If you had a Ranger and sold it or traded it, why'd you do it? What do you have now?

 

I have an 2005 F150 now, the ranger just wasn't enough truck for me got tired of always having to borrow my dad's and grandpa's truck when I wanted to tow something over 5,000 which is atleast once a week. Also seat four people comfortably....

 

I bought my 98 because I got a banging deal on it and I was 16.

I sold it because I am moving across country and it would be crazy expensive to get it registered in that state.

I bought my 96 because I wanted a toy that was bagged and fun to fu(k with.

I sold it because I didn't feel like renting a garage for the winter to store it and didn't feel like putting more money into it.

 

Didn't know you were moving. Where ya going and what ya getting?

 

I'm moving to California in May after I graduate college.

I am looking at either a mustang or a silverado 1500/f150

 

I sold my last ranger because I needed to get rid of all my debt to buy a house. I sold it in 2006 and then I drove a 2000 Explorer up until last november. I traded that due to me fearing the tranny was on its way out. I bought a 98 ram 4x4 because I wanted a full size so I could tow car trailers and I wanted to pay cash. Plus it only had 38K miles so it was like a brand new truck for less than 10K


^ last ranger



^ new dodge

Sold my 1993 Splash because of almost being laid off and needed the cash turns out i didnt get laid off...

sold my 1994 Splash because well it was a pyle of shat..

sold my 1993 silver truck due to issues with it...


bought a 2000 ranger because well i still like rangers..

 

Traded my '04 ranger for an '08 F-150 basically because I could. No rhyme or reason just got a bug up my butt and made the deal.

 

That's a real purty lookin Ram.

Ranger was sweet too. DSG FTW.

 

personally if i ever have to get rid of the ranger then id a big diesel. love to have both but everyone knows how that goes.

 

I would only upgrade to a larger truck if I was hauling a lot of stuff or using it for work.

I use my truck for those purposes right now and I just find it isn't big enough for work. But when it comes to daily driving and daily use, it's just the right size.

 

This is perfect for daily driving and daily use!!!

 

Can't disagree with that. That's friggin secksy.

 

I've got a Subaru FXT now.

Sold my Level 2 because it was going through slave cylinders every 2k miles and I was moving away to school which would make it difficult if it failed while I was there.

 

I still have my Ranger, but I got my Dodge purely for work. The Ranger isn't big enough, and couldn't haul anything like the Dodge can. Sure, I lost a bit of cab space, but I can't really tell.

 

Those rims are nasty! Why go all black and then do stainless shocks and a stainless cross member?

 

Those are the ugliest things to have ever come off GM's production line.

 

agreed 100%!!!! i want a diesel so bad.... and i cant even drive by myself... legally. Might have to work real hard and save up for a decent diesel before high school is over.

 

Don't waste your money on a diesel when you aren't even out of high school.

 

I want to switch to either a Taco, F150 or Silverado. I commute to work so I'd probably stay away from a full size unless I found a cheap gas saver. Reason I would sell the Ranger is because the lack of interior space, no 4 doors(on mine), lack of power windows and locks(on mine), harsh ride and just plain crappy transmission. I'm replacing the slave once a year on a stock truck. Not cool.

 

trade it in on another ranger that has all the things your truck lacks.

 

I'm on slave number 3 in 250 000 miles. First one failed at 70k miles. 2nd one got changed at 240k when my clutch was replaced.

 

I did a downgrade to the Ranger for gas mileage (hahaha I'm rolling right now) and the fact I wanted a newer nicer truck. Honestly, as much as I like my Ranger, I'm getting ready to sell it for something bigger again... fullsize itch has me goin again.... that and if I'm getting worse gas mileage than a fullsize and I'm running around in a V6... c'mon, common sense says get the power! OH I get 13.8 average MPG.

 

that is a def bad *** truck....

 

I average 16-17mpg on daily driving accoring to the RPS mpg calculator. 200 miles with a quarter tank left usually.

However, fullsizes also have bigger tanks = cost more to fill.
