Congrats :))))
The amount of old rangers I still see on the road around here, despite the salty rust conditions making older vehicles kinda rare on the road, makes me think people still really really want non monster pickups.
Congrats on the HRT tho
Mine was the first vehicle I bought with my own money, and I still drive it every day (although it’s getting a little more painful to fill up since it’s not great on gas).
A word of warning for you Ranger owners: if you have one with the 4.0L SOHC engine, especially an earlier model, take it in and have the timing chain tensioners replaced, or you can do it yourself if you have the tools. It will help prevent the dreaded “death rattle” that could lead to an engine-out repair or even a destroyed engine.
They are fun little trucks to drive. I had one a long time ago for work.
There was a time Rangers were considered larger trucks because they have an extra row of passenger seating.
I’m not old, you’re old!
Naw, those jump seats were only for emergencies and Toyota, Nissan etc had them for years too.
The Dodge Dakota was the first of the compact trucks to get big. Rangers were the last small American* truck sold, S10s went out just before it. When they replaced the Ranger with the Explorer Sport Trac is when the second row of seats got usable. Those things suuucked though.
*Even though it’s a Mazda, sort of.
** I’m old too.
does the r stand for rule 👀
the r stands for the flag 🏳️⚧️🫡
😮
Is this specifically 2001 models only or can my 94 XLT join in the fun too? Either way, congrats OP!
all rangers are welcome here
also holy shit, Mina drives a 94 XLT?!
'96 XL 4x4 checking in!
(No hormones for me, thanks; I like my stick shift just fine the way it is. But I’m glad to feel included.)
That’s how she unwinds when she isn’t liquefying orcs or turning the world into gold.
Man, i used to drive a stick shift '99 f150, solid goddamn truck. 20 years later (and after i learned to drive in it), it broke the original clutch on a hot day pulling other cars out of the mud (somebody else owned it at that point)
Had a 2001 F150… best damn truck. Had nearly 280k on it. Miss that truck. Died trying to haul/move cross country.
Congratulations! I’m not sure I’d describe it quite like that, but who am I to yuck your yum?
