Yes my post was a little short. Sorry about that. While I was looking for the correct menu options, I didn't finish my post. Short sighted I guess. But here is my proper introduction.

I'm sort of an older geezer of 48 but still 18 in mind and spirit. I like the sporty looks of my 2005 Ranger with nice alloy wheels and all terrian tires. I'm a product of the 60's and 70's muscle cars and trucks so that is more my taste in vehicles. My Ranger is dark (Smoke) gray with a 6 ft short bed, regualr cab with the 3.0 V6 engine and 5 speed manual stick. It fits the bill in size, power and convience. I acually had a hard time finding my truck due to the fact that most of whats on the dealer's lot was extend cab or larger. I was looking for a pickup and not a car disquised as a truck. I visited the competiion and found trucks that looked like luxury cars and precious little cargo space or they were so large that you'd have to park them on the road just to pick up coffee.

After visiting my local Ford dealer, I found I had a selection of trucks that had all the nice features but they also had trucks that fit a working mans bill. Regualr cab, plenty of cargo space and power to match the vehicle. Just what I was looking for. I might add that I must have visited the competitors lots and found row after row of duelies and 4 door models but nothing like i was looking for. I almost began to think that the "REGULAR" sized pick up was not even available anymore. Well, I hope that gives you so idea of who I am and what I like in in vehicles. Thanks for the Post and I'll be sure to check in often.
Best reguards,
Larry
