"hey, give me a frappa-wappa ding-dong, with a double shot of mooshed almond, whipped cream, and an unidentifiable honey-like substance!"

“Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino” is a real drink on the menu… maybe there are longer ones but I’m not a Starfan.
Or maybe I could try the Super Venti Flat White, priced at $148.99
I understand the addiction. My sister can’t even “deal” with a regular cup of generic coffee anymore.
personal indulgences are fine…. Just make sure you have additional funds hitting your 401k for your future .

Not to mention the Jeep Gladiator.

It's not without a little regret I dropped my 2024 Maverick off at Sound Ford in Renton, Wa Monday. My Wife and I are retired and elected to become a one car family. We needed a truck that can pull our travel trailer and a new Ranger is the ticket. 2026 XLT 4X4 2.7 advanced trailer towing and 301A group. You might be surprised at the fact Ford is the only midsize truck with a V6. Nissan may offer one but their Frontier is totally dated. Love the Ranger but gas milage is about half of the Mavrick will miss him a lot and miss this forum. My best to all the members. Tom Kauffman

Congratulations on the Ranger, I just did the opposite swap and sold my 2019 Ranger with 2.3 after over 5 years and 65k miles of ownership.
Only had one issue with a leaking right rear axle which was covered under warranty.
It was great for towing my enclosed 2 place snowmobile trailer (7.5’x 16’ and weighing about 3000 pounds, although my hybrid 25 Maverick tows the same trailer very well).
I was happy doubling my mileage with the Maverick.
I would suggest that you join the ranger forum ( I was In the 5G one) the people there are a lot like the folks on this forum helpful and non judgmental.
Enjoy your new truck.
Brian

What a coincidence, I see you live in Spokane. I live in North bend and just drove out to Spokane on Wed to pick up my replacement Maverick at Corwin.

So pretty much every midsize truck besides the Tacoma and Colorado!

Love this post. I thought I was the only one left who doesn't drink foo foo coffee. I'll take my cone drip, dark roast, 30-w every morning. No synthetic of synthetic blends for me. Now... back to car talk.

Big fan of the 2.7 option in the Rangers after having 2 of those engines in my previous F-150s.

I've been keeping my eye on those Rangers...

I bought my Maverick in Snohomish. I'm live in Yakima.

My wife will do Starbucks occasionally, but usually she will grind some beans from Black Rifle or some boutique roaster and have her pour over. I grab a Diet Mountain Dew, faster better tasting to me. Never could drink coffee. Tastes like burnt toast.

Congrats on the new Ranger. You need to have the right truck for the job!

Yep that is a rock solid power plant and a good truck also, I like them

I thought I was really cutting edge by using heavy whipping cream and a dash of cinnamon in my fresh-ground Peet's Major Dickason Blend coffee. 2 cups a day, that's my limit. So, so, SO much smoother tasting than the overpriced burnt stuff you get at certain coffee retail chains.

Enjoy your retirement and adventures along with the travel trailer and the new Ranger! Send some photos once you are on the road.

Best of luck and enjoyment in your new vehicle. Travel well, and be safe!

Didn't the Frontier get a complete refresh in 2022? Not sure how that counts as dated.

That refresh should have happened in 2012.
The tech was so dated the 2022 was ten years behind all the other 2022’s out there.

They did what Toyota did several times, kept the same inefficient motors,
And just rearranged body and dash panels.
