We’re picking up our new Ranger today at 5pm. We’re trading our 2006 Ranger. Nice little truck. Great for hauling dirt, rocks, mulch, wood, boat, and utility trailer. Small enough to zip around and it gets great gas mileage.
Trust your gut...don’t go with what’s popular or the “in” truck at the moment.
I see... you’re trading it in after only two or three years?
Yeah. No.
It’s not what’s popular. It’s not what’s “in”. It’s called getting value for money and NOT having to trade your truck in every three years because you’re afraid it’s going to die.
My buddy’s 04 Ranger EDGE turned five last November. All of a sudden, the interior parts are falling off and the ABS block is malfunctioning.
I'd still have it today, but someone shot it and cracked the block a few years back. I sold it as scrap because I didn't have the time or money to fix it at that point. Shame, because it had 450,000 miles on the original engine and transmission.
I would have bought another one later, but my needs changed. Today I have this as my "knockabout/don't care" vehicle:
244K and counting....
