Hey-oooo!
"Long time" ranger-stationer, first time corral-er.
Folks that are here from TRS might know that yesterday morning I took my 2021 Ranger on a little trip to see about upgrading to a Bronco.. well..
Here it is! 2023 Big Bend.. with the correct number of doors 2.3l & 10spd.
Beyond elated at the moment. While the big bend isn't exactly "loaded" it does have more nice touches than the XL Ranger...
-"Full size" radio screen
-Auto/dual zone climate control
-Heated front seats
-Shift-knob and steering wheel covered with what used to be a sentient being
-Heated side mirrors
-More USB ports (that hopefully provide more amps than the ones in the ranger )
-110v outlet
-Terrain modes
-Way cooler looking instrument cluster
-AND JUST LOOK AT THE THING!
I'm not extremely hot on the blue to be honest.. but at least it's not RED (Sorry @RonD) my first ranger was a darker blue.. and I learned to love it.. so I'm not worried. I'm just happy that I could aquire a 2 door without needing to spend 45k on a used base model from carmax/carvana.
Msrp just a hair over 43k.. with 3k ADM. The ADM doesn't bother me, as I said.. I was prepared to spend just as much money on a used base model so.. got a lot more for my money this way.
