It's a boy!

My new truck was delivered today!

2003 Ford Ranger XLT
4-door SuperCab
FX4 Off Road
4.0 SOHC/5-speed automatic

It's Oxford White exterior and Dark Graphite interior. Has the 6-disk changer, power equipment group, etc. I normally would never buy a new truck, and probably won't be able to again the rest of my life. But I find out today if I qualify for 0% financing and if I do I'm bringing him home for good! So far I love this truck...it is basically the same as my '99 which I'm trading, but I can tell it is a bit more refined. Hopefully this truck will last 300K since I'll be in debt up to my ears for it.

Thanks. 0% financing is the only way I considered a new one. It is saving me $60 per month (if it goes through OK). I have never heard of 0% financing in my life, and it may never come around again so I figured I'd try to take advantage. Thanks again.

Congrats WXboy. Now the big question. Since you said it was a boy, are you going to do the "operation" or let it go natural?

Okay WXboy, I was just wondering if you were going to snip a little off the tail pipe or not.

Meanie...normally I wouldn't be shy to pull up to a mud hole in my truck , put it in 4-high, and mash the accelerator. But since the sticker on this little truck was $25K+, I doubt it'll see much mud for a few years

Thanks guys
