Mom! We're not fighting. Besides, he started it! Well, yeah, I did call his ride a likely POS, ready to disassemble itself at any moment. But that's just factual. He has no right to get píssy about it. LOL

Not insulting at all. :rolleyes: I'd hate to hear what you say when you want to be. I do have an opinion. I figured we weren't on the same page so I spent ten minutes writing a post you have ignored. Because, why? What did I say that was wrong? Be specific. Please. If you just want to have an...

"...because you're getting your info from a 1986 Consumer Reports" Not insulting at all. My bad. Try offering some evidence that the Ranger isn't a steaming pile of crap. I'm open to being wrong. I'm not open to doing a bunch of research to prove you wrong. You're not worth my time. Sorry.

Skipping the '70s and '80s was a good move. A very good move.

The dead giveaway for legitimacy is that it's on 33s ...

You guys are assuming that he's for real and not a car salesman. That's probably a good assumption, very few car salesmen would stoop to something like this. :rolleyes:

I'll try to make my point a little better. I get annoyed when insults come out of left field. Usually it's the signal that I've won an argument. But we weren't arguing, so ... I'm confused. Things change. The worst car on the road today is better than the best in 1985. Japan has lost a step to...

You're not going to convince me of anything with an attitude like that. Just sayin'....

It's more like saying that I will never buy a Chevy Blazer because they've always been worthless piles of junk ... My sense is that Ford gives an actual shit about the F150. The Ranger? Not so much. I haven't seen that change since 1985. The Ranger even went away completely for a few years and...

A good friend owned an '85 Ranger back when I owned an '85 Toyota. It was such absolute garbage in comparison that I'll wait for the ten-year reliability numbers. He replaced the entire drive train save the engine in the first 50k miles. He sold it at 50k when the warranty expired. My rule of...

There's a new members section where you can introduce yourself. This sub forum doesn't get much traffic.

Shiny ones!

Mechanical parts fail from time to time. That yours failed doesn't mean that the design problem still exists.

But ... but ... but ... soy is green! :mad:

Used car prices appear to be on a glide path back to the long-term average trend line because demand for new cars is being better met. If you don't need a car today, you can likely save money by waiting. If you need a car, buy what you want. It's probably not worth limping along in something...

A computerized tailgate. Sounds … profitable.

You know how many times during my fifty years of driving pickups I’ve wanted to do that? Zero. They might be heavy and expensive and failure prone, but they’re useless.

Here’s a quick photo of the upgraded cam phasers. You’re welcome.

Hoses were popping off early on. Did you check yours? Haven't heard that the newer built trannys have problems. And Service Advisors pretty much view lying as a recreational sport, so I wouldn't take that to the bank.

Please don't tell me you're surprised. :)

You tell us. No hablo.

You can sell stuff for handjobs? Asking for a friend.

Pot. Kettle. Black. LOL

It’s nice to have one vehicle where if a goat ***** all over it, it just gets better. :p

First thought that popped into my head is that we kill bunnies. Then we dismember them, dunk them in cracker crumbs, fry them up, and chow down. I think there's a possibility that I'm a bad person because of that. I need to ask my mentor, @Oldfart what he thinks.
