Have You Driven a Ford Marathon, Lately?

The other day I mentioned that I spent some time in Thailand, and that they loved the Ford Ranger. Well while I was there I snapped some fun pictures of various Ford trucks, and I thought I would share.

There are Rangers everywhere on the roads, but I even found something new I had never heard of before; a Ford Marathon.

So check out the little mini-gallery here and feel free to let us know which one of these trucks is your favorite.

My personal choice is the older black Ranger from the Mango Bay Resort. The only way to our resort by car was on a long road that was only partially paved. The unpaved parts basically consisted of a beginner’s off-road course.

I made that journey twice in the back of the truck, and holy crap is that fun and stupid dangerous. With slopes of 30-degrees, maybe more in a few short spots, coupled to big ruts, and large rocks, trying to keep from falling out was an adventure in itself.
