Tacoma posts its best 1st quarter ever

Anybody seen sales numbers on the Ranger?

 

Has anyone seen the new ranger lol ??? I have yet to see one on the street. There have been 2 new ones at my local dealer for the last month or so and that’s all I’ve seen. Colorado’s are like mosquitoes on the other hand.

 

That Gladiator may end up outselling the Ranger

 

I saw a new Ranger on the road today, and there is no way I would even go to test drive one.
What in the hell were they thinking ?
Will they outsell the Ridgeliner ?

 

To smitty.

 

Wow, your on a roll tonight. Buy that guy a beer.

 

Where are all those guys saying the Ranger was going to kill Taco sales ??

 

I put money on Ranger would sell at least 50% of the Tacoma.

I honestly haven't seen a Ranger on a dealer lot, and the only one that I have seen in person was in Sacramento. I have not seen one here in the Bay Area.

I really doesn't make sense to buy one because the F150 is actually cheaper when all the discounts are considered.

 

That's like saying the Irish could rule the world if they just didn't drink so much. We like whisky.

 

Zero percent here. That means Ford would have had to beat the price of my Taco by $3K to be even money. If even money, I'd still buy a Taco! I looked at them all (but a Ridgeline). I bought the right truck. You did too.

And another thing: With it jacked up like that how are going to put a bed cap on it that looks good. Similar to the hideous rake on the bedrails of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. How to you put a bed cap on that? Do a tapered bedcap? Any way you cut it, if you are going to add a bed cap you better buy a Toyota if you want it to look good.

 

They are saying on all the video reviews that just pooped up this last week that a Rubicon Gladiator will be like 60K , that's insane,

 

So help me make sense of this given what I see out there (or don’t see):

There's a local old guy, (picture a super-aggro charles bukowski), who drive his Ranger like he's permanently running from the cops, I doubt that he's been on the speed limiter less than 3X a day since buying it

 

I saw my first one today, and at first I said what in the hell is that pos. As it passes I saw "Ranger".

 

So is an IPO until the 2nd day.

 

Perfect

 

Ended up being behind a ranger on my drive home today. Fx4 access cab or whatever Ford calls it. Ride height looked good but the rear was seriously jacked with too much rake. After 5 minutes I realized they don't even have a rear slider.

 

Gladiator Launch Edition, which basically comes with every crazy thing, has an MSRP of over $62K. That’s almost Raptor territory, good lord.
