and im willing to bet its been repainted because it doesnt have the 4x4 stickers on it. and those things are expensive when you get quoted on new ones when a truck gets painted. like 70-90 bucks a decal iirc

Yep.

Overspray on the brake control module and on the wire harness along the firewall. The RED paint gives it away though.

It does look similar to the new Grabber Blue. Someone should bring that up and ask if the vehicle was in a accident.

The interior looks very dirty and scuffed up. The tail gate handle looks broken and there's a ding in the rear bumper. That Ranger has seen better days. The asking price is WAY too high IMO.
