My dad used to have a 1991 4x4 Nissan D21. I loved it. I learned to drive in it. Now, it wasn't permanent 4x4, and to engage it you had to manually lock each front wheel dice. So when we had to go through some rough terrain my father would stop and have me get out and lock both front wheels. And when it was over I would have to get out again and unlock them. Good times.

Called the Thunder, it was a lowered Expedition with the same supercharged engine and set up as the Lightning with all the comforts of a full size SUV.. but sadly Ford said no. I will never forgive Ford for not giving it the green light.

As well as axing the 3rd generation lightning and the lightningbolt concept - which was a stepside 2002 ranger with a full drivetrain / suspension swap from a 2002 Lightning.

[@SaintCrownMusic]

Hey James. Just wanted to share something. I'm currently driving a 1988 Ford Ranger XLT. It's a humble truck, but it's got a lot of meaning to me. It used to belong to my Grandpa, who drove it to work at the paper mill for years. He, my Dad, and I used to ride around Mount Vernon, WA when I was very small. When he died a few years ago, the Ranger was passed on to my Dad. He used to pick me up from my apartment and we'd drive around town in the Summer. When my Dad passed last year, the truck sat at my Mom's for a few months, not being driven due to an issue with the transmission gear lever. One day I finally made myself jerry-rig and then take it around the block to run the engine and put some new gas in it. It somehow felt like I was back with my Grandpa and my Dad again. I've been driving it ever since. I'm currently (albeit slowly) working on getting it back to its original glory, and when it's finished I want to put it in a music video on my channel. In the 32 years it's been in my family, the only thing that ever stopped it from running was needing new spark plugs. I highly recommend one of these. I don't think I could ever sell this one though. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, James. Hope everyone is well and safe. We'll all get through this no matter how crazy it feels. ❤️

[@mishlerman2433]

I saw "papermill" and immediately knew it was in the pnw.

Don’t sell it man, that truck clearly means a lot to you. Glad you have something in your possession that reminds you of good times. I’m in the same situation with my fathers ford ranger.

My first vehicle was an 02 ranger I bought from my grandpa, he sold it to me for a thousand bucks and dammit it’s still my favorite vehicle I’ve owned. RWD, crank windows, 5 speed, 4.0, just an honest happy driving little truck. I don’t daily it anymore but I can’t let it go, at only 25 bucks a month for insurance it’s nice to keep around. Hard to let go of your first car

[@DiscoPh3v3r]

Damn, here in Texas we def call CERTAIN SUVs trucks. Example: Rav4 or 4Runner? Not a truck. A Sequoia? That's a Tundra with a topper on it. Excursions and certain Expeditions also fit in this category.

Just condemned one today. Needs timing chains and phasers, has a bottom end knock, and a broken exhaust stud at only 127,000 miles. I'm glad the customer declined the work. I like money, but I hate to see people waste it.

My 2002 Ford Expedition with the 5.4 just reached the end of its life with 300,ish miles on it no major issue we’ve had since brand new and that was on original engine and transmission with out rebuilding them. You need to take care of them and do all the preventative maintenance and they do great. Very please with my 5.4 also used it to haul trailers across country multiple times.

[@cmaljai]

manage a fleet of construction trucks mainly of fords and gmcs. Average age of our 5.4 super duty trucks is 17 years and the average mileage of 220,000 miles. People who talk crap about fords are butthurt chevy and Toyota owners. I honestly don't know why, GM makes good trucks too they just leak everywhere. Toyotas have cheap C-frames and are truly meant to be suburban garage queens.

Pops had a red first gen Ranger GT when I was in high school. Don’t remember how/why but I got to drive it for a while. Little bastard was quick. Geared just right and you could boil tires off that thing in first thru third. Loved it. Bent the shit outta that super long shift lever from bangin 2nd gear all the time. Had to Bend it back before pops started driving it again to remain amongst the living and it was not easy.
