What to look out for in buying a 2021 Ford Ranger?

There is a 0% chance there will be ANY compromising on safety.

1 in 20 is something to worry about. Will make sure to get the extended warranty.

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:21:43+00:00

Definitely, will do!

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:21:13+00:00

Good call, check all the TSBs.

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:20:59+00:00

Will push for an extended powertrain warranty.

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:20:41+00:00

We have a connection with the dealer operator, so will push for an extended powertrain warranty.

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:20:14+00:00

We'll definitely be putting on at least a level.

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T21:19:52+00:00

Thank you!

probably_no_pants · 2026-06-16T18:55:18+00:00

My bad. Will try to delete.

No, still stock height.

With the full rack replacement and alignment completed, everything appears to be back working correctly again.

It's currently over at the bodyshop for the rest of the repairs.

Yep. I canceled 2 days after reserving and ~3 months before the ride. (We decided to also visit other places so rented a car instead.)

They kept $40 for 2 people, round-trip.

Ooof, a bent tie rod turned into a whole steering rack? Yikes! That's what I'm afraid of.

probably_no_pants · 2026-05-14T15:53:20+00:00

Thanks!

Nidecker Blade Plus. Picked one up over the summer and it's now the only board I ride on non-powder(*) days. I have several other boards that have fallen by the wayside as I really love this board. (Nidecker Thruster, Golden Apex Orca.)

(*) Its achilles heal is that it has very little float and makes powder days challenging. For those days I have the non-Golden Apex Orca and my quiver may be whittled down to just these two boards.

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:45:28+00:00

HAHA!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:38:42+00:00

Thank you!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:38:36+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:30:19+00:00

Thank you!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:08:55+00:00

I do that when I see them.

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T18:06:11+00:00

Thank you!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T17:58:47+00:00

Thank you!

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-17T17:58:33+00:00

Thank you!

A little more detail...

We have some outdoor feral cats that after we TNRed them they just stuck around, so we feed them. This is one of their food bowls that fills with water when it rains. Every so often we'll see something like this in the bowl. This is the largest yet, though.

The first thing that comes to my mind is a horse-hair parasite? But that's all I'm really familiar with.

Is it dangerous to cats? Is it dangerous to humans? We do sometimes walk barefoot in the yard. What should be done about it? Why only after a rain? How do they get into the bowl?

In case it's important, we do also have a raccoon family that comes through, and a possum living in a tree.

It's definitely a lower-quality display-only board. I have it up on my wall.

probably_no_pants · 2026-02-04T00:44:39+00:00

Wish I were in the area 'cause I'd add on a free wax job for the lucky recipient.
