Or bribing guys at work to haul stuff home for me.. Or having Hal drive around for a week with a Traeger in the back of his SUV..
I sent my old Hoopty packing today.

Very nice looking truck. You will sure enjoy having a truck.
I've been looking for one like this since summer.. They are kinda hard to find. (unless you want something with 150K miles and 2 wheels in the grave)
This is an '04 with 55K miles. Price was right.
I swore I'd never buy another black vehicle, and now we have 2. ::)
I bought a new Ranger in 95 and drove it until it had 150,000 miles then in 2008 traded it in for a 2008 F-150 Lariat. I miss the MPG of the Ranger :o But love the comfort of the big truck.
Now that you have a pickup you will find lots of new friends!
I know I did when I had one.
"No, I don't want to help you move!"
Nice ride!
Nice ride STC! That will haul some pellets and some meat. :D Maybe a smoker or two.
Nice new to you truck Squirt, with the price of gas these days it's the way to go.
Nice ride Squirt!
Glad to see it's a Ford product.
I have had an 89 ranger for about 8 years now, don't know how many miles are on it, and it is beat up on all sides.
i use it for back and forth to work and in the woods, i will never be without a truck.
Besides.....i can get parts pretty cheap and i know someone that can fix it ;D
Sure looks like a good one, Squirt. Nice find!
Growing up, I never wanted a truck. Now I don't know how to get by without one. Nice find!
The seats are pretty worn, so I need to find some nice fitted seat covers. And then a tonneau (sp?) cover for the back, as the bed liner has been equally loved..
If anyone has any product recommendations, I'm all ears. ;D

Seat covers - wet okole - a little $$, but very well made. we just put a set on the PT and I have the one for the Sprinter still in the box :-)
Nice looking set of wheels Squirt.
Someone has a new Pellet Hauler!
Nice ride Pat!
Having a truck can be like winning the Lotto...
friends, that haven't heard from in years, will call you.
Enjoy!
I've been a Ford Dealer guy for most of my life and I can tell you that is one of the most reliable small trucks on the road! Built like a tank! They have twice the frame of any imports. Had a 94 myself and drove the wheels off of it. Sold it to a close friend, and he has put 167000 miles on that thing. Good buy!
Good to know! I'm happy I snatched this one up now. (there were 4 other people, and 1 dealership interested in it)
It drives nice, and isn't as "truck like" as I was expecting.
It's got a few warts, but there is another Blue Oval Angel on the forum that is helping with that..
Mrs: "Pat bought a truck?"
Me: "Yes, that's what I said..."
Mrs: "Pat bought a truck?"
Me: "Yes, PAT BOUGHT A TRUCK..."
Mrs: "Pat bought a truck?"
Pat bought a Truck?
When I moved to the Country, it took me about a week to realize that I had to have a truck.
First off, there is no Garbage service so you have to haul your own to a collection station.
And then there was 4 wheelers, boats, deer camp, etc.
NOW you will be the one that gets ask to haul this or that for a neighbor. ;D
Probably all your neighbors are saying ............. Pat BOUGHT a TRUCK! YEAH!
I was one of the few without a truck.. All the guys at work have them. All my neighbors have them. Some never move - they just sit in the garage until they need to haul something.
I've been waiting and waiting for a 4 Sale sign to pop out on one..
This was the perfect opportunity, as I was just about to schedule a $$$$ appointment for suspension/belts/timing chain repairs on my old Sebring. And even then, the transmission in that thing was a ticking time bomb.
I'll see if they have it sitting on the lot when I go by there again..
Son wanted a NEW Sebring (2000) for Graduation and I was stupid enough to get it for Him.
Kids and a Sebring don't go good together.
I should have got Him a Truck with rubber bumpers!
