Went to the dark side... 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor

Hell yeah dude! I’ll take that one over a big list of other vehicles to include the 3g or 4h Tacoma. Can’t beat a vehicle FR locked from factory with a properly set up suspension. Cheers!

 

Back seat has a little more room than the tacoma! Front seats are best in class for sure. MPG kind of blows(I got 18 hwy coming home from dealer, now driving around city about 14) Build quality so far is great! I checked bumper and hood alignment on mine and looks good. I have seen some guys have had some issues with that. Better than my tacoma built in Mexico for sure. The hood and panel alignment on my Tacoma was pretty jacked up. My build date was 12/24, so hopefully since it was so late I will not have issue's. If you can swing it, I say go for it. It's quite the machine for sure.

 

Yeah...don't get Banned!

We got a Mortgage Refinance prior to the Truck Loan too.

15year/2.87% Mortgage Rate!

Since I'm a little older now, wife & I are looking at finishing payments sooner rather than later.

Her 2017 Elantra is paid off...but she does hint at a New Car! lol (We're only dreaming of course but don't want the payments)

Goal is to be able to pay more towards the Mortgage and be done before 2036.

 

sweet deal. I was “offered” a RR back in June for “only” 8k dealer markup. I would have probably taken your deal too!

 

Wow! No way anyone should pay ADM's! Smart man!

 

i got less than that on a used vehicle recently

 

things were different in 2021

 

Fortunately for wife and I.

We had to keep our FICO scores up--mine was 838 and wife was just a tad lower at 829.

We had to submit two paystubs (consecutive months) so we made sure not to create unnecessary charges.

I wasn't about to go out and buy a truck beforehand!

EDIT: FICO scores...duh, should have been in the 800s not the 300s.

 

Hell yeah u did!!!

 

You have always been my hero! What I have seen more like 11% is the norm. I guess I should have got a hold of you for help! LMAO

 

but you got alot of discounts

 

Yeah, but still. Over the course of the loan you pay a shit load just with a 1 point higher rate. I did everything well except on the backend of the deal. Kind of drives me nuts. I make a good living so I can eat it.

 

Well, that's always a plus!

 

being happy is what its all about

 

best mid size on the market right now if you ask me. im sure some brand loyalists will disagree but compared to a new 4th gen tacoma and this for the same price its really a no brainer

 

Makes the Trail Hunter look silly. Spec on spec. Brand loyalty aside. Jus’ sayin’

 

Looks great, enjoy the ride!

 

Nailed it! Thanks man!

 

I'm averaging 16.5mpg in my tacoma so I am expecting parity. Any insurance issues? Higher lower?
