TRS Event 2025 Carlisle Ford Nationals

I got the article, I just wanted more pictures to go with it to show people all the different things they missed and motivate them to want to go next year.

It's quite shocking that there were only 17 Ford Rangers in the entire fairgrounds. I figured there would at least be a few custom show trucks that get trailered to shows.

Maybe the Truck Nationals was the better option.

IIRC, we had 8 at the club tent for the Truck Nationals last year and about 4 or 5 in the regular showfield. There were some trailered rigs in 2023 because it was the featured vehicle, including a red, white, and blue Ranger trailered all the way from Texas, but none last year or this year.
One problem at the Truck Nationals is that if you're in the club tent area then you're not eligible for judging so we lose some nice trucks.

What I don't get is how the Maverick turnout is so huge when they've only been making them for about 5 years. They had 2 full rows marked off and 1/3 of our row and filled them. Owners are pretty much all old people like me.

Remember when Ford stopped production of the Ranger because they said nobody wanted a small truck?

Looks great, thank you.
Maybe post it on Facebook and Instagram too for cred from vendors as per our earlier discussion.

Carlisle published my write-up with a link back to The Ranger Station on their Facebook page.
Holy sh*t! I didn't see that coming.
