Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
I notice quite a few more on the road than I did years ago, before I bought my ranger. My granfather has a f100 ranger, wqhich is what drove me to get one of my own.
I see many more in the school parking lot than I did when I started. Many have an aftermarket stereo, Euro lights, custom exhaust or something on them. Gatlingburg had a few nice rangers in town the other day. I notice theres more coming in than use to be, especially during car shows and rod runs in the Forge. I also got destroyed by a Thunderbolt on the interstate going home a week ago. That thing was a beast... Is anyone else noticing more Rangers out there, especially custom ones? Or have I just not been noticing?

 that 4 door one was insane, never thought i would see one in person haha, maybe it was an illusion

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
I don't think that they are necesarily more popular, but just that they are good truck with dependable drive trains. So as time goes on you tend to see more on the road, simply because they are outlasting their counterparts.

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
Might I add too, they are in their 17th going on 18th year with this style body - that isn't counting front end changes just basic body

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
^^ Same here ^^
I now have a bad habit of counting how many Rangers I've seen. I count upwards of a dozen or more on my short trips. Not many customized ones though.

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
I have never seen another F100 Ranger Lariat in my town, and i've only seen two Brown/Beige 80-86 Ford trucks in my town.
However, I've seen 564,739,393 Rangers, an 1/8 of which have been white Edge models. They're all over my town.

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?

Re: Rangers becoming more popular than they use to be?
I believe I agree with many people in that they may not need a big truck and need the fuel economy of the ranger. I have seen many rangers in my area too and I have been getting comments and even offers from other people for my ranger!
