Back in an F150

Hi F150Forum! I was on here several years ago when I had an 2005 F-150, and as of a few weeks ago, I am back on the platform.

I joined the Ranger's for awhile. I gotta say, I LOVED that truck. At the time we got it, my '05 was about toast, and the Ranger was the perfect size for me and the wife and some of the off-road stuff I was wanting to do. But as life does, circumstances changed. We ended up with custody of my nephews, and overnight, went from no kids to two kids. The Ranger is an amazing platform and if you want a smaller, mid-size, truck ever, I'd recommend it. But, even with all the upgrades and mods on the market, I couldn't make it bigger. So after a little more then 3 years and 120k miles of kicking rear with light off-roading, camping, and storm chasing, I had to trade her in. I raise a glass to my 2019 Ranger...

So we ended up actually going older, but with 30k less miles, and ended up in a 2017 F150 King Ranch. I do not deserve a truck this nice. It was very well cared for, so despite having 85k, she is gorgeous inside and out. Felt guilty putting her to work in pastures branding cattle the first weekend I had her. Kids are already enjoying the extra space. Just wanted to say its great to be back and I look forward to contributing where I can.
