Like Jim mentioned, Ford doesn't care about some little guy that has a website...they want those millionaire reviewer companies to boast about the vehicle even if its a total piece of shit...which is exactly what those review companies do, the automaker pays them big bucks to skip over the long list of terrible flaws a vehicle has...so guess who gets the cool loaner/long term test vehicles...yep those multi-million dollar testing and reviewing companies.
That being said, given TRS has been around for 20 years promoting the Ranger and Bronco 2, as well as other vehicles, Ford should do something even if its only for a few months to sport the new truck and show off TRS as the long running forum that's kept many RBV's out of the scrap yards, and/or salvaged many from the scrap yards.
Any way to set up some sort of crowd funding source to possibly help TRS get a Ranger? A 1999 and a 2019 Ranger would be awesome for TRS.
