Rides like a caddy!

After putting around Memorial Day weekend in my 1929 Model A coupe, the 60 miles I put on my 98 Ranger today felt like a magic carpet. It rode smoooth, nice and quiet, shifted effortlessly, great acceleration, cool a/c, and even tunes on the radio. It was a sweet ride indeed, full of creature comforts. Back to the Model A in a few days but the ride in the Ranger today was most refreshing.

I will assume yor ranger rides like a caddy compared to a model A, cause I drive caddies every day and there aint no ranger that rides like one

Yes, that was my comparison. If you think the Ranger rides a little rough then spend a few days in the Model A and you will get a new perspective. Now, on the other hand, it may be too much for the system to take going straight from the Model A to a real caddy.
