In the market for a vehicle. I am primarily a cyclist now, and have been getting by with a 2012 Fiesta bought new. That car has been, to be fair, fantastic. But I miss the utility of the F150 I had parked next to it at one time. I am trying to split the difference now and find something that will do it all; haul the bikes, maybe a motorcycle, some hay on occasion, decent mileage, and driver aids. I am not set on a Ranger, but it checks the boxes of my desires pretty well, not including the sentimental ones (my dad had an '88 when I was a kid). But...if I am considering spending $40,000 on a vehicle, I shouldn't make a decision on emotions alone. Also, I plan to make it a LONG term purchase. Hoping not to purchase a vehicle for a very long, long time. I want something I can do my own repairs on for the long haul.
Are you happy so far? Lots of competition out there. Wagons and vans are on my potential options list. But I still lean towards a truck.
Also hoping if I wait until the end of the year I can get a better deal.
