aye take some more pics nah like of the interoir n stuff

[Mr. Go Slow]

Well To all those who were following my decision, I paid down on my 2010 Ranger today, with the 3.0 duratorq engine.

It's not manual like I wanted, but it offers the most of what I was looking for given the options available locally.

I think I will start a new thread documenting my experiences with the van seeing as it's, my first ever new vehicle and my first diesel vehicle ...

Will post pics once received ...

Just in case you are following this thread and not the 2010 Ranger thread:

Sorry about the night pics!!
Keep in mind this is a bare stock van ... I'll accessorize slightly later ...
Not into bling, so off-road / functional mods, bedliner, nice roll bar, etc

[Mr. Go Slow]

Here's some shots of the well protected undercarriage. Very nice job with the Ranger, Ford!

Transfer case:





Front skid plates:





View of the body with everything well tucked away:

Please let me know if I misidentified anything

[Mr. Go Slow]

Just to update, van is over a year old, I drive it hard, put diesel, service on time (10,000K for the ranger) and have had ZERO issues.

Absolutely love this van.

See the Ranger tech thread for more experiences.
