That’s a nice set up you have. I had a regular cab ranger then I traded it for one like yours. It was a good truck but I needed a more towing capacity. Now I wish I had it back!

Thanks. That’s about the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. 2005 year. I’ve had it 10 years now. Had the trailer for 9 years or so, and have had the tractor for 17.5 years now. I’m the third owner of the tractor. It came with the cab, tiller, snowblower, and 50” mowing deck. It’s a 1980.

The Ranger's were good trucks... No idea if the new ones are any good.
My first vehicle was an 1988 with the extended cab. I ran it hard for 10 years before the trans died. Took the shop 3 times to get that fixed correctly, and I lost faith in them/it being able to be my only ride. So it went to my father in 2000, and I got my Ram. In the ensuing 21 years, it got run reasonably hard, had a small building fall on it, and yet, last summer, when I went to scrap it, it started right up, and drove on my trailer on it's own. That 2.9 engine was amazingly reliable.
