Default 2022 Ranger on order

I've ordered a new 2022 Ranger (never thought I'd order a new car). So I thought I'd see what I can learn about the best mid-sized truck in the world

I looked for months at used trucks in early 2021. Crazy prices for well-used trucks, so I ordered a new, Ranger in March 2021. It was delivered in late September (6 months!). The price was only about $10k higher than a 200,000 mile Toyota, so I'm very happy to have waited. I bought the base model XL with vinyl seats and rubber mat (carpet delete). It's Race Red and I've added a chrome for the grill, side steps, door handles, and mirrors. I'm very impressed with the comfort compared to the previous generations of Rangers I've owned. In the 5 months I've had it, my total (3500 miles) MPG is 26.2 as of yesterday. I've pulled a landscape trailer about 200 miles of that, so I'm impressed at my 90% country road driving mileage. I'm over 70 years old and drive like "grandpa" most of the time, but I'll admit that kicking in the turbo is quite a ride, too.

Race Red. Kind of a plain jane truck. 4x4 with tow package the STX trim package and that's about it.

Sounds nice still, the STX pkg offers quite a bit in comparison to the 97 version ; )

The modd bug should be easy on you.. lol

The Ranger finally arrived, July 28. I haven't found anything I don't like about the truck, and that's saying something.
I really like the way it drives, although the transmission is erratic. But that's expected at first until it "learns" how to operate. I was a little surprise to find out there is a 1000 mile break in where you aren't supposed to pull any trailers. I expect because of the transmission getting itself tuned.
