Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

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

I've seen quite a few Rangers with service beds. Most of them were 1998 or newer though. They make great little tool trucks for mobile mechanics.


Same color combination as the wienermobile

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.

I like it, would have liked it a bit better with a darker color blue, but still cool looking.

Headed west on 94 coming into Illinois... I passed this car hauler and after I passed it I said to myself... what the hell were those? Curiosity got the best of me and moved to the right and slowed down to get a second look. It was two Blak Ops and one Shelby F150's. Pretty sweet looking trucks...

Not so good pics but the best I could do...

Just the right size to touch the ground.

They've got a couple of those (both Shelby and BW) at my local dealer. The Shelby is REALLY nice and totes a $135k price tag before markup. I saw a single cab Shelby (Super Snake?) on another lot that was an all out race truck. Pretty sure it would scare some of the Hellcats. They've also got a Bronco Raptor at my local dealer. MSRP $85K. They want $125K. It's sweet, but come on...

Yeah... I'm not paying for any of that. I couldn't stop looking at them though. In full transparency... I was eyeballing them so hard I ended up on 294 for or about 6 miles before I realized I missed my exit to 80. That white one was Purdy!

I'm pretty sure the Shelby also had a graphic that said 745. They supercharged it for some huge power.

I hate to even say this... but all the social media on the new Bronco in general pretty much ruined it for me. I'm thinking next gen Ranger... and putz with my Bronco II for my Bronco fix. That view might change if I come across a new one for a good deal. I kinda wish I woulda bought one and sold it for more then I paid for it.

I believe I saw an electric or hybrid F150 in the campground last week. It went driving by making very little noise and the noise it did make was not indicative of internal combustion. Sorry. No pictures. It took me by surprise. Besides, y'all know what an F150 looks like.
