The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread

[Gainaxx]

I hate that I dont have a toolbox in the bed and have to have my work tools and stuff in the cab behind my seats

Hate the fact I dont have a subwoofer because I dont have room in the cab because of issue one

All in due time though lol

Get a flatbox powered sub, I have one in the rear of the cab and a set of drawers on the floor and I can still jam people back there!

A box isnt the problem lol

The problem is I have my tool bag, waist pouch, ratchet set, hard hat, and a few miscellaneous items behind my seats

Should have specified its a standard cab

This is what I'm saying. I have found a flat box but I have tools behind my seats, single cab.

Buy a toolbox? Mine is like my trunk, couldn't do without it.

I hate that my Ranger is cursed. Every %$&#*!@ traffic light: "STOP! You and the 15 other cars on the main road of traffic need to STOP so this one car that just pulled up can turn left." Then of course, the light stays green for 2 minutes with noone else going through it.

Then of course, the left turn light and main light of the traffic travelling opposite goes green; it doesnt matter which side im on. After Ive idled for 5 minutes, I get a green. Just as I get up to the next light, "STOP!"

It doesnt matter whether I take off slowly or floor it complete with quick shifts- result is the same.

My hatred for the traffic light burns with the intensity of a million suns. I lie awake at night wondering if hell is downtown Austin.

Its not that I'm in a hurry. It even happens when I am just going out for a drive. It gets so bad sometimes I laugh. I'm talking no cars on the road except me- light turns red and I sit there for 5 minutes.

I mean, I know some lights are timed and all that, but damn does it get annoying after awhile.

OK, but have you ever noticed when you pass someone, they are always behind you or beside you at the next light. JS.

What is this "pass someone" that you speak of? Trust me when I say I drive the Ranger pretty damn slow- passing people is something reserved for the bikes I have.

I get what youre saying- but it seems like my truck has a chip that tells lights to turn red whether other cars are on the road with me or not

Where I live, if you stick to major streets, you will be sitting in traffic. It's all about the side street shortcuts .

For driving, yes it is.

^ You guys should drive on the east side of Evansville for a day. They didn't nickname it 'stoplight city' for nothing. You got moron drivers, green lights that last for a few seconds, people that don't move when it does turn green (see no. 1), rows of stoplights that aren't timed in sync with each other, and not to mention the roads themselves. Pothole here, a pothole there, crappy patch work and manholes oh my. Just cross the bridge into Henderson Kentucky and you immediately see a difference. It's pathetic.

EDIT: To build on that, the exit to my neighborhood right now is blocked off by sewer work. Two things wrong with this. One, sewer work. Stinks to high heaven. And two, for some reason, they made it so you cannot make a left turn. There's a second exit three blocks down or so from the first one, and guess what? That one is blocked off too. You can only go to the right. However, every place we go to requires you to go left. This is a four lane road, mind you. Help me!
