I'm back, or I guess you can say that....

I used to frequent another forum back in the day, can't remember the name off hand right now. Oh yeah, Ranger Power Sports. I started my driving career in 1996. It was a 1992 regular cab ranger with the 2.3L and 5 speed. I later got me a '96 extended cab, then finally I splurged and bought an almost 2 year old new holdover in '01, a bright red '00 4x4 ranger sport exteneded cab. I drove it for a while, ended up trading up to an '02 F-150, then an '04 F-150, in the mean time owning a red '91 mustang gt, but it got totaled. I later sold the '04 f-150, it was too hard to get a baby in the back seat (extended cab) at the time and bought a low mileage '02 Mountaineer. Wife also had and '08 Escape at the time. I then traded the Mountaineer in on an '05 Expedition, and the '08 Escape on a '10 Edge. The Expedition is nice and all, but it gets about 14mpg down hill, most of the time its trips by myself, or running my 2 kids to town. Thinking if the new ranger pans out at 25-30 mpgs, and the price is 10K-12K cheaper than a new F-150, and theirs enough room in the rear seat of an SCrew, it may be my next truck in the near future. I hope to see some familiar faces around here. It's probably been 10-15 years since I've been on a ranger site. I thought maybe I was already registered here, but I guess not.

Hey I was onboard there also a long time ago, haven't been active to much on another Ranger board I belong, still have my '02 and found the new '19 interesting so I'll be back lurking around getting re-educated about the new gen Ranger

Hey welcome! We had to recreate our forum in 2007, so who knows, maybe you were on the last one.

yeah, looking forward to the new ranger.....teething pains and all.


I really liked the ecoboost edge we had.....got a brand new explorer now...

if it didn't run on e-85 I would be hating it.

I hope the ranger keeps 20 or so city driving.

I probably was, I sold my '00 Ranger around '04 or '05 when I bought an '02 F-150. I think I was on about every ranger forum at the time.

Wife's got a '10 Edge. Non ecoboost, it has the 3.5L. I'm going to be due to get rid of my Expedition at about years end, it's getting a ton of miles on it. If the ranger will have as much room in the back seat as my wife's Edge, I'll probably be interested. I have a 4 and 8 year old I have to tote around from time to time, but mostly I just need a vehicle that gets me 10 miles to town and back. The expedition is a gas hog. I'm hoping the new rangers will get around 25 mpg. If they do, I may wait till they come out before making my trade.
