MS-RT Ranger

[Ranger850]

Coolest transit I've ever seen for sure.. and the wheel arches are just the right size and shape.. lower it a little bit and oooooh boy.. perfect.


Don't like the green though lol.

I drive a transit for my work vehicle. Surprising how peppy that thing is in stock form.

I can't say as I am interested either but then I have a BD.

great! Now I gotta google what "BD" means. brb

Edit: BD = Black Diamond
TBH I have no idea what that even means

I really don't care about off roading equipment and capablities when I'm purchasing a vehicle. I like going fast on a freshly paved roads or brand new black top. I like doing burnouts and do-nuts. I like Drifting and dragging. I love the smell of tires melting on hot asphalt. I like cars built for speed. All that off road stuff isn't for me and probably never will be my cup of tea. I like that you all like those things, because I'm always intersted in learning, but I wil never apply this knowledge to anything. SO, IF i was to buy a vehicle for a "toy", just know that it will be low to the ground and wide AF with rubber bands for tires.

I only mentioned the Timberline to add to lamenting about Ford getting away from doing fun stuff.

Black Diamond as in trail difficulty level. They use it for snow skiing. I'm not sure what else it's used for but I imagine just about anything using trails could use it if they wanted.

Here's a link I found that explains the general gist of the color/shape system. Not everyone uses it though.

And in that gist the Black Diamond Bronco is kind of the snow ski package.

Heated marine grade vinyl seats, rubber floor with drains, rear locker, snow rated General Grabber ATx tires, blue interior accents, mountain graphic on the decal.

From my angle it was kind of a diet Badlands (rock crawler package) though. Very similar loadout but no front locker, no sway bar disco, little lower ride height/slightly smaller tire (1") and about $6k cheaper.

Oh, well you see, I would need the "Green Circle" Edition Bronco, So I would have less equipment to remove before I slammed it and put 24" rims with 45 series tires on it

The best Ford can do is a base model. Those are capable of red square trails unless they offer a RWD only model. Then that would be green circle. I'm not sure if that is even an option.

Thank god that mint color isn't factory... or we would have a mint colored Bronco. Everything else she owns is that color... and the reason we have the one we have is if the light catches Cactus Gray just right kind of has a minty hue to it.

I've never thought of "mint" as a blue. That color ( to me ) is more of aqua blue

I do think of mint as the worst flavor ever paired with chocolate.

It was just a reference for my POV. The pics were also just a reference for MY train of thought. * To help Y'all see what's rolling around in my head. The LAST thing I care about is "Off Road capabilites" or whatever. The fact that the pics exist, proves to ME that I'm not the only one.
