How many old Rangers do you see on the road?

Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
Only a few left in Pittsburgh.

Usually get a wave from the old dudes driving them

Not many. Road salt has taken it's toll and most people don't care enough about their vehicles to put the work into keeping them on the road.

the grey-t escape
rarely do I see a gen 1, theres a couple gen 2’s but there not in great shape. quite a few gen 3’s, its rusty around here so anything over 20 years old isnt very common on the roads. theres plenty of newer stuff (gen 4 & up) and Ive seen quite a few 2019’s around.

I'd say I probably see at least one a day. Mostly 93-00's. I do see a 90 or 91 ranger around town quite a bit. Seems like I never saw very many rangers until mine broke and I was driving something other than a ranger. I try to compare ford and chevy trucks on the road to see what average I see going to work and home and it seems about even.

There are very few early first gens running around up here. Mid to late 80's, fairly common... second gens are all over, lots of 93 and up. Dunno why 83, 84, 85 are so uncommon.

Off the road... I know of quite a few that have been sitting in yards/fields/etc for a long time.

I almost never see Bronco IIs these days. They are almost totally gone and the few that I know of are really beat up.

A difference in how people view their vehicles? Let's just say the Democratic party is strong around here and leave it at that.

There could be that. We have both. Annually. There is a bill introduced to change one of them to every other year. Emissions, I think. PA likes their tax revenue, so I don't see that passing.

Im so glad i dont live in a state with that stuff. It costs enough to keep stuff on the road without gettin popped by the perfect police.
