We Bought a Truck


Well, we thought we could pull the T@belot with the Subaru, and we probably could have...but, I have always wanted a truck and we just couldn't resist this fantastic little red Ford Ranger.  Ford has been making the Ranger since the early 1980's and they haven't really changed much in its design over the last 30 years. That is actually what we like about the Ranger.  It is retro in a stylish way and the last of the "little trucks."  If you haven't noticed, trucks keep getting bigger and bigger.  The Ranger is pretty tiny compared to the new comparable "small" trucks such as the Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier.  But it does come with a standard 6' bed, a 4.0 liter V6 engine. and 16" wheels. 

This truck looks brand new.  You can't tell from the pictures, but it is actually a 2004!  The previous owner traded it in for a bigger F-150 at our local Ford dealer and we happened to be cruising the lot at the right time.  The truck hadn't even been detailed or invoiced.  It only has 25,000 miles on it.  That is only 4,000 miles a year if you do the math.  We are pretty excited to have a truck.  I have already taken a load of stuff from the garage to the thrift store and another load of tree limbs from our neighbor's yard to the dump.  It is great to be able to load up the back and haul stuff away.  We can't wait to try out the new truck with the T@belot.  Can you believe how great it is going to look with the red accented T@b?
