Why do you like your truck?

Why do you like your truck?

 

I like mine because...

- it runs

- it is reasonably efficient

- the manual is fun to drive

- the 4 cyl is reliable

- it is one of the few Ranger XLs that isn't white

- it is one of only a handful of 2001 2.5L Rangers

- the vinyl bench seat is easy to clean

- the interior reminds me of our 1986 Ranger

- it looks good to me

- though it takes a lot of my money, it can also make me more

- it has more "personality" than the other Ranger (manual and ancient engine design are probably why)

- the radio picks up 106.1 classic rock and 92.3 classic rock

- the radio works

- no need for floor mats

- it gives my left foot something to do other than sit there

- I can keep a suprising amount of stuff behind the seat

- the oil filter is easy to get to

- mud hardly slows it down

- nobody is going to break in to steal the am/fm radio (unless they are an idiot)

- the manual trans has made me a better driver

- it's my hobby

- it takes me places

- there really isn't much to break on the interior

- it doesn't make any strange engine noises like the other Ranger used to or my dad's hybrid does

- it's not slow

- Ford Motor Co. was its first owner for a couple of years, so it was probably well cared for

- the seat is more comfortable than it looks

- it has 50K miles and no problems to speak of

- the A/C works well

- it will lay rubber

- a turbo from a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is compatible with its engine

No posts? I guess there is nothing to like about GM trucks.

Because I Have Alot Of Neon And My Bumping Power Acoustik Sound System But It Runs Like Crap LOL

-It runs, and runs good.

-Looks good when clean.

-Has personality, you can tell it's mine.

-Comfortable to drive long distances.

-Lots of creature comforts

-It's a V8 and a diesel.

-Is capable of pulling/hauling more than anything I could give it. I know I bought too much truck, but that's better than not enough truck.

-Tows my car trailer like a matchbox car And gets 12-13 mpg while doing it.

-Is a great everyday driver.

-Rides quiet.

-Rides smooth enough for me.

-Gets 18-22 MPG while unloaded.

-Diesel is alot cheaper than gas right now.

-Has 4x4, which is great because my town SUCKS at plowing during the winter.

-As with any pick-up truck, it's practical. I can run up a bill at Home Depot, take my large purchases and just put them right in the bed. No haggling to get stuff crammed into a trunk. Can't imagine what that's like, I've always had pick-up trucks.

-Has an 8 foot bed, which is nice for hauling plywood. "I have an 8 foot bed that never has to be made."

-......and a cargo light gives off a romantic glow......there's something women like about a pick-up man.

Because it's mine.

I like mine b/c:

 

Sounds better than any other truck I've ever HEARD(<<disclaimer). everyone who's heard it says its a beatiful sound, not raspy at all, just strong and smooth.

 

and leave tire marks as I please

 

The truck is just plain mean on the road, you can scare other drivers to into letting you own the road

 

got a lot of looks.

when cleaned up, I even cought a Porcshe (968????) owner staring at it

 

EVERYONE liked it. even people who hated Chevy would come up to me and tell me it was a nice, clean truck(happened when I worked at the lube shop)

 

Could load it down with 1200# + of soda and it'd still scoot fine
