TRS Event Ford Ranger 40th Anniversary - Truck Nationals - Carlisle PA

[Jim Oaks]

August 4th - 6th, 2023 - Carlisle, Pennsylvania​

Celebrate 40 Years of the Ford Ranger in August at Carlisle (carlisleevents.com)

For 2023, the Carlisle Truck Nationals is showcasing 40 years of the Ford Ranger. The popular truck has been with us since the 80s in a variety of body styles and designs. This year, from August 4-6, we aim to celebrate its history and popularity. The display is coming to Building T and you can apply today to be part of the fun. If selected, you'll not only sit front and center within the building, you'll be showcased on social media and in the event guide too. Learn more online and apply today!

Don't have a Ford Ranger but still want to attend? Showfield registration is 10% savings off now through June 20 and discounted spectator admission tickets are available too. Best of all, kids 12 and under are admitted FREE. Call 717-243-7855 today or visit us on the web to learn more.

The Ranger Station - We'll Be There, Will You?:

The Ford Ranger has been around for 40-years, and TheRangerStation.com (TRS) has been around for 24 of those years! In fact, there isn't another Ford Ranger resource that's been around longer than TRS! We think it's only fitting that TRS attends this event.

Some of the TRS Forum Staff will be in attendance and we hope that our forum members will come out and join us. Bring your Ford Ranger and proudly show it off as a member of our community - gathered in person as a community!

We'll be giving out special event TRS stickers on a first come - first serve basis.

Post below if you plan to attend so we can start a list of attendees.

Register Under The Ranger Station Club Name & They'll Give Us A Tent:

I have added The Ranger Station as a list of clubs. We need at least 15 people to register under The Ranger Station to get a tent. See below:

"Hi James,

You are welcome! I was excited to see your club come in, especially since this year is the 40th Anniversary of the Ranger! I have added your club to be an official club at Truck Nationals! I’m not sure if you have ever attended the event, but I can answer any questions you may have. First, let me explain how our “club program” works! (I apologize for the long email in advance)

Your members will now be able to select your club when registering for the Showfield (whether they do it online at https://store.carlisleevents.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=28 or on the phone, 717-243-7855). This is how we will be able to tell how many people are registered under your club, which matters for a couple of reasons. As a new club, we have a new rule in place that you must have 15 vehicles registered under your club by the Gate-N-Go & Club Tent Deadline of June 20th to get a club tent at the show. At any point of time that you want to check and see how many people are registered, you can reach out to me and I can provide you a list. Once you hit 15, you can turn in the attached form to purchase a club tent. If you are able to reach 25 members registered by the deadline, you would actually get a FREE club tent! If you hit 25 members by the conclusion of this year’s Truck Nationals, then the next year you’d automatically get a free club tent!

The club tent is meant to be a place that your club members can hang out! The rules for the club tent are in the attachment above. We would allot a place for your club tent and some parking around the tent. The event map would show your club name and denote where your spot is. If any of your members have already registered, they can call in to our office at 717-243-7855 to get your club added to their registration!"

I still need to see if I can get the Truck Nationals to let me display the TRS-2 Ford Ranger.

For anyone that's gone to the Truck Nationals before ( @JohnnyO ) does Skyjacker Suspension come there and put on a display? If Carlisle won't let me display it maybe I can get it in the Skyjacker display. This thing has had the same Skyjacker Suspension kit on it since 2005 for a total of 18-years.

I saw something on the site regarding “featured vehicle” or something like that. There is an additional application for that where you send them pictures and a write-up of why it should be featured. You probably have the info for the write up right here in this website somewhere. Just copy and paste with some pictures.

looks good all clean and shiny.

I leave the county only for doctors visits anymore. I hope pictures will be posted.

Oh. Come visit. You may be the only “old geek” here. But several of us are technically old geeks.

. . . and some of us are non-technology old geeks.

Will TRS have a group tent on the Non-judged show field? I go every year, but normally register with a group for my fullsize trucks.

 

[Jim Oaks]

That's the goal, but first I have to get them to list TRS as a club for people to check when they register. I'll call Monday.

 

[sgtsandman]

I'm making plans to be there and my girlfriend is looking into whether she can attend as well or not. If she can, then, both Rangers might be there. In the end, it all depends on the Air Force and whether they want me to have a life or not and my girlfriend's work schedule. So, it could be just me, both me and the girlfriend (possibly her daughter as well), or none of us at all.

Good luck with that.

I thought that we were an unruly mob of degenerates.

You're not supposed to say the inside words out loud.

A road trip sounds nice, but alas..
