My 2017 Thread

trucklette; a little truck, in this case a 1/4 ton.

Rangers are shitty; which part requires translation?

I was wondering if a Ranger was like a Mountie and I have encountered trucklette for the first time in my life that I can recall.

I had an S10 for a decade and a half...

As we lived originally in the suburbs, it was a trade-off.

The s10 was a better truck than the ranger.

In particular, Rangers rot in the x brace above the spare tire and Ford doesn't make the replacement piece any more.

And the motors they use are all awful. The 4 is an old tractor motor, the 3 litre is a car motor and the 4 litre uses more gas than a 5 litre f150.

Terrible little trucks, but they were cheap to buy.
 
Like my body, I used that S10 until every single thing began to give out at the same time.

As the man says,

If I leave this world as an organ donor, I did not live life to its fullest. :cool:
 
My dad has an S10 with less than 100K on it. Nice little truck with the 4.3 Vortech. Perfect for towing a bass boat.
 
Jeez, we have to disagree- fancy that, Lance.

The Vulcan block has been around since the 70's, so the 3-litre engine is old, but reliable technology. On the highway, I use barely 11 litres/100 km. I'm pretty sure that that's better fuel economy than most of the Yank behemoths you favour.

Yes, I bought it on price... funny thing, I was offered $15K for it recently- with 280K on the odometer.

Anyway, I give about a half a rat's arse what others think of my choice. The wee fawker still meets my needs, and the body's still fine.

Our other vehicle is a '16 Forester... have at THAT one, if you feel the need.
 
I thought you bought Forester's in the big tranny-fluid cans...


A lot of Hillbilly truck snobbery going on here.

A Forester ain't no truck, Pilgrim.
Hellacious good station wagon, however.
These modern SUV's handle and ride like sporty sedans. :D

Here's a fun thing for you to do with your wife's Forester....

Park it so one wheel is on ice and the other three on asphalt.

Try and drive it and see what happens.
 
O Great Northern Karnak... sometimes you're truly thick as a brick.

I shall enunciate clearly so you're in no doubt as to content:

Can you say "Traction Control"?

Or am I gerrymandering the argument? šŸ˜Ž
 
I have four-wheel drive.

Low and high...



I don't use it often. I have sandbags for the bed. :cool:

Try it; you'll see.
 
Democrats still don't get why they are lost.



Now they are rehanging the police as pigs picture...

I'm starting to hope they never figure it out.
 
Law Enforcement Appreciation Day



Obama makes like the NFL and refuses to light up the White House...

They just don't "get" it.



Washington Memorial goes dark in protest. :cool:
