What did you do to your 2019 and up Ranger today?

We did just fine with steam powered cars for a while too. Hell, horses worked just fine. I mean with that argument why did we even bother inventing the wheel?

Im going back to my cave now!

A caveman invented the wheel, obviously because he wanted to do a burnout... which Is manly... the opposite of a tailgate damper.

Not even on the same level.

This is more like tailfins in the 50's that everybody made a big deal out of but had no great effect on real life.

Everyone knows tail fins added horsepower...

Im surprised we as a species even managed to survive the amount of years that tailgates had been a thing before the damper came along.

Marketing is a powerful drug lol. I wonder when the glove box damper is gonna hit the market..

Looks like a couple of brands already have them, and, surprise, they break and need to be replaced. I googled "glove box damper", and got a half dozen videos on how to replace your glove box damper.

My old ramcharger's glove box door folded down flat and had cup holders in it, but if you put a cup in it and then hit a bump the door would bounce and spill your drink. You know what would have solved that issue?

Open dampened tailgates flop in the wind when driven across rough ground.

Jay Leno did a video on his. It took quite a while to prep the thing before you could drive it. Preplanning was key and if an emergency arose that you needed to get somewhere now, you better just take the horse.

I never understood the whole tailgate damper thing. To each their own but what is the big deal?

It's a running joke at the Ranger5G board. Tailgate damper adds 25 hp, cures male pattern baldness, that sort of thing.

Ah! Like "Type R" stickers for Hondas.

Loaded the 2019 and the trailer up for camping. Ended up setting up in the dark. So, pictures. I’ll try to take some tomorrow.

I loaded the 20 and trailer as well. Taking the family camping till Sunday. I've camped 3 weekends in June. Only 1 planned for July. Maybe I can squeeze in another trip to Windrock about mid month

We have another big vacation planned in August and want to throw a couple weekends in during the summer. We’ll see if reality lets that happen.
