2019 ford ranger review....

[goeduck]

Not a good time to buy a new or used vehicle.

Agree, I wonder if 2022 will be better.

Just a guess on my part but, assuming no shut down, should get better in 2022. I'm thinking about the time when we bought most all the junkers off the road. During that time was a good time to buy, but the next year there were no "reasonably" priced used cars, which caused new cars to be expensive too. The following two years after, the prices on new vehicle went down.

Glad we got a 2019 and quite happy with it.

Let me add, we plan to dive it until it rusts away.

Below is the email for our local dealership. No new Rangers here!!

Hi Arlyn,

At this time I do not have any Rangers in stock. I would be happy to place a retail order for one.

Sorry for the delayed response, I was on vacation.

Thanks,

How are aluminum vehicles holding up for those of you in salt country?

 

[ArlyA]

Seem OK to me but we only at 20K of miles on them.

A ranger at work this weekend. Yes, its a working truck.

The original tires are now showing much wear so we'll be getting steel rims for it this fall and get snow tires mounted on them. This is what we do for all our vehicles. That is have two sets of rims for summer/winter use.
Don't you??

I did for my first vehicle, an '83 Toyota 2wd Delux pickup. That was back in MO. when winters always had snow and often for a week or more at a time.
We (Me, Dad and my younger brother) also filled some burlap bags with creek gravel and placed between the rear wheel wells. It was impressive how well that little truck got around!

The ranger gets tool holders added to the bed-side rack. As you can see, I had to make special brackets for all the tie downs rubber clamp thingys. (can't recall that they are called) Can anyone identify what that digging bar is really designed to do?? Yes, its a trick question that I know the answer to.

I used to use a bar similar for breaking rocks into manageable pieces to get them out of the post hole.

Spear someone if you get in an accident and the strappy things break?

Ford SportTrac compared to the Ford Ranger.
The Ranger is larger.

I zoomed in expecting to see a cable between the two. As in a pull-off competion.

No, I just saw it in the parking lot where I was parking and backed to it for the photo op. I used to have a Sport Trac and really liked it.

Put the two together and you have one real pickup bed. (Sorry, just my attitude toward short beds.)

The Ranger out camping this weekend. We were doing trail work and having fun in general.

 

[ArlyA]

More at camp.

After being out on the trail all day, we found the dog here.

Its shorter and lighter than a digging bar and made for prying castings apart. It works great for rolling logs in the feild and unpinching your saws bar.

The dog got got away?
