Hey guys, so yes I'm a Tacoma owner but I have always liked Ford Rangers. I thought I'd join the site to learn more about them.

I don't know how you guys feel about Tacomas, but I personally don't have anything against other trucks at all - I think Rangers are awesome.

I posted some pics if you're interested in what I drive.

 

i like your bumper/skidplate. your truck looks good too. make a sig of engine, trans and other info. welcome to site. i'm fan of the olde taco's.

 

Welcome.. Nice lookin Taco you got there.

Any specs on it?

 

Thats a good lookin Taco! Welcome to the site!

 

I thought I uploaded it to my profile and I think I just made a signature with some of them

 

welcome, nice lookin truck ya got, im lovin that bumper.

 

Thanks. The bumper is made by Relentless Fabrication. He's a small fabrication company who is mainly doing stuff for tacomas. I got the rear bumper also.

 

Nice looking truck, loving the bumpers on there. What engine ya got?

 

Welcome, Badass truck.. I love the bumpers!

 

just the 2.7 but the 4.88s get those tires spinnin pretty good

 

So whats the general thought around here about tacomas versus rangers? better/worst/just different/pros/cons? just curious

 

I like both the front and rear bumpers and it would be awesome if he made some at an affordable price for the Ranger

 

i had a friend with a tacoma. much bigger, and roomier on the inside, usable rear seats. better aftermarket...

I wish we had the aftermarket tacos have

 

I figured there would be tons of aftermarket stuff for rangers. I like them because they are smaller in size - kinda like the older tacomas. I think rangers are the only real compact size trucks out there. They seem better for trails and stuff like that.

 

they are the only small truck left for sure, compare a new tacoma to the older tundras. almost the same size wise.

the aftermarket for the ranger can be ok if you know where to look, but its more expensive as there are less manufacturers (for example 4wd lifts for 98+, only option is superlift suspension wise)

 

Tacos are great trucks I own one too, your's looks good. Welcome to the site Taco boy.

 

^^Haha taco boy nice looking truck you got there welcome

 

Welcome. I like tacomas, especially the old ones. Yours looks really good.

 

What about rangers with long travel suspension? It seems like those are the ones to get if you're planning on going LT.

 

Yeah dixion brothers makes a real good long travel kit for the rangers... If rangers had the aftermarket tacomas did then we all would be alot more happy lol

 

Welcome!

 

here are a few pics of my dads 08. Its got 9 inches of lift with 37 toyos.

 

Thats a nice lookin truck. I decided against a drop bracket lift. What gears is he running?

 

stock 4.11 i think for now but 4.88's in like a month. Ya its my dads baby lol, my ranger is high, but it towers over mine lol. If I can, ill take a pic with mine next to his in the next few days. He is nuts tho, he spent like 420 on one tire lol. I geuss its his money lol.
