I'm sure you all know I sold my 1996 Ford Ranger 4x4 TRS-2. I built that truck in 2004. TRS-3 has been long over due, and I've been building it in my head for some time.
It's time for a newer version. The options are:
1) Buy a 2019 Ford Ranger 4x4 and have the newly released Ford Ranger to promote TRS. The downside is all of the wheeling I would do with it in that first year, as well as the miles I'd cover. The other negative would be the purchase cost
2) Find a way to get Ford to give me one to promote as I'm travelling across the country celebrating our 20th anniversary and promoting The Ranger Station.
3) Build another one off of the last generation.
Which will it be?
IDK, but I've been setting money aside. Whatever I come up with has to represent The Ranger Station, the Ford Ranger, and it's capabilities as an off-roader well.
This post is going to be my daily reminder to get this done.
