Hello From Michigan

I showed my wife some pictures of a black offroad. Her exact words were, "that looks hardcore," ... I said, 'I'm hardcore,' ... then she laughed and pat me on the head

 

gotta keep wiffy happy lol. mine says that my 15 is a money pit.

 

She understands I'm a gear head and indulges in my affliction lol

 

So, ordered mid December, sorry forget the date. Built I think on 1/21, delivered today, and I'm going tomorrow to pick her up



I'll get some proper pics once I pick her up and hit the dirt with her

 

Nice Taco! I'm an interior engineer for Ford to actually. I had the same issue with them not wanting to bring back the ranger. Seems like I drive the only Tacoma into work every day

 

I'm a crash safety engineer at Ford ... so if you're at the PDC you may see me around

 

I am in fact in PDC... if you go in the West Lobby I have the black Tacoma with the bed rack by the sidewalk usually

 

Nice I'm glad I'm not the only mid-size truck lover who wishes they'd bring the Ranger back ... I got to play around with one of the MT ones and I would love to have one, but sadly I need a new vehicle right now and can't wait for Ford to bring the Ranger back

 

Hey, do you know if there is a Ford off-roading club? I didn't see it listed with FERA, so I suspect not ... but with all this country to the north of us I'm surprised there aren't more off-roading fans ...

 

The word is 2018... I might be due for something by then but we shall see what actually happens. Been drooling over some of the diesels that been around work. Yeah can't beat a midsize pickup in my mind

 

Im not to sure. I dont think to many actually do. I usually get some weird looks when I tell ppl I like to drive slowly over stuff haha.. But I think they are pretty open about starting new clubs

 

Yea, I 100% understand why Ford had to trim the fat and tighten the belt back when they did, but I am still kind of bummed whenever I see these awesome Rangers around work and know they aren't being sold here. I saw a left hand drive, 6spd manual, diesel, access cab and was like, "damn, that thing is perfect!"

I also read online that there may be a Bronco to return with the Ranger!

 

yeah about the Bronco haha yeah i got a little confused by the fuel station when the right hand drive ranger pulled up next to me. Both of us were checking out the others truck lol
