Just the right size to touch the ground.
Did you order the Bronco or was it an off the lot purchase? Glad to hear you've had no issues so far.
Bought it off the lot new. Had 8 miles on it. Paid $1,500 over msrp but only waited 2 hours. Would have preferred to have the Sasquatch package but I'm also not minding the 21 mpg I'm getting right now.

I was flipping channels, and I found this old TV series and spotted the Ford Ranger.

I never watched Baywatch when it was first on, but with my late-in-years love of Rangers and Ford trucks, I’ve decided to record and watch the entire series.

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

You just want to see the trucks. Right?

Grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s
on, old baywatch stuff. i don't remember seeing rangers on the beach as life guard trucks when i was a kid but i wasn't really looking at the lifeguard vehicle either. boogie boarding and body surfing generally took the beach time with some girl watching mixed in

if he hasn’t posted in a while, I don’t see any need to disturb him. I’m pretty comfortable just doing my research by watching the television program.

From what I’ve seen in just two episodes, it seems to be pretty adequate to see the moves that are going on on the beach, how they get around, Even where they go at night. It’s very informative

Saw this yesterday at my local ford dealer, there was also a old falcon-based ranchero on display next door at the same dealers honda dealership, didnt see it until the second trip through to show the wife the bronco. Those white wheels aren’t steel, its painted alloy. Oddly enough there wasnt a newer (2019+) generation ranger on the lot. Maybe 5 broncos total and one hybrid maverick. Really liked this blue bronco.

The salesman that sold us out Bronco got a twin to that for his wife.

Looks like it is trying too hard to look old. Not really digging the red lettering either.
