Bought me one today

After 2.5 hours going back in forth with the salesman and manger finally got the price I wanted.

Bought a red 2009 Ford Ranger Sport extracab. Very sharp looking little truck. Has the 4.0L V6 and this things hauls butt for what it is.

Wanted another full size truck but after having a heart to heart with myself realized all I "needed" was a small truck.

Anyone else got a ranger?

Nice buy! Love those new sports, the grill is nice and clean! I'm jealous, there is a red one I've been looking at, it's got me drooling a bit! Unfortunately a couple years ago I ignored that little voice of wisdom and bought an F150 instead of a ranger, can't afford to trade up now so I just drive by and dream...

I whole heartedly agree with this statement!.............Now lets just hope some toyota troll doesnt start with the, "toyota trucks are made by God himself" speech.

I think you'll find most folk's here have a ranger being a ranger forum and all ha ha.
Congrades on the new truck. My 09 is my 7th ranger and I love them, there compact size works great for me. I beat the trails a lot and will fit most places my jeep will. Yet it's big enough to haul anything that I need to haul, works out great. The 4.0 has great power to weight ratio for the ranger, no problem there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed all mine and still do, good luck!!!

I've owned 2 Rangers which have served as my daily transportation for the last 22 years. Bought my first new in 86 and my present one in 97. They have served me well. I'm waiting on the 2011 and I'll buy my 3rd.

I also have a 2009 Ranger XLT 4x4, love it so far. Question? I took the stock wheels and tires off and put 20's on. Any one know how to turn off the dash tire low presser light.
Thanks
