Well Just picked up my new wheels traded in my 2004 VW Jetta TDI on a 2008 Ford Ranger Sport. I dont do as much driving as i used to and dont need the economy of my VW but i do need a small truck to haul my utility trailer now and then as i am tired of borrowing my moms minivan (i like to buy and fix motorcycles).

Its a pretty basic rig. Has the Little 3.0L V6 a 5 speed auto 4:10 rear gears and optioned with A/C Cruise Tilt and a bed liner and trailer hitch.

This is actually my THIRD Ranger (hence the Title). My first one was a 1999 Reg Cab XLT 2wd and my second a 1996 Ex Cab XL 4x4. All of them have had 3.0L v6s with autos . I have ALWAYS loved rangers and regreted selling both my previouse rangers almost immediatly after sale. So hopefully Third times the charm for me this one STAYS.

Anyways here are a couple pics.

nice truck

welcome to the addiction ( though it looks like you already have it )
 
Nice truck...where in Ontario are you?
 
:headbang: you'll love that truck, i have almost the same setup cept mine is manual (07 Sport)
 
Thanx for the welcome guys. I been a member here before when i had my 1999 but have long since forgot my login and such. I am loving this truck very much similare to my old ones but i am finding a few upgrades here and their i like (its hard improving near perfection LOL).

I was tempted to get a FX4 ranger but after a BAD experiance with my Dads 2000 Ford explorer's 4.0L i really wanted to stick with the old faithfull 3.0L v6 besides i ride a bike for my speed fix and intend to get a dirt bike next year for the off road stuff anyways.

Anyways heres another pic from today with my OTHER toy.

Oh and i live in the Kitchener area.
 
Kitchener...cool...I have relatives out that way...for some reason the pics looked "canadian" even without seeing the flag...then I realized it was the licence plate on the VW...
 
I live in buffalo and I wish I knew you before you bought that Ranger. I would have imported that VW and you would have gotten more for it.
 
Every stealership I have ever purchased from in the states always fills the gas tank full when you buy a new ride. WTF, this isn't common practice in Canada? Its only $50, but 'cmon...

Nice-ass truck. Nothin' like the smell of a new Ranger.
 
That pic was taken before it got filled it was given to me with a full tank of fuel.
 
I like how the new sport rangers have the grill look of the 02and 03. Nice
