2019 ford ranger review....

We live here because it snows and we enjoy it.

If climate change makes it stop, we'll move elsewhere.

Same here. Occasionally we'll have a relatively snowless winter and it's kind of boring. Can't do any of the usual winter activities (snowmobiling, shoeshoeing, etc.) but too cold to do much of anything else outside. I like winter.

Back to Ford Rangers. As seen at a trail head today.

I got blizzak tires mounted on steel rims but not installed yet. I'll post pics of them when I can.

Had a call from the Ford dealership yesterday. They really want to buy back my truck and will pay more than the listed value and have people waiting. I said no, I love my Ranger. She asked if she could call back in a few months . . .

I was tempted to trade my 2020 F150 in too and get the new body style, but like a coworker said to me "do you really want to buy a new truck now, when they are scrambling to find any make-do micro chips and parts they can manage to find to get them out the door?"
That made sense to me.

That's the thing...trade it in, then what are you gonna drive? Choose something way overpriced from the meager selection they have on the lot? No thanks.
My wife gets those calls too for her 7 year old Buick. Not interested either.

Personally, I'd never even consider buying new, I'll get something 7-8 years old in good condition then drive it 'til it drops. If nothing else, waiting that length of time shows which models are troublesome and which aren't. Downside of course is you don't have the choice of options, but that's not as big a deal today when you're stuck with this package or that.

Getting back on topic, I'd consider a Ranger next time I need a truck. Hopefully the supply crunch will have eased by then.
