My new "wheels"

I've been waiting on the shop to finish this for me since Thanksgiving. I finally picked it up Friday night. Here are a few picks of my new "ride".

Nice Ranger, BB.

Well shades of grey. Looks like mine but a little shorter from front to rear. I have a 2007 4 door 4x4. Gutless wonder 4.0 six banger with a 5 speed. But I'll never knock a Ranger for reliability and comfort. It just works too well for a basic little truck with no major issues in it's history. Bought it new in July of 07 and just clocked 50,000 kms the other day. Almost broken in now.
So BB, what year is yours?? Looks newer than mine.

nice ranger bb. mine is a 2001, 4.0 v6 auto 2 wheel drive four door with a little over 263,000 miles on it. it is rough but does what I need it to do.

Nice ride. So much warmer, cooler and dryer than a motorcycle - and you can roll down the windows for the "wind in your hair"!! Congrats

Until the wind whistles between your ears.

Imagine the dust that would swirl around in YOUR cranium!

Sorry to be so long in responding WW. It's a 2009 with 40,000 miles on it. I've been busy moving and haven't had easy internet access until this week. We had a little white stuff down this way and I've been rewarded with two days off from work.

Are you still in Georgia ?? Snow must be really rare that far south.
