The Danger Ranger - 2003 Ford Ranger 2WD 3L 5spd

[OVERKILL]

I see. I figured the rhyming thing, but did not know there was a specific "let me dog my truck thing". They are good trucks though IMO

Oh yeah, it's like a whole thing. My son is now in a "group", another Ranger buddy of his has one with body parts off like 3 different trucks (one being a Mazda). It's like the Jeep Wrangler people, they are their own breed.

So knowing this, how mad can you be at son when he follows suit?

I mean, he already took it offroading with the super sketchy Hercules tires that were on it that were mostly bald and somehow didn't manage to get stuck, so I guess, impressed, kinda, is the feeling?

Good taste in the tire selection and most importantly white lettering out .

white letter out is correct

I agree. Too many people these days don’t like the white lettering out.

I have those Toyo Open Country AT3's on our Defender. Seem to work just as well as the BFG K02's they replaced.

Always annoyed me we never got the V6 over here. Only a 2.5 4 cylinder diesel.

I have one truck where whites will not be out, but all others do. I remember wiping the white walls down on my dads car as a kid......my introduction to SOS pads.

You reckon Hercules are sketchy? I thought they were pretty good. I used a pair on a DMAX work truck and they last just as long as Michelins and Coopers. Or is it just you specific ones as they were at the end of life?

These were sketchy due to their age and near-baldness, not the brand.

Good choice in tires.

Thanks, I thought so! I had Toyo's on my F-250 and was always very impressed with them (it was, like his truck, 2WD).

We drove up to the cottage yesterday afternoon, which is about a 2 hour drive. He brought up the Ranger, which is the longest trip he's made in it, and it performed beautifully. We did get hammered with a bit of rain, and the tires were excellent he said, which I was very happy about, as this drive was the reason I pushed him to get them changed before the weekend, along with the u-joint replacement.

The Toyo OCIII are great tires, I've had 3 sets. On either of my Jeeps I rarely had to use 4WD on road in the snow. Excellent off road, surprisingly good in the mud for an AT.

He's owned the vehicle for almost 2 years, what do you think this post of yours adds to the conversation?

Well Dan, I want you to know that I take the opinions of internet anons who haven't mastered basic punctuation EXTREMELY seriously. Can you DM me your phone number so I can have him contact you before any future purchasing decisions?
