Nah you would want the orange on the bottom. Lighter color would hide scratches better than black. And the lower portion is a prime damage zone, trust me I know.

Problem is I just bought a house and I don't want to get in over my head. But I also need something more reliable than the B2 for my 40 mile a day commute.

 

[Boggin]

would he take trade?

and yea Koda I know what you mean, I mean damn my bondo job can really show through the black rather than the oranger

Man, by a shitbox. That thing makes no sense. That's a gas pig. There's nothing wrong with your wife having a more powerful vehicle than you. You can still be the man og the house. My wife's car has almost 200hp more than mine. And you already have a pickup in the family.

Get a beater & the truck?

 

[Jspafford]

I have a beater, the B2. It is my DD, and gets like 23mpg.

I had a ranger just like that one that was an auto and a 2001 model. I traded it in on the F-250 and kick myself in the ass. It would have been paid off by now.

It has nothing to do with her having a bigger truck. My 2.9 would whip the piss out of her auto 3.0. They each have their purpose. However, the brakes on the b2 like to lock up at the slightest touch in the snow unless I run around in 4wd all the time.

I want something safer for my winter drive to work. Plus I don't have time to fix the B2 in the morning if it should break down. I already applied for a second job at Tractor Supply Co for the evenings.

Once I move, I probably won't be on here much anymore.

What's to break on that B2? It's as simple a vehicle as you could wish for. For their faults, non of my Rangers ever broke down. They got irritating at times, but they are too simple of vehicles to outsmart you. Spend a little time reinforcing it's weak points rather than getting another payment. That Ranger isn't going to be more reliable than your B2.
