If TRS / I built a Ranger for the 25th anniversary of TheRangerStation.com, what do you think it should be?

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
A new body style, pre-production 2024 Ranger…

If we're keeping TRS relevant to current Rangers, then it should be a 19+ build IMO.

Since Jim isn't made out of money, which ever one is easiest and cheapest to do whatever he plans to do it. I doubt the new Ranger lends itself to either of those qualifications.

Considering $$$ is a huge limitation, I'd have to go with a 1st or 2nd gen Ranger.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Something with a new ranger. Gotta keep a fresh face.

Keep your mind like an umbrella, it only works if its open... Continually learning.
Whatever the build. I would claim it as a student loan for forgiveness and have it built for free.

I think a rally style AWD would be cool.

Something with 4-wheel-drive, a 4.0 V-6 engine, and a 6-foot bed.

This is my Ranger. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
New Ranger but throwback styling and paint? like they did with these F150's?
