Well I have only owned 2 trucks but here they are.

[1] 1998 Ranger sport 4x4 with the 3.0 (wish I could have kept it but it had a hard life and was becoming a money pit. Im going to get another when I can.)

[2] 2003 Silverado 2500HD LT 4x4 with the 6.0

Neither is anything special, but here they are together the day before the new owner picked up the ranger.

Trucks that I've owned (not including all the cars inbetween), in order;

1987 Isuzu Trooper II 2.3 stock
1988 Isuzu Trooper II 2.6, bodylift with 33s
1991 Isuzu Rodeo LS 3.1
1989 Mazda B2200 SE5
1995 Nissan Harbody King Cab 2.4
1988 Mazda B2200 Cab Plus LX
1990 Mazda B2600i
2002 Mazda B4000

My favourite is a tie between my current B4000, and my old B2200 which I built up over 2 years and even had it in Minitruckin Magazine.

Stock, the day I bought it, March 2006

I regret selling it. Biggest mistake I made, but with my current situation, it would have been sold by now anyways, or currently be for sale.

My first vehicle ever was an '84 ranger. It was "Mohave desert tan". The color of dirt. I would beat the crap out of it and paint over it with spray cans. I used to keep spray paint cans behind the seats and paint over the scratches and dents as they happened. Off roadin, trees, utility poles, lawn mowers, hamas rockets, etc. Spray paint and good as new.

i only own and have only owned two trucks...but its split 50/50 and depending on my mood.

93 F-150 - its my DD (for now until i tear into it) and usually choose this for most of the time.

1988 F-350 - this is when i wanna make some noise, back up when i dont wanna drive my F-150 (or need to use it), for work or wheelin.

but id say my 93 has the top spot, especially since its the first vehicle i owned and still have it.

Im 36 years old and I have owned a ton of Rangers and F-150's over the years but by far my fav was my little beater 87 Ranger with a junk 2.3 turbo motor.




http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/743/10164/181382.jpg

It ran 11's on street tires and pissed alot of people off in town here.

I drove it 365 days a year thru 3 Michigan winters like this.

I've owned 5 "trucks". 2 Rangers, a Jeep Wagoneer (XJ, not the big bastard ones), a 4Runner, and the Dodge.

My current Ranger is obviously my favorite truck of all time. That's why I can't get rid of it. I thought about selling it recently, but I then slapped myself upside the head with my keyboard. And I don't mean just a tap. I took that keyboard, and beat the living crap out of my head.

Next would be my old 4Runner. It was actually my parents, but was supposed to be my graduation present. Instead, my dad traded it and my old Geo that I never really drove that much for a 72 Bronco. I loved that 4Runner. But, it had 265K miles on it, and was leaking every fluid known to man (including urine).

Next is a toss up between my Jeep and my Dodge. I really miss my Jeep, because I would have loved to make it a wheeler, but the damn thing just wasn't practical for me to keep. It needed a lot of work. The Dodge is more practical, but it needs a lot MORE work.

And lastly, my old Ranger. I got it from my Dad for free as a little project truck, but traded it for my Jeep because it was a piece of crap. The last time I saw it, the dealer I traded it to let somebody take it for a test drive, and they broke down. The guy still bought it, though. LOL!

Here are pictures of them in order:

You don't have this Bronco anymore do ya? If so, post more pics and info. You must have mistyped...because the Broncos never came with the 5.4. It was either the 4.9, 5.0 or 5.8. If you sold it, how much did you sell it for? I've seen Broncos on FSB that are clean with low miles like that go for over 15k.
