New Truck and I love it so far

It has power folding mirrors which is good because I have a single car garage.  It fits with the mirrors out but folding the mirrors in makes it easier to park in the garage.  I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is when driving for a truck. It has all the neat stuff like collision detection and blind spot detection as well as Apple Carplay and Android Auto.  So I can plug my iPhone in to the USB push a button on the steering wheel and say something like, "Take me to 1111 Drive, Drive Street, city name, state name," and the GPS pulls it up with voice prompts for directions.  I can even say something like, "Take me to closest Home Depot" and it will do the same.   It is the most advanced vehicle I have ever owned as far as technology.   Overall I really love it so far.  I'm having a Line-X spray in bed liner installed next week as part of the deal.

I'm still learning how to park it as this is the largest vehicle I have had.  The rear view camera helps when backing up but after driving smaller cars over the last 25 years or so it takes some getting used to.

Super Nice!! I plan on selling everything I own in about 2 years, moving to Wyoming and the Ranger has really caught my eye. The only downside I see is, you can get an F150 at the same price and the mileage isn't much different. Very nice truck George!
