If they made one with the V-8 and AWD like my SHO, I would buy one because 2019 is the last year for the SHO...

Had a 2008 ford taurus limited that was bullet proof up to 108,000 miles,sold it to a friend.Figured it was time to trade up to our 2018 limited AWD got a great deal on it only had 11,000 miles on the OD,local trade..Everyone wants a truck or SUV so cars IMHO are selling cheap.

Ya, I like having both the car and truck, when I take a trip I like driving a comfortable race car...:D

I'm not brand loyal at all, it's just that there's something about the Tundra that I don't like.

Probably the fact that it's a complete dinosaur! Rather shocking Toyota has pretty much abandoned the full size truck market by leaving the Tundra to languish in obscurity. When I was truck shopping back in the spring, giving all makes a fair chance, I was rather shocked at the state of the "new" Tundra. I think only a Toyota fan-boy would purchase such a thing.

I finally got around to driving a ranger xlt yesterday. We dove on a pot hole filled bumpy road and I was a bit rattled. It is not as smooth as my F150.

Then I asked the salesman why the warning were not audible and he could not find a setting to turn on the audible warnings like blindspot and lane departure. Another salesman said the blindspot audio warning only come on when there is a car in your blindspot AND you cross over into that lane. That's too late and does not sound right. My KIA's safety warning Technology works flawlessly so I was a little disappointed in the Ranger. Did the dealer just not know his product and should I try another test drive at a different dealer? The lack of safety technology audio warnings is a deal breaker for me.

I wonder if there is an audible warning? My F150 blind spot warning is only the light in the mirrors. Cars I've driven with lane departure only had steering wheel vibration. I wouldn't want an audible blind spot warning. I never change lanes without looking in the mirror.

Don, We found the ranger, did not ride quite as nice as the taco did over bumps. A slight difference anyway.

We've liked the lane and collision warning signals system this ranger has. Maybe we're missing something?
