The State of Texas is really making me jump through hoops to get my ‘01 Mustang titled - have to have the local Sheriff’s office do a VIN search to make sure the car hasn’t been stolen, then I have to purchase a bond for 1-1/2 times the value of the car before they will title it. All because title transfer laws differ between Texas and the state where this car spent the majority of its life. Not worried about it being a stolen vehicle - just a lot of jacking around that will probably burn a day or two of my free time......
Ug! I thought all you needed was title and green sheet from the inspection?

Went to a dealership last night for an oil change and while there looked at a Ranger. Loaded FX4 Lariat. Sticker price was $46,000. Gave me a little sticker shock.

I had the same reaction - nice little truck but holy cripes they’re proud of them! And from what I’ve heard they’re actually selling well.....???

My bud that owns a Ford dealership has 2 of them on the lot. He's only sold 2 so far but he's also asking $5,000. OVER MSRP. That's the number on his Rangers windshield. He made the mistake of not taking the link down where you can pull up the invoice/window sticker on Fords website. Yeah, his are the XLT and Lariats that he's gotten in. No base trucks yet. I've yet to see one on the road. Other dealers around here have a few but you have some that are asking over MSRP and one that's selling at MSRP. But none seem to be moving many of them as the ones they started with are still on the websites. You can buy a reasonably optioned STX for about 10 grand less. Kinda stupid to consider a Ranger that doesn't get any better fuel mileage.

They weigh about the same as a comparable full size too
It's been done a few times. But not very popular

all the gen 1’s were style side, and the few Gen 2’s converted look odd
