Something new.......
After 23 years and 270,000 miles I traded in my 97’ F150.
Picked up my 2019 Ford Ranger this week.
Ranger XLT Crew Cab
2.3 Turbo 4 cylinder. 255 hp 275ft lb at wheels.
4x4 with off road Package.
302 kit
Need to return so bed can get spray in liner, tow hitch, bed LED lighting and mud flaps.
Also will get front window and windshield tinted. 35% front and 75% windshield like my GTI.
Using an option through work I plan to swap the tires for Bridgestone Dueller Revo 3’s. Can swap if OE tires under 500 miles. Truck now has Hankook tires.
Over all I like it. Sits tall and easier to drive than full size.
Strong build with beefy suspension parts. Great ground clearance. No rubbing on driveways. 10 speed transmission not as smooth as I would like. Need a TCU tune I guess. Plug in tunes increase HP to 310hp wheels. Will think about the plug in unit.

Two surprises,folding mirrors and automatic lights. The lights work well, turning brights on and off at the correct time.
Color, Saber. Why this color?
White trucks looks like service vehicles. Had black/dark colors, never again. Light silver an option but Wife has silver. They have a red with little orange. A second option but driving by the dealer every day after work I fell in love with the Saber. Most people like it. I like the contrast with dark parts and Saber paint. Not a black wheel guy but the magnetic wheel color looks good on a truck.
I would like to get electric side steps like these but might be 3 months until available in USA.
