Thinking about trading off the Ranger - Page 4

I have the 2010 Black XLT and I love it . It is tough to keep clean but it does lok nice after a wash and a wax . I paid around 23K , as I got a decent deal on mine . You can go online and pick out comparable prices from other dealers . 23K is a lot of money to begin with but thats what they are asking and getting . 22.800 is the actual price . An F150 stripped was the same price . I almost bought the F150 but the Ranger had more stuff with ther XLT package . Did nto know about the mazda wheels though ...
Siruis satelite
power windows
door locks
stereo - its ok but I have seen better
cruise
tilt wheel
4 wheel drive
traction control
anti tilt control

Already had it out on the beach in 4 high and it handled really good for a small truck . flat sand , tires down to about 15 to 18 lbs .

ALL electronic under the hood . I mean just about everything ....

yeah these trucks are VERY capable, especially in sand. I usually air down to 18 psi n the sand like you man. But yeah, the SOHC does have quite a bit of electronic stuff. I sure do love my shift on the fly transfercase! you can see my offroad adventures here:

It has the 3.73 gears

dixie_boysles · #49 08-25-2010, 07:08 AM

yeah, but it has the traction control that my 4.10 geared open diff doesnt.

Ben (jeweler54) said the traction control was pretty good

I vote grey, but now that i voted on the poll i feel like an ass cause it's right 50/50 now with 11 votes for each

Well the DSG won in my book. They are faxing the paperwork over now

When you get it, take off the running boards first thing! I HATED those things. All they ever did were get my pants legs dirty and took away my clearance.

DieHard4rd · #53 08-25-2010, 09:04 AM

LOL!! I made them throw them in. So I hope I like them. It's the chrome ones

dixie_boysles · #54 08-26-2010, 09:07 AM

yeah, sell them asap, they suck

DieHard4rd · #55 08-26-2010, 09:26 AM

Going to order the black headlights with matching corner lights. Looking at either the magnaflow or gibson exaust.

dixie_boysles · #56 08-26-2010, 09:47 AM

where the eff are our pics, when do you get it

DieHard4rd · #57 08-26-2010, 09:56 AM

It's a 2011 & I haven't seen it yet. It is supposed to be at the dealer in 7-10 days.

dixie_boysles · #58 08-26-2010, 10:14 AM

oh ok, I thought you were buying that XLT pictured above! cant wait!

DieHard4rd · #59 08-26-2010, 10:54 AM

No, the wife talked me into the 2011. Only 1000 less in rebates on the 11. Figure for a grand I couldn't pass on one a year newer truck

well if you plan on doing a 3" bl then id take em off then keep em but if not take em off for sure! but for exhaust a super 44 sounds the best but magnaflow is nice just quite
