ever been amazed by what your ranger can do
During the winter of 2010 my current ranger was new. During this time we had a blizzard hit our area. Strong, Strong winds, and heavy snowfall. Being a volunteer firefighter i decided to get to the firehouse and stay over night during the storm. Anyway I left work just as the storm got started, drove home packed my bag and drove to the station, by then it was getting bad out but I made it to the station with no problem....although the Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with a plow on the front didnt. Even acter the storm was ovwr and there was 20-24 inches of snow on the ground I still made it home. My truck really impressed me

I'm amazed that I fit inside it so well, and that I haven't had to be pulled out if anywhere yet

Bought my 2011 Sport 4x4 in Dec 2011, no snow first year I was so disappointed. Then this past winter we had so much snow! It snowed 10" two days in a row! The highway was littered with hundreds of hopelessly stuck cars. Only saw semis and UPS trucks on the highway, 10 mph. In town was worse, cars lined the streets, stopped at lights then couldn't move. My truck never hesitated, I wanted to see what it could handle, and 20" was no problem at all! Plus was hella fun!

Haha I did it was an 06 power stroke king ranch. He slid down into a ditch during a snow storm, and when I was plowing his driveway, I asked him why his truck was in a ditch, then offered to pull him out. He laughed at the fact that I even offered and said " good luck trying to pull it out with your ranger" next thin you know, his truck is out of the ditch and the paycheck in my hand
