I really wanted to make a deal for this one... just too much money.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I love the squared off fender flares.

Might be a mod I do some day.. as long as the matching fenders&rear quarters can be had at a reasonable price.

56K doesn't seem so bad... when compared to the 75K fir the heritage edition Baby Blue Bronco.

But... the Ranger Raptor has too many doors.

Oh with 2 kids at home still it has just the right amount for me. Wife really likes the Heritage Broncos. The are around 65k here. She likes the ones with the white wheels. I need to focus on what I got and get them paid off first. I still have a year on my 20 and not sure what she has on the Edge

I'm hoping when I'm ready for a new truck down the line they will be some affordable used Raptor Rangers.

I would love to get my hands on an old crew cab truck like what the forest service used to use. Think a lot of them were F250 class trucks with a 6 foot bed.

I was disappointed that ford didn't offer a 6ft bed on rhe crew cabs. I know Nissan did. I'm not sure if Toyota does or not. But that being said the wheel base with the 5ft bed is probably better for what I do with it. If Corey would have had the Edge when I bought my Ranger I probably would have went with a super cab with the 6ft bed. I really like the look of the super cabs I see built out. Plus with a 6 ft bed I could do a sleeping setup in the rear. I'm fixing to redo my whole bed setup. My boss gave me an old roll out bed tray. I may have to modify it slightly to fit it in the bed and mount my aux battery up off the floor. When I clear it out. I wanna raptor coat the whole inside of my bed before I put everything back in. I'm just waiting on warmer weather.

Toyota used to offer the 6' bed but only in certain configurations. I'm not sure if they still do or not.

Yeah, the 5' bed does not work for me sleeping in it. I tried and it did not go well. The 2011's 6' bed has been just fine.

I've seen a couple 2wd F-250's like that. Always diesel... could do a 4x4 swap though.
