    The small off road trailers come in real handy

    That's using the noodle. Neat little tractor you have too. I like the looks of that style of ford.

    I load over a cord on that trailer. Can’t back up a double so why bother using 2 if you don’t leave your own property? Load it like a rented mule and show no mercy!

    I had three Rangers over the years. Currently driving a frontier and have a Maverick on order. Of course it's really going to get the NART crowd going as it's a FWD hybrid
    My son will buy my frontier when I get my maverick.
    I also started the largest maverick Facebook page, back before there were any others.

    This mentality seems to be human nature. I've seen it before many times. I was guilty of it when younger.

    Back when I hunted deer a 243 was my cartridge of choice. Same deal with the "real gun" crowd. That's a womans gun bla bla bla. If you weren't using a 270, 30-06 ect you might as well have been throwing rocks in their minds. Thing is, I never had one run. Those 100 grain Nosler partition bullets wreck a deers day.

    I will play.

    Is it a truck?

    I needed something to drive while I pull the engine on my Yukon, aside form the diminished towing capacity and lack of 4wd compared to the Yukon, I don't hate it...

    I test drove a Sport Trak several years ago. Definitely rode like a truck compared to a 2004 Explorer.

    It is less than a half mile from my house, and yes, the reason that picture was taken there!

    Everyone thinks I am joking when I tell them my address number is 5678...

    Not a far drive from the back yard to the garage. One trip vs. multiple trips with a wheel barrow or the tractor and trailer.

    Maverick looks awesome, and the hybrid double.

    I have a 2019 ranger, but in 5-8 years I’m hoping for a hybrid pickup like the maverick or something electric like the rivian.

    My good buddy has an F-150 Hybrid. It’s got some great tech and he’s getting some impressive mileage. I’m looking forward to seeing that technology make it’s way into other trucks going forward.

    I just came home with a 2009 Ridgeline. Needed something to keep the miles down on my Ram, since I turned in my government vehicle (G-ride).
    Initially got an old Hilander from a dealer who let me put a campaign sign up in his business. What’s chatting with him yesterday and saw it on the lot. Drove it and wrote a check.

    this things is great! RTL model so has lots of comfort options. The tailgate system and truck are a big selling point. Fits perfectly into my lifestyle of fishing, farming etc.

    It appears from my research on YouTube , it will be great in snow and ice

    Congrats on the new truck! They are great vehicles. Roomy, good for hauling, comfy and reliable.
