Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
I've got both. I just like Rangers, I don't know why, just do.
Now the 150 is another story. It's a '12 bought new, XLT, it's a nice car/truck, but can't hold a candle to the '01 7.3 Superdude it replaced. I wish sometimes I'd just put the bucks into the SD, than the 150.

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
For me being 5ft 5in tall its much easier for me to get in, and out of my ranger. Hate having to climb into a vehicle like im climbing a mountain. I also like being anle to reach anything I may put in the bed of the truck as well. The ranger does everything I need it to and does it well. And finally I dont feel the need to justify my manhood by having the biggest truck on the road

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
the only things I still don't like about my ranger supercab are that the tilt column lever is easy to hit with my knee when getting in and getting a small suitcase in and out of the back without the rear doors is not easy.

its a shame. could you imagine how quick a single cab shortbed with the 5.0 would be with a manual?
i'll have to settle for the auto. The '11+ STX single cab shortbed v8 is an endangered species and I want one bad. If they had put the Ecoboost in the single cab it would be sex on wheels.

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
Oh wow, i had no idea they were doing that. They're bringing back the Lightning and calling it something else!
And they're putting 4.10's on it. That thing is gonna be a monster!

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
It's not a lightening with a new name.... Not even close.
Svt had absolutely nothing to so with the tremor.
It's just a truck to compete with the ram express.

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
Duh. i realize its not an actual SVT lightning and I don't want to argue semantics. my point is, RCSB f150 + special edition + factory 360+hp: close enough to say that it's like Ford has a new Lightning

Re: Reason for purchasing ranger vs f150?
Lol. Whatever. It's nothin like a lightening though.
It's simply a rcsb f150.
Could get one just like it back when the lightening was out to.
Saying its like a lightening is just stupid.
It's stock height, stock suspension, only difference is it has a fancy name and graphics. Big whoop.
Can get a rcsb 5.0 and have all that as well. Only thing missing is the tremor name. Big hairy deal. Same shit.
If it had a supercharged 5.0 or the 5.8 from the gt500, then yeah. I'd say its like a lightening. But it isn't. It's all stock parts aside from the name.
