How's that for an indecisive title?
I was originally looking at F150s and Rangers, but the additional cost of the F150 wouldn't leave me with much extra for accessories along the way, so I've eliminated the F150 from the equation. I spoke to my sales representative about the Ranger and this is the offer I was presented with.
MSRP:----------------------------------------------$28,050
Selling Price:----------------------------------------$26,061
Total Rebates:---------------------------------------($6000)
Trade Offer:-----------------------------------------($4000)
Price After Rebates:---------------------------------$16,061
Taxes, Tags, and Fees:-------------------------------$1,053
Total Financed:-------------------------------------$17,114
At the interest rate I qualify for, that puts me at roughly $268 a month for 72 months or $315 for 60 months, which is awesome.
Now comes the hard part... actually making the decision. Do I want to commit to a payment for 5-6 years or do I want to keep my '01 Explorer with 150k that is paid off? The kicker is that I've dropped a lot of coin on the Explorer over the last year.... gears, exhaust, wheels, tires, synthetic fluids, tune-up, etc. It is in top shape. I think one of the reasons I'm a little reluctant to get the Ranger is because the aftermarket is similar to that of the Explorer. We have limited options when it comes to lifts, exhaust, etc. Although, the Rangers do seem to have a slight edge over the Explorers.
How many of you guys went from Explorer to Ranger and never looked back?
