...
Just a different perspective on this one - I thought that having the short bed was going to be a BIG deal for me (I use my truck as a truck and haul a fair amount of stuff with it), but after almost 2 1/2 years, it really hasn't been. I bought a bed extender which I've only used twice. The...
4 years from final design approval to production seems like a very LONG time. But maybe they are just hedging their bets due to all the issues with the current launches. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I wonder how long the 2023 order banks will stay open? I knew there was...
Wow - that is pretty cool. I had never even thought of using the onboard generator that way. It could be used as an emergency generator for the house as well if you have a cutoff switch installed.
Hopefully the new Ranger will have this as well. This would be a killer feature.
I love the 10 speed - I like manuals, but my knees can't take a manual in daily driving anymore. I'm really looking forward to seeing what is officially announced for the 6g model. Given how much I love my 2019, the only thing that would really convince me to trade it in would be significantly...
At this point probably the only thing that would spur me to trade my 2019 is if they come out with a hybrid Ranger that significantly improves the MPG - if they came out with a hybrid that had a crew cab and a 6' bed it would be pretty much a slam dunk for me.....
We have a 2016 C-Max Hybrid...
My first car (which I still own), was a 1973 Mercury Capri - this is what is looked like back in the mid 80's (after I painted it - it was a pea green when I bought it):
And this is what it looks like today, after a restoration about 10 years ago:
My 2019 is my fourth Ranger - I had a 2000...
The first one hurts the most, but it is a truck after all, and if you use it as a truck, it is going to get scratched and dinged.
I did my first boo boo after having it for 2 days. But after 11 months, it still looks really good I think. Only a few bumps and bruises.
I'm so sorry for that - but it sounds like the truck did what it was supposed to. Glad you and your wife are OK.
Post photos of your new one when you get it!
Thanks to @OregonRanger , I now have running boards on my truck!
So far, I'm liking them. For a net investment of a few hours time and about $50 in bolts to attach them, I'm pretty happy. I'd call it a win/win.
Super nice guy who owns a BEAUTIFUL Ranger.
Thank you, @OregonRanger
I like chrome, and I REALLY wanted chrome bumpers (not painted), but the chrome package was just a bit too much chrome for me. But I absolutely LOVE the Red.....
You know, I REALLY like the look of the Supercab, but I REALLY like having a full back seat and 4 doors. I hope they end up offering a 6+ foot bed on the next Ranger with a crew cab. That was one of the things I really liked about the Tacoma. They offered a 6' bed with a crew cab. It...
