Ski are you getting bitten by the new truck bug?

Yes it would be nice to drive it with a good load and see how it handles.

Does the Bobcat fit the same?

Have fun with your dreams.

No dreams, Frank, of a new truck. Nice to see the new one. Both of us are a hard sell when it comes to thousands and thousands of dollars. Camper would fit the new truck with a platform but new truck should mean new camper, shouldn'd it? A new refinement here and there, maybe even a custom bed, turn the thing into a full time RV?

 

We should wait for a plug in hybrid that solar panels can top off.

 

Many many miles left on our current Ranger, everything works and it's been paid for since the day we bought it.

That's the smart idea IMO.

It's very hard to plunk down 1000ks & 1000ks of $s

then drive off the lot and lose 1000ks of $s.

Can't see you getting a new camper either.

If it's not broken why get rid of it,that's my view.

It's nice to look.Next time i am over in Monterey

I might have a peek at them.

I think spending some quality time with your favorite search engine might provide a rental agency with the new rangers. Pile in 20 or so 50 lb sacks of something in the rear & drive to a familiar spot to quench your curiosity.
Just a possibility. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just in case anyone reading this thread is interested in purchasing the Ranger (or just about any other Ford vehicle) it is relatively easy to get "X Plan" pricing without any haggling by joining the Experimental Aircraft Owners Association for only $40 per year.

I believe you have to be a member for 90 days but it will potentially save you thousands without having to deal with all the high pressure sales tactics that we all love....

Eddie, thanks for the tip! Apologies for off topic, but do you have an experimental?

No, racing Porsche's was thrilling enough for me but I sold that car to fund our camping adventures now!

Me either, but as addicted as I get to toys, I’m surprised I don’t. I helped a friend build a pylon racer (Cassutt 3M) in the early 70s.

Awesome time lapse video. Henry Ford would be proud.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I joined Ford Truck Enthusiasts a year or so before buying my F250.

 

There were so many knowledgeable people there and I was able to get a $3000 PCO from a link someone had provided where the best I could get on my own was $1500. Worth the price of admission.....(free:)
